Making foreign women the mother of our nation: the exclusion and assimilation of immigrant women in Taiwan

Citizenship awarding is politicised. Conceiving female marriage migration as a national threat, Taiwan's citizenship legislation is consciously designed and purposefully utilised to achieve exclusion and assimilation. Driven by a nationalistic impetus, it shows how Taiwan imagines itself as a modern, prosperous and homogenous nation and projects upon the immigrant outsiders as a threat to its self-identity. Examined through immigrant women's lived experiences, this citizenship legislation is biased by gender, class and ethnicity. The implementation of the legislation is not only an example of symbolic politics but also banal nationalism realised at grassroots level in the private domain. Immigrant women's lived experiences show that exclusion and assimilation stemmed from banal nationalism is not just an operation of symbolic politics but is also enmeshed with their everyday life.     

唐代的家族、地域与国家认同——唐代“归葬”现象考察

出土的唐代墓志中出现了较多的归葬现象：从唐帝国的边缘地区归葬于国家的中心长安、洛阳。唐代国家观念中的天下观与家国观,蕴含着地域观念和家族观念：地域上是对天下中心的王朝核心区的归属与认同,家族上以忠孝方式表达对家国的忠诚。这为分析唐代的国家认同提供了理路。迁葬或归葬这种耗资巨大的行为仪式即唐代士大夫阶层朴素的国家认同的表达方式。分析唐人的国家认同与唐代社会的互动,有助于吸取历史养分,理解影响国家认同的因素,促进现代的国家认同。

外商直接投资对民族地区经济的影响及对策

目前对于民族地区吸收FD I(外商直接投资),学界尚存在着许多错误看法,这些看法片面地夸大外国直接投资给民族地区带来的好处,低估甚至根本抹煞它对民族经济的负面影响。认为FD I对民族地区的经济发展只存在正面效应,因此主张越多越好。笔者认为,对于FD I对民族经济的影响应该从正、反两方面进行考察,应客观地剖析两大利益主体之间的博弈。

"阴阳合德":壮族传统文化的精华——《布洛陀经诗》的性别哲学研究之二

《布洛陀经诗》虽然已超越"孤雌繁殖"的认识阶段,但却没有完全陷入男性"惟我独尊"的窠臼。其中关于男女祖神并尊的唱颂,以及对妇女地位和作用的某种肯定,都在一定程度上体现了壮族性别哲学的精髓。这些思想是我们在寻求性别和谐发展之道时可以借鉴的。     

An exploratory study of acculturation among Muslims in Australia

Muslims constitute 2.2% of the Australian population. Given the current socio-political climate and the limited research, the present exploratory study explores the relationship between acculturation, ethnic identity, self-identity, generational status, religiosity, and demographics among adult Australian Muslims.

A cross-sectional convenience sample of 324 adult Australian Muslims completed either online or paper-based questionnaires in either English or Arabic. Recruitment was via convenience sampling and social media advertisements. Acculturation, ethnic identity (MEIM), religiosity, and demographic variables were measured.

The study sample was young and mostly female, with high religiosity levels. Acculturation was negatively correlated with ethnic identity. From multiple regression analysis, acculturation was predicted independently by religiosity (low), age (young), gender (male) and ethnic identity (low).

First generation Australian Muslims were older, had stronger ethnic identity and religiosity, and more commonly self-identified as non-Australian. By contrast second- and third-generation were more likely to self-identify as bicultural or Australian.

In summary, acculturation of Australian Muslims is influenced by multiple variables, particularly ethnic identity, religiosity, and generation; hence all these variables need to be included in policy regarding successful integration of migrants.

秦、西汉的“内臣”与“外臣”

本文对文献记载中西汉政权处理民族关系时出现的“内臣”和“外臣”作了分析 ,归纳了它们在与中央政权关系上各自不同的特点。作者在分析云梦睡虎地秦简的基础上认为 ,秦简中的“臣邦”相当于汉代“内臣” ,“外臣邦”相当于汉代“外臣” ;并指出文献中的“羁縻”制度等同于“外臣” ,“葆塞蛮夷”相当于“内臣” ;同时提出“内诸侯”和“外诸侯”的称呼不适合于汉代分封和民族政策 ,应以汉代习称的“内臣”和“外臣”为准。最后 ,本文归纳了“外臣”向“内臣”转化的途径和原因 ,提出中央政权军事力量的壮大是完成此转化的直接动力。
