‘King's inheritors': understanding the ethnic discourse on the Rajbanshi as an indigenous community

The rise of ethnic struggles in various parts of the world, particularly in the post-colonial period, is an intriguing phenomenon. Having the consciousness of primordial origins, indigenous communities have pursued ethnic mobilizations along different lines in order to achieve the goals of social and economic uplift. This paper focuses on the Rajbanshi, one such community living in northeast India, as they offer an opportunity to study history and ethnic identity formation as the dynamics behind their current situation. From the standpoint of applied anthropology, processes of social change and activism intended to improve the lot of Rajbanshi communities are evaluated. Given their obscure origins, cultural diversity and divided political struggle, the Rajbanshi are far from achieving their goal of pursuing better lives. Strategies of Sanskritization and ‘sons-of-the-soil’ indigeneity have not reaped the desired results in terms of social and economic development. Furthermore, discourses rooted in immigrant-aboriginal binaries and theoretical dichotomies of primordialism–constructivism fail to make sense of this community's experience and are not helpful in guiding them toward meaningful and fruitful political and social change.

Equivocating on reconciliation

This critical discourse analysis of welfare workers' responses to reconciliation demonstrates the ways in which language operates to maintain Indigenous people's disenfranchisement and oppression within the Australian polity. It cautions against welfare personnel assuming more liberation within their ranks than found within general society.     

两部企业宪法蕴含的中国本土管理元素探析——基于鞍钢宪法和华为基本法的研究

鞍山钢铁公司和华为公司的发展和成功模式凝练而成的2部企业宪法分别成为计划经济时代和市场经济时代的经典企业管理纲领,它们根植于中国经济的土壤和中国的管理情境,其成功经验和管理模式具有可参照性、可移植性。结合2个公司的成长轨迹,深入分析企业宪法内容,可以发现其蕴含的3个主要的中国本土管理元素:整体平衡的管理哲学、"集体主义"的组织行为和英雄领袖的魅力型领导,每个本土管理元素又包含着更多具体的中国式管理理念和方法。     

The sociolinguistics of exogamy: Dialect acquisition in a Zhuang village

Adult dialect acquisition is typically studied in relatively idiosyncratic situations where adults happen to move to another community. But how does dialect acquisition play out in indigenous minority societies that have systemic adult migration due to exogamy? Do the in‐married spouses acquire the local variety? Why or why not? How much do they acquire? We investigated an indigenous Zhuang community in southern China. Sociophonetic analyses of in‐married women and local villagers show that the in‐married women acquired the local variety in most respects but not in aspirated consonants. To the limits of their phonological ability as adult learners, the wives followed the local sociolinguistic norm: they acquired the husbands’ variety. By contrast, in societies experiencing greater external cross‐cultural contact, exogamous women sometimes use their liminal status to challenge such gendered sociolinguistic expectations. Comparing the present study with outcomes in different societies, we lay the foundation for a typology of the sociolinguistics of exogamy. In this way, we help expand the study of language and gender toward new horizons and under‐represented social settings.     

中国本土管理研究的X整合主义

对于中国本土管理研究应该采用什么样的哲学基础这一问题,黄光国和李平有着截然相反的判断,他们的观点可以看成是对立的两极。基于此,试图在这两个极端之间开辟一条中间路线:既不完全同意黄光国关于本土研究必须采用西方科学哲学的判断,也不认同李平关于中国传统哲学的智慧哲学诠释,而是通过融会阴阳思想、儒道哲学、波尔互补原理及黑格尔辩证逻辑等中西哲学元素,尝试建构中国本土管理研究的道理论、认识论和方法论。这样的一种哲学观可以被称之为X整合主义。     

Ngā Mōwaho: an analysis of Māori responses to the Christchurch earthquakes

Since September 2010, a series of earthquakes have caused widespread social, financial and environmental devastation in Christchurch, New Zealand. Anecdotal evidence suggests that local Māori responded effectively to facilitate community recovery and resilience. However, the form, content and extent of that response has not been adequately recognised or documented. This qualitative research project, conducted in partnership with Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu, has documented the way in which Māori cultural factors have facilitated disaster risk reduction and management in response to the earthquakes. This paper explores sets of understandings about marginalisation and inclusion within the narratives of 70 Māori community members who contributed to this research. Forms of marginalisation expressed in participants’ narratives include delayed linkages to the formal emergency management infrastructure, difficulties integrating Māori volunteers into the mainstream response as well as enduring barriers to Māori engagement within Civil Defence, illustrated in a lack of Māori representation as well as tikanga Māori within emergency planning. We argue that the knowledge, principles and practices embedded within Māori responses to the Christchurch earthquakes may be contextually relevant for national and regional policy development in the area of disaster risk management, response and recovery.     

论台湾原住民和海南黎族文身习俗的异同及其功能

文章结合有关的文献史料及近代学者调查资料对台湾原住民和海南黎族的文身习俗进行比较研究认为 ,因为同处在原始社会形态社会背景之下 ,两地文身习俗在方法、图案、部位、年龄以及禁忌等方面所表现出来的文化特征必然是大同小异 ,但由于台湾原住民和海南黎族内部不同族群、不同支系之间社会经济发展存在不平衡性 ,决定了两地的文身习俗所体现出来的社会功能绝非单一 ,而是多元的。     

作为本土知识的仪式空间--以大理喜洲为例

社会人类学家提出,行政、市场、仪式是三种形成空间的力量.笔者根据在大理喜洲的田野工作提出,虽然三种力量造成了三种社会空间,但只有仪式空间才是当地人的本土知识.行政和市场力量形成的空间因变动不定而脱离了本土社会分类,只能用客位的视角观察到.因此,在探讨空间形成力量之前,研究者应该在主位与客位的视角之间做出选择.     

中国社会心理学方法论初探

西方心理学是在对物质世界的科学认识中逐渐生成的,因此它在研究方法论上具有很强的实证主义倾向,并影响着人格心理学、社会心理学和文化心理学的发展。但本土心理学在实证主义的引导下所进行的本土研究,却往往误解和肢解当地人的心理和行为。其实,受中国自身的文化预设、社会认知和思维模式的影响,本土方法论是人文主义取向的,其中所包含的整体论思维、引导性概念及类比推理等对本土心理学方法论的建立具有启示作用。
