非洲进驻北京地铁站 11月底的北京,隆冬的气息已悄悄潜伏;地铁站里,匆匆来往的人,某一天突然发现过道两边墙上原来贴满的各种商业广告竟被一批展现壮美非洲和野生动物自由活动的巨幅摄影作品替代了.那神奇精美、气势宏大、呼之欲出的云雾中的乞力马扎罗山、黄昏的纳库鲁湖、徜徉在草原上的长颈鹿、遮天蔽日的火烈鸟群……散发着清新、浓郁的大自然的气息,让天天为生计不停奔波的人眼前一亮,不自觉放慢脚步,开始流连.     

龙舟,把历史纺织在5月的江上

<正>棕子飘香的5月,这是一个民族悠远的记忆。我随着屈子的故事,寻着苦艾的清香,踏着历史的舞步,唱着传统节日的歌谣伫立江边,取一片棕叶包裹历史的哀怨,任内心生痛的粽子沉入水底,如一滴久违的凝重的泪,诉说着诗人无尽的悲哀。苍天无语,大地默然。屈子飞翔的姿势如同一个凝重的惊叹号,镶嵌在大地与岁月之间,让人倍感一种随风飘逝的沧桑。于是在时光的彼岸,     

七旬老人——山乡田野劳动掠影

试论全球化与族群文化的自主性问题

全球化是人类社会发展的新型模式和客观趋势.在文化生存竞争中,族群文化需要建构自身的合法性和自主性,为此,我们可以借鉴德国文化的经验,在国家层面上也需要法律的有力支持以及经济、道德等相关因素的充分协调.对此,本文做了一点尝试性的理论分析.     

固始汗和格鲁派在西藏统治的建立和巩固

明末清初,格鲁派联合蒙古和硕特部固始汗,推翻统治西藏大部分地区的第悉藏巴政权,取得了对西藏的统治。这一统治地位的建立,经过了几十年尖锐复杂的斗争,而巩固统治也经历了长时期的外部和内部的斗争。本文综合各种资料对这一历史过程作了细致的分析探讨,并解释了历史上的一些疑难问题。     

对西藏青作农业起源的再认识

一、西藏青作农业起源的演进问题青稞作物农业的起源与青稞的起源是两个性质不同的问题。青稞作物农业的起源是青藏高原农耕先民从事青稞栽培生产活动的伊始 ,而青稞的起源指的是裸粒和无芒的西藏山地大麦类群来源于何种科、属植物的问题。前者讨论的是人的社会生产活动 ,而后者则是物种的自然形成。尽管“青作农业”的对象是青稞 ,但实际上“青作农业的起源”却不是由“青稞”本身决定的。也就是说 ,当初农耕民栽培青稞的起因 ,决非因为自然界存在青稞的野生品种 ,而是由社会、自然条件所决定的。由此 ,“青作农业的起源”、“青稞的起源”…     

《猫眼宝石串链》——藏族族源及藏文新议

藏族的宗教和文化能否永存下去，主要靠藏族自己，尤其要靠正在成长的藏族年轻人。藏族的宗教和文化要发展，不能仅靠年轻人的勉强和偏见，而要对藏族宗教和文化有一种良好的觉悟。成长的藏族年轻人能不能对藏族宗教、文化和历史有深刻的认识，一方面有赖于年轻人自己的追求，更重要的是有赖于对藏族宗教、文化和历史有研究和见地的老一代学者们对年轻一代的培养和指导。 在此我就把藏族文化的渊源及历史，简要的告诉给成长着的藏族年轻人，如果想知道得详细一点，不妨参看我写的《猫眼宝石串链》一书。 一、藏族 通常认为，藏族属黄种人或…

Meeting / Derrida

In August 1999, Jacques Derrida gave a number of lectures and seminars in Melbourne and Sydney. The seminar of 13 August, held at Sydney's Seymour Centre Theatre, was open to the public. It consisted of a question-and-answer session with Genevieve Lloyd, David Wills, Paul Patton and Penelope Deutscher. Its title, 'Themes from Recent Work', reflected interests in the work from Specters of Marx (1994) onwards which some, including Paul Patton, have referred to as deconstruction in its affirmative phase. What follows is a by-no-means verbatim record of the event. Rather it is but one member of the audience's account of what transpired in the seminar – an account which is therefore necessarily selective and pressed through the grid of my own quasi-philosophical interests. Following this account of the seminar, I offer some marginal notes on the open discussion following the seminar, then, finally, some reflections on a particular matter discussed at the dinner which followed that – madness.     

Defining ‘real India’: representations of authenticity in independent travel

As an alternative to the stereotypical mass tourism, independent travellers – travellers who travel for extended periods on low budgets while ostensibly avoiding formalized tourist activities and locales – are invested in constructing ‘authentic’ travel experiences. Practices such as ‘off-the-beaten-track’ travel and cultural engagement provide the means by which independent travellers are able to make claims to such authenticity. Authenticity is constructed by travellers through idealizations of intimacy and non-commodification. These idealizations are tangled in narrative representations of ‘real’ India and ‘real’ Indians, their ‘real’-ness typified by an absence of other travellers, tourists and, more generally, Western contamination. In these ways, ‘authentic’ travel is dependent upon actively constructed binaries of Western travelling subjects and exotic Indian objects. Yet travellers' fantasies of the Other are fragile and subject to collapse at moments in which so-called Others articulate their subjectivity in a way that is inconsistent with travellers' expectations. Through a focus on travellers' narratives of their experience, both the requirement for an Orientalist dichotomy as well as the ruptures that continually challenge this dichotomy, will emerge.     

Oestrogen Rising 2016: Ireland’s stained and bloodied cloths

A weaver, seamstress, laundress and artist, in this essay I shall spin a yarn, tangle a web, and construct a text(ile) of the inter-weave of narrative and identity that I define as my intellectual, textual, somatic and material/visual practice obsessions. My work explores ‘the places in-between’ in the entanglements of Irish and Northern Irish gender and identity, and in the abject fabrics of death and of desire. As an Irish feminist, sense-making of the complexities, conundrums, challenges and contradictions of my land, my cloth, my body and my culture owes much to Irish women before me who fought for female suffrage, and Irish women now – north and south of the border that divides the island of Ireland – who still struggle for equality of citizenship, social justice, human rights, and full reproductive autonomy. My contention is that when we accept that Ireland herself is a many-layered cloth, a stained and bloodied cloth, a cloth marked irreversibly by history, conflict, denial and abuse, stained by its own repression, marked through denial of all its people’s rights and needs, and bloodied by its greatest export, the haemorrhage of its people, then – polemical, didactic or reflective, with more compassion, empathy, humility and heart – we just might make peace with our past.     

Refugees,migrants, neither,both: categorical fetishism and the politics of bounding in Europe’s ‘migration crisis’

The use of the categories ‘refugee’ and ‘migrant’ to differentiate between those on the move and the legitimacy, or otherwise, of their claims to international protection has featured strongly during Europe’s ‘migration crisis’ and has been used to justify policies of exclusion and containment. Drawing on interviews with 215 people who crossed the Mediterranean to Greece in 2015, our paper challenges this ‘categorical fetishism’, arguing that the dominant categories fail to capture adequately the complex relationship between political, social and economic drivers of migration or their shifting significance for individuals over time and space. As such it builds upon a substantial body of academic literature demonstrating a disjuncture between conceptual and policy categories and the lived experiences of those on the move. However, the paper is also critical of efforts to foreground or privilege ‘refugees’ over ‘migrants’ arguing that this reinforces rather than challenges the dichotomy’s faulty foundations. Rather those concerned about the use of categories to marginalise and exclude should explicitly engage with the politics of bounding, that is to say, the process by which categories are constructed, the purpose they serve and their consequences, in order to denaturalise their use as a mechanism to distinguish, divide and discriminate.

The changing configurations of self-(m)other dialogue in North Cyprus

This paper deals with issues of identity, nationalism, postcolonialism, and self-other relations with a focus on a period of transformative events in North Cyprus. It notes how nationalism has been the dominant means of identification for Cypriots in their modern history, and argues that unless weakened and supplanted by a radically pluralist democracy, nationalism imagines one's identity as an indivisible unity and has no place for different others within the nation. However, a pressing relationship with others and otherness is no stranger to Cypriots either, which makes it clear that the border that defines the ‘we’ of such nationalism is, at the same time, the line that divides the self intrinsically, indicating the otherness of the self or its alterity. Subjectivity involves subjection to the other.

Changing patterns of mobility,citizenship and conflict in Indonesia

ABSTRACT

Mobility and migration are inherent ingredients of Indonesian cultures. In an archipelago with thousands of islands of various size, character and nature, mobility is an important means to make a living and to survive by migration. The right to free movement in Indonesia is constitutionally granted. It can create mobility and give expression to equal citizenship rights at the same time as it can trigger the enforcement of borders among cultural groups and the ethnification of local and regional politics. Mobility thus always comes along with immobility. Physical mobility of one group of people might cause immobility of another group or it might create cultural and political immobility in the same group. In places such as Eastern Indonesia, people have developed reciprocal means to integrate newcomers. Whereas the immigrants are usually disadvantaged citizens with regards to land and customary rights, those living in the area for generations have nonetheless become integral parts of quite peaceful local settings, one way or the other. The advancement of decentralization, democratization and direct elections of political representatives can lead to political empowerment, the promotion of ethnicity as election capital and changing patterns of belonging. This paper illustrates these ambivalences by looking at mobility in Indonesia more generally and how changing national policies and laws lead to reinterpretations of mobility patterns and trigger changes in relations between local population groups and existing mechanisms of cultural and political inclusion and exclusion. Butonese migrants in Maluku will here serve as a case study.     

Im/possible lives: gender,class, self-fashioning,and affinal solidarity in modern South Asia

Drawing on ethnographic research and employing a micro-historical approach that recognizes not only the transnational but also the culturally specific manifestations of modernity, this article centers on the efforts of a young woman to negotiate shifting and conflicting discourses about what a good life might consist of for a highly educated and high caste Hindu woman living at the margins of a nonetheless globalized world. Newly imaginable worlds in contemporary Mithila, South Asia, structure feeling and action in particularly gendered and classed ways, even as the capacity of individuals to actualize those worlds and the ‘modern’ selves envisioned within them are constrained by both overt and subtle means. In the context of shifting cultural anchors, new practices of silence, literacy, and even behaviors interpreted as ‘mental illness’ may become tactics in an individual's negotiation of conflicting self-representations. The confluence of forces at play in contemporary Mithila, moreover, is creating new structures of feeling that may begin to reverse long-standing locally held assumptions about strong solidarities between natal families and daughters, on the one hand, and weak solidarities between affinal families and new daughters-in-law, on the other.
