论甲午战争时期的红十字会医院

甲午战争时期,中国历史上第一次出现了以救助战争伤兵和难民为宗旨的国际性红十字会组织,它以红十字会医院为代表,主要分布于营口、烟台、天津等地。这些红十字会医院都是由在华的西方人士(包括传教士、外交官、商人、军人)组织创办和领导的。它们对当时战地的中国伤兵和难民的救助起到了关键的作用,因此受到了中国社会各界的支持和认同。同时,西方现代性质的红十字会组织在中国的出现,对于中国传统和近代慈善事业的发展也具有重要的转折性意义。

网络慈善捐助引发的思考

随着网络技术的发展与普及,在慈善行业衍生出一种新型的网络捐助形式。网络捐助具有门槛低、传播快、互动强、匿名性、集群性等特点,然而网络捐助也引发关于隐私保护、个人判断丧失、捐助的道德行为向无意识不道德行为转换等问题的思考。对于这些问题,不仅应该在完善慈善法规、建立网络慈善基金会、加强慈善捐助网站审核、设立网络慈善监管部门等刚性方面加强,而且也需要从网络伦理自律等柔性方面来约束。     

儒家美学“仁”范畴之泣会化审美价值观

就人生美学意义看,“仁”生命域的达成是“人”内在心灵的升华、净化与超越,也是儒家美学所推崇的最高审美域的实现,是人生境域的审美提升,是需要“人”自身本心本性的去蔽与敞亮方能达到自由之境域,个体的人经过长期修养把握了“仁”,把“仁”变为自身自然而然的行为——克服和控制情欲,处理好自身与自然、社会、及人之间的复杂关系,感受、体验生命存在之美的意义,即是豁然开朗,也就获得了自由。“仁”是儒家美学思想的核心范畴,同时也是儒家美学的出发点与精义所在,在“仁”的伦理价值中包含着审美价值的内涵。

Charity sport event participants and fundraising: An examination of constraints and negotiation strategies

Charity sport events provide participants with a meaningful event experience, and the opportunity to support a charitable cause is a critical component of this experience. This opportunity often involves fundraising, either as a requirement of event participation or as an option to supplement registration. However, fundraising as part of charity sport event participation is a difficult task. In the current research, the authors examine the challenges faced by charity sport event participants in soliciting donations, and the effort made to overcome these challenges. Constraint negotiation served as a theoretical framework to guide this examination. Semi-structured interviews (N = 27) were conducted with Triathlon Pink participants to discuss their fundraising process and their attitudes towards fundraising. Four constraints were revealed: lack of receptivity among potential donors, perceived lack of money from potential donors, discomfort in asking, and lack of time. These constraints were negotiated through three strategies: narrative, prizes and incentives, and emphasising that any bit helps. Based upon the themes uncovered, charity sport event managers can implement increased education of fundraisers and point of sale donations within the registration process.     

Welfare and Charity in a Sixteenth-Century Jewish Community in Egypt: A Study of Genizah Documents

Musta?rib is a term that refers to the local Arabic-speaking Jews in Syria, Palestine and Egypt. The article discusses the Musta?rib community of Cairo in the late sixteenth century. Like other Medieval Jewish communities, the Musta?rib of Cairo had an advanced system for support of the needy. It included regular support for the poor, for widows and orphans, and occasional help for foreign travellers, captives, and more. Based on Genizah documents in Judaeo-Arabic, the article discusses the mechanism of welfare in that community and proves the influence of European Jewish immigrants on the construction of this system.

The Musta?ribs are romanticised in classic Zionist historiography as deeply rooted farmers. The article argues that the Musta?ribs were first and foremost members of an urban population. It also suggests that contrary to the classic image of them as a fixed and unchanging population, which resided in the same area for successive generations, the Musta?rib society should be viewed as a society in motion. They adjusted to historical changes, were influenced by other Jewish cultures, and applied changes to improve their welfare system.
