From Large Industry to Large Models：A Contemporary Interpretation of Marx’s Labor Theory of Value Xu Wen J. East China Norm. Univ. Philos. Soc. Sci    2025, 57 (6): 55-65.   DOI: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5579.2025.06.006 Abstract （1386）   HTML （27）    PDF（pc） （613KB）（839）       Knowledge map    Save Since the technological revolution triggered by ChatGPT in 2022, generative artificial intelligence large models have pushed digital production into a new stage of digital and physical transformation. With its intensity comparable to the machine revolution of the industrial age, this transformation has given rise to AI-capitalism. Taking the dual capital composition of core architecture as fixed capital and dynamic data as circulating capital as their carrier, large models are essentially technological entities of digital materialized labor. This existence is neither an independent value-creating entity nor a technological autonomous entity; rather, it is a tool through which capital realizes its reproduction by reconfiguring the process of digital labor. Digital labor is the main reliance for human-machine interaction, and productive digital labor is the direct source of value creation. The production of large models enhances the capital organic composition. Embedded in the capitalist value reproduction system, this production further expands the source of surplus value. The high value-added of large models is deceptive; the value that seems to be autonomously produced is actually the old value of the core architecture and dynamic data of digital intelligence, as well as the value created by the physical labor of digital intelligence workers through the addition of new value. The source of surplus value has always been the living labor of digital workers, and the core law that “labor is the sole source of value” has not fundamentally changed due to the technological form of large models.

The Quality Integration of Culture and Tourism in the Process of Chinese Modernization：Theoretical Logic，Key Issues and Practical Approaches Xuegang Feng, Jing He J. East China Norm. Univ. Philos. Soc. Sci    2025, 57 (4): 134-146.   DOI: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5579.2025.04.011 Abstract （1272）   HTML （11）    PDF（pc） （1020KB）（7115）       Knowledge map    Save The high-quality integration of culture and tourism is not only a necessary requirement for building China into a country with a strong culture and a strong tourism sector, but also an inherent part of striving to achieve Chinese modernization. It is particularly necessary to discuss the theoretical relationship between the high-quality integration of culture and tourism and the process of Chinese modernization, clarify its scientific connotations, basic characteristics and practical constraints, and build a long-term promotion mechanism. We can see that Chinese modernization and the high-quality integration of culture and tourism mutually support each other in the theoretical framework of “strategic goals, essential connotations, and basic characteristics”. The high-quality integration of culture and tourism in the new era is characterized by supply-demand matching, urban-rural balance, mutual promotion, green efficiency, and openness to the outside world. The main challenges lie in the obstruction of culture and tourism supply-side reform, the imbalance of urban-rural integration of culture and tourism, the shallow integration of cultural and tourism industry, the effective management of cultural and tourism space, and the insufficient international influence of culture and tourism. On this new journey, we must enrich cultural and tourism products, promote balanced urban-rural development of culture and tourism, advance the deep integration of the cultural and tourism system, optimize the functions of cultural and tourism spaces, and enhance the international competitiveness of culture and tourism.

The Theoretical Logic and Empirical Evidence of Bank Digital Transformation Fueling the Ascend of Export Values Yun Zhang, Xia Fang, Zhenyu Yang J. East China Norm. Univ. Philos. Soc. Sci    2025, 57 (6): 145-161.   DOI: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5579.2025.06.013 Abstract （1260）   HTML （2）    PDF（pc） （894KB）（33）       Knowledge map    Save The escalation of export values is a crucial guarantee for China in building a new system of high-level open economy and achieving high-quality development. The digital transformation of the financial sector has emerged as a new driving force for value addition in Chinese enterprises’ exports. By constructing a theoretical model incorporating digitally transformed banking sectors, this study deduces and analyzes the mechanism through which bank digitalization drives the growth of corporate export value, employing matched data from Chinese industrial enterprises and customs trade statistics for empirical testing. The research findings reveal that bank digital transformation effectively stimulates the growth in corporate export values, with underlying technology-driven aspects of digital transformation exhibiting an even stronger propelling effect. Mechanism tests uncover that bank digital transformation fosters a sustained rise in corporate export values by reducing firms’ credit costs and incentivizing technological advancements. Heterogeneity analysis uncovers that the driving effect of bank digital transformation on export values is more pronounced for firms with higher levels of digitalization and intelligence integration, those engaging in general trade, technology-intensive enterprises, and businesses located in regions with higher degrees of market segmentation. Further analysis reveals that bank digital transformation, by boosting export values, facilitates the optimization and upgrading of firms’ positions within the global value chain division of labor. The research findings provide a practical basis and policy implications for promoting the digital transformation of banks, facilitating the high-end upgrading of the export value of high-quality financial services, and achieving high-level opening-up.

The Original Contribution of Chinese Modernization to Marxist Social Development Theory Youfu Jiang J. East China Norm. Univ. Philos. Soc. Sci    2025, 57 (6): 33-41.   DOI: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5579.2025.06.004 Abstract （1221）   HTML （6）    PDF（pc） （571KB）（157）       Knowledge map    Save Theoretical innovations by the Communist Party of China (CPC) have unequivocally established Chinese modernization as a new form of human civilization and proclaimed the theory of Chinese modernization as a major, latest achievement of scientific socialism. However, it is not easy to provide profound and concrete scholarly and intellectual interpretations commensurate with this status. The historical myth of “modernization = Westernization” persists not only unquestioned in the minds of those generally advocating “Westernization”, but also among dogmatic Marxists. Since classical Marxism was essentially developed as a general historical and social development theory centered on the examination of modern Western society, i.e., capitalist society, it has long inclined us theoretically and practically to view capitalist society— a form of modern civilization— as an insurmountable stage in the overall development of human history. Even after embarking on the socialist path, we still felt compelled to undertake a historical “remedial stage” in a specific manner. The key to the success of Chinese modernization lies precisely in its steadfast adherence to the scientific theories and social ideals of Marxism on a social and civilizational foundation entirely distinct from that of the modern West, thereby pioneering and practicing a socialist path with unique civilizational connotations in its own distinct way. This should neither be interpreted as an “error” of classical Marxism nor as China’s “deviation” from classical Marxism due to its specific realities. Instead, it should be profoundly understood as the original contribution of Chinese modernization to classical Marxism. It’s our academic task to re-identify our genuine social foundation and civilizational tradition by deeply comprehending this original contribution.

On the Shaping of Traditional Chinese Science by Confucianism Weiping Chen J. East China Norm. Univ. Philos. Soc. Sci    2025, 57 (6): 1-8.   DOI: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5579.2025.06.001 Abstract （1164）   HTML （13）    PDF（pc） （601KB）（164）       Knowledge map    Save For a long time, it was believed that Confucianism had a negative impact on the development of traditional science in China. Since the reform and opening up, many research results have showed that Confucianism had a positive impact on the development of traditional science. Both of these views have a certain degree of validity and historical basis. Whether positive or negative, these impacts reflect the shaping role of Confucianism in traditional Chinese science. From the following six aspects, that is, values, view of nature, methodology, epistemology, mutual learning and knowledge forms, we can understand how Confucianism shaped traditional science. There are both quintessence worth absorbing and defects that need to be overcome. Reference | Related Articles | Metrics | Comments（0）

Smell and Character：Smoking and the Moral Construction of Masculinity Dunfu Zhang J. East China Norm. Univ. Philos. Soc. Sci    2025, 57 (6): 118-129.   DOI: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5579.2025.06.011 Abstract （1154）   HTML （10）    PDF（pc） （873KB）（82）       Knowledge map    Save Cigarettes are a proper example of expanding the sociological imagination of the smell in masculinity research. Data from semi-structured interviews of Shanghai residents show that the significance and mechanism of cigarettes in shaping men’s masculine traits have declined, while the medical mechanism of health and hygiene has risen and anti-smoking policies have strengthened. The smell of cigarettes has increasingly been regarded as a pungent and harmful odor, and has been despised and isolated in an institutional way. The regulation of smoking among women in romantic relationships, families and intimate partnerships, as well as the rise of the “new good man image”, have led to a negative evolution in the moral construction of men’s smoking. Being clean, fresh and odorless has been endowed with contemporary new values in the new male identity. This transformation not only indicates the dominant force of the healthy moral discourse in the current urban society, but also reveals the new appearance of male identity.

Romanticism or Realism?：On Paterson and Lawson’s Nationalist Implications in Their “Jungle Debate” Jiasheng Zhang J. East China Norm. Univ. Philos. Soc. Sci    2025, 57 (6): 109-117.   DOI: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5579.2025.06.010 Abstract （1151）   HTML （2）    PDF（pc） （721KB）（42）       Knowledge map    Save The prevailing nationalist thoughts in the end of the 19th centuries is the driving force of Australian nationalist literature. As the jungle poets at that time, A. B. Paterson and Henry Lawson created poems around the Australian jungle respectively from romanticism and realism, expressing their construction and imagination of Australian literature. Their distinct jungle landscape writings gave rise to the famous “jungle debate” in the history of Australian literature. Taking this jungle debate as a starting point, one can deeply explore the national (literary) orientation behind the “jungle debate” of Paterson and Lawson in the context of Australian nationalism at the end of the 19th century. The “jungle debate” between Paterson and Lawson not only created a spectacular jungle literary landscape at the end of the 19th century in Australia, but also marked a leap for Australian literature in breaking away from the British colonial literary tradition, making jungle literature a unique genre highlighting the characteristics of Australian national literature.

From Free Trade to Social Revolution：A Critique of Pan-Protectionism in the Context of Marx’s Theory of World History Shun Liu J. East China Norm. Univ. Philos. Soc. Sci    2025, 57 (6): 42-54.   DOI: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5579.2025.06.005 Abstract （1072）   HTML （5）    PDF（pc） （713KB）（138）       Knowledge map    Save In Marx’s era, free trade primarily referred to capitalist free trade. He had already clarified its dual historical role: while serving as the economic medium for the transition to world history, it became distorted and alienated under the capital logic, degenerating into a political weapon and a negative variable in the evolution of world history. Politicized free trade defies market principles, amplifying the spatial expansion of capital power and catalyzing the universalization of class antagonism. This serves as the economic prelude to social revolution. It is through the evolutionary process of expanding from the contest between genuine and pseudo-free trade to social revolution that world history has been gradually cultivated and shaped. Marx’s theory of world history profoundly reveals the logic of this interplay and evolution. Far from being outdated, it has continuously opened new practical domains amid a century of transformation, thereby retaining formidable theoretical vitality and practical guidance.

The Impact of Policy Bank Credit on Total Factor Productivity of Enterprises：Empirical Analysis Mediated by the Development of New Quality Productivity Xinru Wu, Siyan Ai J. East China Norm. Univ. Philos. Soc. Sci    2025, 57 (6): 162-179.   DOI: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5579.2025.06.014 Abstract （988）   HTML （1）    PDF（pc） （930KB）（792）       Knowledge map    Save In the stage of China’s high-quality development, policy banks help cultivate new quality productivity with their institutional advantages. Based on the loan contract data of A-share listed firms from 2012 to 2022, this paper manually constructs firm-level policy bank credit indicators, examines their impact on firms’ total factor productivity, and explores the mechanism path, heterogeneity characteristics and structural allocation effects with the theory of new quality productivity. The study finds that policy bank credit significantly enhances firms’ total factor productivity. The mechanism test shows that this effect is mainly realized through technological innovation, green transformation and human capital structure upgrade, which fits the development path of new quality productivity. Heterogeneity analysis shows more pronounced positive impacts in commercial state-owned firms, technology-intensive private firms, highly competitive industries, and regions with relatively insufficient financial supply. Furthermore, policy banks’ implementation of industrial policy and regional coordination in structural allocation demonstrates stronger TFP promotion effects for firms with composite attributes such as manufacturing, high-tech, and green, and those in central and western regions. Therefore, the positioning of policy-based finance should be improved and its role in structural transformation, efficiency improvement and inclusive financial services should be strengthened.

The Rising Expectation Effect of Public Policy：Poverty Alleviation and Subjective Status Identity Juan Du, Xufeng Zhu J. East China Norm. Univ. Philos. Soc. Sci    2025, 57 (6): 130-144.   DOI: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5579.2025.06.012 Abstract （976）   HTML （2）    PDF（pc） （895KB）（60）       Knowledge map    Save Status identity is the foundation of individuals’ national identity, yet how public policy affects subjective status identity has been largely overlooked. Drawing on social comparison theory from a social cognitive perspective, this paper constructs a theoretical model of “rising expectations— value expectations— value capability” to elucidate the mechanism through which public policy influences subjective status identity. Using data from the China Family Panel Studies, which encompasses over 70,000 nationally representative samples of urban and rural residents from 2012 to 2018, this study finds that poverty alleviation policies have stimulated individuals’ aspirations for self-development, while the gap between these self-expectations and actual capabilities has induced subjective status pressure. Further analysis indicates that poverty alleviation has led to a differentiation in subjective status identity within social groups, with pronounced effects among those with high prior expectations and policy beneficiaries. This study delves into the governance root underpinnings of status identity and sheds light on the impact of macro public policies on micro social cognition of the public.

The Conditional Sovereign Lending Model under Western Dominance：Critique and Reflection Kuang-ran Li, Qiu Zhu J. East China Norm. Univ. Philos. Soc. Sci    2025, 57 (6): 180-195.   DOI: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5579.2025.06.015 Abstract （968）   HTML （2）    PDF（pc） （816KB）（35）       Knowledge map    Save Under the dominance of the United States and other Western countries, the international practice of sovereign lending has long taken the form of conditional sovereign lending— loans tied to reform conditionality— which has operated as a key instrument for exporting Western institutional paradigms and embedding influence in the governance structures of debtor states. Grounded in the Law and Development Movement and neoliberalist theory, this model employs lending conditionality to compel institutional reforms in debtor states, thereby generating in practice a quasi-legal order with externally constraining effect. Long-standing experience, however, shows that conditional sovereign lending has not effectively strengthened debtor states’ debt-servicing capacity; to the contrary, it has deepened structural problems such as institutional dependency, governance weakening, and erosion of sovereignty. Debtor states’ right to development and policy autonomy are subject to structural constraints, and the injustice and imbalance of global debt governance have become increasingly salient. Therefore, it is necessary to build a new model of sovereign lending that is more inclusive and development-oriented. In this regard, China should, consistent with the principles of sovereign equality and developmental autonomy, promote a new paradigm of sovereign lending centered on capacity-building, using soft law as the principal modality and procedural justice as the safeguard; drawing on loan practices that do not attach political conditions, China can offer a more inclusive and sustainable proposal for the reconstruction of international law and contribute Chinese insights and institutional models to global financial governance.

On the Compilation of the Bibliography of Overseas Sinology during the Period of the Republic of China and Its Implications Yuanyuan Wu J. East China Norm. Univ. Philos. Soc. Sci    2025, 57 (6): 66-79.   DOI: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5579.2025.06.007 Abstract （963）   HTML （5）    PDF（pc） （845KB）（1011）       Knowledge map    Save Since the first half of the 20th century, the academic community of the Republic of China had compiled the bibliography of overseas sinology under the dual circumstances of national crisis and academic transformation. In the period of the Republic of China, Chinese scholars compiled and published 50 bibliographies of overseas sinology and translated 13 bibliographies of overseas sinology compiled by foreign scholars. A careful reading of these bibliographies will find that there were three aspects worth paying attention to: firstly, the compilers or translators were scholars from different research fields; secondly, the compiled bibliographies focused on studies related to transportation between China and foreign countries, as well as research on China’s borderlands; thirdly, Japanese writings of sinology made up the majority of them. This kind of compilation was caused by the inherent needs of academic development on the one hand, and the cultural sovereignty struggle and the national salvation mission of the times— “competing with outsiders” and “saving the country through scholarship”— on the other. Today, the construction of a systematic catalog of world Chinese studies serves as the foundation for a comprehensive understanding of Chinese studies abroad, as well as an important pathway to present “academic China” to the world. This is also an important step to bring the “Sinology Center” back to China and establish a self-reliant knowledge system in China.

On the Emotionality，Temporality and Generativity of “Music” Long Wu J. East China Norm. Univ. Philos. Soc. Sci    2025, 57 (6): 23-32.   DOI: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5579.2025.06.003 Abstract （935）   HTML （9）    PDF（pc） （608KB）（125）       Knowledge map    Save The emotionality of music is first expressed as the individual pleasant emotional experience caused by music, which is an inevitable emotional demand of a listener. The emotions associated with music should not be excessive, so they should be balanced and corrected by rites. In this way, individuals can not only achieve themselves in the emotionality of music, but also live in harmony with others by understanding and satisfying others’ emotions. Music has temporality. Music can achieve its continuous and ceaseless state in time and contain the time sequence of heaven and earth. In the process of imitating the laws of four seasons and day and night, it will be continuous and self-renewal like time so as to adapt to the needs of different times and the flexibility and implementation of rites in different situations. With the communication between the way of heaven and the way of humans and the communication between metaphysical and physics, music can maintain itself between heaven and earth, and closely connect with the genuine and ever-flowing life of an individual. This constitutes the generativity of music. Rooted in the ever-flowing life and related to the cultivation and perfection of virtue, the generativity of music not only gives an individual endless power, but also fills the music with a vibrant vitality. In such music, individuals constantly draw energy, becoming affectionate, righteous and enriched. Reference | Related Articles | Metrics | Comments（0）

From Jin Yuelin to Feng Qi：The Inheritance and Advancement of Philosophical Thinking Guorong Yang J. East China Norm. Univ. Philos. Soc. Sci    2025, 57 (5): 1-10.   DOI: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5579.2025.05.001 Abstract （868）   HTML （8）    PDF（pc） （576KB）（121）       Knowledge map    Save Jin Yuelin and Feng Qi are important representatives of modern Chinese philosophy. The transition from Jin Yuelin to Feng Qi not only reflects the evolution of modern Chinese philosophy but also forms a significant academic lineage. Feng Qi, who was once a student of Jin Yuelin, reflected on Jin’s philosophy in a series of lectures in his later years. Jin Yuelin examines sensory experience and proposes that “the given is the objective presence”, affirming the reliability of sensory experience. By linking the given in the realm of sensibility with the process of practice, Feng Qi provides a more realistic foundation for the theory of the “given”. On the issue of concept, while Jin Yuelin argues that a concept has dual functions of description and prescription, Feng Qi elaborates on this from the perspective of dialectical thinking. As for induction, Jin Yuelin regards objective order as the intrinsic basis for moving from the particular to the universal, thus providing an ontological foundation for induction. Feng Qi further explores the dialectical process of induction, including the unity of analysis with synthesis and that of induction with deduction. As for the process of knowing, Feng Qi introduces the issues of questions, opinions, and viewpoints into epistemology, both elaborating on Jin’s theory and presenting new epistemological insights. He also connects the realms of the effable and the ineffable on the one hand with the relation between knowledge and wisdom on the other, arguing that the transformation from the effable to the ineffable is concretely manifested as a leap from knowledge to wisdom. In metaphysics, Feng Qi analyzes the formalist tendency in Jin’s A Treatise on Dao and develops Jin’s theory of the original into a theory of the four worlds, i.e., the original world, the world of facts, the world of possibilities and the world of values, which contains both theoretical insights and issues for further discussion.

The Definitions of “Grammar” in the West from Ancient Greece to the Late 19th Century Baojia Li J. East China Norm. Univ. Philos. Soc. Sci    2025, 57 (6): 80-97.   DOI: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5579.2025.06.008 Abstract （858）   HTML （2）    PDF（pc） （865KB）（789）       Knowledge map    Save This article searches for ancient documentary evidence to trace the historical definitions of the dynamic Western concept of “Grammar”. In general, Grammar has gone through four stages: the grammatical arts of typical languages in the ancient Greco-Roman period; the science of discourse (including speculative grammar, universal grammar, and comparative grammar) from the late Middle Ages to the 17th–18th centuries; the emergence of national grammars in the late 15th century and the return to the pedagogical grammar of individual languages from the 18th to the 19th centuries; and the shift toward a combination of descriptive grammar and explanatory grammar in the late 19th century. This reflects a cycle in the academic history: from the particular to the general, from the general back to the particular, and then to the combination of the particular and the general. In terms of scope, grammar has undergone a contraction or focusing— from multiple modules to four, then three, and finally two modules— with rhetoric, semantics, lexicology, phonetics, and other components being separated one after another. In essence, applied arts and basic principles have always been the two core tasks of grammar, and language research represents the integration of humanistic and scientific spirits.

The Historical Development of Predictive Processing Theory Rui Wu, Hengwei Li J. East China Norm. Univ. Philos. Soc. Sci    2025, 57 (4): 36-47.   DOI: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5579.2025.04.003 Abstract （856）   HTML （31）    PDF（pc） （1067KB）（2808）       Knowledge map    Save Emerging as a powerful research paradigm with broad inclusiveness in cognitive science in recent years, the predictive processing theory has garnered significant attention. Leading figures in the field anticipate that it will “offer the promise of providing a unified framework for the study of the human mind.” The development of the predictive processing theory can be divided into two major stages, i.e., philosophy and natural science. In the philosophical stage, its historical roots primarily include Kant’s transcendental philosophy and Helmholtz’s unconscious inference. In the natural science stage, it has gradually developed and improved through theories such as predictive coding in information transmission, Bayesian brain, Helmholtz algorithm in deep learning, predictive coding in visual computing, and free energy principle. This historical analysis helps to clarify the key characteristics of the developmental stages of the predictive processing theory and the intrinsic connections between related concepts.

The Impact and Mechanism of Cultural and Tourism Consumption Promotion Policy under the Background of the Integration of Culture and Tourism：Empirical Evidence from Pilot Demonstration Cities Qiuyang Yu, Xinzhou Liu J. East China Norm. Univ. Philos. Soc. Sci    2025, 57 (4): 162-175.   DOI: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5579.2025.04.013 Abstract （843）   HTML （20）    PDF（pc） （938KB）（3700）       Knowledge map    Save In the process of deepening Chinese modernization and the integration of culture and tourism, promoting high-quality integration of culture and tourism at the consumption level will not only enrich the integration of culture and tourism, but also effectively boost consumption and expand domestic demand. In the practice of integrating culture and tourism, it is particularly crucial to leverage the leading role of pilot demonstration cities for cultural and tourism consumption. Based on this, this policy is regarded as a quasi-natural experiment, and a multi period double difference model is constructed with panel data of listed cultural and tourism enterprises nationwide from 2013 to 2023. It can be confirmed that this policy can significantly improve the total factor productivity of regional enterprises of culture and tourism. As far as alleviating financing constraints and promoting R&D innovation are concerned, this policy has a more significant effect on improving the total factor productivity of enterprises by alleviating financing constraints. Further heterogeneity analysis reveals that at the enterprise level, this policy has a more significant impact on small and non-state-owned cultural and tourism enterprises; at the regional level, it has a better promoting effect on non-first-tier cities and areas with low levels of financial development. The above findings or conclusions expand the research on the micro effects and impact mechanisms of the policy, and provide targeted suggestions for policy optimization and the expansion of cultural and tourism consumption in the medium and long term.

A Restudy of the American Quarterly Comparative Literature and the Franco-American Debate Dingwen Wei J. East China Norm. Univ. Philos. Soc. Sci    2025, 57 (6): 98-108.   DOI: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5579.2025.06.009 Abstract （838）   HTML （3）    PDF（pc） （719KB）（569）       Knowledge map    Save The Franco-American debate in comparative literature is well-known in academic circles. However, the historiography of this debate is largely focused on the differences in academic ideas rather than on the paradigmatic shift. This Franco-American debate should be reexamined as an event in the intellectual history. Behind the academic debate lies an endeavor of American scholars of comparative literature after World War II to construct the subjectivity of the discipline by advocating oneness via literary arts. A few elders who dominated the construction of the American comparative literature after World War II founded the quarterly Comparative Literature, using the journal to promote the transformation and renewal of two paradigms. The ideological differences between the editor Wellek and the deputy editor Friedrich were an important element which intensifies the Franco-American debate. The construction of the subjectivity of the American comparative literature was driven not only by academic autonomy but also by ideological considerations. After World War II, American scholars of comparative literature advocated pursuing the ideal of a cultural community by studying the “literariness” and aesthetic value of literary texts in different languages, which was actually a self-confirmation of Western centrism. From the perspective of knowledge-power, this event in the disciplinary and intellectual history can be reexamined to reveal the significant role played by the editorial team of Comparative Literature in this knowledge transformation.

New Historical Materials and New Perspectives of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression Studies (Symposium) Jun Qu, Faqin Lin, Mo Chen, Minling Liang, Songjie Zhao, Chunmei Zuo, Pan Jia J. East China Norm. Univ. Philos. Soc. Sci    2025, 57 (4): 1-26.   DOI: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5579.2025.04.001 Abstract （834）   HTML （26）    PDF（pc） （988KB）（3162）       Knowledge map    Save The studies of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression have achieved a multi-dimensional breakthrough in the exploration of historical materials and the innovation of perspectives. In terms of historical materials, the re-examination of folk oral history, video records, transnational declassified files, and “familiar materials” such as officers’ diaries, newspapers and periodicals, is pushing the research towards multi-source mutual evidence. From the research perspective, the studies of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression have also turned from a single military and political narrative to the organic integration of regional, transnational, socio-economic and cultural dimensions, highlighting the national character and world significance of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and profoundly revealing the deep interaction mechanism between war and society. War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression is not only a battle for national survival, but also provides a key fulcrum for the revival of the popularization of national concepts and the continuous inheritance of Chinese civilization. Only by integrating multi-source historical materials and multi-disciplinary perspectives can we reach the deep texture of the history of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression.

Capitalism’s New Evolution in the Era of AGI and the Strategic Choice of Chinese Modernization Nanping Yu, Peng Zhang J. East China Norm. Univ. Philos. Soc. Sci    2025, 57 (4): 48-59.   DOI: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5579.2025.04.004 Abstract （831）   HTML （6）    PDF（pc） （685KB）（1080）       Knowledge map    Save The breakthrough in both open-source and closed-source large models of AGI marks the advent of the AGI era for human society. The rapid advancement of AI technologies is profoundly reshaping capitalist societies primarily in three dimensions of productive forces: the transformation of the means of labor from specific tools to generalized production systems, the shift of labor objects from tangible natural resources to intangible data resources, and the evolution of laborers into human-machine collaborators. A critical examination of these new dynamics reveals that the development and deployment of AGI under capitalist systems significantly intensifies data monopolization of the means of production, exacerbates structural imbalances in distribution relations, and deepens the alienation of consumption relations. These transformations are fostering a new power structure in capitalist societies, giving rise to a novel form of “technological capitalism” driven by technology and data. Exemplified by DeepSeek, the successful development of indigenous open-source AGI models in China demonstrates China’s distinctive advantages in advancing AGI and provides a new path for the development of AGI in China and offers a Chinese-style modernization path option for promoting global AI governance.
