从冉有“为政”之失看“礼”在政治行为中的作用

关于＂礼＂的起源,众说纷纭。孔子在总结前代＂礼＂的基础上,在强调其形式的同时,对＂礼＂的内容作了实质性的发展和深化,使其在古代中国的政治中发挥了不可替代的作用。本文拟从微处入手,摘取《论语》中孔子批评其弟子冉有的为政之失的相关条目,对其批评背后的为政思想进行分析,详细论述＂礼＂在政治行为中的具体作用。     

建立民族文化自信开掘京剧文化的现代价值

独树一帜的京剧艺术根植于博大精深的中华文化,且具有浓郁的京味特色,是亟须抢救、保护、继承的国宝国粹。当前的关键在于增强民族文化的自觉意识,建立民族文化自信,开掘京剧文化的现代价值,为优化人类文明提供精神营养,使之走向世界,走向明天。     

中国传统文化与数字

数字作为一种语言符号,通常用于记录、计算,然而置之于中国传统文化中,其所蕴涵的意义便超＂凡＂入＂圣＂。古人视其为＂先天地而己存,后天地而己立＂,从而建构了一系列相关的文化语汇。透过数字本身来观察这一独特的文化现象,它所折射与反映的不仅是先民的宇宙意识,而且作为一种集体潜意识的约定俗成,它又成为华夏民族根文化的组成部分。     

文化全球化与思想政治教育的创新

文化全球化浪潮对我们的思想政治教育既构成了新的挑战,又给予了新的发展机遇。应对文化全球化挑战的首要之举,是要坚持真理与价值的统一、继承与创新的统一、共性与个性的统一、拒斥与接纳的统一的方法论原则,去改进我们的思想政治教育工作。     

马克思主义中国化的文化路径

出于实践与理论自身发展的需要,马克思主义必须与中国传统文化相结合。两者结合的基础在于它们内容上的共通之处以及各自的开放品格。马克思主义与传统文化的结合具有很强的实践取向与鲜明的时代特色。在两者的结合过程中必须坚持马克思主义的主导地位,同时也要谨防传统文化消极成分的渗入。两者可以在多个层面上以多种方式进行结合。     

农民工有序政治参与的实证研究——以达州市外出务工人员为研究对象

政治参与是农民工的基本政治权利,但在现实中却陷于两难境地。基于对达州市外出务工人员的政治认知、政治选举行为和政治参与渠道等所作的调研发现,农民工有较强的参政意愿,但对参政目的、参政途径、参政手段等认知还存在较大问题,表现出参政意识强烈与参与行为缺乏并存、制度化政治参与与非制度化政治参与并存、渴望融入城市与城市政治参与边缘化并存、法定参与途径多样与可利用的参与方式有限并存的尴尬局面。因此,应从夯实基层参与、强化媒体推动、统筹城乡发展、加强文化建设等方面培育农民工的政治参与意识,提高农民工政治参与的能力和素养。     

印度东北与中国西南的民族志诗歌

印度东北与中国西南在地域上山水相连,相互之间的文化交流是非常密切的。这个区域里居住着众多的民族或族群,他们的文化相似性和可比性是很明显的。从跨国的视角来探寻文化互动或文化个性,这是一个理想的地域。这些不同民族或族群身份的诗人写作的民族志诗歌是探寻各自文化共性和个性的较好途径：虽然诗歌创作过程中采用不同的语言,印度东北的土著诗人通常用英语写作,中国西南少数民族诗人经常用汉语写作,但是这些诗人都受到了近代西方现代主义诗歌潮流的影响。同时,这些诗人的诗歌也受到了当下全球化的影响,比如本民族传统文化与文化教育现代化、全球生态环境日益恶化等等冲突的影响。因为受到了相似的影响,这个区域内的民族志诗歌的风格和肌理是可以比较的;诗歌的主题和内容也是可以展开对比研究的。

Culture and identity: two different notions

A clear, precise conceptual distinction between ‘culture’ and ‘identity’ is an essential precondition for analyzing social processes. The anthropological concept of ‘identity’ has been built up over time and enriched by studies on interethnic relationships, ethnic borders and ethnicity. The objective of this essay is to add to an already well-defined concept of culture by incorporating decisive contributions from theories on the nation. Culture and nation are not only highly complex theoretical notions with a long history; they both deal with heterogeneous and conflictive entities. The essay asserts that culture and identity allude to analytically different aspects of social processes. No relationship between the two can be presupposed or generalized to fit all cases. It is necessary to analyze cultural and identitary aspects separately.     

A political profile of Protestant minorities in Europe

This article uses a large volume of data – in particular, surveys – to explore the character of Protestant identity in contemporary European states. It distinguishes three contexts. First, in the Nordic and certain adjacent states, the dominance of Protestantism was complete, but more recent secularisation has provoked a reaction from Christian parties, which enjoy strong support from active Protestants. Second, in certain states that in the past were predominantly Protestant, and where the ethos of the state was aggressively so, a significant Catholic minority was counter-mobilised politically, but as the dominant state-building parties became increasingly secular, committed Protestants reacted in different ways, including the formation of splinter parties (as in the Netherlands and Switzerland) or working within the traditional parties (as in Great Britain and Germany). Third, in a few states there has traditionally been a small Protestant minority, which has played a significant role in national development, but in these cases (mainly successor states to the Habsburg monarchy) decades of communist rule have largely obliterated what might have been distinctive patterns of political behaviour. The article explores variation in group identity patterns and in attitudes towards the state in those cases for which appropriate survey data are available, and devotes particular attention to the position within the United Kingdom, where religion has played a prominent role in the state- and nation-building process.
