从《五部遗教》看禅宗在吐蕃的传播与影响

有关禅宗在吐蕃传播的资料,主要保存在敦煌汉藏文献中,如汉文《顿悟大乘正理决》,藏文P.T.116、P.T.823等卷子.国内外学术界对此已多有研究.除敦煌文献外,后期的藏文佛教史著对禅宗在吐蕃的传播也有涉及.但大部分著作认为禅宗的宗旨与正统佛教不相符合,只有《五部遗教》等宁玛派典籍对禅宗的态度比较公允,并收录有禅宗的原始材料.鉴此,《五部遗教》对于研究汉藏佛教关系史及禅宗在吐蕃的传播历史极有参考价值.

跨文化语用能力探析

跨文化语用能力是跨文化交际双方进行得体交际的关键所在.语言不会脱离各自的文化而存在,所以跨文化语用能力表现出强烈的民族色彩.在跨文化交际中,如果不注意这些表现在语言和文化上的民族差异,就会产生语用失误.跨文化语用能力不仅可以体现在词典编纂中,也可以体现在语言教学中.只有提高跨文化语用能力,交际双方才能减少语用失误,从而进行有效的交流.

在美国结婚

小时候申请加入红小兵,都是先同学选,后老师批,然后填表,再报审,等发榜.我那次是在发红榜的时候,发现自己的名字左看右看都没出现在榜上.没敢问老师,回到家里我就哭了.第一批红小兵,报上去的候选人里只有我一个人没有被批准.从那以后我对申请报批一类的事情总是心有余悸.     

壮泰族群的渊源

壮泰族群的传统文化有许多共同点.这些共同点的形成,因缘于壮泰同源.两个民族的先民原来共同生活在今广西等地,一直到东汉时期.他们分离的时间,主要在三国两晋南北朝时期.分开以后,由于受到不同文化的影响,逐渐形成了两个不同的民族.这种情况,与远古时期生活在中国大陆和东南亚的三大民族集团的发展正相吻合.     

表述的民间信仰与族群认同——以四川贵琼藏族的羊年会为例

民间信仰的多重表述,是在特定情境下进行的.这个过程是在地方、精英、政治、经济、文化等因素参与和影响下动态产生的.本文以文献为主、结合田野调查.考察了四川省贵琼藏族地区羊年会文本的多样形态,分析了为何被表述为"这样"的原因,讨论了多样性的羊年会与贵琼人的关系.本文认为,多样化的羊年会文本里,都有共同的、不变的信仰核心贯穿其中.羊年会成了贵琼人内部文化认同的重要内容.而不同的考察者在特定情境下.受多种因素影响,将民俗事件存在的羊年会,一次性地文本化为民俗事象.而形成了多样形态的羊年会.考察这种文本化的民间信仰时,我们要详加考辨文本背后的情境性因素,方能体会到民间信仰在书写过程中,被遮蔽了的即时的和鲜活的因素.在田野考察中,我们应该将民间信仰详细全面地记录下来.而不是将文化事件虚脱成一张文化之皮.

中西文语境的"族群"与"民族"

讨论"族群"、"民族"等术语在中英语境中使用的规定性问题.有关术语的使用,在不同的场合规定性有所不同.所以,对它们的理解和对译不仅应考虑到术语发展的历史和学术脉络,而且还应看到是谁在使用和操作它们.因为,在学术场合和在公众话语里,它们的规定性差别很大.虽然许多人类族体认同的核心内容都是某种"原生"的叙述,它只能说明人类需要某些精神上的东西来加强群体内聚力,而与族体的恒久性毫无关系.     

Meeting / Derrida

In August 1999, Jacques Derrida gave a number of lectures and seminars in Melbourne and Sydney. The seminar of 13 August, held at Sydney's Seymour Centre Theatre, was open to the public. It consisted of a question-and-answer session with Genevieve Lloyd, David Wills, Paul Patton and Penelope Deutscher. Its title, 'Themes from Recent Work', reflected interests in the work from Specters of Marx (1994) onwards which some, including Paul Patton, have referred to as deconstruction in its affirmative phase. What follows is a by-no-means verbatim record of the event. Rather it is but one member of the audience's account of what transpired in the seminar – an account which is therefore necessarily selective and pressed through the grid of my own quasi-philosophical interests. Following this account of the seminar, I offer some marginal notes on the open discussion following the seminar, then, finally, some reflections on a particular matter discussed at the dinner which followed that – madness.     

Defining ‘real India’: representations of authenticity in independent travel

As an alternative to the stereotypical mass tourism, independent travellers – travellers who travel for extended periods on low budgets while ostensibly avoiding formalized tourist activities and locales – are invested in constructing ‘authentic’ travel experiences. Practices such as ‘off-the-beaten-track’ travel and cultural engagement provide the means by which independent travellers are able to make claims to such authenticity. Authenticity is constructed by travellers through idealizations of intimacy and non-commodification. These idealizations are tangled in narrative representations of ‘real’ India and ‘real’ Indians, their ‘real’-ness typified by an absence of other travellers, tourists and, more generally, Western contamination. In these ways, ‘authentic’ travel is dependent upon actively constructed binaries of Western travelling subjects and exotic Indian objects. Yet travellers' fantasies of the Other are fragile and subject to collapse at moments in which so-called Others articulate their subjectivity in a way that is inconsistent with travellers' expectations. Through a focus on travellers' narratives of their experience, both the requirement for an Orientalist dichotomy as well as the ruptures that continually challenge this dichotomy, will emerge.     

Oestrogen Rising 2016: Ireland’s stained and bloodied cloths

A weaver, seamstress, laundress and artist, in this essay I shall spin a yarn, tangle a web, and construct a text(ile) of the inter-weave of narrative and identity that I define as my intellectual, textual, somatic and material/visual practice obsessions. My work explores ‘the places in-between’ in the entanglements of Irish and Northern Irish gender and identity, and in the abject fabrics of death and of desire. As an Irish feminist, sense-making of the complexities, conundrums, challenges and contradictions of my land, my cloth, my body and my culture owes much to Irish women before me who fought for female suffrage, and Irish women now – north and south of the border that divides the island of Ireland – who still struggle for equality of citizenship, social justice, human rights, and full reproductive autonomy. My contention is that when we accept that Ireland herself is a many-layered cloth, a stained and bloodied cloth, a cloth marked irreversibly by history, conflict, denial and abuse, stained by its own repression, marked through denial of all its people’s rights and needs, and bloodied by its greatest export, the haemorrhage of its people, then – polemical, didactic or reflective, with more compassion, empathy, humility and heart – we just might make peace with our past.     

The changing configurations of self-(m)other dialogue in North Cyprus

This paper deals with issues of identity, nationalism, postcolonialism, and self-other relations with a focus on a period of transformative events in North Cyprus. It notes how nationalism has been the dominant means of identification for Cypriots in their modern history, and argues that unless weakened and supplanted by a radically pluralist democracy, nationalism imagines one's identity as an indivisible unity and has no place for different others within the nation. However, a pressing relationship with others and otherness is no stranger to Cypriots either, which makes it clear that the border that defines the ‘we’ of such nationalism is, at the same time, the line that divides the self intrinsically, indicating the otherness of the self or its alterity. Subjectivity involves subjection to the other.     

Changing patterns of mobility,citizenship and conflict in Indonesia

ABSTRACT

Mobility and migration are inherent ingredients of Indonesian cultures. In an archipelago with thousands of islands of various size, character and nature, mobility is an important means to make a living and to survive by migration. The right to free movement in Indonesia is constitutionally granted. It can create mobility and give expression to equal citizenship rights at the same time as it can trigger the enforcement of borders among cultural groups and the ethnification of local and regional politics. Mobility thus always comes along with immobility. Physical mobility of one group of people might cause immobility of another group or it might create cultural and political immobility in the same group. In places such as Eastern Indonesia, people have developed reciprocal means to integrate newcomers. Whereas the immigrants are usually disadvantaged citizens with regards to land and customary rights, those living in the area for generations have nonetheless become integral parts of quite peaceful local settings, one way or the other. The advancement of decentralization, democratization and direct elections of political representatives can lead to political empowerment, the promotion of ethnicity as election capital and changing patterns of belonging. This paper illustrates these ambivalences by looking at mobility in Indonesia more generally and how changing national policies and laws lead to reinterpretations of mobility patterns and trigger changes in relations between local population groups and existing mechanisms of cultural and political inclusion and exclusion. Butonese migrants in Maluku will here serve as a case study.

‘Both an Arab and a woman’: gendered,racialised experiences of female Palestinian citizens of Israel

Following feminist and postcolonial discourses, this paper uses the concept of ‘everyday experience’ as a tool to trace the social world of educated Palestinian women in Israel. The term refers to the complex array of these women's experiences in racialised and gendered social sites, as well as within the class, religious, and ethnic contexts in the subordinated group and its relations with the dominant Jewish group. Based on 108 in‐depth interviews with Palestinian women citizens of Israel, the paper claims that educated Palestinian women are located in a ‘third place’ between cultural, gender, class, national and racial structures that generates a continual ambivalence. Within this marginal, ‘unhomely’ space women negotiate their own identities and challenge dominant social definitions. Women create various modes of interim spaces and multi‐dimensional, shifting identities for themselves. The ambivalent attitudes generated by the women's experiences expose the possibility of shedding categorising markers. The omnipresent existence of the gendered, racialised regime of knowledge makes every place a potential site of subversion and resistance.     

羌族宗教信仰与藏文化的关系考察研究

岷江上游羌族宗教信仰是多元混杂的,导致这种现象的产生,既有历史的因素,又有现实的因素.历史的因素可追溯到古羌人时代,从那里我们可寻羌族宗教信仰之渊源的一些踪迹;现实的因素可从羌族地处藏彝走廊,受汉藏文化影响的现状中去采撷一些实际的表现.本文拟就羌族原始宗教信仰中的藏文化因子,羌族天神信仰与藏族民间宗教信仰的渊源,羌族和藏族有关人类起源传说的相似与区分,羌族原始宗教信仰与佛教文化的糅合等方面对羌族宗教信仰与藏文化的关系作一较为深入的考察分析.     

Identification,the exercise of democracy and the fear of the Other – the June EU referendum in the UK

ABSTRACT

The focus is the oscillation among leave voters in the EU referendum from the exercise of rights - an act of dis-identification – towards the assertion of identity as members of a British community. This was mediated by voters acting in an association of citizens calling on the equalising agency of the British people whilst claiming membership of a locally circumscribed community, perceived as injured, through entanglement with the Other prominent among them Europeans. Hence the recovery of the injured community as the object of the denunciators’ desire for identity coupled with the fear of the Other. Predicated on this was the resumption of class, gender and ethnic roles reflected in division among voters. The denunciation of togetherness with Europeans served leave voters to substitute the exercise of rights with a longing for identity. Instrumental in this was the lack of deliberation in the plebiscite to articulate the will of individual voters through a general will. The ‘direct power’ exercised enabled many to cast away their role as citizen in an attempt to claim their privileges as members of a racially and culturally demarcated British community. Paradoxically, the voters’ unashamed disavowal of their agency as citizens by seeking to restore a divided social world as the source of their identity was represented as an exercise in democracy. To some playing on words was supplemented by the use of force removing the gap between the discursive exclusion of the Other and the continued physical presence of bearers of different races and culture.
