神明信仰与土客关系——清代上犹县营前观音堂碑文的解读

通过对江西省上犹县营前镇观音堂碑文的释读,结合营前的社区历史演变,可以观察到清代至民国营前土客关系和政治经济格局的演变,从而为理解营前的地方文化提供了新的素材和视角。在客家传统社会研究中,必须从历史性的角度去解读客家社区神明信仰的变化,从中发现土著与客籍之间、不同宗族之间或其他社会力量之间关系的演变,并仔细考察导致这种演变的因素,从而为解读“地方文化”提供可深入挖掘的素材,获得理解“客家文化”新的视角。     

Psychological well-being and ethnic identities of Jewish adolescents planning emigration from Russia and Ukraine to Israel: Changes during the post-perestroika period

This study examines psychological well-being and ethnic identities of Jewish adolescents planning emigration from Russia and Ukraine to Israel. Measurements were conducted in 1999 (n = 654) and in 2005 (n = 243). The adolescents were questioned about half a year before they left their homeland. In Russia, adolescents who planned emigration in 2005 had less emotional and behavioral problems and suffered less from loneliness than their peers in 1999. In Ukraine, no improvement was found in psychological well-being; moreover, the school competence of adolescents who planned emigration in 2005 was lower compared to their peers in 1999. Adolescents who planned emigration from Russia and Ukraine in 2005 reported a more positive attitude towards their homeland and stronger identification with the ethnic majority in their homeland than the adolescents who planned emigration in 1999. The emigrants’ attitude towards Israel did not change from 1999 to 2005. Their identification with Jews was weaker in 2005 as compared with 1999. In both cohorts, the adolescents’ attitude towards Israel was more positive than their attitude towards Russia or Ukraine, and their identification with Jews was stronger than that with Russians or Ukrainians. In 1999, Russian/Ukrainian and Jewish-Israeli facets of the emigrants’ ethnic identity were contradictory, while they were complementary in 2005.     

“It's on Time That They Assimilate” – Differential acculturation expectations towards first and second generation immigrants

Research has shown that societal majority members have specific conceptions (i.e., acculturation expectations) about how immigrants should acculturate. These expectations are often less welcoming towards devalued than valued immigrant groups. In a 2 × 2 experiment with a sample of 187 German majority members we show that acculturation expectations also differ in terms of which generation members of the targeted immigrant groups belong to. Our results revealed lower endorsement of integrationism towards the second generation of both valued and devalued immigrants. However, the results indicated that acculturation expectations were particularly unwelcoming towards the second generation of devalued immigrant groups. For valued immigrants, segregationism was lower towards the second generation than towards the first generation. For devalued immigrants in contrast, assimilationism was higher towards the second generation compared to the first generation. Majority members’ tendency to be less willing to endorse cultural maintenance for second generations stands in stark contrast to immigrants’ preference of cultural maintenance and may therefore lead to particularly conflictual societal outcomes. Implications of the findings for future studies are discussed.     

Using Narrative Therapy to Assist College‐Age Latino Immigrants

Latinos represent a large percentage of the immigrant population currently entering the United States. These immigrants may face mental health issues related to their immigration and acculturation experiences, leading to a need for counseling. The authors introduce narrative therapy as an appropriate treatment modality for college‐age Latino students.     

欲望与挣扎：透视新移民文学中的性爱窘困

在留学生或者新移民小说中,＂性＂是个比较公开也比较隐秘的话题。或因身份的尴尬、生存状况和命运跌宕各异,移民爱情婚姻是海外作家格外偏重的题材。从故国到他乡,东西文化间的冲撞胜过交融,新移民文学的爱情叙事,后现代的文本实验取代了传统表述;异国婚恋题材已是千奇百怪、旧貌换新颜。然而形形色色在欲望中挣扎的性爱窘困,并不全是为性而性、为爱而爱;作品在挖掘人性的复杂和性爱的残缺扭曲的同时,表达现代人对异域荒诞世界的冷峻审视和无形的精神穿透力。     

社会问题、教育问题、抑或种族问题?--法国2005年城市骚乱简析

2005年10月始于巴黎后蔓延数省的法国城市暴力事件有着深刻的历史原因和社会背景,大部分参与者是身处弱势的移民子女.移民,在法国有时被纳入广义的"外国人"之列,后者约占法国总人口的十分之一,绝对不容忽视.法国教育政策的制定和实施中没有充分体现应有的平等、非功利和多元的性质,以及公民道德教育效果欠佳,这些都是身处弱势的青年,特别是移民青年反社会心理和行为形成的重要原因.     

关于土家族形成源流的再思考——论古代江西移民对土家族形成的影响

土家族的起源问题,历来学界以"巴人说"或"巴人主体多元说"拥趸为众,然上述理论均突出强调巴人在土家族起源中的主体地位,而对中古以来其他族群尤其是江西移民在现代土家族形成过程中产生的重要影响未给予必要的重视。文章试结合相关文献及调查资料,着重分析古代江西移民在现代土家族形成过程中的重要影响。

Second chance education matters! Income trajectories of poorly educated non-Nordics in Sweden

In this study we examine the long-term impact of second chance education (SCE) on incomes of poorly educated individuals who live in Sweden but were not born in a Nordic country, using data on income changes from 1992 to 2003 compiled by Statistics Sweden. Ordinary Least Squares regression analyses show that participation in SCE increased the work income of non-Nordics by a higher percentage than that of Nordics. The results also indicate that much of the effects of SCE on non-Nordics are related to increases in “Sweden-specific” human capital, rather than increases in their educational level per se, which seems to provide a form of ‘endowment insurance’ that improves their labour market position in Sweden. Relying on the theoretical framework of the Capability Approach, we conclude that such effects are related to the instrumental economic value of individuals’ capability to be educated, as well as the value of material well-being.
