新加坡华文旧体诗的作者构成、写作特点及其影响

东南亚华文文学的研究领域中,关于新加坡华文旧体诗的论述极少。事实上,新加坡有大量华文旧体诗的文本,这些旧体诗的作者主要由新加坡的"过客"、新加坡的"流寓"者和土生土长的新加坡人 3 类人构成。他们的写作特点体现在:一是新加坡地域文化风貌的体现;二是语言的杂糅;三是受中国文化的影响。这一类诗作的研究具有比较文学和文化交流的意义,同时也是新加坡本土文学的重要组成部分。

Cultural Identities of Adolescent Immigrants: A Three-Year Longitudinal Study Including the Pre-Migration Period

This article investigates the cultural identities of adolescent immigrants in the pre-migration period and during the first 3 years after immigration. The target population consists of high-school Jewish adolescents from Russia and Ukraine participating in an Israeli immigration program. In this program, Jewish adolescents immigrate to Israel without their parents, live in kibbutzim and boarding schools, and study in Israeli schools. Participants filled out questionnaires four times: half a year before their departure from the homeland and once a year for three consecutive years after their arrival to Israel. Changes in the cultural identities during immigration were curvilinear. Three stages were distinguished: devaluation of the homeland and idealization of the country of immigration in the pre-migration period, disillusionment with the receiving country and strengthening of the homeland cultural identity in the first year after immigration, and the formation of an inconsistent bi-cultural identity in the later post-migration period. Throughout the entire post-migration period, immigrants’ attitude towards the receiving country was more positive than their attitude towards their homeland; however, immigrants’ sense of belonging to the homeland was stronger than their sense of belonging to the receiving country. Pre-migration cultural identities and perceived discrimination in the receiving country predicted post-migration cultural identities of immigrants. Immigrant adolescents from ethnically homogenous Jewish families had a less positive attitude towards Russia/Ukraine, a more positive attitude towards Israel, and a weaker sense of belonging to Russia/Ukraine as compared to immigrants from ethnically mixed families.

Women and War

Susan Hill's novel The Woman in Black (1983) is a radical example of women's Gothic horror. It is a popular ghost story that has been successfully adapted for the London stage. In addition, it offers a social critique of motherhood and contemporary rhetoric surrounding the family. Scullion interprets the novel from several critical perspectives: feminist, psychological, biographical, generic and intertextual. Principally, however, she offers a reading of the novel that engages with its immediate historical context. The contention is that Hill's novel mediates women's anxieties about motherhood and autonomy during the early 1980s when the institution of the family in Britain was an ideological battleground. Set primarily during the 1860s, The Woman in Black exposes Victorian hypocrisy towards the unmarried mother, and indirectly probes the quasi-Victorian values promulgated in the 1980s, during the first term of a Conservative right-wing government. The protagonist of the novel, the eponymous woman in black, resists the lot of the so-called fallen woman. In her physical form, she refuses to submit to Victorian patriarchal values by attempting to reclaim her illegitimate child. In spectral form, she repeatedly inflicts suffering on families by causing the death of their children. Her excessive revenge knows no compassion, and recognizes no boundaries of place and time. Her ghost is never laid to rest. Neither is order restored by the closing pages. Thus the novel, as well as being a popular ghost story, challenges assumptions about women's 'natural' acquiescence and their unconditionally generous responses to husbands, partners and children. Shaped by the social climate in which it was written, The Woman in Black suggests that mothers under extreme pressure have the potential, like any other members of the family, for cruelty to children. Through its forceful rejection of either idealized or derogatory stereotypes of women, this novel belongs to the genre of radical Gothic horror.

边境地区非物质文化遗产发展的跨境耦合效应——以中缅边境地区孔雀舞发展为例

孔雀舞是中国和缅甸的傣族边民所共享的民族传统文化事象。起源于傣族人民日常生活的傣族孔雀舞在进入非物质文化遗产名录后取得的重大发展和该文化事象与村民的日常生活更加紧密有关。傣族孔雀舞在中、缅两国境内的传承方式和发展现状存在的差异与两国不同的文化政策有重要的关系。孔雀舞在中国境内的发展为缅甸边民提供了就业机会和发展平台,同时,缅甸境内更加传统的架子孔雀舞为中国架子孔雀舞的发展提供了更加丰富的资源基础。非物质文化遗产跨境交流所产生的耦合效应对于边境地区的和平跨居、经济发展和文化繁荣具有积极意义。     

试论影响当前中日关系的文化与心理因素

在国际关系中,人们一般总是把政治、经济和军事作为国与国关系的首要考量因素,而把文化认同、民族心理等要素置于次要地位.但相对于前者的易变性、表层性,文化和心理要素更能在深层次上发挥潜在的影响作用.中日作为同属东亚文明圈的两个大国,两国关系的发展一波三折,令人困惑.究其原因,除却双方之间的现实利益冲突之外,在更深层次上,它与中日民族间的文化及心理认同的差异是分不开的.     

Assets in the age of tourism: the development of heritage planning in Ghanaian policy

Heritage planning in Ghana is mainly governed by the idea of sustainable pro-poor tourism, but is only marginally integrated with general planning programmes and fragmentally addressed by policy-makers. Motivated by the general lack of research on heritage policy in Ghana, this paper examines the role of heritage planning in national socio-economic, cultural and tourism policy and highlights various ambiguities in terms of concepts, objectives and approaches. The major findings show gaps between rational and communicative planning ideals, between informal management systems and wider democratic concerns, and between delimited and comprehensive planning perspectives. The central argument is that the lack of coherence among different development planning perspectives is an issue that future heritage policy-making needs to consider in order to balance tourism development with concerns such as social stability, community development and local pride of place.
