当代城市文化建设的哲学思考

文化是城市的灵魂和发展动力,是塑造"城市人"的关键因素;建筑是城市文化的载体,是一座城市的记忆,二者统一于城市有机体之中。城市建设既要懂得它的外表之美(建筑),也要注重它的内心之美(文化内涵),只有将物质化的建筑和灵妙化的文化相结合,才能建设美丽宜居城市。北京是一座历史文化名城,其中,南锣鼓巷拥有着极具北京特色的历史文化建筑,富有混合、独特的文化气息。传统与现代在这里相交融,中式与西式在这里相碰撞,南锣鼓巷因此成为中外游客体验老北京民俗风情、感受流行文化的首选。通过分析南锣鼓巷这一典型的北京历史文化街区,对城市文化建设的内容进行辩证思考。     

凌子风立志恢复天桥

北京天桥，是清末民初五方亲处的闹市、民间艺术与贸易中心。当年来北京的外地人，以一游故宫，二逛天桥引为快事。北影厂“凌子风创作室”策划恢复的天桥将建设在海淀区，占地150亩。估计投资需上亿元人民币，投资方已有数家，不存在资金问题。但工程太大，涉及方方面面，能否顺利实现，还持北京市有关部门批示。恢复的天桥，不仅要有京味小吃、杂耍，还要重现地道的京城建筑。凌子风特别强调说，“不是洋楼顶上盖琉璃瓦的建筑，那不是北京的民俗。”凌子民说，恢复了天桥，将可能有三千人得到就业，相信会成为北京老百姓感兴趣的一件事。…     

青铜文化与现代科技的结合——记上海交大青铜文化复兴公司

青铜,一种铜锡合金的名称,又是一个时代的象征。当年“禹铸九鼎”,被奉为传国之宝。自那时起,中华民族有一部绚丽多彩的青铜文化史。“铸镜须青铜,青铜易磨拭”,“壮士亦何为,素丝悲青铜”。4000年后的今天,上海市一批有志之士,以高科技探秘,铸成一件件熔文化、艺术、工艺于一炉的青铜珍品,重现华夏民族青铜文化之瑰丽风采。这就是上海交通大学青铜文化复兴公司。 入梦圆梦

大栅栏的老字号

在老北京,老字号在大栅栏最为集中。大栅栏一条街,并不长,只有275米,宽也就是5米左右。在这样一条短短的街上,清末民初两旁挤满了80多家店铺,家家都是老字号,这在北京城是绝无仅有的奇迹。     

政治象征理论的钩沉与反思——兼论象征政治学理路的铺设北大核心CSSCI

政治象征作为新制度主义政治学的核心主题之一,其复兴在近30年中可谓缓滞。在当前政治理论和实践皆已巨变的背景下铺设一条象征政治学的新理路,需要对政治象征的学术史作重新梳理和反思。人类学通过分析象征在社会结构和政治过程中的具体作用,逐渐将权力当作政治象征研究的主要方向;早期政治科学的奠基者基于对政治象征与性情和情境这两类因素之间关系的界定,为政治象征研究筑造了相对独立的心理学基础;后行为主义政治学时期的研究者则以行政系统中的象征作用和象征意义的生成模式为重点,初步构建起体系性的政治象征分析框架。基于这些文献梳理工作,本文构建了一条象征政治学理路,以为拓展和深化政治实践范畴中的国家建设、政府治理和政治文化等核心问题的研究提供新的思路。

论列夫托尔斯泰诗性启示的象征

象征是托尔斯泰诗性启示获得表达的途径，也是理解托尔斯泰启示诗学的关键所在，尔斯泰对象征的选择，也是一种化意义上的选择，只有把它置放在俄罗斯化传统这一具体语境里，才能提示完整内涵，对于以揭示人生形而上体验上目的的托尔斯泰来说，借助象征达到对未能言尽意旨的把握，是一种必然的选择，也是一种宿命的选择。     

From absent to present pasts: civil society,democracy and the shifting place of memory in Brazil

This article takes Alexis de Tocqueville’s concern with the emotional life of citizens as a cue for exploring the role of collective memory within ‘the self-organizing sphere’ and asking how the invocation of memory affects progress towards democracy. The article hones in on the Brazilian experience, re-assessing Brazil’s amnesiac past as well as its much-lauded ‘turn to memory’. Against common assertions that Brazil’s ‘turn to memory’ will enhance the country’s democratic credentials, this article argues that the move from an ‘absent’ to a ‘present’ past in Brazil in fact bodes rather mixed prospects for the country’s democratic deepening.     

Carpool Karaoke: deconstructing the directly lived experience of hearing oneself singing

The various ways whereby spatial conditions afford to monumentalize culture and to appropriate geographically demarcated places in terms of individual and collective meaning structures has been amply documented in urban cultural studies. However, considerably less attention has been paid to how cultural identity is produced against the background of musical temporality. By way of a phenomenological inquiry into the staged spectacle of James Corden’s (the host of CBS Network’s Late Late Show) Carpool Karaoke, this paper addresses the issues of directly lived experience and authenticity as facets of cultural identity. By critically discussing the assumptions of self-presence and auto-affectivity while singing and listening to one’s sung voice against the background of pre-recorded songs, the notion of directly lived musical experience is put to the test. Furthermore, by examining the dramaturgical scaffolding of Carpool Karaoke, the analysis points to wider implications for post-modern cultural studies in terms of an identified ironic reversal of modernist universal criteria of legitimacy in favor of a celebration of post-modern being-with inauthentically. The analysis of the selected Carpool Karaoke corpus utilizes a resourceful blend of phenomenological method, semiotics and interpretive videography while challenging embedded orthodoxies in the extant literature.     

Citizenship rights in Malaysia: the experience of social and institutional discrimination among ethnic minorities

This article examines the experience of political, social and cultural rights for Malaysia's ethnic minorities. Using a survey method, our research finds that while Malaysia has made substantial economic progress, lack of attention to political, social and cultural rights for ethnic minorities in Malaysia has meant that ethnic minorities have become increasingly dissatisfied with their experience of citizenship. Experiences of institutional and social discrimination within Malaysia's ethnically differentiated model of citizenship are common. Such experiences can lead to low levels of confidence in Malaysia's national institutions and have the capacity to undermine the kind of political support that is necessary for good governance and national stability.     

The Contingent Diffusion of Parliamentary Oversight Institutions in the European Union

What explains the variation in institutional adaptation of national parliaments to European integration? Whereas the existing literature has mainly focused on domestic conditions, this article explains institutional adaptation to integration by focusing on inter‐parliamentary diffusion. The argument draws on ‘learning’ mechanisms of diffusion on the demand side and on ‘emulation’ mechanisms on the supply side. Parliamentary demand for external inspiration is related to uncertainty about functional oversight institutions, and the selection of sources to perceptions of similarity and success. Demand arises in new European Union member parliaments and young democracies that then turn towards culturally alike countries and old democracies. Using spatial econometrics, support is demonstrated for the argument in the article while ruling out alternative diffusion mechanisms such as spatial proximity and learning from Scandinavian frontrunners once links along cultural similarity and democratic experience are controlled for. The results underline the limits of the ‘isolated polity’ approach in the comparative study of institutions in Europe's closely integrated political system, while also showing that, even in this favourable environment, diffusion pathways are contingent on the mechanisms generating demand among policy makers and shaping their selection of sources for external information.     

‘Austria First’ revisited: a diachronic cross-sectional analysis of the gender and body politics of the extreme right

ABSTRACT

In this paper, Rheindorf and Wodak provide a discourse-historical analysis of extreme-right cultural politics in Austria, ranging from the blatant racism in the speeches of Vienna’s former Deputy Mayor Johann Gudenus (now MP in the Austrian parliament) to the construction of an idealized national body in the election campaigns of the Freiheitliche Partei Österreichs (FPÖ), its programmatic agenda in handbooks and pamphlets, and the performances of far-right pop singer Andreas Gabalier. Rheindorf and Wodak argue that such cultural politics use a wide spectrum of discursive strategies both inside and outside established party politics and that the accompanying production of an ideal extreme-right subject is informed by nativist ideology. The cross-sectional analysis demonstrates that the cultural politics of the Austrian extreme right ranges from appropriated national symbols to coded National Socialist iconography. These politics pervasively construct a gendered and racialized national body, policed by a ‘strict father’ and nurtured by a ‘self-sacrificing mother’, vis-à-vis an apocalyptic threat scenario identified with migration, intellectual and political elites, cosmopolitanism and progressive gender politics.     

Philosophy and the History of Art

Abstract

Schelling’s philosophy of art between 1801 and 1807 can be defined as metaphysics of art. The object of that metaphysics is to deploy the absolute as the being of art and of the arts. Schelling has been criticized on the basis that this metaphysics of art represses the infinite diversity of existing works of art, while overlooking concrete aesthetic experience. Based on Schelling’s definition of the “philosophical construction” of art as an inseparably speculative and historical construction, the aim of this paper is to challenge such assertions. It will show that “historical construction” has to be understood in a twofold manner: first, as a transcendental history of the absolute’s artistic individuation and second, as a cultural history of both the ancient and modern worlds of art. Working within this twofold setting the paper argues that Schelling’s systematic approach, while exhibiting a unifying force, still remains open to the otherness of the real.     

美国汽车露营的符号消费性及对中国的启示

从让·鲍德里亚的符号消费理论来看,休闲已演变为一种符号消费的对象,而作为一种户外休闲活动的汽车露营也被赋予符号消费的价值,普通汽车露营与房车露营作为不同的消费符号界定了美国中产阶级与上层阶级的身份与社会地位。依美国汽车露营发展的历程看,房车露营在中国还是富人阶层的符号消费,中国目前更适合重点发展大众的普通汽车露营度假产业。

Lessons from the past? Cultural memory in Dutch integration policy

This article explores the contribution that cultural memory studies can make to the debate about the role of ideas and the dynamics of ideational change in policy making. Cultural memory studies engage with the cultural dimensions of remembering, and analyse how shared images of the past are mediated and transferred across distance and time. Such research shows how the past may continue to influence the present by informing the frameworks through which groups and individuals interpret and give meaning to events and phenomena. Since policy makers operate within a cultural context, shared memories are likely also to affect the way they think about the nature and roots of policy issues and the appropriateness and feasibility of policy options. In this article, policy memory (the memory shared by policy makers about earlier policies) is identified as a subcategory of cultural memory. The role of cultural memory among policy makers is studied with reference to Dutch integration policies in two periods: the mid‐1990s and the early 2000s. On the basis of an in‐depth analysis of policy reports and parliamentary debates, references to the past and the role they play in the policy debate are identified. Different modes of dealing with the past are found in the two periods studied, reflecting the different political contexts in which the debates took place. In the 1990s, the memory of earlier policy was invoked in the mode of continuity – that is, policy change was legitimised (conceived) as part of a positive tradition. In the 2000s, memory was invoked in the mode of discontinuity. The same policies were reinterpreted in more negative terms and policy change legitimised by the perceived need to break with the past. Arguably, this reinterpretation of the past was a precondition for the shift in policy beliefs that took place around that time.
