参拜靖国神社:一条通往“国家主义”的“精神隧道”——从小泉四次参拜靖国神社谈起

冷战后 ,“新国家主义”思潮在日本的迅猛抬头 ,导致了日本政治的极度右倾化。小泉纯一郎上台后 ,接连不断地参拜靖国神社 ,这是新国家主义思潮泛滥的必然结果 ,是一条通往“国家主义”的“精神隧道”。但是由于日本民族的独特性 ,使得日本在通往“国家主义”这一政治进程中 ,具有许多隐秘而独到之处。而小泉执意参拜靖国神社的背后 ,就是以一种十分隐秘的方式 ,即通过对日本最强的传统政治力量———以神道教为话语背景的“天皇制”———的利用 ,以唤起国民对国家的高度认同和忠诚。笔者尝试着从“认同”这一政治文化的角度对小泉参拜靖国神社的动机作一分析

Paying Homage to Yasukuni Shrine: A “Spiritual Tunnel” to “Nationalism”——Koizumi's four-time homage to Yasukuni Shrine

The rapid rise of “Neo nationalism” in the post cold war period in Japan led to extreme right leaning in Japanese politics. Prime Minister Koizumi Junichiros successive paying homage to Yasukuni Shrine since being in office is the result of the spread of neo nationalism and a “spiritual tunnel” to “nationalism”. Japans distinctiveness makes the political course of “nationalism” taking on many indistinct and unique characteristics. Behind the back of Koizumis insisting on paying homage to Yasukuni Shrine, is his trying to arouse peoples patriotism and loyalty to their country by making use of Japans most effective traditional political power—“Mikado” based on the discourse form of Shinto. The writers try to analyze the motive of Koizumis behavior from the point of view of “identity”.
