论英国哲学的现代转型

西方哲学从近代到现代的转型最早发生在英国.19世纪中期到20世纪初英国哲学的发展大致可以划分为前后两个阶段.前一阶段的哲学主要是在古典经济学、功利主义伦理学和进化论等科学思潮的直接影响下形成并与之融为一体的实证主义运动,它极大地促进了现代哲学的反形而上学倾向.后一阶段的哲学主要表现为浪漫主义文学运动输入的德国唯心主义,以及由此进一步发展起来的绝对唯心主义运动.这两个阶段的哲学发展都处于从近代到现代转化的过程.

论英国对西藏的早期“和平”渗透政策（1760—1793）

18世纪后期是英国对藏政策的早期阶段。受当时社会历史条件的限制,英国对我国西藏实行以建立直接交往关系为目的的“和平”渗透政策。由于喜马拉雅地区各国在历史上同我国西藏形成的密切关系及其在地缘政治上的屏障作用,英国东印度公司在这一地区的扩张活动同它建立英藏直接交往的尝试一样,都是其对藏渗透政策的组成部分。英国东印度公司在廓尔喀侵藏战争中的卑劣表演最终导致其早期对藏渗透政策的彻底破产。

Strangers of the north: South Asians,cricket and the culture of ‘Yorkshireness’

As a county, Yorkshire is a ‘cultural region’: an imagined space, where culture is constructed, refined and articulated by a set of discursive relationships between local populations and a whole range of cultural forms. In this context however, culture is conceived as something which belongs to, and is only accessible by, certain groups of people. Our focus in this article is on the culture of Yorkshire cricket. Historically, Yorkshire cricket has been linked with White male privilege and some studies have shown that people within Yorkshire take a degree of pride in this. Consequently, the county and its cricket club have faced frequent accusations from minority ethnic communities of inveterate and institutionalised racism. Drawing upon Bauman’s notion of ‘liquid modernity’, we argue that the processes of deregulation and individualisation championed by New Right policies have led to a divorce between power and politics, a cornerstone of the old solid modern world. This in turn has led to an erosion of the state, causing individuals to navigate turbulent life projects which are consistently haunted by the spectres of fear and insecurity. Such an environment has caused cricket to be pushed further behind gated social spaces, in an attempt to maintain a semblance of ‘community’.

英国儿童海洋小说的道德关怀

英国儿童海洋小说从18世纪的《鲁滨逊漂流记》开始，经过19世纪的繁荣，到20世纪《蝇王》的发表，跨越了三个世纪。这些小说一方面凸显了海洋这一意象、反映了海洋和人类之间的关系，另一方面始终紧扣对少年读者的道德关怀，这正是对英国小说伟大传统的继承，对丰富和发扬这一传统具有重要意义。     

White Feminist Stories

The last decade has witnessed an increased visibility of grassroots feminist activism in Britain. This article concerns the representation of such activism in the left-leaning newspaper The Guardian, and focuses on issues related to race and whiteness. Drawing on anti-racist critiques of “white feminism,” the article presents a close reading of three articles which have appeared in recent years. Combining a content and narrative analysis, the article unpicks underlying assumptions about British feminism, and identifies three specific narrative techniques which are problematic in relation to race. These construct contemporary feminist activism as: (1) a continuation of a white feminist legacy; (2) a unified movement of “like-minded” individuals; and (3) “diverse” and “happy.” Presented as common sense, these narratives erase power differences between women, as well as a multitude of feminist organising in Britain, including black British feminism. While anti-racist feminists repeatedly challenge such representations, including occasionally on The Guardian's own blog, this appears to have little effect on the dominant constructions of feminism in the more prominent news and feature articles. This resistance to change highlights the continued unequal power relations between white feminists and feminists of colour, and the persistence of whiteness in defining feminism within mainstream liberal media.
