    Baudrillard’s Postmodernist Critique of the Society of Technology
    XU Qin;ZENG De-hua
    Journal of Shanghai University (Social Science Edition)    2007, 14 (1): 18-23.  
    Abstract1815)            Save
    As a leading figure in modernism in the world, Baudrillard makes a deep and featured criticizing of the modern society of technology, mainly about following three aspects: the nature of modern technology; the relationship between the society of technology and consumerism; and the nature accomplishment in mass media. The criticizing, in a sense, draws an inspiration from Marxism and inherits the Frankfurt school’s theory of the critique of the society, but basically, it embodies the nature of postmodernism. Therefore, from the views of Marxism, his criticizing of the modern society of technology, although deep and homestricken, has an evident limitation, that is, lacking of the positive, constructive basis, and finally resulting in a mere formality.

    At the present time when the university system in China is growing, it is necessary for people to reconsider the process of evaluating scholarly productivity. The model of the Western university is honored because people believe that it leads to innovation, the creation of value. Therefore a closer understanding of scholarly productions, especially publications of books and journal articles, should be under going. Are there objective methods for the assessment of productivity? How valuable is counting numbers of publications, the simplest, crudest form of measuring productivity? The author urges Chinese scholars to understand that they should depend on close judgment of the content of scholarly work other than simple numbers.

    What Is the Poetry for: Tarkovski’s View on Movies
    HUANG Wen-da
    Journal of Shanghai University (Social Science Edition)    2007, 14 (1): 35-40.  
    Abstract2050)            Save
    Tarkovski’s poetic wisdom differs from ones of prosaic movies or Russian's “poetic films”. This essay, from the view of etymology, sorts out the development of the poetry and points out that poems are both the product of human creativity at the primitive age and the embodiment of his original creativity and imagination. It is on this basis that Tarkovski sets up his view on movies. He considers the poetry as a philosophical guide of life and holds that the production of films should borrow the imagination of the human original life so as to create images of poetic wisdom. His films interact, resonate and deal with the reality of nature and soul, thus creating a new aesthetic experience in the film history.

    The Indigenous Resources in Literary Creation Since the New Period——A Written Discussion

    The spirit of the indigenous culture, at the present time, is often looked upon as the important part of the world literature. There is a complicated relationship between the resources and modernization of indigenous literature. While Su tong’s fiction embodies the possibility of the “south” as the creative resources of the contemporary literature as well as the other aesthetics at the age of globalization and modernization, Lu Wen-fu's unique favor in fiction, by way of the indigenous space of narrow streets and lanes, makes the possibility into the reality, which reaches the integration of the aesthetic expression and the cultural perspective. And Zhang Da-chun’s Violent Group in the City-state, combing the “modern” writing mode with the rich factors of traditional novels, produces more modernity and provides a re-thinking on the relationship between tradition and present-day.

    For the classification of social stratum in today’s China, Marx’s theory of social classes should still be suitable. But Weber’s theory on social stratum provides another viewpoint. The author tries to apply the ownership of rare productive factors to the interpretation of the situation and inter-relation of Chinese classes today. He thinks that, while class polarization or contradiction is not sure to produce class antagonism, class co-operation becomes a reasonable choice.

    Cultural Personality and Literary Quality——Taking Mengzi’ s Prose as the Starting Point

    All the scholars of past dynasties acknowledge the momentum of Mengzi’s prose, which derives mainly from his inner spirit of personality. This personality, in essence, is a divided one, characteristic of tragedy. And there are two main reasons why he has the duality of tragedy in his cultural personality. One is the intellectual defect in his theory about monarch; the other the great difference between his self-position and the actual position of politics and culture. But, fundamentally speaking, not only Mengzi, but also other scholars and writers in the history of Chinese literature, have such split and difference in their inner personality. And this spirit of personality unavoidably reflects on their creation. In a sense, the group feature of Chinese intellectuals in their personality and cultural characters decides the general quality and main feature of the Chinese literary view and creation.

    Abstract2571)            Save
    This essay discusses the relation between philosophical reason and sociological rationality from the three perspectives of etymology, concept development, and concept feature. From etymology, reason is inclined to be a concept of philosophical ontology and epistemology while rationality, in a large degree, belong to a sociological concept that concerns people’s thinking, learning and assessing. And from concept development, both experience five phases: ancient Greece, the ontological reason of medieval times, the epistemological reason of early modern times, the sociological rationality of enlightenment, modern rationality and postmodern rationality. All these five phases display a gradual process from philosophical reason to sociological rationality. And from their respective features, reason emphasizes transcendentalism and absolute generality while rationality emphasizes empiricism and relative generality.

    For the solution of sociological crisis, there are two ways. One is the regeneration and reconstruction within positivism, and the other is the criticizing positivism of comprehensiveness and criticism. While post-positivism accounts for the connection between empirical environment and metaphysical environment, comprehensiveness and criticism make it possible to solve the contradiction between “value free” and “reference to values”. But all of the three isms call for the basis of empirical evidence. Therefore, it is inevitable for sociological methodologies to converge under such a mutually needed relationship.

    In the end of the 1950s and the early 1960s, a great number of newly independent countries entered the United Nations, which made it unserviceable the moratorium of the United States on the Chinese Representation. In this crucial time, the United Kingdom changed its position in the 1961, opposing the moratorium and upholding the admission of China into the UN. This change urged the United States to adjust its policy on the Chinese Representation. The United States had to consult with the United Kingdom to get the necessary cooperation of Britain. By this way, the United Kingdom influenced the policy choice and the decision-makings of the United States, and became one of the important factors that urged America to devise the policy of the “important matter”.

    The concept of intangible cultural heritage is the extension of the concept of cultural heritage to the reach of intangibility. Its international identity has passed through a complex process, in which, the project of the “proclamation of oral and intangible heritage of humanity” plays an essential role. But, at the present time, the lawful foundations on appraisals of the “representatives of oral and intangible heritage of humanity” and the “world heritage” are different, and so is their legal status. Therefore, whether intangible cultural heritage can be listed as a kind of world heritage is still an issue deserving serious consideration.

Therefore, in order to enlarge the supply of policy-related commodity houses and ensure the quality of residential constructions, a series of the design patterns should be considered such as the programming and inducting beforehand, the mutually complementary exploitation, the circulating exploitation, and the feedback adjustment. Furthermore, the author puts forward some related countermeasures and suggestions. All these can provide references for the government to constitute the exploiting policy of policy-related commodity.

    According to Criminal Law, the staffs of state-owned companies or enterprises or business units, being worked as public servants, belong to the legal subjects of bribery. And Articles 165 to 169 stipulate that only these relevant staffs could be criminal subjects. State-owned companies or enterprises should be whole-funded state-owned ones. It is against objective reality for some scholars or judicial persons to look upon state-controlled or state joint-stock companies or enterprises as state-owned ones, even handling cases according to this improper viewpoint. The above-mentioned, in theory, is dangerous, for its blind expanding of the criminal scope without considering the equal rights of the other subjects of market economy, and, in practice, harmful, for having made and being making wrong cases so as not to safeguard effectively the human rights of citizens.
