A Brief Study on the Creation of Russian Literature during the Transitive Period Jian-hua CHEN 2003, 35 (3):  68-74.  doi: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5579.2003.03.012 Abstract ( 0 )   HTML ( 0 )   PDF (1044KB) ( 0 )   Save The social and cultural transition of Russia deeply influenced the development process of Russian literature. Controversies within the Russian literary circles were quite keen in the early 1990' s. The social transition polarized the team of pure literature, and produced a decline in literary creation. Meanwhile, the impact from popular literature upon pure literature became more apparent day by day. After the mid - 1990' s the literary arena quieted down. The new Russian literature during the transitive period presents a vision that differs from the whole 20th - century literature. Many literary works attract the readers with their striking features of the time and their thrilling questioning, seeking and thinking. The artistic charm of literature still exists.

The Aunt' s Story: A Tragedy of Human Existence in Modern Society Bao-kang WU 2003, 35 (3):  75-81.  doi: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5579.2003.03.013 Abstract ( 0 )   HTML ( 0 )   PDF (896KB) ( 0 )   Save The Aunt' s Story, contrary to what some critics think, is not a modem comedy since it describes the life of an ordinary woman with a profound tragic significance. From the perspectives of the heroine' s crisis of identity with social reality, her spiritual plight in search for true ego, and an inherent crisis of human existence, Patrick White presents Theodora' s knowingly effort of a hopeless resistance against the denial of individuality from society for the sake of defending both individual value and human dignity which ultimately result in a tragedy of existence.

The Rise and Influence of Post-Modern Sociology Jun WEN 2003, 35 (3):  82-87.  doi: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5579.2003.03.014 Abstract ( 0 )   HTML ( 0 )   PDF (1096KB) ( 0 )   Save The post - modern ideas first appeared in arts and architecture, and then spread to the study of popular culture and developed most fully in philosophy. However, they are now becoming increasingly influential in social sciences, especially in sociology. The post - modern sociology argues that sociologists have to recognize diversities of the social world and develop fresh concepts and a new theoretical framework to grasp the essence of the new age, if it wants to understand the historical transformation brought about by post - modernity and to offer theoretical explanations of this new age. It attempts to attack and subvert the modern sociological system from a critical point of view, raises some important questions, and requires a reexamination of some key ideas. It reminds us that there is no right way of thinking about human societies. The diverse nature of social life and the precarious authority of sociological knowledge mean that sociologists can never be certain about any aspect of social life.

An International Comparative Study of Financial Regulation and Supervision Models Tong-hua SU 2003, 35 (3):  96-101.  doi: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5579.2003.03.016 Abstract ( 0 )   HTML ( 0 )   PDF (894KB) ( 0 )   Save The combinations of different organizers and objects of financial regulation and supervision may constitute different models of financial regulation and supervision. Through a comparative study of different subject models and organization models of financial regulation and supervision, this paper argues that our country should gradually establish a specialized and functional model of financial regulation and supervision on the basis of a union of centralization and decentralization.

Management Buyout of Division: A Realistic Choice to Promote the MBO Xue-jun FAN 2003, 35 (3):  107-112.  doi: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5579.2003.03.018 Abstract ( 0 )   HTML ( 0 )   PDF (814KB) ( 0 )   Save Presently the management buyout (MBO), which is regarded as an effective means to resolve incentive aspects in state- owned enterprises, has been put into practice in some listed companies. However, the so-called MBOs in our country are actually different from those in Western countries. Although this kind of MBOs in our country can settle management incentive, it is unable to resolve management discipline, and therefore has resulted in inside deals between some listed companies and institutions and in some acts contrary to rules and regulations. Even though many things account for the situation, the difficulty of financing MBOs under our recent financial system is one of the important reasons. According to our present financial conditions, it might be a realistic choice to promote the MBO of division partaken by some specialized buyout institutions. References | Related Articles | Metrics

The Passion and the Soil——A Context Analysis of Contemporary China' s Social Trend of Thoughts Rui-quan GAO 2003, 35 (3):  1-6.  doi: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5579.2003.03.001 Abstract ( 1453 )   HTML ( 0 )   PDF (856KB) ( 19 )   Save Since the "new period" there have emerged many social ideological trends in China; so far as their major backgrounds are concerned, however, there are two trends, namely, radicalism and conservatism. The former was the mainstream of the 1980' s trend of thoughts and the latter the essential context of the 1990' s trend of thoughts. The shift from radicalism to conservatism had not only a developmental train of thoughts themselves but also realistic causes; therefore, they both had their own historical grounds. An examination of the interaction between history of ideas and history of society will help to understand social ideological trends and their future tendencies.

The Awakening of Subject and the Rise of Consciousness of Individual Rights——A Discourse on Studies of the Current Trend of Thoughts Xiu-yi ZHAO 2003, 35 (3):  7-12.  doi: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5579.2003.03.002 Abstract ( 1393 )   HTML ( 0 )   PDF (844KB) ( 30 )   Save In the perspective of intellectual history, the evolution of ideas in Chinese society in the last two decades in the 20th century can be roughly characterized as a process of the awakening of subject and rise of consciousness of individual rights. In the 1980' s the central theme of "subjectivity" ran through the following major intellectual events: the discussion on philosophy of life was once again legalized, the conception of "value" was widespread, the expression of "value" became a part of ordinary language of the public, and the issue of "man" was heatedly debated among philosophers and those debates were finally crystallized in the philosophy of subjectivity. The 1990s witnessed a shift of emphasis and interest of the Chinese intellectual circles. More attention was paid to economic affairs. With the implementation of market economy, people' s economic motives were recognized as legal, and concepts such as "autonomy", "competition" and "success" prevailed. Consequently, the questions of right and justice were put on the agenda for discussion. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Chinese Literary Ideological Trends in the Past Twenty Years Yang YANG 2003, 35 (3):  13-18, 32.  doi: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5579.2003.03.003 Abstract ( 1014 )   HTML ( 0 )   PDF (1022KB) ( 47 )   Save The Chinese literary trends in the recent two decades were not only historical witnesses of social life, but also represented writers' imaginations and feelings towards life by means of literature. The twenty - year literature went through a continuously evolutionary process. In it there emerged two contrasting periods-the "new - epoch" literature and the 1990' s literature, owing to changes of social and literary formations. During the former period humanist literature constituted a major trend, and during the latter the popular trend of literature became prevalent under the influence of commodity economy.

The Overturning and the Questioning——The Ethical Trend of Thoughts in the 1980' s Yi-ming CUI 2003, 35 (3):  19-24.  doi: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5579.2003.03.004 Abstract ( 1255 )   HTML ( 0 )   PDF (833KB) ( 20 )   Save The undulated Chinese ethical trend of thoughts in the 1980' s might be generalized as "overturning and questioning". From the "Pan Xiao Discussion" and the "Zhang Hua Discussion" to the "Shekou Trouble", all these three heated discussions around the issue of life value, though different themes and ideological colors, resulted in young people' s spontaneous doubting, questioning and thinking. One the one hand they were imbued with striking ideal colors, and one the other they expressed some strong intellectual perplexities and initial rational consciousness. Through these three discussions, the idea was generally accepted that moral evaluation should be further measured from an angle of objective results, and the idea struck root in the hearts of the people that people should heighten their own values of existence as possible as they can. Both the 1986' s discussion about moral subjectivity and the discussion on utilitarianism from 1988 onwards tried to answered those questions of the time on the basis of ancient and present, and Chinese and foreign intellectual heritages. Their historical contribution chiefly lay in a continuous and rational questioning of time issues. References | Related Articles | Metrics

The Rise and Change of Contemporary China' s Political Thoughts Jian-jun LIU 2003, 35 (3):  25-32.  doi: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5579.2003.03.005 Abstract ( 1185 )   HTML ( 0 )   PDF (1022KB) ( 24 )   Save Political thoughts tend to embody people' s reflections on their political life. The political thoughts in current China are the results of its reform and opening - up policy, which is releasing China from the influence of some out - of - date doctrines and helping it break through the ideologically socialist camp to enter a broader international arena. The increase of its internationalization leads to a series of political and cultural reactions, the most prominent symbol of which is the ups and downs of its current political thoughts. Before the 1990' s what hid behind the trend of political thought was the polarized opposition of cultural power and state power. As a result, the political thoughts went through a dramatic rise or fall. After that the market-oriented reform set a solid secular foundation for the course of China' s modernization. The secular power gradually neutralized the conflicts between cultural power and state power. Thus, the coexistence of various political thoughts took the place of the polarized opposition.

The History and Reality of the French Ultra-Right Political Force Zhong-yuan JIN 2003, 35 (3):  33-38.  doi: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5579.2003.03.006 Abstract ( 1294 )   HTML ( 0 )   PDF (945KB) ( 25 )   Save The left and right wings in the French political circles originated in the 1789 Revolution. The traditional right force represented the main trend in the modern French political development. From the 19th century on, the ultra-right political force came into being. It was characterized by extreme nationalism and opposition to parliament democracy. The current ultra-right force represented by the "National Front" led by Le Pan has acquired a certain social supporting rate by means of whipping up anti -immigrant sentiments and taking advantage of the decline of traditional left and right forces. However, the basic structure of French political forces cannot be changed. References | Related Articles | Metrics

A Reconsideration of the Social Function of New Historiography Guo-yi WU 2003, 35 (3):  39-47.  doi: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5579.2003.03.007 Abstract ( 949 )   HTML ( 0 )   PDF (1182KB) ( 14 )   Save In the ideological trend of new historiography beginning from the early 20th century, both the reformists and the revolutionaries laid extreme emphasis on the social role of history. However, few studies have reflections on their deficiencies in the theory itself, and people often substitute politics and utility for authenticity and scholastic studies, thus leading to a tendency to seek for quick success and instant benefits and to vulgarize academic researches. This deflection has its own historical reasons, and is also a consequence of the long - established mode of thinking which insists that politics is the first criterion for evaluation.

Cohen' s Conception of History of China and Its Historiographical Features Jun-jing CHEN 2003, 35 (3):  48-53.  doi: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5579.2003.03.009 Abstract ( 1190 )   HTML ( 0 )   PDF (840KB) ( 19 )   Save P. A. Cohen' s early conception of history of China was influenced by the polarized opposite theory of "tradition verse modernity". Later, he tried to go beyond the limitation of this theory by his " China - centered approach", and further negated the research model in which the development level of Chinese society was measured by the standard of Western "modernity". Cohen, however, failed to grasp the contradictory relationship between tradition and modernity scientifically, and his ideas of history had a quite clear relativist tendency.

The Thrifty Ethics and the Development of East Asia——The Relationship between the Confucian Doctrine of Capitalism and Max Weber' s Theory Yi-guo ZHANG 2003, 35 (3):  54-59.  doi: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5579.2003.03.010 Abstract ( 1560 )   HTML ( 0 )   PDF (843KB) ( 18 )   Save The post - Confucian doctrine of capitalism, quite popular several years ago, tried to explain the increase of East Asian economy by the Confucian cultural tradition. It claimed to have extended Weber' s proposition about the relationship between Protestant ethics and development of capitalism and modified Weber' s idea that Confucian ethics blocked economic developments. This paper analyses the argumentative logic of "industrious and thrifty ethics"——a sub-view of the Confucian doctrine of capitalism which asserted that the traditional Confucian industrious ethics promoted the development of East Asian economy after World War Ⅱ. Unable to exceed Weber' s theory, this post-Confucian doctrine fails to provide an effective explanation of the development of East Asian economy. References | Related Articles | Metrics

The Japanese Novels on World War Ⅱ in Chinese and Japanese Textbooks——A Perspective from the Historical Understanding of Literary Criticism Ning GAO, Xiao-long HAN 2003, 35 (3):  60-67, 74.  doi: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5579.2003.03.011 Abstract ( 1229 )   HTML ( 0 )   PDF (1227KB) ( 17 )   Save There exist great differences in Chinese and Japanese textbooks dealing with the Japanese novels on World War Ⅱ. This paper examines these differences in terms of a historical understanding of the novels and their negative impact. As Japanese textbooks, they will exert an influence on Japanese younger generations on their views about World War Ⅱ, whereas in China they will lead to a misreading of the Japanese novels, thus greatly affecting a general understanding of the Japanese aggressive war on China at the level of history.

The Citizenization of Farmers of Land Requisition——A Case Research on Shanghai Ying-fang CHEN 2003, 35 (3):  88-95.  doi: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5579.2003.03.015 Abstract ( 1349 )   HTML ( 0 )   PDF (939KB) ( 22 )   Save The question of "how fanners become townspeople" tends to be regarded as a part of the issue of "urbanization". This paper, viewing the question from another angle, takes urban sociology as a basic paradigm. It tries to explain those problems confronted by the farmers who are in the process of becoming townspeople through a study of the property difference between farmers and townspeople, the change of people' s life consciousness and way of life, and the consciousness of urban residents. This may help us to have a better understanding of modernization of Chinese society. Figures and Tables | References | Related Articles | Metrics

A Value Analysis of Consulting Information on the Investment of Securities Jun-yang XI, Kun YUAN 2003, 35 (3):  102-106.  doi: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5579.2003.03.017 Abstract ( 1252 )   HTML ( 0 )   PDF (539KB) ( 17 )   Save This paper makes an analysis of the value of investment consulting information from the return change of different investment decisions. Under complete information or in the condition that an investor has complete knowledge about correct ratio of an investment institution' s advice, the value of consulting information cannot be negative. Under the condition of incomplete information, if the real ratio of information is smaller than the ratio that the investor has known about the consulting institution and the real ratio cannot meet the boundary condition, the information has no value at all, but also results in the loss of the investor' s profits. The government should strengthen its regulation and management on investment consulting institutions. This will help to protect investors' interests and promote a development of the market of securities. Figures and Tables | References | Related Articles | Metrics
