Transnational queer sociological analysis of sexual identity and civic‐political activism in Hong Kong,Taiwan and mainland China

The sociology of homosexuality lacks engagement with queer theory and postcolonialism and focuses primarily on the global metropoles, thus failing to provide a plausible account of non‐Western non‐normative sexual identities. This research adopts the author’s newly proposed transnational queer sociology to address these deficiencies. First, it critiques the Western model of sexual identity predominantly employed to elucidate non‐Western, non‐normative sexualities. It does so by examining not only the queer flows between West and non‐West but also those among and within non‐Western contexts to produce translocally shared and mutually referenced experiences. Second, the proposed approach combines sociology with queer theory by emphasizing the significant role of material, as well as discursive, analyses in shaping queer identities, desires and practices. This article employs the approach to examine young gay male identities, as revealed in 90 in‐depth interviews conducted in Hong Kong (n = 30), Taiwan (Taipei, n = 30) and mainland China (Shanghai, n = 30) between 2017 and 2019. More specifically, it highlights the interplay between the state and identity by investigating the intersection and intertwining effects of these young men’s sexual and cultural/national identities, revealing three different forms of civic‐political activism. The article both demonstrates the way in which sexuality and the state are mutually constituted and provides nuanced analysis of the heterogeneity of contemporary homosexualities in Hong Kong, Taiwan and mainland China. In applying a new sociological approach to understanding sexuality, this research joins the growing body of scholarship within sociology that is decentring the Western formation of universal knowledge.     

滕尼斯与齐美尔:社会伦理同文化伦理的分流

作为德国社会学的两位奠基人,滕尼斯和齐美尔奠定了截然相反的两种现代伦理生活格局。伦理世界观的分流源于他们各自对时代处境的体验以及对思想史的独特解释。从近代自然法的角度出发,滕尼斯的社会伦理的核心是重建政治社会的秩序与风尚,一切价值最终都要融入社会;与此相反,齐美尔的社会学思考从一开始就以对社会伦理的批评作为前提,他将超越社会的个体生命视作伦理的目的,对他来说,生命不仅意味着身处社会之中的个体具有饱满个性,而且从自身孕育出客观的、适用于他自己的伦理责任。从帝制时期到魏玛时期,德国社会伦理同文化伦理的分流、交织与合流为我们提供了一条理解德国社会学史的清晰主线。     

Challenges of operationalizing trauma‐informed practice in child protection services in New Zealand

New Zealand is undergoing major change in service delivery to children and families. A new Ministry for Children Oranga Tamariki has been established to oversee 5 work streams, one of which provides intensive intervention with families requiring a statutory response to child protection concerns. The government minister responsible promised that the service would be child‐centred and trauma‐informed. To date, these terms remain undefined, and there is no shared understanding of their meaning. Practice frameworks to support the work of the new ministry are still being developed, creating something of a vacuum in the meantime. The focus of this paper is the challenge of implementing trauma‐informed practice in the child protection service provided by the Intensive Intervention work stream. Limited research or commentary on trauma‐informed practice in this context currently exists. Drawing on the relevant available literature, the concept and its application in child protection social work is explored. An ecological framework is used to discuss the changes needed to achieve this. Particular attention is paid to the impact of historical trauma for indigenous people due to New Zealand's colonial history and their over‐representation in care and protection services.

农民城市化进程中的文化冲突及其解决——图式理论的视角

本文运用文化图式理论来跨学科地对农民城市化进程中所遭遇的文化冲突进行分析。认为农民在城市化进程中所遭遇的文化冲突从根本上来说,是两种异质文化的文化图式冲突所导致的。城市化进程中,农民在城市中会积极通过对异质文化的认知、学习及经验习得过程,逐步接受城市文化的文化图式,通过自身文化图式的重构来克服这种文化冲突,从而真正完成其城市化的进程。     

我国传媒消费主义的文化语境和现实表征

大众传媒通过对社会生活的文化关注和对社会大众的舆论导向发挥着它的社会公信力,我国社会转型后崛起的大众消费模式作为一种文化形态自然会进入传媒文化的内容构成。另外,市场机制的运作使大众传媒更加关注产品内容的“可消费性”,消费主义和商业利润之间的天然维系使传媒消费主义成为一种时代的必然。从文化语境和现实表征层面来透视传媒消费主义更有利于对它作出理性的解读和思考。     

关于少数民族非物质文化遗产保护实践的反思——以中国瑶族盘王节为例

自2003年联合国科教文组织在巴黎第三十二届会议通过<保护非物质文化遗产公约>以来,非物质文化遗产的申请和保护工作就在我国如火如荼地展开,以此为契机,各种旅游文化节应运而生.本文以"中国瑶族盘王节"这种将非物质文化遗产保护与经济、旅游开发相结合的模式为例,试图阐明以政府主控的旅游文化节给本民族"精神家园"可能带来的危机,以及非物质文化遗产主体的"迷失",主体或"缺场"或"失语",这为非物质文化遗产的保护工作带来了挑战,值得我们深刻地反思.
