Narratives of national belonging: the domestic,the wild,and the mutant in Australian film

This article explores understandings of postcolonial national belonging through an analysis of cinematic representations of humans, animals and the environment. It does so by analyzing a series of Australian films about plants, animals or people who are out of place or out of control. The article registers some of the changing representations of Australian flora, fauna and, by association people, as native, domesticated, simpatico, feral and wild; interpreting these shifts as recalibrations of a moral hierarchy of cultural belonging. Films including Lantana (2001) Dir. Ray Lawrence; Razorback (1984) Dir. Russell Mulchay; Rogue (2007) Dir. Greg Mclean; and Black Water (2007) Dirs. David Nerlich and Andrew Traucki are read in terms of political anxieties. Drawing on work ‘that insists humans and animals are currently bound in a complex network of relationships’, I use these films to explore issues of the nation, place, belonging in relation to aliens and natives. Given that in the past 20 years there has been increasing recognition of the history of colonialism and its effects on Indigenous peoples but also a different but related blossoming of environmental nationalism, the key question that animates this research is how these understandings are represented in film and what work animals and plants might have played in filmic cultural representations of national belonging.     

The origins and nature of American nationalism

This article critically analyzes the origins and nature of American nationalism. The first part examines the historiographical debate on the question in what period the formation of an American national identity occurred, i.e. before or after the American Revolution. The second part is concerned with the nature of American nationalism, casting doubt on the claim that American nationalism is exceptional, i.e. inherently different and morally superior to other nationalisms. It refutes the exceptionalist claim by applying recent findings in European nationalism research to the American case and by reinterpreting American nationalism not as an introspective phenomenon but as a demarcation process.     

新目录学派志:英国文学考据的兴起与没落

通过介绍以沃特·威尔逊·格雷格爵士为代表的目录派三杰,在对文学文本基本物质形态从手稿到印刷文本辨伪和考证批评的基础上,经过厘定文本讹误和四次重要的学术论战,确立了作者的神圣地位,让文学成为绝对科学化的大学学科,但新目录派最终却退出了现代西方文论思潮。观照几乎同时产生于印刷术所带来的学术分裂期的中国乾嘉派,它能够客观对待经学作者,并形成了系统的治学方法,从而稳步发展为今天的朴学大潮,在此视阈下分析并阐明新目录派无法形成体系的原因,恰在于其过分强调科学权威性而漠视了文学本身的独特因素造成的方枘圆凿,藉此提出中国治学方法借鉴于西方文论批评的可行性。     

New cultural economies of marginality: revisiting the West Coast,South Island,New Zealand

Marginal regions have been the subject of political concern and remedial action in western states for several decades now. The West Coast of the South Island of New Zealand is an interesting case study in this regard, for recent economic growth has confounded earlier expectations of post-restructuring decline, while also contradicting several of the nostrums of new regionalism. In an effort to understand this trajectory, this paper draws on documents from public and private sector organisations, newspaper articles and field visits to examine developments in four key sectors of the West Coast's economy: mining, dairy farming, forestry and tourism. Economic growth is found to be closely linked to the cultivation of new markets for primary products, but efforts to rework the cultural dimensions of marginality have also been important. Value has been added to specific products through the insertion of references to the region's alpine and forested landscapes. Isolation and peripherality have been recast in more positive terms, echoing the broader reframing of New Zealand as a scenic, unspoiled destination. In adopting a cultural economic perspective on marginal regions, the paper illustrates the significance of symbolic forms of value, the potentially flexible nature of marginality as a discursive category, and the importance of the networks which connect regions to national and international flows of capital and tourists.     

女性主义文化批评视阈下的“开罗三部曲”

在近现代埃及文学史上,女性在新的“解放”话语系统中依旧被塑造成“他者”的地位,女性解放神话的出现只是为了掩盖作为主体的女性不在场的事实。本文试图通过对埃及著名作家纳吉布·马哈福兹的代表作“开罗三部曲”中三种女性反抗传统性别角色的分析,指出由男性主控的女性解放话语在女性的新型性别角色的塑造和自我规范中产生的影响。     

五四新文化运动与欧洲文艺复兴运动比较

五四新文化运动与欧洲文艺复兴运动生成于不同时期,植根于不同土壤,二者既有一些共同之处,又有不少差异。对其进行比较,有助于加深我们对两个运动各自特性的认识。其共同点是：（一）对传统的批判与重建;（二）倡导文学革命;（三）抨击封建权威思想;（四）呼唤人性的复苏,倡导个人的解放。其不同点是：（一）背景不同;（二）影响力不同;（三）带来的后果不同。     

中国现代泛印象主义文学批评的文化品格

“印象的批评”是旨在强化批评家个性主体意识和主观情感评价功能、以主观的和印象的审美眼光评价文学的一种泛化批评形态。中国现代泛印象主义文学批评在20年代和30年代中国现代文化语境中成为文坛上的一道独特风景线。他们所倡导的文学批评的自由与宽容、创造与超越的理论品格,对20世纪中国现代文学中的历史主义和政治论、道德论文艺批评,具有本体论意义上的借鉴意义和认识价值。

中华文化的过去、现在和未来

文化是国家和民族的标志,它可分成不同的层次和类别。中华文明丰富多彩,错综复杂。中华文化来源是多元的,商周以来,中原文化逐渐向外扩散,并吸取周边各种文化,从而成为中华文化的主体。任何文化,单凭自己的内部力量,难以有大的发展。中华文化在成长和细密化过程中各种学术异彩纷呈,并以其博大的胸怀广泛吸收异质文化。20世纪的历史,是中华民族从封闭消沉走向文化自觉的历史。民族的文化自觉决定着文化走向和建设的快慢、质量的高低。当前,应该对中华民族大家庭各民族文化遗产进行保护和抢救,鼓励发展雅文化,建设好大学校园文化,建设好地方文化。
