Nations,national identity and prestige

Prestige is a concept or factor that receives relatively little sustained attention in the specialist academic work on nations, national identity and nationalism. It is, however, an implicit influence in much of this literature. Evidence, perspectives and insights, suggesting that prestige is a vital element in the psychological constitution of nations, emerge from a diverse range of sources.     

Political constructions of a cross-community identity in a divided society: how politicians articulate Northern Irishness

ABSTRACT

A shared identity has been shown to reduce prejudice between conflicting social groups. One such common national category is the ‘Northern Irish’ identity which can be inclusive of both Catholics and Protestants. This study analyses the plenary sessions of the Northern Ireland Assembly to show how the national category ‘Northern Irish’ is framed by politicians. Content analysis shows that it is used more often by centrist parties who tend to frame it positively and as part of their political viewpoint. There is also evidence of the instrumental use of this identity by unionists in line with the ingroup projection model.     

海明威文学小说的悲剧特色和死亡意识

从古希腊悲剧开始,不管哪个时期的悲剧文本,虽然有各自的形式,有诸多差异,但最终殊途同归,都有着相同的结局。悲剧意识几乎成为了文学作品的共同特征,值得一提的是,悲剧特色往往会与死亡意识相结合,让文学作品散发出较强的生命意识。海明威的文学小说作品凝聚了悲剧性和死亡性两大要素,让小说本身充满了对于生命和人性的拷问。     

五十年来情绪人类学发展综述——心理人类学发展的趋势

人类学百年发展历程中,始终伴随着对心理学学科理论和实践资源的汲取,随着心理学逐渐对以往科学主义、本质主义的扬弃,将现象学、认知论纳入到学科反思、人类学研究也开辟了注重个体内在化情绪的人类学研究,形成了如今颇受瞩目的情绪人类学领域。阐释学大师格尔兹对于情绪关注的研究,启发后辈学者,心理人类学正越来越多地将情绪作为研究的对象,以揭示他者文化蕴藏的深意。

内圣外王之道与儒家文论话语构建的原初向度

内圣外王之道是对儒家理想的表达,其旨在于内足以资修养而外足以经世。“以六艺为养”的儒家从内圣工夫看待“诗”、“礼”、“乐”、“言”,不仅从创作方面为文艺树立了高远的理想,更赋予文艺一种切关存在意义的根源性。从外王事功视野看待“诗”、“礼”、“乐”、“言”,则文艺被纳入制度文化论域当中,对其功能价值的判定也就自然以制度文化建设为准绳,其最终指向便是通过文艺整顿人心、和合天下,造就上下有序、协调和睦的理想社会秩序。不过,内圣与外王之间的存在论断裂也造成儒家文论的结构性冲突。     

Resistance as Sacrifice: Toward an Ascetic Antiracism

Often described as an outcome, inequality is better understood as a social process—a function of how institutions are structured and reproduced, and the ways people act and interact within them across time. Racialized inequality persists because it is enacted moment to moment, context to context—and it can be ended should those who currently perpetuate it commit themselves to playing a different role instead. This essay makes three core contributions. First, it highlights a disturbing parity between the people who are most rhetorically committed to ending racialized inequality and those who are most responsible for its persistence. Next, it explores the origin of this paradox—how it is that ostensibly antiracist intentions are transmuted into “benevolently racist” actions. Finally, it presents an alternative approach to mitigating racialized inequality, one that more effectively challenges the self‐oriented and extractive logics undergirding systemic racism, rather than expropriating blame to others, or else adopting introspective and psychologized approaches to fundamentally social problems, those sincerely committed to antiracism can take concrete steps in the real world—actions that require no legislation or coercion of naysayers, just a willingness to personally make sacrifices for the sake of racial justice.     

Social cognition,social neuroscience,and evolutionary social psychology: What's missing?

In this paper I argue that something important, and something social, is missing from contemporary accounts of social cognition, social neuroscience and evolutionary social psychology. Contemporary accounts of social cognition focus on cognition directed towards social objects, that is, towards persons and social groups. In contrast, early twentieth century accounts of socially engaged cognition focused upon beliefs and attitudes oriented to the represented beliefs and attitudes of members of social ‘reference groups’ and directed towards both social and non‐social objects. I argue that this earlier conception of socially engaged cognition should be integrated with contemporary research on social cognition, social neuroscience and evolutionary social psychology, since it poses a challenge but also an opportunity for these disciplines.
