State terrorism: orientalism and the drone programme

This article builds on the recent and growing scholarship on the negative effects of the drone programme. Current literature has shown that the drone programme terrorises the civilian population that it keeps under surveillance. Furthermore, it has articulated the drone programme’s violence as biopolitical and its surveillance as a necropolitical technology of distinction. It is argued in this article that the Orientalist attitudes and logic necessary for drone targeting form the basis for the biopolitical and necropolitical component of the drone programme. This article explores the Orientalism that suffuses the US drone programme in order to juxtapose it with governmental discourses that characterise the drone programme and its surveillance as neutral and humane – demonstrating the gap between government discourses of modernity and the actual drone programme. The necropolitical logic of distinction used for targeting leads to the assimilation of those under the drone’s gaze to a population that can be put to death, leading the drone programme to operate indiscriminately. The biopolitical logic is visible in the US practices, which I argue constitutes terrorism with the corroboration of civilian testimonies.     

心理学理论与应用：现代与后现代的两种对立观点

本对心理学理论与应用关系的现代和后现代的两种对立观点进行了概括和分析,认为处于现代和后现代性双重夹击下的心理学发展,既要继续贯彻实证主义原则,又必须对后现代主义心理学倾向做出积极的回应,重新定位心理学理论与应用的关系。心理学研究无需在现代和后现代性之间作出非此即彼的强制性选择。建立心理学的中层理论是正确处理心理学理论与应用的关系,减少它们之间相互分离的一种恰当方法。     

20世纪90年代以来中国文学的个体语言策略

20世纪90年代以来,中国文学语言变革的一个相当重要的方面,便是"个体语言策略"的采用.个体语言以个体经验为表征基础,并且反抗着公共经验与公共语言,具有历史创造性和个体差异性的基本特点.汉语现代性的历史性重建,应以"辨证的个体语言"为基础.     

中国现代唯物史观发展的基本历程(下)

中国现代唯物史观史,就是马克思主义唯物史观在中国传播发展及其同中国现代社会实践相结合的历史,亦即五四运动以来中国历史唯物主义思想的形成、发展及其反对历史唯心主义的历史。唯物史观在中国传播与发展的基本历程大体分为四个阶段:一、五四运动与第一次国内革命战争时期唯物史观在中国的初步传播及其同唯心史观的初步较量;二、第二次国内革命战争时期唯物史观在中国的进一步传播与具有中国特色唯物史观的形成;三、抗日战争与解放战争时期唯物史观普遍真理与中国革命实践的成功结合和新民主主义革命的伟大胜利;四、在社会主义改造前后和改革开放、社会主义现代化建设的新时期毛泽东、邓小平、江泽民对唯物史观的继承和发展。     

Television TV by Barney Daniels Tjungurrayi

This paper examines the alliance that Derrida makes between his notion of justice as undeconstructible and a certain spirit of Marx's emancipatory promise. By following some of the precautions that Derrida undertakes in distinguishing the undeconstructibility of justice from the deconstructible justice should not be viewed as a contradiction in terms. I also argue that while the themes of justice, ethics, and politics can be rendered self‐present. Rather, Derrida's response to the injunctions of Marx suggests that it is precisely because justice and the emancipatory promise cannot be given over to the present that they are situated as undeconstructible. As such, taking responsibility for the heritage of Marxism involves working and sorting through the many spectres of Marx that inhabit the same injunction, where the promise remains as that yet to come.     

马克思对现代性的判断及其对中国的启示

马克思通过对资本主义生产方式的分析，对现代性进行了判断。只要存在资本主义，就不能避免现代性的悖论性后果。社会主义中国在现代化建设的过程中也面临着如何判断现代性的问题，因此国家领导人先后提出了可持续发展战略、科学发展观、和谐社会建设等命题，它们与马克思对现代性的判断是紧密相连的，表达了“去资本主义性”的追求。     

手机：超越后现代的现代性

手机的技术功能使创作和书写即时化（instantaneity），它迎合了后现代“去中心化”、“差异”和“不连续性”等要求，但是，手机隐含的技术理性却前所未有地对人控制，使权力运作脱离了物质场域，在日常生活中延展开来。     

Churches,Sects and Communities: Social Cohesion Recovered?1

Abstract – Should the upsurge of Protestantism be seen as a community movement with a religious dimension, or as the expression of sectarian, inward-looking behaviour? Does it wipe out Indian specificity or does it rather help to rebuild community and identity? Does it strengthen citizenship or is it the bearer of an obscurantist authoritarianism? In the light of these questions, three waves of Protestant expansion are described in relation to missionary activity from the North. The relationship between Protestantism and modernity both at the level of the larger society and at the level of the local community are explored.     

哲学终结：费尔巴哈实践观向马克思实践观的发展

费尔巴哈和马克思都提出了哲学终结。但是,基于人本主义的直观感性实践观,费尔巴哈的哲学终结仅仅归结为抽象的爱的宗教;而基于科学的实践观,马克思的哲学终结的归结点在于无产阶级的解放。在当代视阈,虽然西方诸多学者都提出了哲学终结,但是离开科学的实践观,无视哲学的现实指向,这种哲学终结都是不彻底的。事实上,现代性正是当代西方哲学终结的根本症结之所在。
