Im/possible lives: gender,class, self-fashioning,and affinal solidarity in modern South Asia

Drawing on ethnographic research and employing a micro-historical approach that recognizes not only the transnational but also the culturally specific manifestations of modernity, this article centers on the efforts of a young woman to negotiate shifting and conflicting discourses about what a good life might consist of for a highly educated and high caste Hindu woman living at the margins of a nonetheless globalized world. Newly imaginable worlds in contemporary Mithila, South Asia, structure feeling and action in particularly gendered and classed ways, even as the capacity of individuals to actualize those worlds and the ‘modern’ selves envisioned within them are constrained by both overt and subtle means. In the context of shifting cultural anchors, new practices of silence, literacy, and even behaviors interpreted as ‘mental illness’ may become tactics in an individual's negotiation of conflicting self-representations. The confluence of forces at play in contemporary Mithila, moreover, is creating new structures of feeling that may begin to reverse long-standing locally held assumptions about strong solidarities between natal families and daughters, on the one hand, and weak solidarities between affinal families and new daughters-in-law, on the other.

李煜及李清照后期词的构思方式及其创作渊源

李煜和李清照后期词的感情基调极为近似,于是不少读者由此推及并认为他们的创作风格及艺术特点相一致。事实上并不尽然。李煜词少羁约,故而称得上婉约中的豪放派;李清照则是标准的婉约词人。他们的词都浅平通俗,但给读者的感染力却有通透、郁结之分。从他们后期词的构思角度进行分析,或可说明两者的差异及形成这种差异的根源。
