波德莱尔与波希米亚生活的诗学空间

波希米亚是西方19世纪以来一场影响颇为深远的艺术文化运动，在这一运动的美学转型过程中，波希米亚文人波德莱尔有着非常突出的贡献，由于他的理论提升和文学实践，波希米亚由一种自由放浪的艺术家生活，真正成为一种诗学现象，最终蕴酿出20世纪以“生活与艺术边界溶解”为核心的先锋艺术原则。波德莱尔抓取了波希米亚生活的诗学核心，真正给予波希米亚主义意义转型，为生活进驻艺术提供了美学辩护。波希米亚生活的诗学空间就此打开。

城市设计的现代性

城市设计的现代性本身就是一种富有生产力的力量,它不仅生产文化、建筑、设计与艺术,而且是延伸到过去与现在中去的一种创造性生产图式,由赋予其生命的时间与空间连接在一起.现代城市设计对人在城市建筑空间环境中的心境投入极大的关注.欲构建时空一体化、文化与自我认同,从中承传和发现时空的现代意义,以持续不断地进行现代城市设计创作.     

现代性和后现代性的生成境遇

现代性是人类理性化的展开过程,后现代性是流动的现代性自反性的产物.中国正骑在现代性和后现代性的墙上.无论怎样,当代中国都必然具备后现代品格,都必须传承现代性精神.     

论现代性与全球化的关系

现代性是全球化的动力，全球化是现代性的必然结果、实现途径，同时又塑造着现代性。离开了现代性无法理解全球化，反之亦然。二者之间相互形塑的关系告诉我们：中国应重塑自已的现代性，要准备好走输出型或辐射型的现代化道路。     

Market Cultures,the Middle Classes and Islam: Consuming the Market?

In discussions of Islam and consumer practices, there is a tendency to focus exclusively on the “clash of cultures”, particularly that between Islam and the “west”. In Islamic societies, consumer culture is often portrayed as a threat, harmful to religion as it privileges hedonism, pleasure, individualism and an expressive lifestyle. To counter the influences of the market and “deislamisation”, Islamic fundamentalists and revivalists have posited Islam as an innoculative pill against decadent western values. Such analyses, however, do not add very much to our knowledge of contemporary modernist Islamic societies undergoing rapid social and economic transformation. In examining the case of Malaysia, the paper seeks to shed some light on how the various interpretations of Islam impacts on modern Malaysian Muslims.

The paper starts with an examination of the central concept of Islam as a discursive tradition and its continuing legacy in the Malaysian social and political formation. The paper next examines the role of the state and how its ability to affect a national vision of high‐modernist development and growing affluence has created a new Malay middle class. Increasing wealth and a growing middle class have seen an intensification of new consumption patterns and practices. At the same time, there is a growing Islamisation, and culturally and politically the urban Malay middle classes are split as they are both sympathetic to the Islamic revivalist tradition and are active consumers of middle‐class lifestyle. These contradictions played themselves out in the public sphere and percolate down into everyday life and practice, affecting power structures and discourses. Classes, identities, entrepreneurship, the nature of capitalism, civil society and dissent are consequently all affected. The paper therefore argues that the differing interpretations in Islam enable different understandings of consumption and identity formation and that such analysis can engender richer and greater analytical insights in the context of Islamisation, modernity and consumption.     

Peak event: the rise,crisis and potential decline of the Olympic Games and the World Cup

This paper tracks the growth of two of the largest tourist events: the Olympic Games and the Football World Cup, drawing on a dataset containing all events between 1964 and 2018. Overall, the size of the three events has grown about 60-fold over the past 50 years, thirteen times faster than world GDP. We identify an S-shaped growth curve and four different growth periods, with an emergent crisis phase in the late 2010s that may have brought us to ‘peak event’ – the point at which these events have reached their largest size. Outlining three different scenarios, we argue that the Olympics and the World Cup are at a critical bifurcation point, which also requires new bidding and hosting policies.     

构建超越现代性的中国经济学

西方主流经济学中存在着五种现代性,中国经济学的构建要超越它们:实现后实证主义的科学哲学基础和知识的实践观;超越理论人本主义的主体间性原则;整体有机的世界观和动态演化的分析框架;对现代化范式、后殖民主义和西方中心主义的超越;超越人类中心主义的后现代生态主义.     

风险社会与科学制度

科学制度既具有正功能、显性功能,也具有反功能和隐性功能。科学制度运转失灵的直接后果是导致技术知识成为现代风险社会的主要“制造者”。在现代风险社会中,以往旧的科学制度已经不适合时代发展的要求了,应该通过反思现代性,重建科学制度,以防范社会风险。为了避免制度创新所产生的风险,国际上通行的做法是构建配套的保障制度,努力降低风险因素。     

The New Employment Contract and the “At Risk” Worker

Employees of large blue chip corporations in the 1950s through the mid-1960s demonstrated great loyalty to their employers. In return, those employers provided cradle to grave job security and benefits for their workers. During the 1980s, however, this social contract between employees and employers seems to have undergone a change. The norms of the organization man of the earlier period passed from use and a new normative framework seems to have developed. The norm of loyalty on the part of both parties seems to have passed from practice. Employers would now terminate employees if it was in their short term interest to do so, while employees began to move from company to company, no longer making a career with one employer. Many writers have attributed this new employment relationship to the dynamics of the times, as we move from modern to late modern/early post-modern times. This paper reports the findings of a pilot qualitative study done with graduating seniors from an AACSB accredited business school (n=48). The subjects were asked to write self-reflective essays on the following themes: Given the nature of the new employment contract, are careers a vestige of the past? How do you feel about such concepts as career self reliance and career resiliency? Do you feel “at risk” in the new world of work? If so why, if not why not? If so, how do you plan to deal with it? The paper reports the critical response patterns of these graduating seniors and draws insights and conclusions from the literature illuminating the student reflections.
