If you look like me,I'll talk to you: a preliminary study of ethnic identity and inter‐ethnic interaction among women in Singapore

In Singapore, government policy is for equal but separate development of the four major ethnic groups—Chinese, Malay, Indian and other. In this study, I attempt to gain some preliminary views of how strongly women identify with their own ethnic group and how freely they are prepared to interact with people from other ethnic groups in non‐work‐related situations. I confine my study to females for two reasons. One is that traditional ethnic dress is common among females in Singapore but much rarer among men, and this makes a strong non‐verbal statement of identity. The second reason is to avoid differences between males and females, which I did not wish to pursue within the limits of this exploratory study. The findings of my pilot investigation indicate that intra‐ethnic spontaneous interaction is more likely to occur among women who display a strong national identity. Moreover, younger women, who were exposed during their school years to the government's recent drive to nurture ethnic and cultural differences, are less open to inter‐ethnic interaction than are women in their 30s and older, who grew up when the government drive was towards creating one common national identity for the people of Singapore.     

简论妙悟在思维和意识转移中产生的特性——《沧浪诗话》新释

妙悟是在抽象思维转移为形象思维，有意识转移为无意识的链条上产生的。转移的条件是熟参。如果以往的知识和经验重复千百次之后，就会化为血肉积淀；只要有意识活动，特别是形象思维的有意识活动反复出现，就会积淀成无意识。最重要的无意识活动是前记忆。妙悟的本质特性在转移观点的审视下被揭示出来。     

Origins and destinies: Immigration to the United States since World War II

Contemporary immigration to the United States and the formation of new ethnic groups are the complex and unintended social consequences of the expansion of the nation to its post-World War II position of global hegemony. Immigrant communities in the United States today are related to a history of American military, political, economic, and cultural involvement and intervention in the sending countries, especially in Asia and the Caribbean Basin, and to the linkages that are formed in the process that open a variety of legal and illegal migration pathways. The 19.8 million foreign-born persons counted in the 1990 U.S. census formed the largest immigrant population in the world, though in relative terms, only 7.9% of the U.S. population was foreign-born, a lower proportion than earlier in this century. Today's immigrants are extraordinarily diverse, a reflection of polar-opposite types of migrations embedded in very different historical and structural contexts. Also, unlike the expanding economy that absorbed earlier flows from Europe, since the 1970s new immigrants have entered an hourglass economy with reduced opportunities for social mobility, particularly among the less educated, and new waves of refugees have entered a welfare state with expanded opportunities for public assistance. This paper seeks to make sense of the new diversity. A typology of contemporary immigrants is presented, and their patterns of settlement, their distinctive social and economic characteristics compared to major native-born racial-ethnic groups, and their different modes of incorporation in—and consequences for—American society are considered.

北魏、北周、唐时期追祖李陵现象述论——以"拓跋鲜卑系李陵之后"为中心

本文通过考述北魏、北周、唐时期出现的诸多追祖李陵的现象,以"拓跋鲜卑系李陵之后"为讨论中心,从民族融合与文化整合的视角出发,来重新梳理和解析此类深为学界所质疑的追祖现象.本文还结合时代背景,将李陵视为一种胡汉杂糅的文化象征符号,探讨了其在北方游牧人与汉地农耕民接触与交往中所扮演的角色.     

彝、汉文献所见之彝族认同问题——兼与郝瑞教授对话

傈僳族新创文字研究综述

新傈僳文自1957年创制试行,已历经半个世纪。有关傈僳文的研究积累了翔实的调查资料,并在此基础上取得了可观的研究成果,但尚存在一些不足之处:第一,视野狭窄,方法单一。当前的研究应从多学科的角度,运用多种、多重研究方法,力求在研究中有所创新和突破。第二,描述性研究较多,解释性研究较少。今后的新傈僳文研究应多关注傈僳族文化传承与发展、语言文字多样性保护、文化价值及现实意义等问题。第三,回顾性研究多,前瞻性研究少。学界应对新傈僳文的使用现状进行深层次的前瞻性研究,提出适合现代社会发展规律的、具有应用意义和可操作性的应对策略。
