The Enchantment of Agriculture: State Decentering and Irrigated Rice Production in Bali

This article explores state involvement in the ‘enchanted’ aspects of irrigated rice production in Bali, Indonesia. Modernising states invariably forward what Max Weber called the rationalisation and disenchantment of the world. In irrigation management, the Indonesian colonial and postcolonial states operated staunchly on this model. ‘Enchanted’ elements of Balinese rice production involving temples and rituals were assumed irrelevant and sidelined. Recently, however, bursts of state-funded construction of irrigation temples and shrines suggest a surprising shift. The post-Suharto decentralised state appears to be supporting the enchantment of irrigated agriculture. This article deals with the relationship between legislation under the decentralised state and ritual building activities in Balinese irrigation associations (subak). We examine how contemporary farmers view the new emphasis on ‘ritual technology’. Does it constitute decentralised support of the farmers' world, of local priorities and variance, or a new homogenising project?     

浅析《魔法的粉笔》中的象征意义

日本现代派作家安部公房的作品受到了西方存在主义哲学的影响。在《魔法的粉笔》中,＂氩先生＂象征着处于困境又不甘于命运的摆布,遂借助想象来获得某种程度的精神解脱的可悲的现代人。＂夏娃＂是现实的化身,象征着当时社会里,思想上冷酷与拜金、行动上虚伪与莽撞的现代人。粉笔是权力的象征,是连接＂氩先生＂与现实和新世界的重要工具。封闭的小屋和墙壁象征封闭的社会,以及这种社会中的人际关系和人的孤独感觉。

Political Opportunity and Nested Institutions

Scholars use the concept of 'political opportunity structure' to explain how the political context affects the differential development and influence of ostensibly similar movements. Although the concept promises to become an important analytical tool for comparative studies, to date it is underspecified and undertheorized. It also faces new challenges in this era of increased transnational activism and more extensive scholarly recognition of activist ties across borders. In this paper I argue that assessing opportunity by looking exclusively at national political structures neglects the important role that international factors, such as alliances and transnational movements, play in constraining both states and their challengers. I begin by reviewing the literature on opportunity and drawing a synthesis between it and the literature on domestic influences of international politics. I argue that political institutions are nested in a larger international context, and that the tightness or looseness of that nesting affects the range of possible alliances and policy options available within states. I examine this framework by looking at New Zealand's decision in 1984 to prohibit port visits by nuclear-powered ships or ships that might be carrying nuclear weapons. I conclude by calling for more research that recognizes the interplay of national opportunities and international structures.     

《红楼梦》中的“通灵宝玉”

通灵宝玉是贾宝玉生而衔来的一枚宝物,贯穿《红楼梦》的始终。它不只是一枚护身符,还是封建宗教、政治与道德的物化形态,也是贵族婚姻制度的代言,更是贵族自我危机中身份重建的寄托。看似没有生命的通灵宝玉,却在贾宝玉的成长过程中,与其独特个性形成一种强烈的对立,表面体现的是以贾母、贾政为代表的封建家长与以贾宝玉为代表的贵族新青年之间的对立;实际体现的是没落封建贵族内部两种不同人生观价值观的对立;实质体现的则是没落封建礼教与新兴文化之间的对立。
