Stray Soul——A Psychoanalysis of the Reasons of Children's Murder in Lord of the Flies

Lord of the Flies is the first and outstanding novel by William Golding①, the Nobel Prize winner. In this novel, Golding exposes the dark side of human nature. What have left an impressive shocking image in this novel are the three bloody incidents occurring among the originally innocent children. After a brief introduction to Lord of the Flies and comparison and contrast of the three murders, we find that the reasons are not only "the dark side of human nature", but also the death instinct, the instinct of fear and power, which are derived from psychoanalysis. Undeniably, the external factors, such as the social circumstance and natural surroundings are also responsible for the boys' uncontrolled behavior.

Births, economic growth, mortality and murder in a developing country

Background: In 1960, total fertility rate in Jamaica was 5.6 children per woman which declined by 57.5% in 2008. The reduction in fertility is primarily attributable to contraceptive measures;but murder and other selected macroeconomic variables have never been included in the literature. Objectives: This study examines murder, mortality, and selected macroeconomic variables are factors of births, using data for Jamaica from 1989-2009. Methods: The study is a secondary data analysis of statistics on Jamaica from 1989 - 2009 but also includes data on births from 1900s. Find- ings: In the decade of the 1950s, births increased by 79.9% over the decade of 1900s, grew by 22.4% in the 1960s over the previous decade and declined by 17.6% in 2000s compared with the 1990s. Four emerged as statistically significant predictors of lnbirth—inflation, GDP per capita growth, mortality and murder, with an explanatory power of 90.6%—F = 19.291, P s = 0.962), when murder was excluded and replaced by annual exchange rate, the factors influencing lnbirth was exchange rate, inflation, unemployment, GDP per capita growth and mortality—all factors account for 92.2% of the variability in lnbirth—F = 30.572, P < 0.0001. Conclusion: Murder is more that a crime it is a cause of birth decline, suggesting that public health practitioners as well as epidemiologists must take this factor into account as it is a birth determinant.

高罗佩The Chinese Maze Murders自译的社会学解读

运用布迪厄的社会学理论,将高罗佩置身于当时的翻译、文学及更高的权力场域中,分析高罗佩对The Chinese Maze Murders的自译行为,发现高罗佩在翻译时对场域中的规则是有选择性地遵从。遵从的部分表现在他充分发挥自己的文化资本优势,依照文学场域的规则,增强了小说的文学性与可读性。不遵从的部分表现在违反当时的翻译场域、文学场域及权力场域的规则,在外国侦探小说翻译之风正劲之时选择翻译中国题材的公案小说,以及如实翻译敏感情节。遵守规则是为了积累资本,但不遵守规则是出于译者独特的文学、研究者及作者惯习,而且惯习所形成的行为或许有利于场域的发展进步。

译者惯习视角下The Chinese Maze Murders自译与他译对比研究

宽严相济视角下义愤杀人犯罪的认定标准与量刑规范——以217份刑事判决书为样本

义愤杀人案件因其情与法、人伦孝义与犯罪事实的复杂交织而频频引发社会关注。当前司法实务中对义愤杀人犯罪存在认定标准不一、义愤情节易被忽视、量刑畸轻畸重甚至同案不同判等问题。定罪方面,引起义愤杀人的“不义”行为应严格限定为严重悖德行为,只有“不义”行为的实施对象及与实施对象有特殊关系者才能够被认定为义愤杀人者,为终结长期迫害的“非当场性”杀人行为也可以被认定为义愤杀人。量刑方面,应当将“义愤”动机(原因)作为确定义愤杀人犯罪量刑起点的基本犯罪构成事实,以普通故意杀人罪的量刑规范确定基准刑,并综合案件实际,依据犯罪行为的社会危害程度和犯罪人的人身危险程度,谨慎、严格地把控义愤杀人犯罪中量刑情节的调节幅度。

戏剧与游戏:沉浸式剧本杀“戏剧化”发展路径研究

随着沉浸式娱乐产业的快速发展,大众对精神文化产品的消费趋向于“个性化”和“多元化”的需求,沉浸式戏剧与剧本杀就是其典型代表。沉浸式剧本杀以“思维、逻辑、演绎、辩论、社交”作为其产品的核心竞争力,开启了“戏剧化”“游戏化”的发展之路,这也使得该游戏产品拥有巨大的市场潜力。沉浸式剧本杀筑造的“高级的游戏形式”,将“戏剧”与“游戏”集于一身,兼具“互动性、参与性、观赏性”三种特征,打破戏剧中的“第四堵墙”。该文基于戏剧中“游戏性理论”,对沉浸式剧本杀“戏剧化”发展路径进行研究,分析沉浸式剧本杀是如何成为“戏剧化的游戏”,并对其未来的发展与革新进行探究。

4 New York City Policemen Cleared in Diallo Murder

去年2月4日凌晨,来自几内亚的22岁移民迪亚洛在纽约布朗克斯区自己的寓所门口被4名值勤的白人警察连击41枪,身中19弹当场惨死。此案当时立即引发了纽约市各界数万人的大游行。随后,当地检察机关以二级谋杀罪、危害公众安全等6项罪名对这4名白人警察提出起诉。今年1月31日,纽约州高等法院开庭审理此案并组成了由4名黑人和8名白人组成的陪审团。在经过3天的商讨后,陪审团在纽约州首府奥尔巴尼宣布,指控4名白人警察的6项罪名均不成立。 判决宣布后,纽约市接连爆发了有数千名各阶层民众参加的各种示威活动,抗议白人警察对少数族裔移民滥用暴力和种族歧视倾向,由这一裁决引发的纽约各种族之间的紧张关系也有愈演愈烈之势。 本文从内容到表达,有许多值得读者回味之处。比如: 1/The racially mixed crowd of mostly young people chanted.“No Justice,NoPeace.”(句中的短语racially mixed crowd告知读者:游行示威队伍中不乏白人青年。) 2/Angry but nonviolent(非暴力的)demonstrations in Albany and in theSoundview section of the Bronx(布朗克斯,纽约市最北端的一区)where Diallolived and was killed began even as the verdicts were being read in court and broad—cast live on television and

性侵害未成年人犯罪防范体系的实践困境与改革进路——以上海市为中心

近年来,上海市性侵害未成年人犯罪的案件数量和被害人人数都呈上升趋势。有关部门从制度层面、司法层面、社会层面采取了防范措施,但是,实践中面临许多困境。据此,适当借鉴域外做法,应当从被害预防、犯罪预防和制度供给三个方面改革完善性侵害未成年人犯罪的防范体系,主要包括:防范性侵害教育进家庭、学校、企业、社区,防范未成年人被性侵害风险;对性侵害未成人犯罪从严惩处,通过对罪犯信息的登记和公示、电子监管、从业限制等,避免再犯。同时,加大制度供给,织密性侵害未成年人犯罪的法网,加强被害后救助补偿,延长追诉时效期限,切实加强性侵害未成年被害人保护。

清代服制命案中的夹签制度

清代服制命案中的夹签制度形成于乾隆时期,是主要针对“情可矜悯”服制命案声请减等的一种特殊司法审判制度,运作流程中包括督抚声请、刑部夹签、内阁票拟加签及皇帝决断等环节。夹签制度的核心就是在依法判决的同时予以必要的情理考量,以实现律例前提下的“情法允协”为最高目标,既是清代“情理法”司法审判特征的典型表现,亦是国家治理的政治需要。夹签案件的法律推理及夹签后的处置等都能够体现清代司法者的法律观念和司法逻辑。夹签制度的出现,为审视刑事犯罪中的情理要素提供了必要的申诉渠道和制度保障,可供当代中国司法镜鉴。

旅游沉浸式体验的互动机制与意义构建——以“剧本杀”旅游活动为例

数字经济时代,“剧本杀”作为旅游消费新业态,大大推动了文旅产业转型升级及创新性发展。基于大众点评和小红书等主流社交媒体网站评论的扎根分析,从身心层面阐释消费者生成旅游沉浸式体验的互动机制及其意义建构。研究发现:个人特征、叙事质量、人际互动、物理场景及服务质量感知是影响旅游者获得沉浸式体验的关键因素;沉浸式体验包括感官体验、情感体验及意义体验三个维度,三者从不同层次影响旅游者的态度和行为;在“身体—情感—叙事—情境”交互作用下,旅游者以多感官与叙事场景联结,情感与叙事内容共鸣,通过叙事传输获得深刻的感官体验、丰富的情感体验及变革性的意义体验,最终影响旅游者态度、观念及行为。最后,针对文化与旅游产业的深度融合与创新性发展提出对策。

司法逻辑视角下受虐妇女杀夫案的出罪进路

我国司法实践中,受虐妇女杀夫案的出罪空间狭窄,而目前国内学界对此问题仍致力于寻找单一化出罪进路以求实现日后同一化解决。然而,受虐妇女杀夫案作为一类典型的非常规案件,一味追求同案同判恐难实现此类案件的个案正义。以司法逻辑重新审视此类案件,以非常规案件中普遍存在的“情随案变”的情境化特点为受虐妇女寻求新出路。结合规范依据,挖掘类案中存在的情节因素,以情境化的视角和方式适用,使得正当防卫、缺乏期待可能性等出罪事由具有相当的合理性与正当性,为受虐妇女杀夫案拓展新的情境化出罪进路。

基于游戏化理论的剧本杀红色文化传播探析

红色文化作为先进文化赋予当代青年人以精神力量。然而,因为集体记忆缺失及传播形式的空壳化,红色文化在青年群体中的传播面临一定问题。近年来兴起红色文化剧本杀,以高沉浸、强感染为故事特点,承载红色文化精神内核,对红色文化进行游戏化传播,实现了一次亚文化和主流文化之间的有效沟通。该文运用游戏化传播理论,以红色文化剧本杀为分析对象,对红色文化剧本杀传播红色文化的路径进行分析。研究发现:红色文化剧本杀通过“行为动力”“体验目标”“奖励机制”“情感联结”的4种游戏化机制,以年轻化方式盘活红色文化传播路径。

红色“剧本杀”融入高校党史学习教育的原则与路径

“剧本杀”是真人扮演角色的探案破案剧本游戏,反映了当代青年文化消费心理和思想特点。其中,“家国情怀本”是剧本杀家族中情感沉浸本的代表之一,其中与党史、国史相关的剧本在业内被称为“红色剧本杀”。虽然红色“剧本杀”在已有的剧本游戏作品中并不占主流,但因其强烈的感染力在广大学生中十分流行。高校应根据大学生的心理和思想特点,创作高质量红色“剧本杀”系列产品,将其与党史学习教育相融合,坚持明理、明理、增信、崇德、力行的原则提高高校党史学习教育的实效性。

《天盛改旧新定律令》“谋杀罪”考探

“■■”一词是《天盛改旧新定律令》中卷首常见的法律术语,当前汉译本《天盛改旧新定律令》将其翻译为“故杀”。根据西夏文《文海》中“■”字的解释,以及此罪名与唐宋律法中的“谋杀”罪在定义特征、科刑标准、适用对象和刑罚措施方面的内容基本相同,经考辨,当前汉译本《天盛改旧新定律令》中卷首“■■”的罪名以“谋”为入罪条件,以首从关系的认定和行为结果科刑,其应是中华法系杀人罪名中的谋杀罪,非故杀。而“故杀”多比附“谋杀”科刑,两种罪名概念区别明显。准确释读该法律术语,对于完善西夏的刑名制度具有重要意义。
