The rare occurrence of “Beijing Blue” and media chatter about such rare weather is indicative of the Chinese capital’s ongoing battle with polluted air and is symbolic of the severe pressure the country faces in the feld of environmental protection.展开更多

Her hypothesis is that mothering/being-mothered forms a non-essentialist but fundamental core process that has been neglected by the Western view of the world. Most important is that Vaughan thematizes the mothering/being-mothered paradigm in the framework of her gift logic, which is oriented by otherness logic. Restoring such a paradigm offers new light on language, communication and human relationships, thereby contributing to recovery of the properly human in terms of gift economy values.展开更多

At the time, I did not consider this a luxury,although today it certainly would be. I took it forgranted that mothers were the sandwich-makers,the finger-painting appreciators and the homeworkmonitors. I never questioned that this ambitious,intelligent woman, who had had a career before Iwas born and would eventually return to a career,would spend almost every lunch hour throughoutmy elementary school years just with me.展开更多
