论当代国家文化安全问题

冷战结束后,时代的主题逐渐过渡为和平与发展。在新的国际形势下,保卫好国家文化安全,就相当于打胜了一场不见硝烟的战争。虽然当下我们的文化安全面临着内在和外部的压力,存在着种种问题,受到了方方面面的挑战,但是随着我们对这一问题关注度的提高,其解决也呈现出多种途径,未来还有很多工作要做,这不仅仅是保持乐观的问题。     

At the frontier of imperial history: revisiting Edward Gait’s A History of Assam

Edward Gait’s A History of Assam was first published in 1906, later revised in 1926. The book has remained one of the most popular ‘textbooks’ in Assam, especially as the first modern historiography on the subject. This article looks at two broad issues in this regard. First, it looks at the contradictions that Gait was faced with in terms of his imperial ideology and interpreting the historical sources of an imperial frontier. Second, it tries to situate the relevance of the above point vis-à-vis some of the contemporary attempts at re-framing the region as an international borderland. In conclusion, the article looks at the reception of Gait and his appropriation into different discourses within Assam. A point explored is whether despite its contradictions, was Gait’s A History of Assam part of a wider, dynamic context of early twentieth century Assam, which made the book an important academic and political intervention of its times.     

Naturing the Nation: Aliens,Apocalypse, and the Postcolonial State

The purpose of this study is to understand how the British Canadian Frank Schofield transformed himself into an established missionary scholar and nobleman in Korea. The study employs its framework from the structure of cultural exchange itself in its survey of Schofield's career. It examines the relevant aspects of Korean and Western cultures, and the characteristics of Schofield who linked them. The case, including themes significant both to Korean and Western cultures, such as the importance of spirituality, an emphasis on education, and the ideals of justice and love, explains reasons for his success as a cultural mediator between Korea and the West. It reveals that the flow of information and ideas between Koreans and Schofield illustrates the ability of intercultural contact to influence the initiating as well as receiving culture. It suggests that such a distinction between sender and receiver may carry little ultimate significance. Finally, it argues that individuals of different cultures can convey information and ideas effectively only if the conveyer learns about the target individuals for the information and ideas, and communicates on the basis of that knowledge, as intercultural communications occur between the individuals of different cultures.     

Disposable waste,lands and bodies under Canada’s gendered nuclear colonialism

ABSTRACT

Nuclear colonialism, or the exploitation of Indigenous lands and peoples to sustain the nuclear fuel cycle from uranium mining and refining to nuclear energy and weapons production and the dumping of the resulting nuclear waste, occurs in many parts of the world and has generated considerable protest. This article focuses on a contemporary and ongoing case of nuclear colonialism in Canada: attempts to site two national deep geological repositories (DGRs) for nuclear waste on traditional First Nations land in Southwestern Ontario near the world’s largest operational nuclear power plant. Through histories of the rise of nuclear power and nuclear waste policy-making and their relationship to settler colonialism in Canada, as well as actions taken by the Saugeen Ojibway Nation (SON) and white settler anti-nuclear waste movements, the article explores how gender is at work in nuclear colonialism and anti-nuclear waste struggles. Gender is explored here in terms of the patriarchal nuclear imperative, the appropriation of Aboriginal land through undermining Aboriginal women’s status and the problematic relationship between First Nations and white settler women-led movements in resistance to nuclear waste burial from a feminist decolonial perspective     

环境殖民主义批判

环境殖民主义是资本主义殖民本性在环境领域的体现和拓展。为了维持资本主义生产生活方式,发达国家不仅掠夺发展中国家的能源资源与原料燃料等,还通过多种方式把有毒有害废弃物和垃圾输往广大发展中国家。环境殖民根源于资本的求利本性和全球扩张,资本主义生态理性与经济理性存在不可调和的矛盾。我国应以科学的态度对待环境殖民主义。

早期殖民活动与阿散蒂王国的兴衰--兼论早期殖民主义对西非本土文明的影响

15—19世纪的欧洲早期殖民活动与西非本土文明的发展有着广泛的联系。近代阿散蒂王国的兴起是一个全方面、深层次、多因素共同促动的结果,包括国家形态、经济结构、政治制度、军事力量等多方面变化,这些变化都不同程度地得到了大西洋贸易的推动。然而19世纪末阿散蒂王国不能摆脱沦为殖民地的命运,可见外部因素虽能在一定时期内为非洲本土文明发展产生促进作用,但不能从根本上改变非洲本土文明长期以来封闭缓慢的发展模式。     

论全球化背景下西方的文化殖民主义

全球化已成为一股不可阻挡的潮流 ,然而西方一些发达国家 ,凭借其在当代国际社会中的经济、政治主导地位 ,利用各种手段 ,自觉或不自觉地推销其文化制品和价值观念 ,推行文化殖民主义。我们应旗帜鲜明地抵制文化殖民主义 ,采取相应对策 ,建立必要的文化安全防范机制 ,加强对西方文化产品入口的管理 ,最根本的是要弘扬民族文化传统进行文化创新。     

现代日本人类学的转型和发展

本文首先对日本人类学的早期发展,特别是对日本的殖民主义人类学做了考察。在此基础上,围绕战后日本人类学的反思和转型,介绍和讨论了日本现代人类学的海外调查与异文化研究、对异文化与自文化研究的反思、移民与越境的人类学以及现代日本人类学的中国研究等,并对全球化背景下日本人类学的学术转型、问题意识和学科建设等问题做了梳理。现代日本人类学的研究在一定程度上与欧美人类学的海外社会研究形成呼应,并对周边国家人类学的发展产生了一定的影响。
