Pedagogies of Time: “Editing” Textbooks, Timelines, and Childhood Memories

Drawing on the concept of “pedagogies of time,” this article analyzes early literacy textbooks and our own childhood memories of temporal socialization in (post)Soviet Armenia, Georgia, and Latvia. While textbook analysis reveals purposeful socialization of children into modern linear timelines, memory stories interrupt these predetermined trajectories and shift attention toward multiple forms of temporalities that coexist alongside and entangle with each other. Using a speculative thought experiment, we “edit” a chronological timeline in one of the stories from early literacy textbooks as an attempt to simultaneously (re)write the dominant timespaces of socialist modernity and the way childhood appears there.

Regional Differences in the Quality of Rural Development in Guangdong Province and Influencing Factors

Achieving rural revitalization is the aim of building a strong modern socialist country. However, regional heterogeneity exists in rural development in general, and studying regional differences in rural development quality is an important prerequisite for developing specific policies for rural revitalization. This paper takes 20 prefecture-level cities in Guangdong Province as the research objects and constructs a rural-development-quality-evaluation system based on four dimensions: industrial revitalization, rural affluence, social development, and environmental livability; combines the entropy value method, hierarchical analysis method, and TOPSIS to complete the evaluation process; uses a spatial autocorrelation model and cold–hot spot analysis to explore the characteristics of regional heterogeneity of rural development in Guangdong Province; and relies on stepwise regression analysis to clarify the main influencing factors. The results show the following: (1) The average value of rural development quality in the province is 0.342, with “high in the middle and low in the surrounding area” as the main spatial characteristic. (2) The average value of environmental livability dimension is 0.580, and the high-value area is found in the northeastern part of the province. There is an outer circle distribution structure with Dongguan City as the core of the high-value area, and the score gradually decreases outward, while the average value of all other dimensions is less than 0.350. The mean value of all other dimensions is less than 0.350. (3) The social development dimension shows a cold–hot spot distribution of “hot in the northeast and low in the middle”, the rural development quality and other development dimensions show a cold–hot spot spatial pattern of “high value gathering in the middle and low value gathering in the northeast”, and there is no cold spot gathering in the environmental livability dimension. (4) The average collective assets and the construction rate of science-based communities are the main driving factors of rural development, while the coverage rate of service institutions and the Engel coefficient are the main hindering factors. This paper enriches the rural development level measurement system, clarifies the spatial differentiation and main influencing factors of rural development in Guangdong Province, and helps to provide scientific support and a theoretical basis for the differentiated promotion of rural revitalization.

Towards high-quality development: how does digital economy impact low-carbon inclusive development?: mechanism and path.

High-quality development is the primary task of building a modern socialist country in an all-around way. Innovation, coordination, green development, openness, and sharing are the main connotations of high-quality development. Based on panel data from 286 cities in China, this paper empirically analyzes the impact of the digital economy on low-carbon inclusive development (hereinafter referred to as LIG). The results show that the digital economy has a salient promoting effect on LIG, and with the increase of quantile level, the promoting effect shows a marginal decreasing trend. Heterogeneity analysis found that the cities with low resource dependence and marketization of the digital economy and high environmental concern and competition have more salient promoting effects on LIG. The dimensionality reduction analysis shows that the impact of digital economy on economic growth, social inclusion, and low-carbon ecology gradually increases in turn. The mechanism test shows that R&D investment, green innovation, and market integration play a partial mediating role, while entrepreneurial activity, industrial upgrading, and development imbalance play a fully mediating role. Digital economy promotes urban economic growth and low-carbon ecological development through R&D investment and market integration and mainly promotes low-carbon ecological development through green innovation. The digital economy will promote low-carbon and inclusive urban development by stimulating entrepreneurship, promoting industrial upgrading, and alleviating development imbalances.

Repressed Utopias vs. Utopian Repressions: Czech Countercultural Communal Living Arrangements in the ‘Normalization’ Era (1970–1989)

The present contribution aims to examine this specific historic ‘Second World’ phenomenon — the communal living arrangements attempted by counterculturally minded, predominantly working-class youth in post-1968 Czechoslovakia, often (though not exclusively) in the former German Sudetenland — as an instance of the potentials and limitations associated with an attempt at a ‘mobile commons’ in 20th-century state socialism. Not only is the legacy of the Czech communes (baráky) an insufficiently researched historical topic, but even further, the placement of this phenomenon between its reflection of the American communal-utopian tradition in its 1960s forms, the emerging critique of industrial modernity, the growth of 20th-century ‘civil-society’ concepts, and the ‘Cold War’ mobilities across the Iron Curtain (intellectual-cultural autarky versus forced political emigration) forms a highly fruitful starting point for wider considerations. Examination of the Czech countercultural communal-living attempts within the social framework of the ‘normalization’ order of the 1970s and 1980s — state repression, socialist modernity, anti-public familialism — finds that their character as communities of refuge, rather than as deliberate planned experiments, places them at a particularly unique angle to the utopian vs. antiutopian debates, indeed even calling into question the very premises of this opposition.

Triple Analysis of Characteristic University Culture Construction in the New Era from the Perspective of "Double First Class"

As an important topic of socialist modernization construction, the cultural construction of "Double First Class" universities is related to the realization of the centenary goal and the fundamental task of "cultivating morality and talents" in universities. Based on the new era, the construction of university characteristic culture has become the core task of the "Double First Class" construction. Characteristic culture can not only provide internal impetus for it, but also carry the spiritual heritage of its university. However, due to the issue of homogeneity in university culture, it is difficult to conceive distinctive cultures, and the construction of soft power in distinctive cultures has a single perspective and weak strength. At the same time, there are also problems such as insufficient innovation and connotation exploration in the construction of distinctive cultural carriers. In specific practice, efforts can be made to integrate the spirit of new era universities into the construction of university characteristic cultural carriers, while deepening the reform of the education system to promote the construction of university characteristic culture, and actively absorbing and integrating diverse university cultures from both domestic and foreign perspectives with an international perspective. Promote the construction of characteristic culture in "Double First Class" universities in multiple aspects, provide strong support for cultivating first-class talents, serving national strategic needs, and comprehensively realizing socialist modernization and power.

Research on the Strategy of Party Construction Work for College Students under the New Media Background

The party building work of college students is the top priority of political work in colleges and universities, but it has been affected by many factors in recent years, and its development stamina is obviously insufficient. In the new media era, while changing people's lifestyles, with its own advantages such as digitalization and interactivity, integration and penetration in higher education is more comfortable. It provides teachers and students with an interactive communication method and a three-dimensional network platform based on the network democracy mechanism of college students. The innovation of party building among college students has increased. The penetration of socialist ideas with Chinese characteristics has become more and more in-depth, which is more conducive to the training of qualified successors in social modernization.

Research on Digital Protection of Intangible Cultural Heritage Based on Digital Implantation

A large number of intangible cultural heritages (ICH), In the development process of the evolution of world history, have been born. In addition, these heritages preserve the most precious part of historical civilization and have high research value. However, in social modernization, these ICHs are gradually being destroyed, and their preservation is becoming increasingly difficult. The protection of ICH cannot be relaxed at any moment. With the progress of science and technology, digital technology has become one of the means to protect ICH, and also explored new ways for the inheritance of ICH. Therefore, it is necessary to use modern information technology to store and preserve ICH. With the rapid development of the information age, digital implantation technology has gradually entered all aspects of life. This technology was effectively applied to preserve animation in the early days effectively, later researchers found that this technology has an excellent effect on the preservation of ICH, so it has been widely used. This paper firstly summarizes the current domestic ICH protection situation and the corresponding foreign policies. On this basis, digital implantation is applied to the relevant core technologies of ICH protection. The Digital implantation technology model of ICH is analyzed to protect the current ICH effectively and will promote the sustainable development of ICH.

Research on Technology Foresight of Terminal Energy Consumption Based on Delphi Survey

In view of China's "carbon peak, carbon neutral" strategy, especially the important point of reaching the carbon peak by 2035 and achieving socialist modernisation, it is important to select a number of priority end-use energy consumption technology topics to promote the company's technological innovation. Based on the results of the two rounds of the Delphi survey, eight end-use energy consumption technologies with a "dual carbon" focus should be prioritised, namely: virtual power plant technology, electric vehicle technology, impact assessment and costing of carbon emissions and reduction, and carbon dioxide capture and storage technology. The results of the Delphi survey show that R&D investment, policy mechanisms and market viability are the main constraints to the completion of these technologies. In response to these constraints, relevant recommendations are made in terms of funding input, institutional development and market development.

Research on Ideological and Political Teaching Practice of Art Design

Under the new era background of insisting that higher education should serve the socialist modernization construction and people's life, it is of great historical significance to take moral construction and educating people as the fundamental task of higher education in China, and to introduce ideological and political theory into the creation and teaching of artistic design. Taking the practice of graphic media design course as an example, this paper expounds the importance of adding professional ideological and political elements in professional courses, finding effective entry points, and improving teaching quality. When increasing the ideological and political content of courses, we should seize the appropriate opportunity to adopt flexible and diverse integration methods. In the context of the current construction of new liberal arts, it is an important topic for art design teachers to explore and research in teaching practice to correctly and reasonably publicize socialist core values.

DENG XIAOPING'S THEORY OF BUILDING "SOCIALISM WITH CHINESE CHARACTERISTICS": THEORETICAL RECONSTRUCTION OF THE SOCIO-POLITICAL CONTENT OF THE CONCEPT

B a c k g r o u n d . Deng Xiaoping is considered the main architect of socialist reforms and the founder of China's modernization theory. He mastered and developed the socialist system, trying to adjust it to the national conditions of China. Deng Xiaoping believed that it was by following the course of "socialism with Chinese characteristics" that China would transform from a poor country into a highly developed one. The article provides a theoretical reconstruction of the main content of Deng Xiaoping's concept of "socialism with Chinese characteristics." The main philosophical and socio-political aspects of the concept of building socialism with Chinese characteristics are presented in a systematic form in the context of the foundations of Chineseization of Marxism. M e t h o d s . In the article, a historical-logical approach was used to reveal the specified research topic, which allowed us to determine the socio-political prerequisites for the emergence of Chineseized Marxism. An interdisciplinary approach made it possible to carry out a theoretical analysis of social, economic, and political changes in modern China, which were caused by the proposed theory of Deng Xiaoping's "socialism with Chinese characteristics". Systemic, structural-functional, and constructivist methods, as well as methods of synthesis and generalization, were also applied. R e s u l t s . Because of the above, the purpose of this study was to carry out a theoretical reconstruction of Deng Xiaoping's theory of building "socialism with Chinese characteristics" and to find out how his ideas influenced the development of modern China after the completion of the "Great Leap Forward" and the "Cultural Revolution" of Mao Zedong. The key features of Deng Xiaoping's proposed theory of "socialism with Chinese characteristics" were established, including the idea of democratization of society and implementation of the legal basis of state functioning; the beginning of a new period of "reforms and openness"; determining the course for socialist modernization; following Marxism-Leninism and the ideas of Mao Zedong. C o n c l u s i o n s . In conclusion, it can be noted that the main feature of Deng Xiaoping's ideas was that they were inextricably linked with the national and cultural traditions of Chinese civilization, starting from Confucianism and the gradual synthesis with Marxist ideology. Evaluating the theory of Deng Xiaoping, it can be defined as a relatively complete scientific system that covers the fields of philosophy, political economy, and scientific socialism, it contains the doctrine of socialist ideology, and the doctrine of the essence and ways of socialist development, theories of the reform of socialist political and economic systems, the theory of building a socialist country.

Guided Management of Rural Folk Beliefs under the Background of Rural Revitalization Strategy

The strategy of rural revitalization is a major measure taken by the country to solve the "three rural" problems, and is the only way in the process of realizing the goal of socialist modernization and strengthening the country. Rural revitalization strategy is a systematic project related to the overall development of rural areas, the sustainable development of rural economy, and the lasting prosperity of rural culture. Culture plays a leading role. The prosperity and development of culture can provide ideological guarantee, spiritual impetus, intellectual support and innovative development for economic development. In rural areas, there is a cultural phenomenon that cannot be ignored - folk belief, which is a local cultural phenomenon formed by farmers in the long agricultural production practice. Rural folk belief plays a recessive role in rural society. It is integrated into the daily life of the people, such as food, clothing, housing, marriage, funeral and marriage. It is one of the people's spiritual beliefs, and also a part of traditional culture. Examining the contemporary value of folk beliefs from the perspective of cultural research, and combining the current rural revitalization strategy implemented by the country, guiding management of rural folk beliefs can not only innovate the development of traditional culture, but also help the development of rural economy and promote the implementation of the rural revitalization strategy.

Re-training vocational education to nurture craftsmen for the new era

A great nation rises, craftsmanship builds dreams. The working class occupies the position of the leading class in China, as the main force of reform and opening up as well as the construction of socialist modernisation. The construction of the new era of socialist economy with Chinese characteristics cannot be separated from the new era of craftsmanship, however, to carry forward the spirit of craftsmanship, excellent professional knowledge and skills is an indispensable quality of the workers group. Therefore, we should focus on the development of vocational education, comprehensively improve the level of vocational education, provide more skilled personnel support for regional modernisation, breed new-age craftsmen in line with the development requirements of the times, motivate the majority of young people to take the road of skills to become a success and serve the country with their skills, accelerate the construction of an army of knowledge-based, skilled and innovative workers, and provide strong talent support for the comprehensive construction of a modernised socialist country.

ОСОБЕННОСТИ РАЗВИТИЯ ВОЗОБНОВЛЯЕМЫХ ИСТОЧНИКОВ ЭНЕРГИИ В СТРАНАХ-ЧЛЕНАХ ШОС (НА ПРИМЕРЕ КНР)

After many years of development, the global energy transformation has moved from a period of initial accumulation to a period of comprehensive build-up, which contributes to the accelerated evolution and reconstruction of the global energy and industrial system. The energy revolution in China is on the rise: the country has already formed a multi-purpose supply system. China is now well positioned to accelerate the transformation in the field of alternative energy. However, the problem of unbalanced and insufficient use is still relevant for Celestial Empire (China). The level of modernization of the national production chain, as well as its security, needs to be improved, and building a modern power system has both advantages and clear disadvantages. Over the past few years, China has been actively promoting the development and use of “green energy”. The 14th Five-Year Plan (2021–2025) is the first Five-Year Plan for the People’s Republic of China, from which a new path for the comprehensive construction of a modern socialist state begins. As part of that plan, the goal of achieving carbon neutrality in China by 2060 was also put forward. The direction of energy development of the “14th Five-Year Plan” is of decisive importance, which will directly affect the medium and long-term trends of China’s economic and social development.

Research on Influence Mechanism of Marketization Process Based on Big Data Analysis under the Background of the Cybereconomy

The cybereconomy provides new momentum for the traditional economy, adds new formats and models, and is the main momentum for China’s economic progression. Therefore, the cybereconomy level of 30 provinces in China from 2011 to 2019 is measured by constructing a comprehensive index system and an econometric model to explore the impact of the cybereconomy on the marketization process and its internal mechanism. The results show that the cybereconomy has significantly promoted the development of the marketization process, and government intervention has inhibited the promotion of the cybereconomy to the marketization process. The research result has crucial academic and realistic significance to accelerate marketization, enhance the overall innovation ability, and build a modern socialist country.

Exploring the Practice of Social Work to Foster Rural Community Formation in the Context of Rural Revitalization—A Case Study of Village H in Jinwan District, Zhuhai City, Guangdong Province

At the 19th National Congress of the Communist Organization of China (CPC), a major historical mission to construct a prosperous society and a modern socialist nation was undertaken, with the strategy of reviving the countryside being a major decision. This was in addition to the general comprehension of the "three rural areas" in the new era. On October 16, 2022, leader proposed in the report of the 20th National Congress to comprehensively promote rural revitalization. Social work, as a powerful professional team, is essential in rural construction. To ensure this, it is essential to prioritize agriculture and rural areas, integrate urban and rural areas, and facilitate the interchange of urban and rural elements. Additionally, it is essential to vigorously encourage the revival of rural industry, culture, ecology, and organization. This paper takes village H in Guangdong Province as an example to explore the practical experience of social work participation in rural community creation through professional techniques and also discusses the results of social work participation in rural revitalization.

Construction and Empirical Analysis of the Index System of High-quality Development of Manufacturing in China

Promoting high-quality development of manufacturing is not only an important part of promoting high-quality economic development, but also an inevitable requirement for deepening supply-side structural reform, as well as an objective requirement for comprehensively building a great modern socialist country. Based on the basic requirement of manufacturing high-quality development, this paper builds evaluation index system from two dimensions of “source” and “fruit”, containing six secondary indicators: innovationdriven, intellectualization-driven, service-driven, high added-value, high productivity, high efficiency. Then, we measure the high-quality development level of 30 provinces and 27 manufacturing sub-industries in China from 2011 to 2019 by using the ″Vertical-Horizontal″ Wide Range. We find that the overall high-quality development level of manufacturing industry is on the rise; By region, the high-quality development level of manufacturing industry is normally distributed, showing obvious regional heterogeneity of “strong east and weak west”. By industry, the sub-industries of the manufacturing industry have improved their high-quality development level to varying degrees, showing a good development trend. However, most of the molecular industries in China’s manufacturing industry are at a lower level, and only a small part is at a higher level. Based on this, the path of high-quality development of manufacturing industry lies in encouraging enterprise innovation, promoting supply-side structural reform, highlighting the integrated development of industries and driving intelligent manufacturing.
