- summary: Many theoretical and intellectual controversies over the cognitive nature of the post-1960s democratic movements have persisted unresolved and extended into arguments about the characteristics of global social movements. Global social movements (GSMs) are defined as ‘conscious efforts to build transnational cooperation around shared goals that include social change’ (Smith 1997, 59; Keck and Sikkink 1998; see also Cohen and Rai 2000a; O'Brien, et al. 2000).10

- summary: Any cognisance that might be taken of Māori law would thereafter be interpreted through the prism of the common law into which it was subsumed. In the context of the Tribunal’s interpretation of Allocation of Radio Frequencies Report (1990), a diachronic view of Māori time is taken by the Tribunal which acknowledges changes in relations through time and protection for many kinds of material and taonga (treasures), such as haka (dances) and whakapapa (genealogies), though it has yet to pronounce on intellectual property.

- flesch: 45
- summary: The region has been the epicentre of numerous overlapping conflicts: between oil bearing/host communities and oil companies (mainly over land rights or compensation for ecological damage); between oil producing communities and the government (over increased access to oil wealth); and between and among ethnic groups (over claims to land ownership and sharing of amenities). The discovery of oil in commercial quantities by this company stimulated the interests of other oil companies in the late 1950s, namely: Mobil Exploration Nigeria Ltd, an affiliate of the American Socony-Mobil Oil Company; Tennessee Nigeria Inc. (1960), an affiliate of the American Tennessee Gas Transmission; Nigerian Gulf oil Co (1962), an affiliate of American Gulf Oil Company; and Nigerian AGIP Oil Co (1962), an affiliate of the Italian government-owned ENI (Schatzl 1969).

- summary: But I know that I carried with me the conviction that Playa Abierta was mine forever: the impromptu cruises in my uncle’s yacht when family and friends would come together for a day’s fishing expedition; the volleyball games with a mobile community of young people who seemed to just drift in and out; the horseback rides, the picnics. Fifty metres above the coastal plain of Playa Abierta was a deep and mysterious cave.

- date: 2005-08-10
- words: 4840
- flesch: 48
- summary: I am well aware that this discursive system does not exist independently of the economic and political conditions that produce it; however, I would argue that this system qua system is worthy of examination on its own terms because it illuminates the position that New Zealand culture occupies in the imagination of New Zealanders. In particular, the discursive system of Pavement operates to elevate New Zealand culture per se as ‘cultivated’ and the result of a discerning, and hence ‘niche’, sensibility—as part of a project that sustains and develops ‘the best of what has been thought and said’.

- date: 2005-08-10

- flesch: 43
- summary: Pratt Imagining Union 2005 becoming much more complex, aligned to resurgent national interests in the wake of the war in Iraq, unmanageable socio-economic situations, and, significantly, an increasingly xenophobic positioning of the Eastern reaches of the Union (former Soviet satellites, a Turkey characterised as un-European on religious grounds).2 Whether welcomed as a significant achievement, or—more often—critically dissected, the document was largely considered, at least by the EU and its acolytes, as a milestone in the march towards European commonality, a ‘constitutive moment’ (Chopin 2003),3 in that it made explicit a concern about European cultural identity, which, hitherto, had been subordinated to economic or political concerns. Confronted with divergent responses from its European ‘allies’ to the Second Gulf War, Donald Rumsfeld elaborated further on his commander-in-chief’s ‘with us or against us’ dictum by redefining Europe as two competing camps: European nations were either ‘old’ (read irrelevant, overly independent—perhaps even over-partial to cheese—simian and cowardly, as the ideological rhetoric escalated) or ‘new’ (read largely ex-Communist, ripe for economic and ideological ‘development’ and about to become imbricated in military debt to the world’s remaining superpower).

- summary: In Arcadia Alistair Fox, University of Otago As one of the early reviewers of Ben Okri’s most recent novel—In Arcadia (2002)— affirmed, ‘you cannot fault Okri for confronting the big issues and asking questions of our secular age that few of his contemporaries have the innocence or bravery to attempt’ (Adams 2002). Critics who admired Okri’s earlier novel, The Famished Road (1992), for which he won the Booker Prize, almost universally see In Arcadia as a sad falling away from that accomplishment: ‘In Arcadia is the antithesis of that book.

That is, the mirror held up by Almost French, rather than simply reflecting an Australian view back to Australian readers, allows us to see what those Curious French might think of us.

- summary: This connects with various forms of militancy, the politicisation of colonial history, and the manipulation (or instrumentalisation) of colonial issues for present-day political purposes. Plans for a national museum of colonial history, to be sited in Marseille, were scuppered because of arguments among those who considered themselves moral stakeholders—national and local authorities, curators and historians, and the public, including pieds-noirs and the descendants of those colonised by the French.

US feminist organization NOW (National Organisation of Women) argued that women be included in the military fighting in Vietnam (Ueno 2004, 167) and on the front during the 1991 Iraq war.

- summary: Portal is also one of the few international journals that provide a space in which articles and creative products in English and other languages can, and do, sit side by side.12 This is, therefore, a very suitable site for reflecting on the spaces between languages, between cultures and between disciplines. A total of three events were held, two at the University of Technology, Sydney (UTS) and one at the University of Melbourne, convened by Stephanie Hemelryk Donald and Vera Mackie, 10 See, however, the inclusion of words from other languages in Ania Walwicz’s poetry (1989: 83), and Sneja Gunew’s discussion of Walwicz’s poetry (1994: 90–92).

- summary: Women are largely excluded from the political process by both the conservative elite and the electorate as the prevailing traditions look unfavourably on the political activity of women and question the ability of women in politics (Kim and Chin 1996, 127; Moon 2003). As part of their demands, measures of affirmative action for women including quotas have been introduced; leading to an increase in the number of women politicians in recent elections, but indications are that their advancement will be slow and gradual rather than by a sudden substantial expansion.

Nous nous efforcerons cependant de présenter, suivant un parcours à la fois chronologique et théorico-disciplinaire, quelques grandes perspectives possibles sur la francophonie, quelques formes de discours repérables, quelques grands choix épistémologiques ou pragmatiques qui sont à la base de nos appréhensions de la francophonie.

- summary: 3 ‘Take-off’ of the academic study of memory This ‘turn to memory’ has been paralleled in the academic field as memory studies has emerged over the past two decades as an interdisciplinary field in its own right, with specialist journals, conferences, research centres (The Centre for the Study of Cultural Memory at the University of London offers degree programs) and publications such as Memory Studies (from 2008) and the longer-established History and Memory (from 1990). Its declared aim is ‘to put a stop to this movement toward laws aimed at controlling history memory’ (‘Blois Appeal’ 2008).

- summary: In her extensive work on translingual practice, Lydia Liu (1995) refers to this as a problem of translation between ‘guest’ and ‘host’ languages.1 Liu is interested not only in linguistic aspects, but also cultural ones of exchange, including the background of unequal power relations between ‘guest’ and ‘host’ languages, the universalising processes of modernity, as well as problems of difference and incommensurability that affect the reception of Chinese texts in the English speaking world. I have the right to determine when my life ‘begins’, and where it ‘ends’ (Chinese version, 155).

This paper uses historical, cultural and textual analysis to explore the life of Marie Byles, a significant conservationist and Buddhist, as simultaneously Eastern1 and Australian through her travel writing, her interpretations of Buddhist texts for English reading audiences, and her environmentalism.

- summary: Roland Tolentino’s article, ‘Bodies, Letters, and Catalogs: Filipinas in Transnational Space’ (1996) serves as an example of the blurring of boundaries between several categories of women workers and migrants. My aim here is to reconsider some of the scholarly and popular depictions of so-called ‘mail order brides’ as ‘trafficked’ women; to question what I consider the warranted and unwarranted blurs that subtly or explicitly enter some of the scholarly and activist literature on ‘mail order brides’; and to highlight heterogeneity in the experiences, circumstances, and expressions of agency of women who meet men through correspondence.

Hans Stimmann, the City of Berlin’s building commissioner between 1991 and 1996–– and a figure who appears several times in Hubertus Siegert’s film Berlin Babylon (2001a)––represented a restorationist tendency in the debate (figure 6).

While many other developed countries have implemented greenhouse gas initiatives, the USA became mired in the debate over the actual existence of global warming (McCright & Dunlap 2003), the prudence of developing policy in the perceived lack of scientific information in support of global warming (Leiserowitz 2006), and the ways to go about reducing greenhouse gas emissions (McCarl & Schnieder 2000; Rose & Oladosu 2002).

- summary: However, more specific literature on the normative characteristics of deliberative processes helps to flesh out these principles, particularly the latter three. One of the reasons that standardisation is unlikely to help to deliver greater influence is that different countries have substantially different political systems and, as a result, the appropriate role for mini-publics differs across countries (Dryzek 2011).

- summary: As a result, it raises critical definitional questions that inhibit determining long-term goals for addressing global climate change. Finally, it does offer some common ground for getting recalcitrant (yet differently positioned) countries like the USA and China to join in the global effort to combat global climate change, both through an incentivized approach based on technology and clean economies, as well as long-term 10 ‘Contraction’ is the reducing of global GHG emissions, and ‘convergence’ is the closing of the gap between per capita emissions between the affluent and the developing countries to a level (in the future) where ultimately emission outputs are equal for every person.

- summary: It appears that the position of the author having been involved in the punk and post punk scene as fans, musicians, promoters, and rock journalists is seen to be significant, especially in the marketing of such books. This may be partly explained by the fan and musician demographic of punk compared to hip hop—with punk fans and musicians generally being white and, therefore, having more access to education and the kind of cultural capital required to develop an academic career.

- flesch: 48
- summary: Conceptualizing global climate governance In general terms, climate governance is the structure of authority that encompasses global climate policy: as a mode of governance, rather than simply government, it involves a range of state and non-state players, and is a field of practice rather than simply a set of institutions. The approach taken in this paper positions such disorder, centring on a contest over the meaning of climate justice, at the core of global climate governance.

Vidal, J. 2009a, ‘Copenhagen Climate Summit in Disarray after “Danish Text’ Leak,’ The Guardian, 8 December. Climate Change, Copenhagen and Psycho-social Disorder Jonathan Paul Marshall, University of Technology, Sydney Given the obvious dangers of climate change, the failure of the 2009 Copenhagen Climate Conference requires social theorists to investigate reasons for the breakdown that go beyond pointing out the fear of change, describing denial, talking of conflict between particular power-blocks, demanding justice, or positing that the ruling class is determined to make money at the expense of the ecological system and their own survival.

- summary: The motive is therefore two-fold, but the result is the manufacture of something new, whether it be a recontexualisation of canon rock music in the form of new ‘retro’ music, or the recontextualisation of a recording in the form of a remaster. Here, all things ‘retro’ oriented are, therefore, new, borrowed, rebuilt and reflavoured by contemporary popular music.

- summary: Many of these criticisms depend on social scientific epistemes that are themselves being criticised by Mignolo, so my initial focus here will be on the status of the episteme itself. Unconscious classifications may involve accommodations to ‘social powers’ from outside, certainly, but they also help us to overcome the threat from within, for the transition to ‘verbal expression’ can induce ‘the release of the physiological process, that is, the reorganization, in a favourable direction, of the process to which [a person experiencing pain] is subjected’ (1977: 198).

- summary: The Catholic aestheticisation of Polish suffering in Górecki’s work is also one of the points through which the symphony should be interrogated in relation to ethical discussions of Holocaust representation. The question of such definitions cuts across some of the most contested issues in Holocaust studies, and in this article, I make no moral claims either way as to whether Polish non-Jewish suffering should be considered part of ‘the Holocaust,’ or about how such a construct as ‘the Holocaust’ is most properly defined.

- summary: The communicative aspect is combined with its educative properties (‘teach but not preachy’) and its double voiced tendency to create a rhetorical linguistic device and it is this unified process that Gates views as paramount in the construction of African American literary works. Floyd establishes a link between language and music early on, drawing on Burlin’s (1919) account of spoken and sung call-and- response figures in black worship ceremonies, Tonsor’s (1892) claim of ‘slave songs … disappearing “before the triumphant march of Gospel Hyms,”’ and Tindley’s (1905) modelling of hymn arrangements on African American rhetorical practices, from which he concludes: ‘The spiritual and the black declamatory style went hand in hand, simply because they both emerged from the same source: African intonations, inflections, and rhythmic conventions applied to a new language and linguistic style in the context of a new religion’ (Floyd 1995a: 62).

- summary: For the implementation of hugely popular measures to keep refugees out of Australian territory by successive Australia governments is reminiscent of the garrison mentality of White Australia that held sway at a time when the desire to maintain a closely guarded boundary around Australia as a distinct and separate island-continent was the order of the day. In particular, ‘Australia’ as the space of the South is figured as haunted as much by the spectre of invasion from its North—a haunting that resonates with earlier anxieties about the spectre of Asianization (as well as Sinicization) of Australia that the White Australia policy sought to exorcize—as by the ghostly presence of Chinese geo- elemental forces that flow across the anxious landscape of the nation.

- summary: In such company she is introduced too to the sinister underside of Soviet life in the mid-thirties: the poet who writes verse that cannot be published because it is not propaganda undergoes a transformation in the company of the man from the Cheka: ‘I care only to write propaganda poems for the Soviet World State’ (39). Moscow Excursion, however, is a less straightforward and more ambivalent record of the Soviet journey than this might suggest: on the one hand parodying the ‘truth about Russia’ book (Katharine Susannah Prichard’s The Real Russia, also published in 1934, is a prime example, albeit one unlikely to have been known to Travers); and on the other, in its blend of self-deprecation, humour, irony and whimsy illustrating the conflicting responses—hope, scepticism and disillusion—so often evoked by the encounter with Soviet reality.

- summary: In her view (2001: 212), women artists from the colonies who embraced cosmopolitanism contributed significantly to metropolitan culture. International mobility defines engagement with this strand of modernism; hence the expatriate process of artists living outside their country of birth to complete their training, further their career or gain new experience was fundamental to their careers as modern artists.

The careers of Louise Mack and Arthur Maquarie, among many others, offer insights into the conditions of literary life for Australian writers in London circa 1900, and an opportunity to reconsider how such writers might figure in the literary and social history of their period.

- summary: Unlike the movements of lascars and traders from coastal regions, which have been central to the revisionist histories of the Indian Ocean, Sikh migrations from Punjab have not featured in oceanic dialogues. After the end of the Anglo-Sikh war in 1848–49, the young Prince Duleep Singh was banished to England and Nihal Singh (Bhai Maharaj Singh) was deported to Singapore.9 This history of the forced migration of exiles and convicts that is older than that of the military disrupts the homogenous discourse of Sikh migration as a reward to Sikhs for their loyalty to the British.

Consequently the Western publishing industry realised the marketability of these books, and since 2001 hundreds of titles by and about Middle Eastern women have been published in the West, with a significant proportion by and about Iranian women.

While I argue for the inclusion of political groups within the Genocide Convention, I also question what use such an inclusion would be to the victims of these atrocities.

The results show that verbal discrimination is mainly triggered by a perceived transgression of the normalised standards of people’s behaviour, movements and appearance in a heterosexist society.

- summary: Or, in the case of acts such as Miranda’s, and indeed of most torturers, we must understand the relation between the performance of acts of what we call internationally “crimes against humanity”—and are readily understood as breeches of oedipal law—when they are sanctioned by the law of the state.5 That is, it is helpful to understand how the rendering of the unacceptable in oedipal law—described by Miranda as ‘whatever your mother urgently whispered you were never to do’—is experienced by the perpetrator when it becomes acceptable in positive law. For some perpetrators in a war however, the confusion of the contradictions between oedipal law and the positive commands of war (what we can call positive law) promote neither post-trauma nor remorse.

- summary: Food is explored both in terms of ‘real world’ issues and as representation, often simultaneously, which attests to the tremendous value of food for understanding culture and identity. Anderson draws on a range of fictional texts by Oceanian writers, mainly from the French-speaking Pacific, to reflect on the meaning and function of food in relation to indigenous identity in the face of colonisation and the belief that modernisation will lead to the adoption of metropolitan food practices.

- summary: The concept ‘Women in Asia’ is problematic since some of the major debates in gender or women’s studies have focused on the diversity of women’s life worlds and beings and the contested nature of the term ‘Asia’. Women represented the backward and barbaric traditions of native society, and the necessity for the renovation of tradition thus became increasingly based on debates about the rights and status of women, and the colonisation of minds as well as bodies (Nandy 1983).

PORTAL Vol. 4, No.1, January 2007 Wang, Yiyan Literary Nativism, the Native Place and Modern Chinese Fiction 5 叛,寻找文化本源的需要反映了对另类意识形态的需求。从四十年代开始,共 产党长期便自称是深知中国大众心态及中华民族起源的权威,寻根文学对官方 意识形态的有力挑战是通过对乡村家族族谱的地域性文化传统的求证来实现 的 7 Jeffrey Kinkley, ‘Shen Congwen and the Use of Regionalism in Modern Chinese Literature’, Modern Chinese Literature 1 (2) 1985, pp. 157-83. PORTAL Vol. 4, No.1, January 2007 Wang, Yiyan Literary Nativism, the Native Place and Modern Chinese Fiction 6 景,语言以及其它特色以追求富于地域风格的叙事传统。文学的本土性可以概 括为如下表现:文本主题旨在构建本土场域;叙述风格尽可能(重新)开创“本 土”叙事形式;在追求“本土”传统时表现出对异国文学传统的意识。 带有本土倾向的叙述策略可以属于,或者衍生于“在地的”叙事传统。许多作 家,如汪曾祺、贾平凹等,避免叙述语言的欧化,也尽量排除“毛语”的痕 迹。本人提出文学的本土性不是就一部小说或一篇散文的风格而言,也无意于 将作者归类为称作某种“流派”,而是着意于提供一个新的有创见性的分析框 架,以便系统地研究在现当代中国文学作品真真切切的故乡热土,可触可摸的 本土意识。文学的本土性因此也可以被视为一种可以谋求的写作立场,用来辨 别、比较、讨论作品在本土意识方面的共同属性与差别。笔者希望以此将文学 作品的本土性与本土场域的构建结合起来,并以此探讨中国现当代文学特殊的 文化政治过程,即现当代中国小说如何在构建在地的文化身份时借机参与国族 叙述,同时也尽量表述文本自身的本土性。 具体说来,如果文学的本土性包括主题和叙述风格两个方面,笔者认为沈从 文、老舍、汪曾祺、贾平凹等人的作品堪称典范。鲁迅、阿城、李锐等人的作 品本土性也很强,但其作品的本土性严格说来只是部分的而不是全方位的,因 为,虽然其作品的主题包含了极大的“本土关怀”,非常专注地以“中国特 色”建构故乡的本土场域,但是从风格上讲,他们的写作从其它传统中借鉴了 很多叙述策略,因此他们的叙述风格基本上是外来的,非本土的。金庸的武侠 小说,二月河的通俗历史想象,及其类似的章回历史小说等等,属于“部分” 本土文学的另外一类,即叙述风格的本土回归。他们的小说使传统白话文小说 得以重生,尤其是再现了中国小说与历史叙述之间的高度互文性。遗憾的是他 们的通俗历史想象无意于创造本土场域,故乡也好,国族也好,并非关注的焦 点所在。因此,笔者将其归属于“部分本土性文本”。笔者在此也顺便说明, 由于本人目前关注的是现当代中国小说中的本土场域构建,因此武打小说,历 史小说,戏剧,电影,诗歌和其它类型中的文学本土主义和本土地域的创作均 未在此讨论。 本土主义运动,无论目标是政治独立还是领土主权,自我意识的觉醒是前提, 而自我意识的觉醒又取决于对外族强势的认知。文学上的本土意识也是如此, 不可能与生俱来,而只能在接触谙熟异国文学传统以后,在文化之间的相互作 用下产生发展。当然,跨文化交流往往也是帝国强权,殖民统治,或全球化影 响带来的结果。缘此种种,文学本土主义是殖民主义和后殖民主义的一个间接 产品,文学本土主义是对文学创作、生产、消费、阅读国际化的一种反应,也 是文化国族主义的必然成分。如同国族主义在中国政治历史上发挥了主要作用 那样,文学本土意识在当代中国文学作品中,尤其是在近十年,也是一个重要 现象。相对于中国作家日益书写“地方”而思考国族身份与国际政治来说,文 学本土主义也日益成为一个对全球化过程的具自我意识的回应。无论是作为对 主导的意识形态的“反动”行为,还是回应他者或异族带来的威胁,在大量当 代中国作家的作品中都可以清楚地看到地方文化空间的建构,如阿城、韩少 功、贾平凹、莫言、苏童、陈忠实、阿来、王安忆等诸多人。与此同时,他们 PORTAL Vol. 4, No.1, January 2007 Wang, Yiyan Literary Nativism, the Native Place and Modern Chinese Fiction 7 的作品探究国族问题时也表达普遍的人类关怀,这样的探索是通过对故乡的追 忆叙述实现的。笔者希望在此通过分析现当代中国文学有代表性的文本,深入 观察本土写作使用“故乡”表述地方文化空间的现象,从而设立文学本土主义 的框架,以检验中国文学中的本土性。 在文学本土主义的模式内可以同时检验许多同源术语:“乡土文学”,“寻根 文学”,“新写实小说”,“市井文学”,“地域文学”,“城市文学”甚至 一些“实验小说”。在这里“城市文学”的作品需要进一步解析,尽管有些城 市文学的叙事背景是市井中心,但城市文学,尤其是近期的一些作品,主要关 注当代城市生活的“现代性”,而不是将城市作为故乡家园的所在地,例如邱 华栋近年来的一些作品。 8 如同李洁非所言,城市文学决定性的特征在于其对 商业活动和白领工人的生活方式的张扬,其作品描写出使城市居民彼此间变得 日益陌生的当代城市氛围。 9 但城市文学的文化空间是多元的,有跨国性的, 甚至有时也不排除地域性、乡土性,比如前文提到的描写当代上海的小说。罕 瑞·弗豪(Heinrich Fuehaul)认证城市文学中往往张扬“市井异国情调” (urban exoticism),同时将异国情调赋予当代跨国跨文化的城市经验。 10 文学 本土主义在“市井文学”中表现相当强烈,本地文化空间成为叙述的要点。老 舍的北京题材可以视为一个很好的市井本土主义的例子,邓友梅笔下的北京和 冯骥才笔下的天津也是如此。市井文学的共同之处是致力于地方文化的重现, 甚至到了迷恋地方文化实践的地步。 现当代中国的历史取向决定了政治对文学形成了全面的宏观控制,无论作家们 是顺应时势还是抵抗主流意识形态,文学批评往往根据历史的进程来观察分析 文学作品。跟随政治和历史的时段划分的结果是,作品之间、不同写作风格之 间的有机联系被疏漏忽略了。文学本土主义的框架不受历史进程的囿限,能够 跨时空地同时检验不同时期,不同地区的,但均以故乡为本土场域的不同文 本。 中国当前越来越多的学者通过宏观认识现当代文学的大潮,非常关注地域身份 和文学生产之间的关系,地域文化的研究今年著述甚丰,“本土写作”的术语 也应运而生,成为文学批评中使用频率颇高的语汇。一九九五年陈晓明编辑出 版了《中国新本土小说精选》,在前言中陈氏强调指出作者自身主体定位的重 要性造就了在后殖民背景下本土写作的必然性,后殖民写作时本土文学和乡土 文学的差异有两个重要因素,即作者想象中的观众和作者对观众的态度。陈晓 明认为,本土写作侧重国际观众,而乡土文学则为国民观众书写他们喜爱的田 园主题,因此 能代表乡土文学的作家是刘绍棠和孙犁。陈氏将文学本土主义 视为一个不断演变的过程,指出在 1980 年与 1990 年间的中国本土写作在自我 8 邱华栋:《都市风情小说》,北京师范大学出版社, 1999 年版。 9 李洁非:《城市像框》,山西教育出版社,1999

- summary: 民族主义 1 在二十世纪九十年代在中国飙升,曾引起学界广泛的关注。 2 中国 民族主义思潮高涨的背景,是以“六四”事件为标志的中国政治现代化(民主 化)事业的严重挫折。这样一种历史因缘,促使人们更深入地思考中国政治民 主化与民族主义的关系。矢志追求中国宪政民主的当代中国自由主义者如何因 应民族主义,确是饶有兴味的课题。大致说来,当代中国自由主义者表达了三 个主要观点:民族主义妨害民主化、民族主义危害国家利益、人权高于主权。 1 民族主义一词有很多用法。在本文中,民族指的是现实中或想象中的文化和政治社群;民族 主义则同时指以本民族为中心的思想信条和以本民族为忠诚对象的情感。这种思想信条和情感 可以表现为旨在构建一个民族、追求民族独立、维护民族统一、捍卫民族主权和扩张本民族的 经济利益甚至于领土的各种活动和运动。参阅安德森(B.Anderson):《被想象出来的社群》 (Imagined Communities),伦敦,1983 年版;格尔纳(E.Gellner):《民族和民族主义》 (Nations and Nationalism),牛津,1983 年版;史密斯(A.D.Smith):《关于民族主义的 理论》(Theories of Nationalism),伦敦,1983 年版。实际上,在现代的各种民族主义运 动中,“民族”在更确切的意义上是“民族国家”,因为其重心是“国”而不是“族”、“民族构 建”实为“国家构建”、“民族利益”也往往由国家来决定。不过,严格意义上的“民族国家” 并不存在,并没有一个“国家”和一个单一“民族” 完全重合。地球上第一个“民族国家”英 国便是由英格兰、苏格兰、威尔士、爱尔兰等多个民族构成的。 2 参阅Jonathan Unger, Chinese Nationalism, M. E. Sharpe, 1996; Yongnian Zheng, Discovering Chinese Nationalism in China, Cambridge University Press, 1999; PORTAL Vol. 4, No.1, January 2007 8 http://www.bjzc.org/bjs/bc/2002/4/11 http://xinsheng.net/articles/2004/8/7 Feng, Chongyi Liberalism and Nationalism in Contemporary China 现现代化的途径来抵制侵略),但热烈追求西方典范的中国人往往又会被扣上洋 奴、买办、汉奸的帽子。很多中国人长期将西方文明和西方霸权混为一谈,并 因为反对西方霸权而导向对西方文明的抵制。 当代中国的自由主义者总结了历史的经验教训,认为中国在二十世纪九十年代 以来高扬民族主义,不仅对内危害中国民主化的事业,而且在对外关系中危害 中国的国家利益。他们主张理性地区分西方文明和西方霸权,在反对西方霸权 的时候绝不反对西方文明,在学习西方文明的时候也忘不了反对西方霸权以维 护国家利益。而且他们认为国家利益是国民个体利益的集合,不存在国民利益 之外的“国家利益”,不能将国家利益与政府的利益或执政党的利益等同起来, 更不能以“国家利益”的借口侵害公民权利。在二十一世纪的全球化浪潮中, 中国在国际政治中应该与西方先进国家那样遵从“人权高于主权”的原则,积 极主动地接受人类普世价值、遵守人类文明的基本准则、融入世界主流文明, 在切实改善国内人权状况的同时,支持全球的人道主义事业。毕竟,“自由主义 和民族主义是性质不同的意识形态,它们有不同的出发点,遵从不同的逻辑, 走向不同的归宿。自由主义以人类个体为出发点,遵从‘普世主义’的逻辑, 目标是人类所有个体的自由幸福;民族主义则以民族群体为出发点,遵从与 ‘他者’不同或敌对的‘特殊主义’的逻辑,对同类的关爱有着鲜明的边界, 目标是本族本群的优势。” 30 自由主义者认为,当民族主义与自由主义目标一 致的时候,两者可以相得益彰;当民族主义与自由主义发生冲突的时候,取舍 的标准当然应该向自由主义倾斜。 参考书目 Unger, Jonathan. 1996, Chinese Nationalism, M.

And the mother’s voice is simply the best vessel to convey the calling because she ‘re-oralises’ and ‘re-originalises’ a story that has been written down—from oral story to book and back to oral story, in a reverse trajectory, forging a bond between time and place.

- summary: The attempt to engage at different levels of signification with the legacy of the past in the formally oblique manner associated with European art cinema also effectively signifies the cinematic journey of the director Ian Sellar away from the Scotland of his previous film, Venus Peter (1989), towards the former centre of European cinema, via the production support of Canal+ and the BBC. The relationship between this idea of Europe and cinema is maintained through the heading of ‘European cinema,’ and, despite the shift eastwards towards the study of Asian and world cinemas, ‘European cinema’ continues to function as a category of cultural distinction.

- summary: 、“和谐社会” 或“和谐世界”。况且,中国的“综合国力”也是今非昔比,国人不必 象鸦片战争和甲午海战以后那样锤胸顿足地自我反省,寻找受辱于人的缘由。相 反,在不少人看来,中国近二十多年里经济的高速增长再次证明了中国人的聪明才 智和中国文化的优越性。 虽然这样的优越感绝非无懈可击,但它很可能改变了百年来有关传统文化的争论。 随着民族自信的明显增长,知识精英对传统文化的估价出现了巨大的变化,于是 “反传统主义”退潮,而弘扬传统文化、挖掘文化资源和寻文化之根的呼吁则日渐响 亮。难怪以往反传统的政治民族族主义者纷纷停止了对传统的批判,甚至开始反思 启蒙和“五四精神”,并谈论“继承优秀传统文化”。其中不仅包括共产党人,还包括 民主志士和持不同政见者。当然,不能因此断定这就是政治民族主义与文化民族主 义的合流,但可以肯定往日以清算传统为手段来实现富国强兵的目的的政治民族主 义已见式微,而既“富国强兵”又继承和发扬传统已成为多数人能够接受的提法。依 此而论,如果说中华民族的集体认同在近现代史上经历了由正及反的过程,而今它 的重新整合看来已经开始了。 本专辑共收集八篇文章,作者都是在澳大利亚执教的学者。在专辑筹备期间曾数次 邀请中国大陆的学者投稿,有的没有回音,有的答应赐稿,可惜最终却未能如愿以 偿。此外还向一些海外学者发出邀请,均未收到回音。这样一来本专辑的讨论难免 有不少局限,希望专辑面世以后能够引起更多同行的关注,共同切磋,扩大交流, 以便使这项研究更加全面深入。如前所言,我们的目的只在于抛砖引玉,在于共同 探讨。 在编辑过程中,除了对个别文字和书写格式作了有限的变动和统一处理,所有的文 章都保存了原貌,文章的观点和看法事先没有统一的要求,事后也不强求统一。这 样做的好处是可以使作者真正畅所欲言,各叙己见;缺点是专辑的整体一致性因而 打了折扣。好在专辑毕竟不同于专著,但愿读者不会求全责备。 可喜的是,作者大都对文化民族主义保持客观冷静的态度,并注重实事求是。陈兆 华从康晓光的《文化民族主义论纲》和杨振宁、王蒙、许嘉璐等人的《甲申文化宣 言》入手,对文化民族主义作了总体的概括,并对其指导思想进行了缜密的分析。 PORTAL Vol. 4, No.1, January 2007 5 Guo, Yingjie Revival of Chinese Cultural Nationalism 孔书玉的文章针对电视剧《雍正王朝》和《汉武大帝》的主题内容及其意识形态指 向,深入讨论了历史正剧如何重写民族历史、如何再造民族英雄,以及各种社会力 量如何借助大众文化参与民族重构的话语。王一燕则把视线投向当代中国小说中的 故乡的文学构建,她指出:“无论‘中国’被如何设定,无论国族身份设立在乡村还是 市井,叙述中国必然是讲述中国文化传统,而传统又需要建筑在本土场域,即故乡 之中。” 传统和故乡也是李侠一文关注的中心问题,只不过二者在人们的脑海里变得更加模 糊,而且人们的感情也不无矛盾。通过对《都市风流》和其他都市小说的分析,作 者揭示了中国大规模的城市化所导致的人的离异和失落感;同时,在都市寻找希望 和梦想,对千百万人来说,又有一种不可抵抗的诱惑力。这种失落感也许算不上文 化民族主义,却能够激发人们对日益丧失的“精神家园”的向往。 郑怡的话题同样是围饶文学展开的,但重心不在小说,而是“由余秋雨为始作佣者 的文化散文”。她所关注的首要问题是文化散文写作行为中对当代差异性文化品位 的塑造,其次,她仔细地勾勒出通过对过去国族精神家园的改写来重塑当今文化民 族情感的尝试,并且厘清了文化散文这种新公共话语先锋、国族精神家园及文化民 族情绪在华夏民族重塑过程中所起的作用及其相互关系。 高默波的文章以电视剧《施琅大将军》为重点,但论及许多民族主义的敏感话题, 如汉奸和民族英雄、夏夷之辩、王朝正塑、立德立功、文攻武卫等等。这不仅使文 章内容丰富多彩,同时还展示了文化民族主义的复杂性,以及文化民族主义复兴所 面对的难题。在作者看来,除非西方的发展和现代化模式彻底破产,除非中国能为 人类现代化发展提供新的模式,否则中国文化民族主义的复兴就不能摆脱困境。 相比之下,古德曼对文化民族主义的复兴持更加谨慎的态度。他虽然没有对此直接 发表意见,但明确质疑“文化”和“中国文化”等概念的实用性以及文化决定论的社会 发展观,并强调“中国文化”的区域性与共社会经济变革的区域性动因。从这种角度 来看,难以把中国经济的高速发展归结为文化因素,因此文化民族主义复兴的口号 便失去了一条重要依据;另外,究竟什么是“中国文化”,究竟弘扬什么,这些问题 远比喊口号的人所想象的更加复杂。正如高默波所说,“中国文化”是仁、义、礼、 智、信、忠、孝、节?还是道教、佛教、穆斯林或其他文化? PORTAL Vol. 4, No.1, January 2007 6 Guo, Yingjie Revival of Chinese Cultural Nationalism 冯崇义对民族主义的批判最为直接了当,他站在自由主义的立场上,指出民族主义 妨碍民主化,危害国家利益,危害人权。毫无疑问,本文所说的民族主义大体属于 政治民族主义,甚至包括不少国家主义的成份,当然也包括部分文化民族主义的因 素。作者之所以没有把这三股思潮区别对待无疑是因为它们之间的差别不大,依此 而论,对民族主义的批判自然包括对文化民族主义的批判。这种自由主义的批判免 不了有商榷的余地,但它却说明自由主义的确是文化民族主义复兴的一大障碍。正 如五四时期一样,在目前新一轮的民族认同论战当中,二者还有一搏,但自由主义 者已经不站上风了。 出版华语专辑是 Portal 在线期刊的总编 Paul Allatson 博士首先提出来的,筹备工作 自始至终得到他的大力支持。Wayne Peake 博士负责日常联络工作并提供具体技术 支援。参与审稿的海内外同行百忙中抽出不少时间仔细阅读稿件并提出详细的修改 意见。悉尼科技大学博士候选人奚平更是不厌其烦,作了大量细致的编辑工作。在 此一并致谢。尤其感谢各位作者,他们的真识卓见使我受益不浅,相信读者也会有 同感,他们的友好合作更加感人至深。 郭英杰 郭英杰博士在澳大利亚悉尼科技大学国际研究学院任教,其主要研究项目包括当代 中国的民族主义和中国入世以来的对内开放政策。近著有 Cultural Nationalism in Contemporary China: 共产党人忠实地继承了五四“反传统主义”的传统,并在文革时期把它推向了极致。 虽然中共也曾降低过反传统的调子,但其霸权地位从未受到强劲的挑战,这种情况 一直延续到六四前后。六四以后中共在“爱国主义教育”中重提弘扬优秀传统文化与 它对六四的分析有关,在中共看来,六四的起因不仅包括“资产阶级自由化”和 “西 化”思潮,还包括由此引发的“民族虚无主义”。因此,新版的“爱国主义”显著增加了 对优秀传统民族文化的弘扬。 中共对传统文化态度的转变使“反传统主义”和“西化派”遭受了沉重的打击,并改变 了政治民族主义和文化民族主义对峙的格局。尽管官方的“弘扬优秀传统文化”有其 自身的实用目的,但却为文化民族主义粉墨登场创造了百年不遇的良机,也为传统 文化的回归大开方便之门。在这样的背景下国内市场上“古典”和历史剧数量剧增, 曲阜和黄帝陵热闹起来了,据说最近还出现了“读经热”。热度如何暂且不论,对文 化民族主义的理解也可以不尽相同,对于“复兴”的提法更可以质疑,但无论如何传 统文化和文化民族主义的境遇已是今非昔比,不说五四时期,与《河殇》为主旋律 的八十年代相比,已是天壤之别了。 PORTAL Vol. 4, No.1, January 2007 3 Guo, Yingjie Revival of Chinese Cultural Nationalism 当然,官方弘扬传统文化只是文化华民族主义复兴的一个前提条件。另外两个原因 可能具有更加深刻的意义。一是过去二十多年中人们时常听到的“信仰危机”和“道德 危机”;二是所谓“二十一世纪是中国世纪”的预言。从实质上来看,上述“危机”又是 认同的危机。按 Smith 的解释,这种危机是由传统的合法性危机引发的,这是因为 民族的自我意识在很大程度上依赖于它自身的传统和价值体系,如果后者的合法性 出现严重问题,那么以此为基础的民族认同就失去了支撑,就不再被自然而然地接 受了。 就中国的具体情况来说,中华大传统的合法性危机早在五四时期就已经出现,只不 过连绵不断的革命和战争使这种危机显得无足轻重。随着“新中国”的建立,一套社 会主义信仰价值体系取代了传统的信仰价值体系,往日的臣民、新民、国人又要被 改造成“社会主义新人”,这项工作成功与否认另当别论,但集体认同的危机大致得 到解决。但是,改革开放时期社会主义信仰的瓦解又导致了中国社会主义小传统的 合法性危机,同时全球化的潮流使之明显加剧,难以在短期内消失。 八十年代的“西化论” 、“国学热”,九十年代有关“人文精神”的讨论、“文化重建”和重 构中华性的呼吁、后殖民批评的流行、“孔子热” 、“炎黄热” ,以及最近的“读经 热”,似乎都流露出修补或重建群体信仰价值体系的欲望。就连胡锦涛主席构思的 “和谐社会”也要求重建“社会主义核心价值体系”。谁也无法料定中国最终会出现一 个什么样的民族价值体系,但至少可以看出传统文化没有被排除在外,而是被当作 可资利用的资源。 这一历史性的转折无疑还受益于有关“中国世纪”的预言以及对于中国未来在全球范 围内进行政治、经济和文化竞争的考虑。文化的竞争不仅包括文化产业的角逐,更 重要的是“软实力”的较量。而“软实力”的竞争远不是一时一地谁胜谁负的问题,它 关系到谁占据全面的话语权,谁的价值观念正确合理,谁的思维、表达和行为方式 可取,等等。赢家不废举手之劳便可以得到大量的优势,而输家则要做出巨大的努 力去调整和改变自己的行为举止,否则就难以被对方所接受,难以与之对话和交 往。更不用说这样的文化大势对人们的自尊心、自信心和自身价值的影响了。 那么中国用什么样的文化传统、思想、观念和价值来提升自己的“软实力”呢?也许 在传统文化当中比在“社会主义先进文化”当中更容易找到让世人接受的价值观念。 PORTAL Vol. 4, No.1, January 2007 4 Guo, Yingjie Revival of Chinese Cultural Nationalism 与其让历史唯物主义、“四项基本原则”和“雷锋精神”走向世界,还不如谈谈“天人合 一”

- summary: The shock is compounded by how socially accepted such practices are, and by how aggressively many Germans reject any criticism of those practices.13 Critical voices, particularly those of Black German intellectuals, have for a long time remained on the margins. From a vantage point of psychoanalysis and cultural theory, Kobena Mercer (2013) and others also enquired 11 For instance, many contributors to the volume Farbe bekennen (Oguntoye, Opitz & Schultz 1986)––a landmark volume of Black German women’s activist writing; see our second joint essay in this special issue––stress that receiving race-based ‘compliments’ make actual personal encounters very difficult.

- summary: In the middle of the decade, a group of women writers, historians and activists, including May Ayim [then named Opitz], Katharina Oguntoye and others affirmed their identity as Afro-deutsch (Afro-German), and began to research Black German history and anti-black racism in Germany. In a general sociological sense, turning social marginality and negative ascriptions into a glamorous, empowering aesthetics of living in a ghetto has been an important discursive strategy within the identity projects and, in some cases, political strategems of many underprivileged young people in Germany, among other places.45 Imagery derived from rap and hip-hop, but also from a wider world of gangsta culture, has played a crucial role in that process, as German rap music and rap videos show (Klein & Friedrich 2004).

Before that goal could be achieved, Bell hoped that deaf people could be taught to articulate spoken language to the extent that their deafness could be forgotten (Bell 1883).

- summary: In different ways, these tendencies resonated with: (a) radical, anti-imperialist politics; (b) countercultural sensibilities, where Black American culture provided a radically contemporary critique of (white) European modernity; (c) the racialized, erotically charged logics of primitivism and romanticism in which ‘the repressed’ was to be brought back to the surface; and (d) a consumer-based economy and pop culture, which supported the incorporation, domestication and aestheticization of differences, desires and conflicts. The term ‘Afro-German’ was popularized by a group of Black German writers in the 1980s.

- summary: Douglas Morrey Michel Houellebecq and the International Sexual Economy Douglas Morrey University of Newcastle, United Kingdom The French novelist, poet and essayist Michel Houellebecq has, for some time now, proposed various interpretations of what we might call the economy of sexuality. The detachment of the narration is such that these descriptions frequently take on an almost evolutionary scope: the few complimentary remarks that Michel finds to make about humanity are in this Darwinian spirit: man, he grudgingly admits at one point, is ‘un mammifère ingénieux’ (‘an ingenious mammal’) (Houellebecq 2001, p. 103; 2003, p. 102); elsewhere, the lush tropical vegetation in Thailand inspires him to remark upon the courage required for humanity to colonise the cold regions of the planet (Houellebecq 2001, p. 119; 2003, p. 120).

Whilst acknowledging the political and theological diversity that exists in any religious community, given the Shi’ites comprise sixty per cent of the Iraqi population one can immediately see the impracticality of McGeough view.

- summary: Moreover, unlike in other EU countries, French opposition to Turkey’s EU membership does not reflect a clear stance from political parties. Clearly, according to this attitude, Turkey cannot be integrated into the EU because it does not share pragmatic characteristics with ‘Europe,’ and is therefore definitely categorized as the other of that ‘Europe’; but, at the same time, it also perceived as a threat to the already fragile cohesion of the existing European self, epitomized by EU membership.

- summary: I’ll start with the shift in the nature of area studies, as demonstrated by shifting funding priorities. Notwithstanding the Bush administration’s efforts to re-imagine the world as fundamentally divided along the age-old fault-lines of religion and morality, funding imperatives for area studies have shifted from cold war geopolitics to concerns over trade relations, globalization, developing markets and market institutions in post-socialist states.3 Within the American AAS, this shift has been recognized for some time, as evidenced, for example, by a presidential panel in 1997 on the ‘Futures of Asian Studies.’

- summary: However, a book like R. J. May’s Kaikai Aniani: A Guide to Bush Foods, Markets and Culinary Arts of Papua New Guinea (1984), and similar books on the cuisines of other Pacific islands countries, can introduce outsiders to tasty food and recipes from the region. Here it is worth noting that only two Pacific island countries, Cook Islands and Niue, both of which enjoy the benefits that come with being in free association with New Zealand, achieved all of the MDGs, while the independent states of Kiribati, Papua New Guinea and Solomon Islands achieved none (Pacific Islands Forum Secretariat 2015: 8).

- summary: Right now, movements such as women’s rights, the ecology, indigenous peoples, and human rights appear to be becoming global social movements, meaning that they are both global in scope and have an overtly global orientation. New social movements are now seen more and more as symbolic challengers, because power—that affects everyday life and tries to manipulate and give social meaning to things—is being contested by individuals in both the public and private spheres.

The enlargement of European borders and the rearticulation of national ones have transformed the understanding of what constitutes European identity, emphasising a need to transform Europe from a ‘mosaic of cultures’ to a region where different cultures are in constant dialogue (Figel 2005).

- summary: As a result of the very public castigation and chastisement that significant numbers of German intellectuals received at the time, it looked very much as if German writers had retreated from public engagement with matters of political and social concern, divorced themselves from politics and reverted to doing what they did best, writing literature. Since they had been partly to blame for encouraging East German writers like Christa Wolf to stay in the GDR, so that she might continue the fight for a ‘better’ Germany, writers on the Left shared the blame for the iconoclastic status of the critical-loyal cohort of East German intellectuals like Christa Wolf.

- summary: One of the overriding questions for this paper, then, will be whether under such conditions the concept of the ‘the critical intellectual’ is still a plausible one, whether it has changed over the past decades, and what the critical intellectual’s role might be.3 2 A very insightful discussion can be found in the online version of the Internationales Archiv für Sozialgeschichte der deutschen Literatur, see http://iasl.uni-muenchen.de (accessed 5 May 2003) for a discussion of writers as critical intellectuals in these two contexts since 1945 see Emmerich 2001, for East Germany in particular, see Mittenzwei 2001. Before moving on to patterns of current usage, let us very briefly address the question of the relationship between critical intellectuals, in the sense just discussed, and the state.

Another sign of post- Fordism is the „programming‟ of both labour and immigration so that working bodies in certain capitalist sectors (Indian call centres, for example) need no longer cross national lines to do their work or to be players in another state‟s economy (Aneesh 2006); the cyborgization of human bodies and genders, at least among those with the means to take corporeal and identificatory advantage of such technology (Haraway 1991); the rise of downloadable modes of consumption, from shopping and entertainment to recording (and then relaying) the minutiae of daily experience (witness spectators at sporting, musical or any manner of public or private events paying mediated attention to proceedings as they make video mementoes on their cellular phones); the conversion of the www into the main communicative venue of our epoch (despite, or perhaps, because of the hegemony of Cyberenglish) for finding information, assessing an individual‟s „impact‟ or worth, and hosting a multitude 6 For more detailed elaborations, see the section on globalization in Milner and Browitt (2002).

- summary: The very trend in Judaism – that is, Messianism - that links Jewish thinking to that of the postmodern ‘corresponds’, writes Scholem, ‘to the endless powerlessness in Jewish history during all the centuries of exile, when it was unprepared to come forward onto the plane of world history’ (Scholem 1971, 36). The creation of the state of Israel suspends conceptions of Jewish identity between the tropes of Diaspora and homeland, secular Zionism and religious messianism, and the question of Exodus emerges as a central paradigm through which to examine religion as a major facet in what is often considered to be a predominantly secular Israeli identity.

- summary: Within this context, and from this theoretical perspective, we examine the work of Simone Legno, an Italian designer who works in the USA and is strongly influenced by Japanese art and culture (Figure 1).1 Simone Legno’s work, which essentially consists in designing and commercialising his personal fantasies of Japan and Japanese women, has been highly successful in the USA and Europe, as well as in many Asian countries, including Japan, Hong Kong and Thailand. While Legno’s representation of Japanese women as beautiful, sexy, self-confident, and innocently licentious, yet also sweet and reassuring, is partially consistent with some aspects of gendered Orientalism, we argue that Legno’s Tokidoki needs to be framed in terms of the present global diaspora and hybridisation of cultural signs and symbols, thus requiring a broader critical approach than that provided by the critique of Orientalism.

- summary: This third issue has been really difficult to solve, although progress can be seen when there are genuine efforts to foster interaction between home students and the (pre-pandemic) increasing population of international students on Japanese university campuses. The lack of international student mobility brought upon by the pandemic (and, particularly in the case of Japan, the ostensibly problematic nationality-based restrictions regarding non-Japanese long-term residents)3 has and will continue to impact the much-needed internationalization of our campuses, which as I already mentioned, helps break down stereotypes regarding the image of ‘abroad’ among home students.

As recent immigrants to Australia from Bangladesh, we had hoped to develop a sense of belongingness to Australian society.

- summary: Other aspects of existence, such as economic and social conditions, work and education—all elements that put many people and families at risk of survival—were not adequately managed by regional and national governments. This confusion between a specific measure (‘one meter physical distancing’) and a blurred subjective concept such as that of ‘social distancing,’ deprived the citizens of their responsibility towards their own safety and of those around them and allowed the government and councillors to implement compulsory restrictions (see Bennato 2020).

It focuses on the claimed inability of Westerners to understand Vietnamese language tones as a case study to explore how ethnic groups, including nation states with a national language, try to establish their identities by looking for a difference that they can use as a marker in setting barriers, even though this marker may not be the actual barrier that it is claimed to be and may not even be an effective way of establishing their identities or protecting cultural survival or sustainability.

- summary: In a very important sense, we may say that the 19th century Japanese outcaste experienced a multidimensional and a repetitive exile—literally excluded from spaces within communal place, displaced through regimes of fear and hate that are inherent in being an outcaste, and re-exiled through the exclusion inherent in modernisation. We gain the impression from these examples of a very clear association in both government circles and in outcaste communities between a restoration of social status and meritorious service to the state.

Although most universities have now developed websites which offer advice on how to deal with plagiarism, the information provided tends to focus on the mechanics of referencing in academic text construction and on universal notions of concepts such as ‘academic honesty.’1

To speak negatively of any aspect of Cuban culture, to laugh at the doings of santeros or the dead chickens and other sacrificed animals clogging the Okeechobee and Miami rivers because of santería (the blend of religions that combines the worship of traditional African Yoruban deities with the worship of Roman Catholic saints), or to sneer at the sometimes giant statues of saints set out in shrines in the front yards of Hialeah, to hang out with the Anglos or wear Levis rather than high-waisted polyester pants and gold jewellery, was to invite a cold appraisal and the scathing judgement of ‘cubana arrepentida’.

- summary: My contribution to the analysis of religion as a wholly political category is to develop the hypothesis that religions ought to be imagined and discussed as vestigial states (Goldenberg 2021; 2020; 2019a; 2019b; 2018a; 2018b; 2015.) Viewing religions as vestigial states disturbs the highly problematic but continually reiterated notion that state and religion, however defined, refer to distinct and separate spheres of ideation and activity.

- summary: In so doing some maximized their chances by visiting Sikh temples and Sufi Muslim grave shrines (dargahs) in addition to Hindu temples for protective blessings. While Modi personifies what I analyse as an emergent ‘logic of Hindu exclusivism,’ Alice personifies the openness inherent in what I term ‘the logic of inexpensive efficacy.’

- summary: While this literature resonates with what we encountered at Pir Baba shrines in the city, below we illustrate how a combination of linguistic and non-linguistic signs emblazoned on ritual cloth coverings (chaddar) offered at Pir Baba shrines, fabricated a material and interreligious space, and the entrepreneurial striving to communicate it. The latter shrines are accessible at all times, but the most significant period for worship at Pir Baba shrines is Thursday night (Jummah Raat), that is, the beginning of Friday, since the day in Islamic terms stretches from sunset to sunset.

- summary: The historical record, scholarly observation of local society and customs, and even local folk stories all reinforce the notion of Salar exile not so much as false but more as a constructed public belief, though one that significantly predates the establishment of the PRC, even if it were formulated more clearly in the 1950s and then pursued more passionately since the early 1980s in the most recent era of Salar revival. These inconsistencies and confusions throw doubt upon the specific current accounts of Salar exile but not necessarily exile or migration in general, for at least some of the ancestors of those now described as Salar.

Is Italian cultural studies confined to cultural practices in Italy, or does it expand to include the cultural practices of the Italian diaspora?

Although many foreign-derived linguistic features are present in Japanese translations, they have not usually been regarded in Japan as an attempt to peel away the semantic accretions to reveal the underlayers of meaning.

- summary: In my work the theme of exile makes its most impassioned appearance, perhaps, in the self-evidently titled poem, A Song from Exile (1990), written shortly after my arrival in England in 1989. It is the case that exile has marked the lives of many of the continent’s most prominent creative individuals, from Wole Soyinka, Lewis Nkosi and Breyten Bretenbach who seem to have survived it, Dumile Feni, Arthur Nortje, and Alex la Guma who tragically succumbed to its unbearable grief, to Nuruddin Farah, Ibrahim El Salahi, and innumerable others who languish still in its infinite wilderness.

Lo Bianco (2007: 4-5) links the expansion of Chinese language learning to China’s new economic position, seeking to understand its spread in terms of patterns of influence that relate to ‘contemporary forms of “empire” and “domination” under conditions of globalization, the decline of exclusive sovereignty and economic interdependence.’

- summary: As he says in the introduction to his essay collection, Reflections on Exile, ‘Exiles, émigrés, refugees and expatriates uprooted from their lands must make do in new surroundings, and the creativity as well as sadness that can be seen in what they do is one of the experiences that has still to find its chroniclers’ (2001, xiv). For transmigrants, like many exiles, ‘transnational social fields’ often appear to license a ‘claim to membership in a political community that stretches beyond the territorial borders of a homeland’ (2001, 4).

- summary: And, without romanticizing the role of states and nationalism, one may add that in an era of foot-loose capitalism, certain nationalist sentiments or state forms of sovereignty may in fact prove useful in countering the lack of accountability on the part of giant transnational corporations. But the overlooking of the roles of nation and state in recent theories of diaspora and postnationalism seems also problematic given the speed with which new nations and nationalism are actually emerging today, the peculiar propensity for and the intensity of border fortification in spite of the global flow of people and commodities across them, and the forging of new partnerships between certain states and the global capital market.

- summary: New Perspectives Report Mix and Match or Confusion?—Middleclass Taste in Contemporary China Lin Songyu, Guangzhou Huacheng chubanshe English Abstract 4 可以说,这是中国现代化和中国人走向富裕之路的历史进程中一个突出的现象。 它完全打乱了已经持续几十年的原有的社会主义阶级结构,也从更深层面开始 动摇中国稳定的农业社会结构。尽管也有一些学者认为中国现阶段是有中产, 而无阶级。但不可否认的是,自上世纪90年代中后期开始,中国社会经济发展 的步伐是更加快速的城市化进程,更加浓厚的商业化运作,市场经济已经完全 合法化;整个社会正在从生产社会向消费社会过渡,而社会的风尚则是物与商 品以及相关服务被赋予更多的符号意义。在这个重要的转型时期,无论你如何 命名,那个从经济学意义讲属于中等收入阶层的群体确实已经形成,实实在在 地存在着,而且朝气蓬勃,它既体现了全球资本主义中产化的特点,也显示了 中国特色小康社会的财富特征。在此基础上正在形成的人生价值观、文化生活 品味、政治话语方向等等对中国大陆普通民众也发挥越来越重要的作用及影响。 那么,由于中国经济开放改革的发展所引发的价值转换,以及民众道德经验和 审美意识由集权压抑转变为自我发展,这里面巨大的内在变化以及呈现的景象 究竟是什么?中国这个中等收入阶层—也即“中国特色的中产阶级”又对当代 中国社会崭新的文化景象产生哪些影响?其中昭显何种文化心态? 表面上看,这个社会这个时代,“何为价值”这个问题越来越被“值多少钱”的 问询所取替。物化与实用主义是城市居民尤其中产阶级更为习惯的价值评判标 准,因此金钱与急功近利的价值取向正在迅速消解人文价值的传统影响。对于 当下中国进入消费时代之后的种种世俗喧哗与市场繁盛,学术界起初是惊惶失 措,手忙脚乱,似乎找不到理论阐释来对应这急剧的变化,因为这在中国是前 所未有的。因此才发生了上世纪末那场沸沸扬扬的“人文精神大讨论” 5 。然而 反思与批判的结果是促使更多的学者从学院和学术神圣的殿堂走下来,走到“商 业主义与大众文化”研究的行列里去。而当代中国社会的各种商业主义新景象, 被认为正是遵循市场经济逻辑、受全球化影响的消费时代文化所造成的普遍性 样态。“感官、快感、当下”成为当今时代大众文化的审美品格的起点。于是我 们经常看到一个被描绘出来的中国本土欲望都市:新贵、海归、外企人士、演 艺明星、传媒人、畅销书作家以及暴发户⋯⋯他们时尚而前卫,由香槟、波尔 多红酒、蓝山咖啡、三角钢琴、画廊、慈善晚宴、白手套诸如此类构成一个光 影驳杂的庞大的消费阶层,他们被视为正在崛起的中国中产阶级。评论家陈晓 明认为:“在中产阶级中有一大批趣味精英。上世纪80年代是思想精英领导的时 代,90年代,是知识精英时代。到21世纪,人们发现,这个时代发生了变化, 年轻一代开始成长起来,他们被IT产业所培养,被流行文化所培养,他们是 突然出现的趣味精英。他懂得CD香水、登喜路、F4。你不知道,他就敢蔑 视你。” 6 事实仅仅如此吗?中国大陆的传统儒道文化基因、后极权统治与新兴资本经济 之间的错纵复杂及畸形发展的关系,实际上已经构成奇特怪异的共生链。 从历史的纵向观察,漫长的农耕时代形成的中国社会重农抑商、以官为本的价 5 指从1993年至1996年,文艺界兴起“人文精神”的大讨论。以《上海文学》和《读书》两家杂志为主,连 续以此为主题发表论文。全国多家报刊如《光明日报》、《文汇报》、《东方》、《十月》等相继发表争鸣文 章,参与讨论。1995年底上海《新民晚报》列举当年文坛十大热点,关于人文精神之争排在首位。 6 张者:“学者为美女作家‘号脉’”;《北京娱乐信报》2003年3月3日版。 Lin Songyu Mix and Match or Confusion?

- summary: A significant implication of all these essays is that a critical genealogy of globalization needs to be established in order to trace the shift from European to American colonialism –– if the destructive effects of globalism on local identities is to be restrained or prevented. Vijay Mishra argues that multiculturalism – which is nearly ubiquitous in Twenty-First Century societies – when it is conceived as a postmodern tolerance of heterogeneity, provides no remedy for the protection of cultural identity in societies that incorporate a number of ethnic minorities.

- summary: There are essentially two kinds of multicultural nations. If capital now moves to those countries with the highest return and the lowest forms of social justice (the establishment of sweat shops from China to Fiji are predicated on this correlation), then it is not in the economic interest of a state to emphasize distributive justice (which would include minimum wages, superannuation contribution by the employer, and so on) if it means outflow of capital to other nations.
