本研究では,現在の中国本土社会および在日中国人社会においても,中流階層の中心にいる若年・富裕層の人々が,趣味活動から形成される社会ネットワークが彼らの仲間意識を強化し,新たな友人関係を形成していることを示す.また,特に友人ネットワークの一形態として趣味ネットワークに注目する.そして,彼らが,趣味ネットワークを介して,多様な社会生活情報と,新たな社会関係資本を獲得し,いかに階層上の地位を保持・展開し,豊かな生活を暮らしているかを検討していた. / In this paper, I will focus on the leisure of young Chinese who belong to the new middle class. I will examine a soccer club in Osaka and 4 hobby groups in China mainland society, made up of Chinese young people, in order to understand the formation and changes in their new hobby networks. To do so, I have data(CGSS2003-2006)analysis. From the data acquired from these surveys, it can be inferred that as their standard of living increases, this young group of Chinese – especially in their positive aspirations towards individualism and freedom. Also they are increasingly aspiring towards a “trust society" that has as its base personal networks. I will show that participation in hobby networks leads to stronger relations between those of similar ascriptions, and through these networks young Chinese are beginning to form new trust relationships and solidarity. / 博士(社会学) / Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology / 同志社大学 / Doshisha University

We derive and test a series of profitability factors for cross-section of expected returns on Japanese and Chinese equity markets. We find gross profitability predicts returns and significant both on Japanese and Chinese equity markets. We test these factors using Fama-MacBeth regression and find gross profitability and value portfolios perform better in Japan, size and gross profitability portfolios perform better in China. Then we create new three-factor model based on the result of 5*5 portfolios, which capture value and gross profitability premium in Japan, and, size and gross profitability premium in China. And the new models' GRS test performs better than Fama-French-three-factor model at the 5% significance level. / 博士(文化情報学) / Doctor of Culture and Information Science / 同志社大学 / Doshisha University

中国人留学生の親密圏を構成する「家族」と「友人」とのネットワークは、以前と比べてその構造が大きく変化していった。中国人留学生の親密圏の中心は、「生活圏中心」から「自文化圏中心」に変容してきた。一方、中国人留学生の「微信」に対する利用習慣は彼らの親密圏を中国人ネットワークに偏らせることにつながっている。中国における共同体としての家族が、「自文化中心」の親密圏をさらに強化している。しかし「日本人友人との連絡の頻度」が高いほど、「日本人とのコミュニケーションに対する満足感」が高いことも分かった。「自文化圏中心」の親密圏が中国人留学生の異文化適応にネガティブな影響を与えるといえる。 / The network of family and friends that make up the intimate sphere of Chinese international students has changed significantly compared to before. The center of the intimate sphere of Chinese international students has changed from "centered on the living area" to "centered on the self-cultural area." On the other hand, the usage habits of Chinese students for "Wechat" have led to their intimacy being biased toward the Chinese network. The family as a community in China strengthens the "self-cultural center" intimacy. However, it was also found that the higher the "frequency of contact with Japanese friends", the higher the "satisfaction with communication with Japanese people". It can be said that the intimate sphere of "self-cultural center" has a negative impact on the cross-cultural adaptation of Chinese international students. / 博士(社会学) / Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology / 同志社大学 / Doshisha University

中国大陆自2001年实施基础教育第八次课程改革以来，对教师提出了一系列新的角色要求，要求教师成为领导者，引领课程和学生学习的积极变革，而这首先要求教师成为自身学习的领导者，进而提高教育质量。本研究以“教师领导与教师学习的互动为核心关注，运用质化取向的案例研究，以北京市两所小学为案例，呈现和探讨了两所学校中教师领导与教师学习在学校、教研组和个人层面的互动过程。研究主要通过访谈收集资料，共访谈教师、学校中层领导、校长等43人次。 / 研究所见，首先，官方规定的学习目标为学校教师学习和教师领导仅提供了有限空间。学校的教师学习为此而发展出自我适应的学校教师学习活动结构。在此受限的教师学习结构中，教师发挥领导的空间也受到一定规限。第二，在官方规定的学习目标之下，教研组成为调节外部学习要求与教师个体学习需求的重要学习情境。第三，学校固有的科层体制与科层式学习文化是限制教师领导与教师学习的主要因素。教师领导集中体现为教研组内微观学习情境的营造和教师学习活动规则的重塑；其中是否能够平等协作、积极参与、共商组内小目标是教师领导力能否积极体现的关键。 / 本研究以文化历史活动理论为概念框架，基于中国学校情境中教师学习活动结构的变迁实例，为活动理论提供了本土理解。研究所见，学校固有的科层体制与科层式学习文化透过教研组内的分工与规则，影响教师领导和教师学习的互动。学校传统的“老带新教研组文化、僵化的制度性角色分工、应试压力等科层结构与文化，限制了个体教师充分发挥领导的意愿或行动。少部分教师若能抓住改变的契机，通过组内共同参与、平等协作，共商组内教师学习的小目标时，则可能形成共同参与、流动的教师领导力，并改变组内的微观学习生态，出现教师领导与教师学习的良性互动。在两者互动过程中，中层领导在教师领导与教师学习的良性互动中扮演重要角色；主体如何共商目标是带动形成整个活动结构与发展的关键节点；教师是否具有合作意愿和正式领导职位、是否得到合作的教研组文化和学校支持是影响教师临近发展区的因素。这些都为活动理论提供了本土理解。 / Since 2001, the 8th curriculum reform in mainland China has proposed various role expectations for teachers. All these requirements expect teachers to be leaders, so as to improve curriculum implementation, promote students’ development, and enhance education quality. To fulfill these expectations, teachers, in the first place, should be leaders of their own learning to transform education. / This research takes the interaction between teacher leadership & teacher learning as the foci. By employing qualitative research method, the research demonstrates and discusses about how teacher leadership and teacher learning in two primary schools (S & Q) in Beijing interact with each other in school. The data collection method mainly based on interview and document analysis. Totally, 43 teachers, middle managers, and principals have been interviewed. / The research found, first of all, the goal of teacher learning come from superior authorities, which only left limited space for both teacher learning and teacher leadership at school. The school teacher learning was a self-adapting structure which always followed the external goal. In such a structure, teacher leadership were also limited. / Secondly, subject group was an important learning situation for teachers. It played mediating role between the learning demand from the external authorities and from teachers themselves. / Thirdly, the bureaucratic structure and bureaucratic learning culture was the main factor limiting both teacher leadership and teacher learning. Teacher leadership showed the ability to rebuild micro learning situation and learning rules within certain subject group. If teachers could negotiate reciprocal goal through equal collaboration and mutual engagement within the subject group, teacher leadership would demonstrate positive power. / With CHAT as the conceptual framework, this research provided an indigenous interpretation of CHAT based on empirical cases, thus enriched understanding of teacher learning and teacher leadership in Chinese context. Our study found, the overwhelming bureaucratic structure and learning culture in school S&Q, influenced the interaction between teacher learning & teacher leadership, through division of labor and rule in subject group. The traditional subject group culture as “lao dai xin (in which senior teachers direct novice teachers), the rigid institutional role placement, examination, etc., played together and limited teachers resorting to leadership. If a few teachers could grasp the changing opportunities, they might work out a mutual engaged, fluid leadership capacity, through mutual engagement, equal collaboration, and negotiating reciprocal learning goal within the group. This would help to transform the learning situation within the subject group, and to foster a positive interaction between teacher leadership & teacher learning. During the interaction, middle manager, such as teaching director (jiao xue zhu ren), played an important mediating role; how activity subject negotiate the reciprocal learning object was the foci in the process of activity structure formation and activity development; teacher’s intention to cooperate with others, official position or designation as leader, collaborative culture in subject group, and school support were all important factors influencing teachers’ Zone of Proximal Development. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed

Despite the fact that there has been an enormous amount of jades excavated from the Western Han tombs of Chu Princes, Xuzhou in Jiangsu province, little scholarly literature has been focused on these artefacts. Based on archaeological findings, this thesis selects some significant jade objects as the focus of attention, including jade pendants, jade vessels, jade weapons, jade suites and other burial jades. As the role and value of jade is varied in the hierarchy of material within different cultural and historical context, the changes in its functions and meanings, to some extent reflects the changes in politics, economy, and society. Through tracing their origins, the identity of the owners and examining the changes in material and society, this study attempts to reveal the cultural and social value embedded in these objects, and in doing so to reconstruct the changes in material concepts and aesthetic ideologies in the Han periods. / On the basis of the achievements have hitherto in Han jade study, the present study is expected to shed light on our understanding of tomb culture and its relation to the society from a broader and more comprehensive perspective. Aside from placing specific types of jade into an accurate period or investigating their functions and sources, this study will read the object by cross reference to ancient textual material. / Using jade, a particular category of art objects, as the point of entry, this study seeks to explore and question the issue of materiality and identity within the context of tomb art, and the wider issue of cultural and social practices in the Han Dynasty. / 林巧羚. / Submitted: 2010年11月. / Submitted: 2010 nian 11 yue. / Adviser: Jenny F.

Mulberry and Peach is a novel written in the 1970s by a Chinese American writer named Nie Hualing (1925- ). It contains overlapping letters and diaries with flashbacks and flashforwards in first-person narration. Taohong is the new identity after Sangqing’s schizophrenia in the USA in 1969-1970. The book starts with Taohong’s letter, which introduces the main female character Sangqing´s life stories, told through her diaries between 1945-the 1970s in four places of her diasporic lives from mainland China to Taiwan, then the USA. The aim of this thesis is to explore the title of the book, the prologue and the epilogue, Sangqing’s first Dairy on Qutang Gorge (1945), and the four letters from Taohong, using the close reading method and combining the theories and concepts of characterization and symbolism, impressionistic, female aesthetic, intertextuality in literature and the cultural symbols for a deep and detailed text reading analysis.
