浙江人文环境与章太炎的民族主义思想

辛亥时期的著名革命宣传家章太炎的民族主义思想有两大特色。一是章太炎的反清思想特别激烈而全面。文章认为 ,清兵南下时的所作所为、当年浙江抗清特别壮烈及此后浙人受清廷打击特重这一系列因素 ,使浙人仇清思想特别强烈 ,并对章太炎的抗清思想产生了较大影响。二是章太炎将大量国学知识运用于反清宣传 ,使之充满浓郁的文化气息。文章指出 ,章太炎成长在南宋后文化教育最发达的江南 ,又自小受家庭及许多著名学者的教导 ,辛亥时期已是国学大师 ,其文能旁征博引、古朴典雅 ,这使他在当时宣传反清中起了别人无法代替的独特作用     

文化心理学的多重含义与多元取向

文化心理学的多重含义与多元取向,一是涉及到心理学研究对象的文化属性,即怎样对待人的心理行为的文化内涵的问题;二是涉及到心理学研究方式的文化属性,即怎样对待一门独立科学门类的文化特性的问题;三是涉及到心理学研究领域的文化分支,文化心理学、跨文化心理学、本土心理学等,都是涉及到文化的重要的心理学研究;四是涉及到心理学研究取向的文化多元。文化心理学的兴起意味着心理学本身正在发生深刻的变化。这主要体现为对心理学研究对象的重新理解,对心理学研究方式的积极变革,对心理学理论、方法和技术的原创性建构。

Doha’s cultural armature on display: a response to Artifacts and Allegiances: How Museums put the Nation and the World on Display

After a brief discussion of the rapidly changing international museum world in Doha, this response piece engages with Peggy Levitt’s arguments around cultural armature and the role of museums in managing a city’s diversity, focusing on Doha, Qatar. Given the dominant migrant foreign population (88 per cent) and the careful protection of national citizenship in Qatar, the role of museums in managing diversity presents a situation that contrasts with older nation states: rather than encouraging inclusion, the museums in Qatar and the Arabian Peninsula states play a role in constructing and protecting a pure concept of national identity on behalf of a minority citizen population that deliberately fails to embrace any notion of diversity. This piece uses brief case studies to illustrate this process of exclusion, expanding Levitt’s original argument.     

Autonomy and resilience in cultural work: looking beyond the ‘creative industries’

How do cultural workers deal with the tension between autonomy and control in their working lives? One answer, advanced in this journal by Mark Banks in 2010, is that cultural autonomy provides scope for self-realisation, and potentially for ways of working that challenge commercial and managerial constraints. It allows those with critical inclinations to resist unpalatable controls and initiate processes of struggle which may deliver improvements in the conduct and experience of work. More recent empirical studies have cast doubt on this interpretation, pointing to patterns of instrumental behaviour and conforming autonomy that reinforce earlier images of controlled or self-interested ‘creatives’. With most of the relevant research focused on commercial contexts, this article considers whether publicly funded art provides more fertile terrain for the destabilising autonomy thesis. Four years of fieldwork with community arts practitioners in Scotland and Northern Ireland captures the everyday pressures of struggling to survive and to resist neoliberal cultural policies, managerial controls and fluctuating incomes. It also reveals collective capacities to intervene that are consistent with the Banks image of dissenting activists for change. The abiding impression at the end of the research is of grinding struggle rather than progressive change, however, or even sustained relief.     

Introduction: mediating affect

ABSTRACT

This Special Issue brings together seven affective mediations on the theme of mediating affect. The articles were presented in an earlier form at the inaugural Affect Theory Conference, held in Millersville (USA) in October 2015. Responding to a Call for Papers, authors were invited to take on the question of ‘media’ and ‘mediation’ in the context of the blossoming field of affect studies. Each article in turn tackles a particular trajectory of concern examined as a multiplicity – the philosophy/study of living and feeling, fear and the amplification of affect, trauma and absence, detention and compassion, memorialization and shōjo (少女) (the girl trope in postwar Japanese cinema), and whiteness and the good life. The theoretical, disciplinary, and cultural lineages are many. Developed together within the context of the project of cultural studies, the resulting Special Issue provides an opportunity to consider more deeply how ‘media-world assemblages’ (Murphie, A., in press. The world as medium. In: E. Manning, A. Munster, S. Thomsen and B. Marie, eds. Immediations. Sydney: Open Humanities Press) give rise to certain political and ethical questions. In this Issue, we encounter six different media-world formations and learn how they shift as they pulsate with affective relations. As well as introducing these relations, this Introduction canvases some of the conceptual work that has gone into ‘mediating affect’, addressing the context that underpins this bringing together of terms and seeking out ways of provoking further research.     

Emotional labour and aboriginal maternal infant care workers: The invisible load

Background

The term ‘emotional labour’ has been used to describe the competing demands on midwives to empathize with clients whilst maintaining a level of professional detachment. Previous research indicates that when individuals experience difficulty managing these emotions, burnout may result. Aboriginal health care workers often have roles with large emotional demands, as they are relied upon heavily to engage clients in care. However, the concept of emotional labour has received little attention in relation to this group.

“文化”场域的博弈与“遗产”价值的重构——基于彝族禳灾记忆遗产化案例的思考

彝族禳灾仪式及节日是特定人群在特定生存环境中的生活经验与集体记忆,是适应其生产生活的有效地方性知识,是彝族人对日常生活世界的意义表达。但在当下社会场域中,不同主体从自身所属利益共同体出发,赋予其形态各异的价值取向。在此过程中,禳灾记忆主体的传统地位被改变,原有“价值”在新的评判标准下被重新评价和书写。因此,本文将通过不同主体在申遗“在场”中的话语、行动和博弈,呈现申遗作为一种公共行为如何被行政权力、商业资本、地方精英、当地民众等主体进行价值重构并符号化;分析概念化的非遗保护在实践语境中的差异性及原因。在此基础上,从禳灾仪式之一的彝族儿童节“阿依蒙格”反思申遗与文化认同之间的矛盾及可能的解决路径。
