Something new: value and change in finance*

ABSTRACT

Ethnographic and social scientific accounts of the financiers that buy and sell companies for profit often homogenize the players in these social dramas, relying on blunt, totalizing definitions of culture or overly deterministic articulations of habitus. This article, drawing on a two-year study of private equity investors, offers an alternative analytic frame for making sense of how private equity people buy and sell companies. It explores the ways in which private equity people make arguments persuading one another and the larger public that an investment is worth making. Important to these arguments are not only substantive content, the evidence that investors marshal to support a thesis, but also reflective evaluation of what counts as good evidence, meta-commentary. It is in these split levels of analysis that we can appreciate the cultural diversity within finance, Wall Street, and investment banking. I will also suggest that understanding how investors are arguing substantively as well as meta-pragmatically begins to outline a useful theory of culture change within the world of investment banking.     

消费社会大众文化勃兴视域下中国武术审美化生存研究

消费社会大众文化的勃兴使人们开始了视觉文化转向,以此为切入点,运用文献资料法、逻辑分析法等研究方法,结合当代社会中国武术发展的实际,指出竞技武术是视觉文化转向的产物。研究认为,大众文化的视觉审美特征使竞技武术一开始就走向了表演性的审美趋向;大众文化的勃兴使武术出现了"类像"现象,消解了传统武术和竞技武术二者之间的等级次序;大众文化审美化生存中的武术发展也造成了人文思考缺失。

在视觉艺术教学中如何培养大学生的视觉文化鉴赏力

当下视觉文化对于大学生的影响日益深入,如何培养大学生对视觉文化理性、客观、科学的鉴赏能力,这是我们应该予以最大关注的内容.教师正确的引导、加强自身学习和艺术实践是提高视觉文化鉴赏能力的必要手段,除此,在视觉艺术教学中培养大学生的视觉文化鉴赏能力还可以通过以下四个方面入手:一、学习视觉艺术的语言;二、在视觉艺术中发展各种观念;三、在视觉艺术中传递和阐述意图;四.在情景中了解视觉艺术.     

Working with rules: lived democracy in school

This study focuses on an attempt by a Swedish secondary school teacher to fashion a more participatory education situation by involving his students in deciding the rules for their group work. Five group sessions were video recorded and examined using a conversation–analytic approach. The findings show a complex interplay between democratic and undemocratic elements in the interaction between the teacher and the students, as well as among the students themselves. Throughout the material, the students often reconnected to the democratic discourse of the teacher and employed it for various purposes. This also meant that the students’ work with the assignment was sometimes set aside. However, because it can be assumed that the students pick up new democratic competencies as they partake in the sessions, the teacher's participatory agenda can still be defended. The findings are discussed in relation to previous research.

讲述老百姓自己的体育故事——论央视《体育人间》的叙事特色

选取我国体育纪录片《体育人间》中3个系列片为主要研究对象,通过对其文本进行分析,结果发现:《体育人间》偏重使用第三人称叙事,其限制性视角促成了其栏目的平民定位,并有助于形成客观的叙事态度及叙事的同步性。     

运动员注意优先效应的初步研究

通过考察分心刺激数量、目标-线索一致性和目标特征来探讨运动员视觉选择性注意中的优先效应,力图对运动员的信息加工能力从注意认知的角度提供新视角。实验采用3×2×2被试内设计。结果表明:有效线索提示和新异目标具有注意优先权,有效线索-新异目标>无效线索-新异目标>有效线索-非新异目标>无效线索-非新异目标;运动员具有较好的视觉选择注意加工能力,能充分利用现有的诸多信息进行合理有效的整合加工和决策,调整自己注意的范围和焦点。     

妈祖石雕神像蕴含之互动意义解读——从社会符号学的角度

在后现代时期,科技、数字、多媒体的发展改变了人际交流方式和意义表达。除了语言,图像、颜色等其他社会符号系统同样也具有社会功能。以Kress & Leeuwen的视觉图像语法理论为基础,妈祖石雕神像为例,尝试对其社会符号学的视觉解读,探究神像所表达的互动意义。从接触、社会距离、态度和情态等方面分析发现,无论是设计者的创意、构思还是具体的表现手法和产生的效果,都充分体现了妈祖石雕神像丰富的人际互动意义。
