《野草》:孤寂与绝望的二重变奏

《野草》是鲁迅全部生命哲学的诗话抒写,是反映鲁迅意志和"野草精神"的独特诗学文本。鲁迅的人格与意志、黑暗与虚无、绝望与孤独的情绪都得到了象征性的隐喻书写。《野草》所反映的鲁迅内心深处的孤寂之感和绝望意识,不仅仅是作者生命个体独自一人的,同时也是整个时代广阔而深沉的精神现象———坚持追寻精神的独立和自由意志,坚定地反抗现实层或思想层的绝望。孤寂与绝望的美学蕴藉,是生命个体独立桀骜的不屈品格,是号召千千万战士砥砺坚强的人格意志为精神之自由独立而奋勇抗争。

Community work and community care: Links in practice and in education

This article emphasises the individualising nature of much current community care provision and then discusses opportunities which may have been presented by the emphasis on user-empowerment within the community care changes.

The implications for social work educators are brought out throughout the article.     

弘扬广西精神与建设民族文化强区的现实思考

新时期广西精神是中华民族精神在广西的集中体现．但广西在建设民族文化强区过程中,存在文化建设投入、公共文化服务体系建设、文化产业发展、文化体制改革、文化人才队伍建设相对滞后等问题。究其原因,主要是讲文化工作重要多而实际重视少、文化工作发展机遇多而落实少、文化工作任务多而得到支持少、文化工作困难多而办法少、文化工作责任多而得到的关怀少。因此,要弘扬广西精神、建设民族文化强区．必须坚持学习宣传核心价值体系与凝炼共同核心价值观相互促进,坚持做强文化产业与打造文化精品同时并举,坚持面向市场与防止低俗化不可偏废,坚持文化顶层设计与群众首创精神相结合。坚持继承保护与开发创新互为条件。

The multiethnic state-building dilemma: national and ethnic minorities' identities in the Crimea

This article examines the process of national identity formation among ethnic minorities in the Crimea – specifically, how a new common identity develops in the system of existing identities, what meaning group identities have for different minorities group and how this process influences attitudes and stereotypes toward the ingroup and outgroup. Based on surveys in the Crimea, results show that formation of a common national and regional identity leads to developing of positive stereotypes toward members of other groups, who now are involved in a new group identity, but also is connected with formation of negative attitudes and stereotypes toward other groups. The meaning of identity depends on its position in the system of identities and can be used as a criterion for early warning of conflicts.     

‘Autograph of a Nation’: The Daughters of the American Revolution and the National Old Trails Road, 1910–1927

In 1912, a group of women within the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) undertook to become architects of the first continuous transcontinental automobile route, to be called the ‘National Old Trails Road’ highway. Consistent with many of the private road improvement initiatives during the heyday of America's good roads movement, ‘Daughters’ in many states were involved in mapping the route and posing a variety of marking schemes that would etch upon the landscape the DAR's sponsorship of the route. In doing so, the Daughters staked an explicit claim for the DAR and for American women in the project of nation‐building, by promoting their National Old Trails Road as a culmination of Manifest Destiny. This episode highlights the interrelationship of gender and the nation. This article argues that while women function passively in nationalist rhetoric to symbolise the nation, one must also acknowledge the agency of conservative women's groups in constructing and perpetuating nationalist narratives in ways that were often surprisingly complex and not simply imitative of men.     

Rhetorical Theory and the Critique of National Identity Construction

A striking feature of scholarship on national identity is the relative absence of rhetorical theory, or theory related to the persuasive dimensions of discourse, especially given the fact that rhetorical theorists have been concerned with the manufacturing of public opinion and collective identity for over two millennia. To address this absence, this article discusses how rhetorical theories dealing with narrative theory, the social construction of publics, rhetorical constraints, ideology critique, public memory, political history and post-national identity help both to illuminate and critique emergent patterns of national identification.     

Violent civic nationalism versus civil ethnic nationalism: Contrasting Indonesia and Malay(si)a

In 1963 the Federation of Malaya, Singapore, Sarawak, and Sabah formed the Federation of Malaysia. In the same year Indonesia gained control over West Papua. In the first case the integration was accomplished participatory and peacefully, in the second violence reigned supreme. I argue that different visions of community, nation and state, developed during the decades of decolonisation and the early years of state- and nation-building, are responsible for the different outcomes. Contrary to the expectations of the predominant theories on nationalism the ethno-cultural variant of nation-building in Malaysia proved to be much more integrative than the civic variant espoused by the Indonesian nation-builders.
