连接两种文化的桥梁--《龙翼》的文化解读

不同的民族有着不同的文化.如果人们与另一种文化接触时,带着"惟我独尊"的偏见去理解他者文化,就不免导致文化的"误读"或"误解".但是如果带着平等的交流意识进入另一种文化,人们就能克服偏见,达到对他者文化的理解,而这种理解正是文化交流与对话的基础.这也是美国少年作家劳伦斯·于在其小说<龙翼>中所探讨的问题.作为一名华裔作家,他对如何看待中国文化以及中西文化如何交流与对话有着自己的观点.他认为人类追求的境界应该是保持本民族文化的特色,同异民族文化平等交流,进而达到人与人的和谐相处.

大众文化与文化产业——批判理论的批判与中国语境的规范

大众文化的崛起与文化产业的兴盛带来了许多理论话题与现实问题.西方有影响的文化理论与批评话语引进新中国后,刺激了中国大众文化批评的开展,也解决了一部分中国的大众文化现实问题,至今仍是我们走向中国大众文化理论所必须汲取的话语资源.但我们要警惕和防止以"他者"的文化眼光来遮蔽中国本土的问题情况,或把西方社会的文化问题硬性移植到中国而变成"假想敌".     

Don't Let It Put You Off Your Dinner: First Steps Towards Ethical Policies Shaped by Cultural Considerations

The Duke of Wellington's foreign policy was based on a simple ethical principle: essentially the assessment of options in terms of whether they would lessen or increase the likelihood of civil strife. This principle, being rooted in the culture of decency, is not compatible with the prevailing (but, it is argued, increasingly unattractive) realist approach. A major obstacle to the operationalization of Wellingtonian policy (which, incidentally, need not be foreign policy) is the lack of understanding of the causes of civil strife. This obstacle can, however, be side-stepped: first, by the increasingly well-established observation that civil strife, and related gross abuses of human rights, do not happen in stable democracies, and, second, by the more discriminating understanding of both democracy and nondemocracy that is provided by Cultural Theory. Together, these two developments offer a basis for option assessment that simply was not available to the Duke of Wellington. The article concludes with three tentative applications.     

论民族哲学、文化研究统一的必要性

哲学与文化原本就是互生、互动的 ,只是在学科分化后才被人为地分割开来。这种相互疏离和分割 ,既不利于准确、完整地把握特定民族国家的哲学和文化 ,也不利于各民族的自我认识、相互理解以及哲学、文化自身的发展 ,因此民族哲学研究、民族文化研究需要重新结合。即 ,民族文化的完整研究必须用哲学研究来统摄 ,民族哲学的完整研究也必须以文化研究为依托 ,二者相互补充、相互结合     

Unequivocal Victims: The Historical Roots of the Mystification of the Female Complainant in Rape Cases

Historically, numbers of women complainants in rape trials have been regarded suspiciously, or prejudiced in that their credibility has been seriously called into question, or undermined, both from within and outside the courtroom. Arguably, public and legal perceptions as to the expected conduct and behaviour of the stereotypical rape victim have been grounded in the belief that genuine women who allege rape should act and portray themselves as unequivocal victims. This suggests that the contemporary construct of the female rape victim and her associated stereotypical image should be considered not solely as a legal derivative but also within a wider cultural context. This article explores the historical influences that shaped the cultural construct operating in the U.K., in particular, the societal and legal attitudes of the mid-Victorians towards women and sexual violence, creating an historical mystification around the construct of the female rape victim and the crime of rape itself. Reference is made to a number of cases reported in The Times newspaper between 1850–1885 which underline the requisite portrayal of the rape complainant as an unequivocal victim. It is argued that the relocation of this historical and socially constructed mythological imaginary within the context of the law and the trial process has disproportionately contributed to the modern scepticism which surrounds the female complainant.

偏激的行为 沉痛的教训

苏联的文化政策曾经历了一个由极左滑向极右的过程,先是对"持不同政见"的作家采取高压政策,制造了不少冤假错案。戈尔巴乔夫上台后,又打着"民主化"、"公开性"的旗号鼓动"自由派"作家肆无忌惮地攻击苏共和社会主义,成为导致苏联解体的原因之一。事实提醒人们,作家不能以偏激的态度去对待现实,不能将个人恩怨置于民族大义之上,应该公正、客观、全面地评价社会制度和社会生活,不能被西方敌对势力"民主"、"自由"、"人权"的漂亮口号所迷惑,以至于做出亲者痛仇者快的事情来。同时,沉痛的教训告诉我们,思想舆论阵地任何时候不能落入外国敌对势力的代理人手中,否则,悲剧将难以避免。

"文明冲突论":亨廷顿为美国构建的意识形态策略

当代,文化问题已成为涉及国家利益的重大问题,文化策略体现着一个国家的意识形态策略.亨廷顿的"文明冲突论"以文化为出发点,以国家意识形态为原则,以国家利益为最终归宿,为美国及西方实现"后殖民主义"提供新的理论基础,本质上是为美国构建的一种意识形态策略,以达到美国重建世界秩序的目的.
