稻盛经营的日本特色

民族文化是企业文化的背景。稻盛和夫的经营哲学具有明显的日本特色：讲求实用主义,提倡和魂洋才。这都是和日本人的民族心理相关联的。和魂洋才的思想虽然有一定的积极作用,但在全球化时代也有妨碍经济文化交流的一面,不应该过分提倡。     

当代海外华人的双重文化认同特征探析 ——以美国华人为例

论文以田野调查资料为个案分析,结合相关的理论解读,探析了当代海外华人双重文化认同的基本特征。研究显示,海外华人的双重文化认同是兼具工具性和选择性,且具有复杂多元的个体差异性的“购物车”式混杂型认同。美国华人的双重文化认同主要呈现混杂型特征,而“情境性”的交替型特征并不明显;其“购物车”式文化认同的工具性和选择性体现在语言的使用和偏好、宗教活动和价值观取舍等多个方面;其个体差异性不仅体现在不同群体和代际之间,在同一群体内部也同样复杂多元,这是家庭环境、成长经历和个人性格等微观因素建构的结果。     

Political pragmatism and the creative economy: Singapore as a City for the Arts

Can the arts and culture prosper under a less than democratic political regime? This paper looks at the soft authoritarian Singaporean government and the making of Singapore into a ‘City for the Arts’. Many scholars advocate that a culturally vibrant and creative city must also celebrate diversity, tolerance and experimentation. This implies that a democratic space is needed for creative energies to flow. Singapore is not known for its democracy. But Singapore has become relatively successful in being the cultural hub in the region. A more liberal approach to diversity and criticism of the authorities can now be observed but there are still many strong‐handed social and political controls in the city‐state. This paper tries to answer these two questions: has Singapore become democratic because the authorities want the arts and culture to flourish? Is democracy necessary for the creation of a lively cultural city?
