Social reproduction and education policy     

Jack Demaine 《International Studies in Sociology of Education》2013,23(2):125-140

The last half-century of sociology of education is littered with the debris of functionalist theories about social reproduction, inequality and class. This article discusses 'progressive 'and 'conservative 'readings of arguments about social reproduction and explores the consequences for the sociology and the politics of education with reference to supposed 'influence ' and 'audience'. New Labour's embrace of the school effectiveness/improvement movement and the introduction of the Sure Start programme illustrate that while 'social reproduction' is still a concern for sociologists of education, policy-makers have more 'practical' concerns.  相似文献   

American Commentaries     

《Cultural and Social History》2013,10(4):461-479

ABSTRACT

Despite widespread assertions as to the ‘Americanization’ of British culture in the first half of the twentieth century, the true extent of this cultural transfer remains open to question. This article considers what the British people actually knew about ‘America’, its institutions, culture and way of life, in this period through an analysis of coverage of the USA in the British news media (press, newsreels and wireless) in the inter-war years. Specific attention is paid to the attempts of the BBC – in particular through the broadcasting work of Raymond Gram Swing and Alistair Cooke – to provide an understanding of contemporary America beyond the widely cited stereotypes of ‘Chicago gangsters and Hollywood blondes'.  相似文献   

追问与省思：面子心理导向下的中国武术发展研究     

陈连朋  王岗 《北京体育大学学报》2017,40(11):117-123

摘要：国民文化心态综合体现着中华文明的印记与传统文化的培塑，是一种对自己本民族文化与价值观念所持有的总体态度，容易受到社会心理导向的干预，进而对国民文化认知产生影响。主要运用文献资料法，从家族面子与武术的“入奥”追求，他人面子与武术“能打”的证明以及自我面子与武术的“优越”情结3个层面，探讨了当前中国武术的发展问题。研究认为：不可兼容的中西文化差异，特殊的国民文化心态以及不全面的武术本土化认知，导致中国武术在对“自我认知”与“他者认知”的时候出现误区。在此基础上，提出：要实现中国武术的体面发展应该坚守文化自觉的主张，加快武术现代化转型；树立文化自信的观念，摆正武术的文化姿态；培育自尊自强的国民心态，确保武术的理性发展。惟其如此，才能从更全面、更客观的视角看待武术、发展武术。  相似文献   

Transformation and job creation in the cultural and creative industries in South Africa     

Jen Snowball  Alan Collins  Delon Tarentaal 《Cultural Trends》2017,26(4):295-309

The cultural and creative industries (CCIs) have been hailed as offering great potential to create jobs and to be socially inclusive. Since artistic success is defined by individual talent, or merit, the CCIs should be one sector that is especially open to, and appreciative of, social diversity in terms of race, class, cultural group and gender. However, as expected, recent studies in both the UK and the US have revealed that employment in the CCIs is heavily dominated by the middle classes, and is not as diverse in terms of other characteristics. Since the advent of democracy in South Africa in 1994, transformation of firm ownership, previously dominated by white people, to include more black, coloured and Indian/Asian-origin South Africans, has been an important part of achieving greater economic equality and social cohesion, as well as being more representative of the cultures of the majority of the population. Using data from a survey of 2400 CCIs firms in South Africa, this paper examines the extent to which the CCIs in South Africa have transformed in terms of ownership and employment. Comparisons are also made across the six UNESCO [(2009). Framework for cultural statistics. UNESCO Institute for Statistics. Retrieved from http://www.uis.unesco.org/culture/Pages/framework-cultural-statistics.aspx] “Cultural Domains” in terms of ownership, average monthly turnover and the number of full-time, part-time and contract employees. Results show some diversity in the industry, but significant differences between the Domains. Statistical analysis demonstrates that CCI funding policy in South Africa is sensitive to advancing the transformation agenda in that more transformed firms were shown to be more likely to have received some form of government grant as part of their income.  相似文献   

The 'new' politics of education in Britain's changing times     

Jack Demaine 《International Studies in Sociology of Education》2013,23(2):115-128

The British Labour Party has continued to make progress on education, following two broad policy paths and adopting a pragmatic approach that does not attempt to force these to cross or converge. One path is that of the quasi market inherited from the previous Conservative administration; the other is characterised as 'intervention' to support those for whom the market remains almost entirely irrelevant. Some observers regard this dual approach as 'opportunism' and Labour's education policy as a 'betrayal' of principle, by which is meant the principle of 'equal opportunity'. Of course, that principle provides equal opportunity to fail as much as to succeed. Rather than leaving education to the market, Labour has focused on the needs of those most likely to be failed by the principle of 'equal' opportunity in a quasi market.  相似文献

论文学翻译加注     

闫瑞娟 《牡丹江教育学院学报》2010,(6):47-48

随着文化翻译论的兴起,翻译加注的处理方式日益为人推崇。勿庸置疑,对于文化交流而言,翻译加注是一种重要的手段。然而该手段并非没有局限性,而且文学翻译并不是非要处处体现文化,多数情况下,信息传递重于文化传播。因此加注要客观合理,不为加注而加注。结合翻译理论与实践,本文提出了＂尽可能不加注＂的观点。  相似文献   

Performing Bandung: China’s dance diplomacy with India,Indonesia, and Burma, 1953–1962     

Emily Wilcox 《Inter-Asia Cultural Studies》2017,18(4):518-539

While dance was a common element of international diplomacy activities around the world during the 1950s and early 1960s, scholars have only recently begun to focus attention on this topic, especially as it concerns relationships forged beyond those of the Cold War superpowers. Using previously unexamined historical materials such as rare photographs and performance programs, dancer biographies, autobiographies and personal interviews, unpublished institutional histories, and contemporary periodicals, this article demonstrates not only that dance was an integral part of China’s inter-Asian cultural exchange between 1953 and 1962, but also that the PRC developed a distinct approach to dance diplomacy. Through a series of exchanges with India, Indonesia and Burma, China’s foreign ministers and dancers developed and refined a method of dance diplomacy in which the primary goal was to learn from, rather than export to, these neighboring countries. This approach harnessed the affective power of embodied aesthetic culture to literally “perform” Bandung ideals, namely, cooperation and mutual respect among Asian nations and an anti-imperialist cultural stance. Through the establishment in 1962 of the Oriental Song and Dance Ensemble, the PRC institutionalized this model of dance diplomacy, expanding it to include the entire Third World. Bandung-era dance diplomacy initiatives of the 1950s and early 1960s not only supported important new international alliances and political movements, but also asserted China’s self-identity as part of the East in the way that challenged Eurocentric ideals previously entrenched in China’s domestic dance field.  相似文献

后现代社会武术形象定位及价值实现     

李源  梁勤超  王洪珅 《武汉体育学院学报》2017,51(10):63-67

研究认为，在以知识化和信息化为特征的后现代社会，武术的发展需要充分契合时代需求。一方面要明确其形象定位，强调回归自然的生态人文关怀，凸显生存智慧的人类追求，彰显艺术的审美体验；另一方面，需要通过武术"天人合一"的理念化解"人高于自然"的矛盾，以智慧武术的"人生追求"消解人们"精神生存困境"，用艺术武术的"审美体验"平和"功利精神心态"，让后现代社会人们的"贵身"追求与武术"武以成人"价值理念相契合。  相似文献
