The meaning of war: A heterodox perspective

This article raises serious methodological, conceptual, historical and empirical questions concerning the notion of China as the next world superpower. The most dynamic sector of growth is the private sector, but within that sector foreign capital is growing the fastest, especially in strategic export sectors and increasingly in finance and the domestic market. Historically China has passed from a semi-colony to a collectivist state to a state capitalist economy toward a neo-liberal economy which contains the seeds for the re-emergence of a foreign capitalist-dominated economy. Contradictions in the current neo-liberal economy are leading to increased class struggle especially in the countryside and increasing tension between the super-rich Chinese bourgeois allied to foreign capital and ‘national statist’ sectors of the governing class. The efforts by the new leadership to ameliorate the contradiction through increased social spending are too little and too late.     

论妨害文物管理犯罪行为的刑法规制

文物是不可再生的文化资源,具有丰富的历史价值、艺术价值和科学价值,同时也具有较高的经济价值,自然也就成为了犯罪分子侵害目标。近年来,盗掘古墓、倒卖文物、走私文物的现象日益猖狂,这种链条式的不法行为,使我国的珍贵文物大量流失,犯罪分子利用娴熟的作案手段,将盗掘而来的文物进行倒买倒卖或者走私,使其很快进入流通领域,甚至流向国际市场,获取高额利润。因此,必须及时有效地规制此类犯罪行为,击破文物类犯罪的"盗掘—倒卖—走私"的典型经营链条,保护国家的文物管理秩序,防止文物的大量流失。

The ‘Perils’ of an Identity Politics Approach to the Legal Recognition of Harm

In the past, and it still remains the case, people with learning difficulties who are victims of violence have been cast as being in need of protection rather than rights and justice. Such an approach belies an institutionalised perspective of harm that does not readily engage with criminal justice structures or solutions. At the same time, Sect. 146 of the Criminal Justice Act 2003 gives the court the power to pass enhanced sentences where it can be proven that a crime was motivated by hostility towards someone because s/he is disabled. However, this provision may simply remain a symbolic pledge to equality that fails to tackle the complex and deep rooted causes of violence and oppression in modern society. The consequences of automatically turning to hate crime ‘solutions’ have yet to be explored. This article will draw from the ideas of a number of thinkers in the context of diverse activism to construct a bridge between current debates about how to theorise and tackle violence and oppression in the modern world and the campaigns fought by people with learning difficulties and their supporters. The hope is that this exercise will not only help people with learning difficulties to access the current debate but will further develop current thinking about how to understand and tackle violence in the modern world.

文化冷战与华侨华人:美国对东南亚华侨华人的宣传渗透

美国在冷战时期对华侨华人的文化冷战是冷战国际史学界最新的一个研究领域,是美国对外宣传史、华侨华人史、中美关系史三个领域交叉的产物。美国对华侨华人的文化冷战经历了从中国政策向东南亚政策的转变,以香港美国新闻处为核心宣传机构实行遥控指挥,并把《今日世界》杂志为代表的书刊纸媒作为主要传媒手段。美国对华侨华人文化冷战的主题和项目主要集中在四个方面:利用传统文化促进台湾声誉,利用文学作品进行反共宣传,用华裔美国人的形象宣传美国价值观,和台湾合作与中国大陆争夺侨生教育。美国对华侨华人的宣传主要并不集中在对政治、外交事件和美国政策的报道和阐释上,而是把重点投注在意识形态、价值观和情感的塑造上,其根本观念以及核心的宣传思路是直接诉诸塑造华人身份认同,把冷战意识形态建构为华侨华人身份认同的一部分,此举于今仍有影响。研究美国对华侨华人的文化冷战,对认识和理解当前的中美关系和大国竞争态势可以提供一定的镜鉴。     

蒙古族题材电影叙事方式与文化建构研究

蒙古族题材电影在其历史发展过程中形成四种基本的叙事范式:第一,以意识形态和政治需求为导向的国族化叙事;第二,以美丽边疆和日常生活呈现为导向的景观化叙事;第三,以民族认同和草原文化表达为向导的民族化叙事;第四,以聚焦个体和关注现实为导向的个体化叙事。文章基于叙事方式的发展与变化,厘清蒙古族题材电影的演进规律,探寻内在的动因,思考叙事方式与文化建构之间的逻辑关系,进而凸显电影文本对文化建构的理论价值和实践意义。
