Alice Walker is one of the prominent American writers in American women' s literature and black literature in 1950s-1960s.The short story Everyday Use was published early in her writing career.She displays the differences in the behav iors and minds of the mother and her two daughters during the process of seeking the self-consciousness of black woman from the point of view of " womanism".This paper attempts to explore the awakening of their heritage and self-consciousness in or der to deepen the understanding and thoughts on the theme of the text.

Study on Self-consciousness of Children With Learning Disabilities and Related Factors

Objective To study the self-consciousness of children with learning disabilities (LD) and to identify related factors. Methods Five hundred and sixty pupils graded from 1 to 6 in an elementary school were investigated. According to the pupil rating scale revised screening for learning disabilities (PRS), combined Raven’s test (CRT) and achievement of main courses, 35 of 560 pupils were diagnosed as LD children. Thirty-five children were selected from the average children and 35 from advanced children in academic achievement equally matched in class, gender, and age with LD children as control groups. The three groups were tested by Piers-Harris children’s self-concept scale. Basic information of each subject was collected by self-made questionnaire. Results Compared with the average and advanced children, LD children got significantly lower scores in self-concept scale. Based on logistic regression analysis, 3 factors were identified, including family income per month, single child and delivery model. Conclusion The results suggest that self-consciousness of children with LD is lower than that of normal children.

The Relationship between College Graduate’s Dual Self-Consciousness and Job Search Clarity: The Mediating Role of Perceived Stress

The aim of the study was to explore the relationship between college graduates’dual self-consciousness,job search clarity and perceived stress,and reveal the mediating role of perceived stress between dual self-consciousness and job search clarity.In this study,467 college graduates were investigated using the Dual Self-Consciousness Scale,Job Search Clarity Scale,and Perceived Stress Scale.After controlling for gender,age,and region,the results revealed that:(1)private self-consciousness has a significant positive predictive effect on job search clarity;(2)perceived stress has a significant negative predictive effect on job search clarity;(3)perceived stress plays partial mediation effects between private self-consciousness and job search clarity;(4)perceived stress plays complete mediation effects between public self-consciousness and job search clarity;(5)perceived stress has suppressing effects between public self-consciousness and job search clarity.

The Conflicts of Huck''s Self-consciousness and His Spiritual Growth in Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is one of the masterpieces of American novelist Mark Twain. In this novel, Twain not onlydescribes the courageous adventures of Huck, but also his psychological or spiritual growth. Due to the social and cultural back-ground of that time and general cultural concept the protagonist was instilled before, the conflicts of the protagonist's self-con-sciousness appear many times in this novel when the issue of slavery is concerned. However, through the protagonist's inner con-flicts, he finally gains spiritual growth and obtains a higher level of moral maturity.

The Study on Self-consciousness in Flow

The issue of consciousness is a core issue in flow theory.The key element of flow is concentration,which is based on self-control and the order of consciousness.Flow usually gives people a feeling of ecstasy,but this disappearance of self-awareness does not mean the disappearance of the self.Self still controls actions and thinking.The abnormality of the sense of time in flow is related to the disappearance of self-consciousness.Reflection provides the dynamic situation of behavior and helps people adjust themselves in time to achieve the optimal experience of heart flow.

Phenomenal Consciousness, Self-Consciousness and Animal Suffering

In this article I will confront Antonio Damasio＇s theory （exposed in his last book Self Comes to Mind） with the criticism it received from Ned Block. The latter holds that Damasio does not distinguish the concepts of phenomenal consciousness and self-consciousness and this has two kinds of consequences. One is that it cannot satisfactorily explain certain mental states （dreams, vegetative states）; the other is that it has harmful consequences for animal ethics. I maintain that to compare the two theories we can only rely on our pre-theoretical intuition of consciousness. Thus, I argue that Dam^tsio＇s theory combines more with our intuitions. One of the reasons is that the cases that Block describes as phenomenal consciousness without access consciousness （and without self-consciousness） are best explained as being cases of mind without consciousness. Dam^sio＇s theory can also explain those referred cases which are theoretically problematic. Moreover, Dam^isio has a threshold model （an expression by Barry Dainton）, which is something that Block seems to ignore. This model fits well with the intuitions and neurological knowledge that we normally have on animal consciousness. Dam^isio＇s core self and his theory of emotions and feelings allow us to understand why we feel compassion for animals. Therefore, we are able to develop an animal ethics, which does not mean that we are required to do so. So even though Damasio does not solve the mystery of consciousness, he should not be the subject of Block＇s criticism.

The Rise of the Elizabethan Language:Self-consciousness and Language Policy

The notion of"Queen's English",depending on who is the ruler of the time,could be traced back to the sixteenth century,when the idea that the monarch's usage of the language should be a model in speech and writing.That is where the"Elizabethan English" originated from.From the linguistic point of view,Elizabethan English is categorized into Early Modern English,which dominantly spanned the Renaissance,Elizabethan era and Shakespeare.On a smaller scale,this paper focused upon language itself,trying to exemplify the rise of Elizabethan Language from the second half of 16th century to the outset of 17th century by presenting two factors of self-consciousness and the relevant policy.

Self-consciousness in Black Literature

The Black self-consciousness is an eternal literay theme seriously treated in American Literature and Black Literature in particular,This paper gives a survey of the progress of Black self-consciousness in which Black Americans have neen struggling continously to earn their freedom and equality,and later to restore their own self-respect and confidence.The progressive self-consciousness is evidently demonstrated in this paper by comparative analysis of various Black figures,from the obedient and meek Ngro slaves represented by Uncle Tom to the rebellious and difi-ant characters portrayed by Richard Wright and Ralph Ellison,In reality,the promising generation involved in the Harlem Renaissance have taken some measures to search for their own identity in a highly organized and prejudiced society.

The Awakening of Self-consciousness of the African American Women—an Analysis of Dee in Everyday Use

Alice Walker is one of the prominent American writers in American women's literature and black literature in 1950s-1960s. Everyday Use is regarded as Alice Walker's best-written short story. The prevailing opinion among the critics about this story is that Dee is the traitor of black American's cultural heritage, and the mother and Maggie are the hope of true value of the African Americans' tradition and heritage; however, after considering the historical and cultural background of the story, we may safely come to the conclusion that Dee actually took the first step toward the awakening of self-consciousness of the African Americans women.

The Relationship between Consumers'Public Self-consciousness and their Purchase Intention of the New Luxury Goods

The era of consumption upgrade has begun due to the rapid economic development.Nowadays,the new luxuryconsumption is prevailing,and China has emerged as the primary consumer of these luxury goods.Based on the public self-consciousness of consumers,the relationship between this aspect and consumers'purchase intentions of the new luxury goodsis explored.This study investigated the impact of consumers'public self-consciousness on their willingness to purchase newluxury goods,validated the proposed hypothesis by design experiments,and used the linear regression analysis of theexperimental data.This study showed that the higher the consumer's public self-consciousness,the more inclined they wereto purchase these luxury goods.The findings of this study would be helpful to expand and enrich the researeh of the newluxury consumption behaviors in consideration that public self-consciousness is hardly reflected in recent research.Hence,this study would enlighten and acts as a significant reference for companies of the new luxury goods to develop more effectivemarketing strategies.

论国际关系研究的知识属性——兼论西方国际关系研究的内在缺陷

现代国际关系研究经历百年发展历程之后,正面临着新的机会和选择,需对其基本属性进行重新定位和认识。国内政治与国际关系在本体论层面上的差异决定了政治学与国际关系研究在方法论意义上的根本性差异,国家这个分析单元的个体性而非一般性特征是国际关系研究必须关注的重点。对“科学化”的过分追求可能导致国际关系研究陷入体系性和实践性之间的矛盾,对国际关系研究而言,任何追求简单性、普遍性和体系性的方法可能都未必真正有效,能够切合国际关系实际的,也许是一种更注重复杂性、个体性和特殊性的方法。国际关系研究中找回特殊性应加强对历史研究的关注和对社会研究的借鉴,并注重对文化和价值问题的分析。国际关系的知识应该是一种同时面向个体性、可变性和可能性并高度关注文化和价值因素的知识,既包括传统意义上的科学面向,也需要有新的追求,即降低国家行为的不确定性并探讨国家行为的可能性。这种追求,应该能够为国际关系研究开掘更广阔且更具实效性的空间。

几种特殊火山碎屑岩的形成机制及研究意义

火山碎屑岩是火山物理学研究的最直接对象,也是鉴别碎屑化过程最重要的研究对象。一些特殊类型的火山碎屑岩及相关岩石往往可以反映出某些特征的火山岩浆作用过程,这正是甄别不同类型火山灾害发生概率的基本依据。火山灾害是与火山和火山喷发有关的灾害,它是人类在自然界面临的最重要的灾害类型之一。火山灾害与火山喷发类型直接相关,其中的爆破性火山喷发则可以形成最为致命的强烈火山灾害。爆破性火山喷发的直接产物是形成各式各样的火山碎屑岩,它们代表了喷发过程所带来的不同类型与强度的火山灾害。原生火山碎屑与次生碎屑反映了火山喷发期与喷发间歇期火山表面过程的差异,而岩浆喷发、射汽岩浆喷发和射汽喷发堆积物的鉴定则标志了现代火山学研究的系统性深化,它们是从事火山灾害研究的先导性工作。细粒空降火山灰在水盆地里保存的火山灰纹层因其良好的等时面与环境指示意义而受到人们的重视,与其伴生的岩石则可能需要区分层凝灰岩、沉凝灰岩、凝灰质泥岩等各种不同火山沉积作用类型。熔岩流动碎屑化产生的自碎角砾岩和熔岩流水下淬火形成的碎玻熔岩代表了与熔岩流直接相关的碎屑化,而不是与爆破性火山作用相关的碎屑化。通常把它们划归为原生火山作用碎屑,但其灾害意义却完全不同。不同类型的火山碎屑岩形成于不同的碎屑化机理与成岩方式,其中一些特定的火山碎屑岩更是代表了极为特殊的火山灾害类型与规模。对于隐爆角砾岩,尽管它是一种火山碎屑岩的岩石名称,但其实我们更关心它的资源经济学意义。

民族音乐研究的面向与策略——西藏传统音乐研究个案举述

民族音乐研究的面向与策略问题是一个关涉很广的学术命题,不仅涉及理论问题,同时涉及实践问题。从民族音乐研究尤其不同民族传统音乐的多元化文化背景和多样性形态特征等方面看,寻求契合的理论模型和贴切的实践路径是研究成果是否符合客观实际的重要前提。文章从民族音乐研究的面向与策略相关理论研讨入手,延伸至西藏传统音乐研究实践的个案举述。

国际私法中的普遍主义与特殊主义辩证法

从国际私法的理念出发,不难梳理出一组从普遍主义出发,到特殊主义的反复,再向普遍主义复归的过程。而在人类历史的发展过程中,国际私法的发展历史也一直印证着这一辩证的发展过程。经过探寻法的理念推理和历史时代两方面角度,国际私法普遍主义与特殊主义矛盾运动的辩证过程自然显现,在其中,现代普遍主义学说仍然呼唤着普遍主义的实质复归。

论中国式现代化的中国性

中国式现代化既有各国现代化的共同特征,更有基于自己国情的中国特色,是普遍性与特殊性的统一。从实质上讲,中国式现代化就是社会主义现代化在中国的实践形态和“具体化”,体现着社会主义现代化在中国发展的个性特点和特殊规律。中国式现代化不仅是实现中华民族伟大复兴的路径选择,更是系统的理论,是对中国式现代化道路、理念、目标、发展战略、制度基础、文化蕴涵等多重内容的总结提炼。本文试图将中国式现代化这一系统的理论分解,从中国智慧、中国自信、中国理念、中国战略、中国方案五个角度,深入剖析中国式现代化的“中国性”,以便中国更好认识自身,有利于世界正确理解中国。

中国式现代化文明意识生成的历史性考察

文明意识在“我者”与“他者”的历史比较中呈现,进而形塑其“特殊性”与“普遍性”的价值结构。中国式现代化文明意识的生成主要在中华文明主体性发展、文明意识的历史性涌现和中国共产党人在不同历史时期的实践特质等维度上彰显。中国式现代化创造性地接续了中华文明普遍性重建的历史使命。社会主义与以儒学为代表的中华优秀传统文化皆具有人类文明的理论视野与经世诉求。中国化马克思主义的实践特质主要体现在:一是由特殊性实现普遍性的实践方法论,成为重要方法论原则;二是从特殊性走向普遍性的价值目的论,言说其终极旨趣。作为普遍性叙事话语的“人类文明新形态”,对于中国式现代化的发展与人类文明共同体秩序的重构具有重要的理论价值与现实意义。

马克思历史性思维的呈现方式与当代建构

马克思始终坚持以历史性思维方式展开对现实世界的思考,并在理论研究与实践所需的双重推动下实现对历史性现实运动的内在把握。这种历史性思维呈现为:以把握特定时代的社会历史特质和世界发展趋势作为基本前提,探求现实对象在历史总体进程中展现出的一般必然性与特殊规定性,形成对特定社会现实的批判性解构,据此建构起对历史发展脉络的整体性理解。当代中国正处于世界百年未有之大变局与中华民族伟大复兴战略全局交汇的历史时刻,面对更加严峻的理论挑战和实践任务,需要正确认识中国所处的时代方位和历史阶段,在自我批判与自我革命中形成对中国实践的规律性认识,由此建构历史性思维再现实化的中国逻辑。

自然区划单独立法研究——以《长江保护法》为例

《长江保护法》是我国第一部自然区划单独立法,但相关研究只注重其对长江流域环境保护的影响,而忽视了它对自然区划单独立法的指导与借鉴意义。事实上,《长江保护法》对回答环境法治的三个问题提供了重要启迪。这三个问题是:为何自然区划需要单独立法?什么样的自然区划可以单独立法?自然区划法应如何立法?尤其是在强调立法节制的当下,为长江这一自然区划单独立法而不是修正涉及长江环境保护的环境法律,背后更是具有深远的立法考量与丰富的研究价值。以《长江保护法》为素材,对三个问题进行深入探讨,不仅有利于《长江保护法》未来的革新与发展,更能为新颁布的《黄河保护法》与《青藏高原保护法》等环境法律提供更为详备的理论支撑,进而最终作用于环境法治的发展与完善。《长江保护法》之所以被制定和颁布,缘于长江等自然区划的环保特殊性与现有法律的普适性存在不洽,并且自然区划的环境法治与环境法律的法域链接存在不洽,导致普适的环境法律无法满足自然区划特殊的环境保护需求,以及环境法治在自然区划上的实施过程与实施效果出现了断裂。自然区划需要单独立法,然而却并非所有的自然区划都需要单独立法,长江流域为自然区划立法提供了一个标准型样范。一方面,长江流域具备地理与人文的特殊性,长江流域的环境保护具备环保需求与规制手段的特殊性。另一方面,长江流域跨越多个行政区域,且又是一个完整而聚合的生态系统。因此,只有具有特殊性与广域性的自然区划才会产生与旧有环境法律的上述不洽,才具有单独立法的必要。为了让自然区划法适应于当前环境法律体系,且能更好地发挥其独特的优势与作用,需要将自然区划法置于环境法律体系中的特殊法地位,在法律适用中予以优先适用。并且,自然区划法具有一项不同于现有环境法律的原则——完整性原则。在该原则的指导下,自然区划法需要选择一种与当前环境法律有别的立法模式:确立以地方政府为规制对象,并围绕提升环境质量而非个体规制,赋予地方政府以法律责任。
