FreeRange story - 一个文化传播事件的定量研究

"一个文化传播事件的定量研究"

很多人都收到过恼人的“连锁信(chain letter)”,以短信或电子邮件或信件的形式,要求你将它转寄给多少位亲戚朋友,否则就会遭受天谴等等难听的诅咒,这种信非常让人火大。 在web2.0时代,“连锁信”也出现了变种,譬如最近有1.5亿用户的社交网站Facebook流行叫“25 Random Things About Me”的连锁信,要求转寄给25位Facebook好友,然后以指数级的规模向外扩散。它的传播模式有几分类似于病毒,也会变异进化(最初连锁信的名字叫“16 Random Things”,不久蜕变到15、17、22、35乃至100,最后25成为竞争的获胜者)。Slate的一位生物学家对此传播进行了一番调查研究,他将其代人到“易受感染-被感染-复原”的疾病传播模型中,此事件的传播因子为 0.27。就像传染病,整件事的流行和消亡同样迅速。从用户参与的数量上看,峰值只维持了几天,随后就以崩溃的速度下跌。

FreeRange story - Taiwan's economy: Mirror, mirror on the wall

"Taiwan's economy: Mirror, mirror on the wall"

The ugliest economy of them all?

WHICH economy has been hit hardest by the global slump? In its back pages and on its website The Economist tracks 55 countries each week. Based on industrial production, Taiwan has suffered much the biggest shock. Output fell by 32% in the 12 months to December; in the fourth quarter it plunged at an annual rate of 62%. GDP figures, due on February 18th, will be grim.

Taiwan is one of the world’s most export-dependent economies, making many high-tech gadgets for Western consumers, so it has been battered by the slump in global demand. Exports plunged by a record 44% in the year to January. The slide in exports has been exacerbated by a drying up of trade credit. This partly explains why imports also fell by 57% over the period. Exports may therefore partly recover as credit improves. But Taiwan’s competitiveness has been eroded by its relatively strong currency. The New Taiwan dollar has appreciated by more than 40% against the South Korean won since the start of 2008. ...

FreeRange story - “The War of the Roses”: Cate and the king

"“The War of the Roses”: Cate and the king"

Queenly Cate Blanchett turns her attention to Richard II

CATE BLANCHETT is known for the pale beauty of her face and her vivid film performances. Her latest work marks a significant change of pace. As the curtain rises at the Sydney Theatre, she sits centre-stage, a still figure in a white blouse and trousers, blond hair, high cheekbones. A storm of golden petals drifts down from the ceiling, and she wears a crown.

It has become fairly commonplace for film actors to star in London’s West End and on Broadway, but this transposition is different. Miss Blanchett is playing the king in Shakespeare’s “Richard II”, in the first part of a rigorously condensed version of the eight history plays. Miss Blanchett and her husband, Andrew Upton, have become artistic directors of the Sydney Theatre Company, an organisation which already has a fine opinion of itself. “In so far as there is a National Theatre in Australia, the Sydney Theatre Company is it,” says Rob Brookman, the general manager. ...

FreeRange story - What do you think?

"What do you think?"

A special poll on middle-class attitudes

ECONOMIC studies of the middle classes are plentiful, but opinion-poll research—especially involving international comparisons—is thin on the ground. So The Economist asked the Pew Research Center to trawl through its Global Attitudes database for this special report.

Pew looked at 13 middle-income countries in which the middle class is large or growing and classified their responses to questions about religion, democracy, life satisfaction, homosexuality and the environment by income. The threshold it used for “middle-classness” was a self-reported income of $4,286 a year in 2007 PPP dollars, consistent with the range of $4,000-17,000 a year used by the World Bank. Pew then compared these answers with the rest of the sample. Its middle-class group included the rich (defined as those with over $17,000 a year), but their numbers were not statistically significant. The survey therefore compares the attitudes of the global middle class with those of the poor in the same countries. Andrew Kohut, the Pew Research Center’s president, describes it as “the most comprehensive analysis of the ways in which the middle class in emerging markets differs in its attitudes to life and society”. ...

FreeRange story - The other Moore's law


FreeRange user yuebai li wanted you to see this:

"The other Moore's law"

“No bourgeoisie, no democracy”; Barrington Moore may have had a point after all

In December 2008, 300 people in China risked arrest to sign and distribute a document called Charter 08. It demanded the abolition of Communist Party rule, free elections, a new constitution, separation of powers, an independent judiciary and freedom of expression, assembly and religion. Charter 08 was not a specifically middle-class manifesto. Its most notable—and, to the Communist government, alarming—feature was the wide range of those who had signed it: farmers, former party officials, dissidents from the Tiananmen Square era, a Tibetan blogger.

But the signatories did include representatives of China’s new middle class, especially lawyers active in the so-called “rights movement” who take up cases involving property law and environmental protection. The document calls for the protection of private property, a quintessentially middle-class concern everywhere. Although the official media stifled news of the charter, discussion of it quickly spread on the internet, the favourite medium of China’s new middle class. Within a week 5,000 people had added their signatures. ...
