民国时期建教合作政策的生成与转化——话语分析的视角

建教合作政策是产教融合政策的前身之一,话语分析是解构它的准备、生产与消费谱系的可行方法。在话语准备中,民国时期的特殊社会语境赋予建教学校、行政运行、专业教学三组政策群以经济、政治、文化色彩。话语权势、话语秩序、话语立场的由民转官、由弱转强、由建议转命令三处语用转折显示了建教合作政策的话语生产节点。在政府、媒体、政策部门中,建教合作政策的话语消费表现为稳定性、演绎性、共时性3条互文逻辑。基于话语准备、话语生产、话语消费的维度展开对民国时期建教合作政策的析理与透视,除了能够厘清民国时期建教合作政策的诞生情况,还能讨论当下产教融合政策的发展。

民国时期自行车与城市社会生活方式变迁研究(1927—1936)

民国时期是中国近代社会的转型时期,各种西方消费品纷纷进入中国。西方先进的新式交通工具传入中国后,不仅改变了旧式交通工具的主导地位,也带来了传统社会观念与消费风尚的悄然变化。随着城市道路与交通设施的逐渐完善,自行车作为城市交通工具开始流行,不仅使人们的出行更加快捷、舒适、方便,而且产生了一系列的社会文化效应。那些有能力消费的社会阶层,把自行车当作日常生活的重要交通工具,同时也是一种社会身份的象征。自行车也被有限地投入公用,成为邮差等部门的交通工具,提高了工作效率。自行车的进口,也促使自行车民族工业的发展,尽管产品仿制的过程在外来自行车的冲击下依然艰难。西方器物的进口,产生的文化冲击效应是非常直接的,不仅仅是外在改变了中国传统交通工具,促进新行业的兴起,而且带来深层次的变化。这种消费品的供给,满足了经济发达城市市民的生活需求,提高了生活质量,也给人们的社会生活带来影响。自行车可以视为一种物质文化符号,在传播过程中,自行车从奢侈品到逐渐融入日常百姓的社会生活之中,最后成了中国人特别喜爱的交通工具,是近代中国社会文化演变的缩影。

国际体育参与对民族国家意识的建构——基于民国时期中国参与远东运动会和奥运会的考察

20世纪初,中国在世界资本主义洪流的席卷下开启了构建现代民族国家的历程。受西方文化的影响,现代体育在清末民初传入中国之际即被引以为“救国强种”的有效途径,并与政治紧密结合。借助文献资料,运用史学研究的基本方法,基于中国在20世纪上半叶的远东运动会及奥运会参与史,发现在民国时期通过国际体育参与,包括收回国人体育领导权、积极参与国际体育竞争等,强化了中国的独立自主意识,推动了民众参与国家政治议程,塑造了国民的国家意识和民族认同,并借助远东运动会和奥运会在争取国际合法权益、表达国家立场及输出民族传统体育文化等行动中推进了作为现代民族国家的外交进程,表达了参与国际事务、融入国际社会的意愿。

民国时期师范学校乡村教育课程设置

地名治理与更名政治 ——民国时期北京街巷地名的演变

明清以来,北京的街巷地名基本上处于自主发展和多中心管理的状态中,既受到王朝政治和精英文化的影响,也为民间文化的发展保留了空间。进入民国以后,城市当局开始强化对街巷地名的“标准化”管理,同时又将地名管理与不动产登记相结合,形成精细治理城市空间的技术基础。城市当局还发动了对街巷地名的“雅化”、民族主义化和“地名革命”等运动,通过对街巷地名的政治化操作,将街头打造成意识形态展演的空间。但由于存在着各种限制性因素,城市当局对街巷地名的全盘整顿难以落到实处。民国时期北京街巷地名的演变,既展示了权力生产和行使的新方式,也反映出近代国家与社会关系的新走向。
