Ethical encounters: Spivak,Alexander and Kincaid

This essay seeks to engage with the idea of the possibility of meaningful ethical encounters with another. It does not attempt to engage with the broader discourse of ethics. Its purpose is simply to read a few of Gayatri Spivak’s discussions about ethics and alterity and offer a reading of three postcolonial texts in the context of that reading.

国际政治中整体主义研究路径的运用——以亚历山大·温特的思想为例

当今国际政治领域占主导地位的两大理论流派,新现实主义以及新自由主义都采用了方法论的个体主义路径,且两流派的公共假设中有许多相同之处,因此从认识论的角度出发,新现实主义和新自由主义都属于理性主义(rationalism)。建构主义理论在20世纪80年代中后期兴起,其独特的研究视角使其成为主流理论的有力挑战者。文章拟从建构主义范式对整体主义研究路径的运用探讨其对国际政治理论发展的影响。

蒲柏诗歌创作中的永恒之美

蒲柏是18世纪上半叶英国启蒙运动时期最具代表性的新古典主义诗人。他在文学创作上遵循古典主义原则,善用“英雄双韵体”,且技巧圆熟,几臻完美,令人叹为观止。蒲柏的诗歌不仅形式美仑美奂,内容更是美不胜收。读他的诗,让人赏心悦目之余,更有一种心灵洗礼后升华的感觉。这便是这位不幸的诗人从苦难中提炼出来的永恒之美的魅力所在。

第四次十字军东征中英诺森三世的影响

第四次十字军东征转向问题一直以来是个值得探讨的领域。它的发生是偶然还是必然,史学研究者各执一词。有的主张偶然论,有的主张阴谋论,有人归咎于威尼斯人。认为英诺森三世起到了不可忽视的作用,他的宗教扩张欲望对第四次十字军东征起到了很大的影响。     

CRIME,ART AND PUBLIC CULTURE

Jane Alexander's ‘Security’ was installed at the 2009 Joburg Art Fair as a Special Project. This essay investigates notions of being guarded and fenced-in, which are implicit in this piece, in an attempt to breathe new life into a space that has all too easily been blanketed as a new form of ‘apartheid’ in contemporary South Africa. Rather, I suggest, what ‘Security’ allowed its publics to experience was a complex process of working through the everyday ingredients of the post-apartheid, and so to realize new connections between strangers. I argue that this work, at this time, probes at the nexus of a private–public sphere that allows for a real-time grappling with issues of a private nature in the public. The essay further positions this work in relation to some others by Alexander in an attempt to more fully grasp what ‘Security’ says about the present moment. Finally, the Joburg Art Fair is investigated as a setting richly suggestive of this moment in South Africa that simultaneously projects, and allows for, ambivalence in its art publics.
