Previous studies have identified the critical role of the left fusiform cortex in visual word form processing, learning, and memory. However, this so-called visual word form area's other functions are not clear. In this study, we used fMRI and the subsequent memory paradigm to examine whether the putative VWFA was involved in the processing and successful memory encoding of faces as well as words. Twenty-two native Chinese speakers were recruited to memorize the visual forms of faces and Chinese words. Episodic (...) memory for the studied material was tested 3. h after the scan with a recognition test. The fusiform face area and the VWFA were functionally defined using separate localizer tasks. We found that, both within and across subjects, stronger activity in the VWFA was associated with better recognition memory of both words and faces. Furthermore, activation in the VWFA did not differ significantly during the encoding of faces and words. Our results revealed the important role of the so-called VWFA in face processing and memory and supported the view that the left mid-fusiform cortex plays a general role in the successful processing and memory of different types of visual objects. © 2010 Elsevier Inc.

Hegel’s philosophy has an influence on China. There is a history of the Chinese reception of Hegel. This shows that he is certainly a “world philosopher.” The profound and broad thought in his philosophy has made it achieve a great actuality, thus making the study of Hegel a typically international phenomenon. In China, Hegel studies are alive and are now undergoing further development. This development is worth studying especially because Hegelianism has been a field of Chinese philosophy since the end (...) of the 19th century, and therefore has reference to the whole spirit of this people. There can be no doubt that in the changes in contemporary Chinese philosophy the study of Hegel has never been a separate element. (shrink)

It has been widely acknowledged that exemplifi cation plays a very signifi cant role in foreign language learning. Many studies have been conducted on dictionary examples, but little attention has been paid to how examples can assist a specifi c group of foreign learners engaged in a specifi c learning activity. The present study is intended to fi ll this gap by investigating how to optimize examples in English learners’ dictionaries to help Chinese learners with writing in English. The functional (...) theory of lexicography will be employed in this study. This investigation will be carried out in two stages. The fi rst one consists in identifying the lexicographic needs of foreign learners engaged in the task of English writing and consulting dictionary examples. The second stage is a demonstration of some proposals for exemplifi cation in learners’ dictionaries through model articles. The purpose of this study is to give new insights into exemplifi cation in learners’ dictionaries for future lexicographic research and practice. (shrink)

Research on unethical pro-organizational behavior has predominantly focused on its antecedents, while overlooking how engaging in such behavior might affect employees’ psychological experience and their downstream work behaviors. Integrating cognitive dissonance theory with the moral identity literature, we argue that engaging in UPB restricts moral identity internalization as a result of attempts to alleviate the cognitive dissonance about moral self-regard, which in turn translates into decreased organizational citizenship behavior and increased counterproductive workplace behavior. Moreover, employees’ construal level weakens these indirect (...) effects by alleviating the negative effect of engaging in UPB on moral identity internalization. The results from one experimental study and one multi-wave, multisource field study provide support for these predictions. Our research extends knowledge on the negative consequences of UPB for actors and organizations. (shrink)

本書作者黃聖哲教授在德國被譽為「台灣具有領導地位的阿多諾專家」（德國Campus出版社，2009年），他是第一位直接繼承法蘭克福學派的傳統，並獲得德國法蘭克福大學社會學博士的台灣學者。 返台後，在阿多諾思想研究、文化與藝術社會學、客觀詮釋學方法論等領域多有建樹。 本書匯集了他主要的阿多諾研究論文，原創性十足，誠為台灣讀者認識批判理論不可或缺的重要著作。 其次是有關德國社會學家阿多諾的藝術社會學研究。阿多諾在德國戰後社會學發展史的重要貢獻與關鍵作用，在一些介紹法蘭克福學派或批判理論的入門導論書中經常隱而不顯。本書的第二部分，不僅試圖重建阿多諾著名的「文 化工業」理論，更試圖證明阿多諾的「美學理論」實質上是一個既有開創性又有卓越洞察力的藝術社會學。它是阿多諾之後的藝術社會學研究者，無論其持贊成或反對的立場，都必須嚴肅面對的經典著作，也是可以刺激或啟發後 續研究的靈感來源。 本書的第一部份即承繼Oevermann教授的「客觀詮釋學」思維，介紹其於藝術社會學的理論奠基工作。Oevermann的美學經驗論建立於其「危機理論」的核心架構中：美學經驗建立在危機的日常存在的架構中， 生活實踐是由危機構成的，危機與危機的克服既是美學經驗的核心構成，也是推動日常生活繼續運轉的動力。生活實踐的構成不是以常規而是以危機經驗作為核心，面對危機時的抉擇成為行動者是否具有自主性的最大挑戰。美學 經驗建立在行動的特殊性上，它抗拒任何抽象體系的範疇歸類，因此日常生活的常規性對其不起任何作用。唯有藉由危機經驗突顯出日常生活的非日常性，開放地讓某物或事件在其身上起作用，行動主體才有可能遭遇無法預見者 ，開啟新的事物或新的經驗。.

本书介绍了先秦至近现代中国美学思想的发展,内容为原始审美意识的形成、孔子的美学思想、佛教对于文学艺术的影响、唐代文论中的美学思想、近代美学思想等。.
