Sensory indiscipline and affect: a study of commuter cycling

The senses act as the interface between self and environment, but in a western context powerful multisensory stimulation is increasingly constructed as marginal, deviant or in need of management/commodification. This paper brings together work on the sensory with ideas around affective intensity to explore the regulation of the individual through the senses. The notion of sensory discipline is developed through an examination of everyday commuter cycling. Based on innovative, mobile audio diaries, the intensities of sensory stimulation for the cycling body are explored. The paper concludes that commuter cycling enacts a minor resistance towards efforts to reduce the intensities of everyday affective landscapes. In turn, this resistance suggests just how pervasive sensory discipline has now become.     

DISCIPLINE,PHILOSOPHY, AND HISTORY

Gorman proposes to investigate historical practice under the rubric of a philosophy of disciplines. Such philosophy must first “recover historically” the self‐constitution of the discipline in order then to appraise its procedures for warranting claims. Gorman's concept of discipline would have profited from consulting the substantial body of empirical research and theory regarding disciplinarity, and his “historical recovery” of the discipline of history leaves a lot to be desired. These insufficiencies vitiate the interesting arguments he has to offer concerning the question of the truth‐claims of whole historical accounts. A better reconstruction of disciplinarity might also have provided him with stronger rejoinders to the postmodern challenge to historical practice that he sees himself called to rebut.

法律规制网络匿名表达的基本原则

网络匿名表达需要法律规制,而法律在对网络匿名表达进行规制时,应当遵循社会公共利益原则,限制网络匿名表达权要严格遵守既定程序的原则,政府要制定必要的救助原则,以防止行政权力对网络匿名表达限制过度。     

两德经济发展的成败摭议

东德是由于经济的失败才最终不得不自愿被西德接管,这个失败虽然系多种因素导致,但根本还在于经济体制。可是,计划体制本身还不是最终根源所在,问题的关键在于脱离经济规律地计划和将经济问题政治化。西德市场经济体制中也有不少计划经济的成分,但由于按照经济规律办事,没有过度将经济问题政治化,因而表现出坚强的生命力。     

Anglo-American followers or Antipodean iconoclasts? The 2008 TRIP survey of international relations in Australia and New Zealand

This article examines the results of the world's largest ever survey of international relations (IR) scholars with an eye to establishing the particularities of the discipline in Australia and New Zealand. The survey covered the areas of teaching, research, the structure of the profession and scholars’ views on foreign policy. From these results, this paper compares IR in New Zealand and Australia, and discusses the extent to which the discipline in these two countries is distinctive from its overseas counterparts, especially in the United States and the United Kingdom. The particular areas of focus include the degree to which the field in Australasia conforms to or differs from US or Commonwealth identities; epistemological and gender divides; the distinctive foci of what IR scholars in both countries teach and research; which publications are favoured and disfavoured; and the contrasting linkages between academia and the world of government and policy. We conclude with some suggestions about how the field in both countries might be improved.

关于我国博物馆学研究及其学科建设的思考

博物馆学是一门研究和指导博物馆事业发展与博物馆实践的学科。博物馆学学科的进步有赖于博物馆实践的发展和博物馆学研究的进步。为了提高我国博物馆学研究的水平和促进我国博物馆学科的进步,我国博物馆学研究必须理论联系实际,重视对我国博物馆事业发展与博物馆实践中出现的新情况和新问题的研究。这不仅是我国博物馆学研究的使命和任务,也是我国博物馆学得以保持生命力以及促进我国博物馆学学科进步的关键所在。     

中国书画鉴定学学科思考

中国书画鉴定自魏晋至当代,已走过1000多年历程。古代书画鉴定家的鉴定思想与今天中国书画鉴定家的鉴定思想之间,是一种互为衔接、承上启下的关系。但对中国书画鉴定方法论的研究,不是今天中国书画鉴定学的本体确立。作为一门学科,在理论形态上应该有自己的规范性,它所涉及到的基本要领、范畴应有明确的界定,它的基本原理应当有深入系统的阐述。作为一门应用理论性学科,书画鉴定的理论与方法,要具体地应用于书画鉴定实践。它的理论,应该具有很强的可操作性,切实管用是衡量其理论价值的主要标尺。
