Separation,Connection, and the Ambiguous Nature of Émigré Houses in Rural Highland Madagascar

ABSTRACT

The houses that educated migrants from highland Madagascar build in their home villages are generally large in scale and modern in style. They are also usually empty and in a very poor state of repair. This article is about how these houses articulate the ambivalent relationship of migrants to their ancestral land and the family they have left behind there. The argument goes beyond analyses of émigrés' houses that simply see such constructions as ways of maintaining links to their point of origin and suggests that they also act as means of attenuating such connections. In fact, they embody and symbolize a range of contradictions and tensions typical of the migrant experience, such as presence and absence, connection and separation, individual ambition and communal obligation.     

论入宪后人权实现的基本条件

"国家尊重和保障人权"已经由《宪法》修正案确定,然而人权的实现并不是仅靠人权内容的入宪就能解决的。本文从法制建设、制度建设、人权意识的提高等方面作了阐述。     

高校女教师生存状态的历史变迁

面对近年来高校女教师队伍的日益壮大,从女性的社会、历史文化出发,梳理了我国不同历史时期的三种主要社会性别制度：“男女有别”、“男女平等”与“男女都一样”;概括并分析了我国高校女教师先后呈现的三种生存状态：“缺席者”、“在场者”与“言说者”。旨在呼唤人们进一步关注高校女教师的利益诉求与发展趋势。这必将是一个冲破主流话语屏障、回归生活本身的难得的精神觉醒与自我发现的过程。
