文化传统内蕴的自组织机制与农村社区发展——对九溪村的个案研究

社会变迁提供的体制环境和文化传统内蕴的自组织机制的有机结合促进乡村精英的成长,另一方面,乡村精英在公共空间的活动中能够正向地推进农村社区的发展。从九溪村精英成长的内外部机制及其对村落发展的作用和影响的双向关系中,可以看到乡村社会原有经济社会文化结构是精英成长的内部土壤,此“传统资源”不容忽视甚至在当下应予特别地重视;时代变迁对村落社会的影响及其给精英人物命运的走向带来的机会并非是脱离精英人物成长土壤的绝对“外部”因素;正是在内外部条件共同作用下,精英人物的成长才与其活动的社区之间形成了一种良性互动关系,这种关系无疑在村落发展的过程中能够发挥出积极的作用。

论章永康诗歌的忧患意识

章永康是清代黔西北诗坛上的著名诗人,才气纵横,功力深厚,名动京师,在黔西北、全省乃至全国产生了一定影响,他的不少诗歌充盈着忧念民生,关切国事,指责时弊的忧患意识,但最为集中地表现其忧患意识的,是他的《行路难十二首》。忧患意识萌芽于殷周时代,形成于春秋战国时期,影响整个封建社会和现当代,渗透于儒家思想,不仅是中华民族文化传统和积极进取的民族精神的重要组成部分,也是中国古代诗歌的传统主题之一。章永康诗歌的忧患意识是对古代诗歌中忧患意识传统的继承和发展,具有较高的社会价值和美学价值。     

Liberalisation,privatisation, modernisation,and schooling in India: an interview with Krishna Kumar

In 2004, India’s Congress Party wrested control of parliament from the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party. I present below an interview conducted with Professor Krishna Kumar, Delhi University, the new Government’s choice for Director of the National Council of Educational Research and Training. Professor Kumar discusses the ways that liberalisation, privatisation and modernisation complexly interact in late twentieth and early twenty‐first century India, paying special attention to their relevance for schooling. Professor Kumar thus links education to some of the themes most salient in the social sciences.     

Toward a Sustainable Method for Core Journal Lists: A Test Case Using Journals in Social Work

Determining the core journals in a discipline serves an important role for both academic librarians and departmental faculty. In addition to helping librarians build or weed journal collections, especially in difficult budget years, core lists help departments seeking accreditation, committees evaluating a candidate’s scholarship for tenure and promotion, and faculty choosing publications for their research. They also assist faculty guiding student research in the discipline. However, because of the inexorable changes that have occurred, and will continue to occur, in scholarly communication, no such list can be considered immutable. The purpose of this study is to identify a method by which individual librarians and/or libraries can create a list of journals considered important to a discipline, one that accurately reflects the state of scholarly communication in a field as it relates to the currency and quality of journal literature, and that is sustainable over time. More specifically, our purpose is twofold. First, to develop a sustainable method for defining the universe of potential core titles; and, second, to identify the core titles within that universe. As the result of discussions on this issue with a social work faculty member, the authors used social work journals for developing a methodology that may be applied to other disciplines.     

Relational Maintenance and Social Support in the Aftermath of Sudden and Expected Death

Bereavement is a state of grieving after the loss of a loved one. Past research has suggested that bereavement is particularly challenging, both physically and emotionally, in the aftermath of unexpected death. Here, we examine bereavement in which death occurred suddenly, compared to a chronic condition where death was expected, in terms of perceived social support and relational maintenance with the deceased in the form of imagined interactions and social media interactions. Results indicated that individuals experiencing sudden death bereavement were more likely to engage in both postmortem relational maintenance techniques and perceived less social support than individuals in the expected death bereavement group. Results are discussed in terms of previous findings.
