Wang Shuo and the commercialisation of contemporary Chinese culture
Full text linkThis thesis examines the commercialisation of Chinese culture that has taken place over the past twenty years in mainland China. It explores the contribution of Wang Shuo, a cultural figure who straddles different fields of culture, moving from literature to the ultimate mass culture medium of television, this study plots Wang Shuo' s development from educational failure, to business failure, to fiction writer, film & TV editor, film director and cultural critic and analyst. His stories, films, TV series and articles have caused shock-waves throughout national cultural circles as he has transformed the terms of the debate from academic discourse to a validation of the role of the market in the culture field. Although Wang Shuo has not been labelled as a dissident, his approach to the culture market has had a more subversive effect on official ideology that those overt dissidents who have had to live in exile or have been imprisoned. He has utilised the language of official ideology to satirise the authorities, turning the ideology and its supporters into figures of fun. Yet his own goals have been strictly personal and economic ones. The authorities recognize the value of Wang Shuo's work in the cultural market but at the same time distrust his works and place him under strict censorship. Examining the way Wang Shuo and people surround him have succeeded in different fields of cultural achievement is a mirror to understanding the process of the transformation of contemporary Chinese culture from a socialist state-controlled culture to a market-oriented mass culture industry

Academic Library, e-Science/e-Research, and Data Services in a Broader Context
No full textIn North America, academic libraries’ data services have recently emerged as a new field during a very interesting time when academic libraries are adjusting themselves to be able to deal with more digital material and at the same time trying to be further involved in the academic research process. The academic world is also undergoing a transformation into a new paradigm of doing research called e-science, which is characterized by data-intensive and networked research. Managing and curating the ever-increasing amount of data seems to be a natural extension of the established function of libraries. However, if we look at the broader landscape of e-science and all the supporting systems that are under development accordingly, we will see more than one model of data services provided by different institutions, or by different combinations of institutions. This paper will summarize these two major e-science support models, both in North America and in Europe. For both data services planners and practitioners, we need more contextual learning about the academic world and the emergence of the e-science paradigm, and a more visionary view of libraries among all the services departments/agencies around us so that we all can better design our academic library services and continue to promote and develop it.Paper presented at the ACRL 2013 Conference in Indianapolis, Indiana, April 10-13, 2013.Wang, Minglu.

Wang Meng and contemporary Chinese literature: the vicissitudes of a committed writer
Full text linkThis thesis examines the way Wang Meng has developed as a writer from the 1950s to the 1990s in the context of New China's political and literary background. It looks at the compromises he was forced to make between his political beliefs in the Communist Party and his chosen role as a professional writer. After his disastrous early foray into what was deemed to be unacceptable political criticism with The Young Newcomer in the Organisation Department in the 1950s, when the opportunity came to start publishing again in the late 1970s he was boldly innovative in style, helping to transform New Period literature, but conservative in content, sticking to politically acceptable topics. It was only with Hard Porridge in 1989 that he ventured again, and very successfully, into political comment. There is no outstanding leading writer in contemporary China, but Wang Meng is a leading contender for the title

Data’s Different Missions in E-Science, E-Social Sciences and E-Humanities
No full textData has been closely related to all the e-research fields, be it e-science, e-social sciences or e-humanities. There are increasing amount of descriptive studies on the current data needs of different discipline, there are also best practices of data management developed with the mindset of taking care of data during its whole life cycle. But among all these hot discussions of the opportunities and challenges that data is bringing to the world, there haven't been enough philosophical thoughts or reflections on data's advantages and limitations under the consideration of the different goals of science, social sciences, and humanities' inquiries. This paper will start from Jürgen Habermas' epistemology of knowledge and human interests; then examine different e-research fields and their data usage trends with new theoretical lens of their ultimate missions, that is how well they have helped human beings instrumentally control the world, ideally change the society, and easily understand each other across temporal and spatial dimensions. We could then also have a higher level of vision about what might be possible in the future that data could help each research fields to accomplish.Presented at IASSIST 2012 Conference (International Association of Social Sciences Information Services and Technology), Washington D.C., June 6, 2012
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
