Dystopian Buenos Aires

This article explores the dystopian presence of Buenos Aires in Roberto Arlt's Los siete locos (The seven madmen) and its companion novel, Los lanzallamas (The flamethrowers). Both belong to a tradition of metropolitan narrative represented in Europe by authors such as Robert Musil, Alfred Döblin and James Joyce. Arlt's work, however, has a distinctive character, since it connects the expectations and anxieties unleashed by modernity with a dystopian imagination which has origins in nineteenth-century Argentina with its raison d'être being profoundly linked to the formation of an Argentine national identity.

从"现代性"到"世界性"--全球化语境下的中国文学走向

20世纪的中国文学完成了从“古典”到“现代”、从“旧文学”到“新文学”的演变。21世纪的中国文学将是由“现代性”向“世界性”过渡与演变的文学。20世纪的中国文学多受“政治”与“革命”的制约,21世纪的文学则多与“经济”相纠缠。经济全球化与文化多元发展是世界历史进程的总格局,全球化语境下的中国文学面临新的机遇与挑战,将会以新的民族性和时代风采融入世界文学之林。     

重构道统的可能性——作为一种当代中国法哲学的新道统论之建构

近五百年前,中国文化遭遇西方文化从而发生巨大的全方位裂变,其中作为中国文化之核心的中国学术之裂变最为剧烈。中国学术艰难地发生着转型,从传统迈向现代,走过了漫长的路程,虽然这一过程今天尚未完全结束,但从总体上看则处于一个逻辑的终结点上。今天中国的知识人承担着这样的学术使命,自觉地终结这五百年的文化发展逻辑,合乎逻辑地创造出中国现代学术的知识类型。中国学术走过了子学阶段、经学阶段和理学阶段,今天则合乎逻辑地过渡到法学阶段。不同时代的知识类型必有与之相适应的哲学观念为之奠基,作为今天中国学术新阶段的法学知识而言,其哲学观念必是与现代性相伴而生的,新道统论作为一种当代中国法哲学样式正是为这种法学知识奠基的。     

Feminism in a global era

Feminism is being re-shaped by its articulation through a global discourse of human rights and an increased focus on state interventions. This is partly a result of the transition in the gender regime changing the economic and political resources and opportunities open to women and partly due to globalization. Globalization has not only created difficulties for democratic governance, but it has also facilitated the development of new spaces, institutions and rhetoric where universal human rights is a powerful justificatory principle.     

'Fundamentalism', modernity and the new Jacobins

This paper offers an interpretaion of 'Islamic fundamentalism', especially the Iranian Revolution, in the context of sociological debates about 'modernity'. The problematic nature of both these terms is acknowledge. It criticizes explanations of 'fundamentalism' that begin from the assumption of a dichotomy between fundamentalism and modernity, arguing instead for a more nuanced understanding of both Islamic revivalism and the modern. The paper begins by offering a model of modernity as a set of bi-modal tensions within which Islamic 'fundamentalism' could be understood as a form of modernist revolutionary populism. This argument is then developed through a comparison betwen the 1979 Iranian Revolution and the Jacobin phase of the French Revolution. It argues that there are parallels between the idea of Islamic revolution and the Jacobin revolutionary imagination, which demonstrate with some observations on Islam, and the closure of the Jacobin revolutionary project.

社会主义核心价值体系建设的现代性论析

社会主义核心价值体系建设的实质是现代性问题。现代性的共识性涵义为社会主义核心价值体系建设提供了广阔的包容性空间。当前的社会主义核心价值体系建设面临着社会阶层分化、价值共识危机、伦理安全缺失的现代境遇,需要积极寻求价值合法性和政治合理性的实践节点。社会主义核心价值体系建设的关键是建构以儒家文化为核心、以主体间性哲学为支撑的普世伦理价值观。
