金融危机视阈下对资本主义的反思和社会主义的展望

全球金融危机再一次证明了资本主义不可能避免周期性经济危机,而社会主义的实践探索开辟了克服资本主义周期性危机的新路。中国特色社会主义以及拉美＂21世纪社会主义＂的兴起预示着世界社会主义的光明前景。全球金融危机下资本主义和社会主义更需要相互借鉴、共同发展,实现不同文明类型、不同政治制度、发展模式的重新磨合。     

People-based marketing and the cultural economies of attribution metrics

This article examines People-Based Marketing (PBM) to theorize the cultural economies of attribution metrics. Through an analysis of marketing discourses, acquisition patterns, and marketing collaborations, it examines how platform capitalism is increasingly directed towards developing cross-device identity standards that consolidate performance metrics across digital markets. PBM extends the processes of platform capitalization across media properties, and the ways that claims of value and relevance are imbricated with the metricization of behavioral change in digital markets. The imperative of PBM to standardize techniques of identification and to make media increasingly measurable across markets has been a catalyst for new forms of data resolutions through strategic acquisitions and identity resolution consortiums. Moreover, emerging regulatory changes such as GDPR may in effect further reinforce trends towards the consolidation of data management and analytics platforms necessary to resolve identity across markets.     

法国共产党关于社会变革道路的再探索

选择什么样的社会变革道路实现社会主义目标是国际共产主义运动中的一个重要问题。苏联模式社会主义坚持认为只有彻底打碎资本主义,才能建立社会主义新社会;而民主社会主义则认为只需在资本主义制度框架内不断改革资本主义,就可以实现民主社会主义。法共认为,苏东剧变证明苏联模式社会主义和民主社会主义都没有成功地变革资本主义,在反思苏联模式社会主义和批判民主社会主义社会变革道路的基础上,法共针对法国社会变革动因和社会变革主体的新变化,提出了新的社会变革道路——“超越资本主义”。     

Capitalizing the big man: Yao Ming,Asian America,and the China Global1

In summer 2002, Yao Ming, the Chinese basketball player from Shanghai, was drafted by the Houston Rockets as the overall first‐pick. His advent to the NBA quickly brought about a phenomenal impact, both economically and culturally. He was not only voted by the fans to the All‐Star game and replaced Shaquille O'Neal as one of the starting five in the Western Conference team, but also boosted the ticket sales of the Rockets' game to an increasing Asian American spectatorship. Instantly, he is more than the ‘little giant’ from China, but the great ‘yellow hope’ for Asian Pacific Americans — representing the ‘Chinese’ and the Chinese market in the age of globalization. Considering entertainment sports as a distinct place for transnational labour and commodity transactions, this paper takes Yao and his proliferating cultural economic impact as an occasion to analyse and critique the China Global as a national‐capitalist fantasy that is materialized at the expense of ‘stylized’ bodies. Acknowledging, although not endorsing, Julianne Malveaux's crude metaphor of basketball plantation, this paper suggests that Yao articulates a different mode of global capitalism than that represented by Michael Jordan in the 1990s. This mode of global capitalism is not so much about the labour of conquest as epitomized by black athletes, but about the attraction of the market and the availability of labour supply as inscribed in the history of Chinese immigration. The American dream of Yao, ultimately, is the capitalist and nationalist desire for ‘bigness’.     

当代资本主义社会的“H1N1病毒”——迈克·戴维斯《资本主义与流感》的启示及其他

迈克·戴维斯把资本主义与当今全球流行性疾病的发展和肆虐联系起来,认为资本主义既是导致全球流行性疾病发展加速的真正罪魁祸首,也是国际社会对全球性流行性疾病的预防和控制难以奏效的原因。他的《资本主义与流感》从一个新的角度说明了当代资本主义给人类社会带来的灾难,也说明了全球流行性疾病的解决绝对不纯粹是一个医学上的问题,人们可以从中解读出当代资本主义社会的＂H1N1病毒＂。     

民主革命时期毛泽东对资本主义和社会主义关系的认识

毛泽东认为民主主义革命是社会主义革命的必要准备,社会主义革命是民主主义革命的必然趋势。民主主义革命一方面是替资本主义扫清道路,同时又是替社会主义创造前提。在民主革命中团结资产阶级是走向社会主义的桥梁。民主革命阶段资本主义的发展有利于无产阶级,是帮助社会主义的、有利于社会主义发展的,是为社会主义奠定物质基础。     

对西欧封建商业迅速跨越资本主义门槛的再认识

相对中国来说 ,西欧封建商业的发端是低层次的 ,在时间上晚得多 ,在水平上原始得多。但到 1 6- 1 8世纪 ,西欧封建商业演出了一场“商业革命”,并完成了从封建方式向资本主义方式的过渡。这种变革的成功得益于良好的国内政治环境和思想意识环境、复合型大农业的兴起、人口的流动和世界贸易的开拓。这些经验对我国今天的发展仍具有借鉴意义。     

论"自由个性"对个人主义的超越

马克思的"自由个性"思想超越了资本主义的个人主义,主要体现在马克思对资本主义的个人自由进行了前提、实质、结果的全面批判与解构,以及对个体与共同体相统一的彰显之中.揭示马克思"自由个性"思想对资本主义个人主义的这种超越,可以使我们在面对西方自由主义社会思潮的入侵和诘难时,做到有力地回击与批判.     

Towards a theory of transnational academic capitalism

This article draws attention to the relative lack of theoretically and methodologically elaborated approaches to understand and explain the complex relations between transnationalization of higher education and globalization seen especially from the point of view of global capitalism. The main aim of this article is to contribute to the construction of a theory of transnational academic capitalism (TAC). A theory of TAC argues that those networks, practices and activities that are blurring the boundaries between higher education, markets and states are increasingly becoming transnational without supposing that this transformation implies that local and national levels are insignificant in studying TAC. In this respect, focus is especially on methodological starting points of a theory of TAC. It is argued that a theory of TAC should be based on sociological relationalism and qualified methodological transnationalism.     

Stiegler Contra Robinson: On the hyper-solicitation of youth

Abstract

This paper examines the affective disorders plaguing many young people and the problem of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder in particular. It aims to define the limits of the critique of British educationalist Sir Ken Robinson in terms of his philosophy of ‘creativity’ through a consideration of the ideas of French philosopher Bernard Stiegler, especially the notions of ‘industrial temporal objects’ and stupidity (bêtise). It makes the case for adopting elements of each distinct research paradigm as a prolegomena to forging a social critique of capitalist-dominated, market-led educational institutions. The former, it will be seen, identifies some of the problems facing teachers in terms of the use and application of technology, the false divide between arts and the humanities, but falls short of explaining the root of the structural and psychic malaise in neo-liberal regimes regarding classroom breakdown in general. The latter, despite the apocalyptic tone of some his pronouncements provides an update and radicalization of Deleuze’s societies of control thesis in terms of what Stiegler designates ‘uncontrollable societies’. Stiegler, it will be seen, presents a critique of technology that is all the more pressing in an age in which the loss of expectation in the lives of young people can lead to a corresponding fall off or destruction in ‘deep attention’. I want to test the hyperbole of Stiegler’s assertion that young people today suffer from a ‘colossal’ attention deficit disorder of unprecedented scale and magnitude.
