从船山论史看其史论之精神原则

王船山论史主要围绕着历史中之天命、公私与时势以及华夏夷狄之辩而展开。从天命之尊严,到公私与时势,再到华夏夷狄之辨,始终贯穿一基本的精神原则,即强烈的民族主义思想,而对民族主义的固守实质是对民族文化(主要指儒家文化价值)的捍卫、继承和宏扬。船山史论尤其是民族主义对近世湖南乃至中国的民族民主革命影响深远。     

当代中国民族主义透视

民族主义在20世纪80年代末重新兴起。当代中国民族主义在表现形态上是一种相对温和的、以世俗理性为基础的民族主义,在内容上则根本上是一种爱国主义。在其发展进程中,中国的民族主义受到内部和外部诸多因素的制约,尽管如此,由于主客观两方面的原因,它在中国的大地上仍然有存在的必然性,而且还会在未来的日子里成为凝聚民族力量、维护民族利益的巨大力量。     

略论比较文学学科的根本矛盾

世界主义与民族主义的矛盾,是比较文学自身矛盾中最突出而又最具根本意义的矛盾。这一矛盾,激发了比较文学的活力,成为促使比较文学在“危机”与“生机”的循环往复中不断发展更新的重要原因和内在原因。     

晚清"鸦片商战"观与近代经济民族主义的非理性

经济民族主义是晚清以来民族主义充分彰显的一个领域,"鸦片商战"则是近代经济民族主义观念的重要形式.鸦片战争以后,清廷无法有效地禁绝外来鸦片.民间人士为抵制外国鸦片入侵,纷纷主张弛禁土产鸦片,扩张罂粟种植面积.这种观念不但表现在一般士大夫身上,而且清廷重臣、地方官员也不乏其意,域外人士与国内士绅声气相求,世俗报刊与教会媒介均有相关言论刊布.作为一种非理性的经济民族主义观念,"鸦片商战"给晚清社会和国家造成的负面影响难以估量.     

孙中山民族主义思想的历史演进与内在逻辑

满清帝国在甲午战争中的失败,使本来发端于西方的民族主义思潮涌入中国,进而影响了包括孙中山在内的具有世界眼光和现代视野的知识分子与革命者。作为中国近代革命的先行者,孙中山的民族主义思想经历了一个从小民族主义向大民族主义的演进过程。前者主要着眼于内竞,服务于"驱除鞑虏"和反清排满的目标,具有一定的大汉族主义倾向;后者主要着眼于外竞,以追求"五族共和"与中华民族独立为目标。传统的家族观念和天下观念的影响,决定了孙中山民族主义思想具有较为浓厚的整体主义意蕴。     

Applying a Critical and Peace Education Lens to the American Revolution in the Social Studies Classroom

Abstract

The American Revolution is central to the identity of citizens of the United States. It is, therefore, rarely critiqued in the U.S. social studies classroom. This article examines how teachers can discuss the American Revolution using both a critical historical approach and the ideas of peace education, particularly the strand that focuses on the problematization of war. Specific examples are given for how teachers can critique some of the national myths surrounding the American Revolution. Furthermore, the rationale for this critique of the American Revolution is presented, particularly as it relates to the problematic history of minorities in the aftermath of the Revolution and the relationship between students’ views of the American Revolution and the ties to modern-day violence and military engagements. The goal for this more nuanced understanding of the American Revolution is not only to make students more critical thinkers in regard to their history but hopefully to also help them gain a healthier societal outlook in regard to the issues of peace and conflict.     

Comparing ‘deep’ insider knowledge: developing analytical strategies for cross-national qualitative studies

ABSTRACT

One overarching question in scholarly methodological discussions on qualitative comparative approaches concerns how it is possible to compare and generalise deep insider knowledge across (nationally) specific contexts. The aim of this article is to propose a research strategy that both facilitates the comparison and theorisation of such knowledge across nations and limits the risks of reproducing naturalised national ‘truths’. The strategy is developed within a feminist, cross-national, qualitative comparative analysis of how European countries addressed military deaths in connection with the ISAF mission in Afghanistan. The article underlines the importance of collective analytical work and of strategies that allow continuous movement between insider and outsider positions throughout the research process. A number of analytical strategies are presented: collective project design, alternating between analytical closeness and distance, and de-familiarising writing practices.     

‘When and where does being Welsh matter to me?’ The influence of cross-border mobilities on constructions of sub-national belonging in the lives of Welsh Muslims*

This article will discuss how Welsh Muslims construct what a sense of place means to them through their cross-border mobility between England and Wales, and how this contributes to the ongoing re-construction of a plural understanding of nationhood in an era of diversity. To understand when and where being Welsh matters to Welsh Muslims, it will explore how mobility rather than being the antithesis of belonging, can be used as an essential tool in highlighting how perceptions of the nation, sub-state nation, home and place are influenced and understood.     

Alternative ideologies of la francophonie

This paper concerns current transformations in the relationship between political and linguistic ideologies of la francophonie based on a sociolinguistic ethnographic study in a French-language minority school in Canada. A dominant modernist orientation, focussing on unilingual social spaces and the authenticity and integrity of French, is being confronted by an emerging globalizing orientation which emphasizes the value of French as an economic resource, or commodity, and which values both pluralism and a common language. The result is a crisis of legitimacy for francophone institutions, struggles for voice among old and new elites, and the marginalization of the working class speakers of the ‘authentic’ vernacular.     

中东经济现代化进程与民族主义

民族主义是包括中东在内的后发国家的现代化的初始动力和思想根基。中东民族主义与中东各国的经济现代化有很大的同步性,它不仅是民族团结和独立自主的重要精神力量,而且还是影响各国经济现代化发展方向和发展模式的重要政治力量。在全球化时代,民族主义受到异质文化等诸多因素的冲击,出现认同危机,民族国家在经济中的作用有所削弱。虽然民族国家并未彻底丧失其经济功能,但只有在维护传统文化和独立自主的基础上树立新的认同,建立开放的具有现代性的经济体系,积极发展地区间与国际间的合作,才有可能推动民族经济的进一步发展。
