The politics of history and historical memory in China-Japan relations

The current state of China-Japan relations is characterized by two seemingly contradictory developments adjacent to each other: while economic and cultural relations have experienced an unprecedented and continuous improvement since the 1980s, Chinese and Japanese public perceptions of each other have been deteriorating. This raises interesting questions. How do we explain this discrepancy and what are the sources of the increasing public animosity in China or Japan toward the other country? Can China and Japan maintain amicable relations and continue economic cooperation in spite of the enduring mistrust between their peoples? What is the role of public perception and memory of history in the foreign policies of East Asia? This paper addresses these questions, focusing especially on the last one — the role of history and collective historical memory in international relations and the interaction between public sentiment and government foreign policies. Through a detailed study of recent events and the issue of Japanese textbooks, the author argues that public perception of history can and should be guided toward more positive directions. Otherwise, it will be increasingly difficult to maintain amicable relations between the two countries, especially when new nationalism is on the rise in both counties.

Over the centuries: a history of Wollstonecraft reception

ABSTRACT

Both Wollstonecraft’s fame and infamy are attributable to her lived experience as the woman author of the only radical republican feminist text published in the pamphlet war of the 1790s. Yet, her radical republican politics were divorced from her gender politics in the early reception. This paper argues that this separation was subsequently sustained in part by interpretive practices that rest on the suppression of the original split. It shows that over the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, both outside and within academia, the dominant interpretive tendency of neglecting Wollstonecraft’s radical republican politics has deradicalized both her historical political thought and her iconic image. This conventional reception has both enabled and limited the resources made available through Wollstonecraft to feminists throughout history.     

“破”与“立”:俄罗斯社会转型的历程与现状

俄罗斯的社会转型是先破后立,即以私有化为开端拉开其社会转型的序幕,在经过十余年的痛苦反思和屡受挫折后又将“和谐社会”作为其社会转型“立”的思想基础。它是破得彻底,立得艰难。总结归纳中国、俄罗斯本土和西方学界研究成果、梳理俄罗斯社会转型的历程和现状,使我们对社会转型“破”与“立”的严重脱节是其社会转型代价沉重的内在根源有了更深刻的认识。     

新文学史：社会文化思潮与历史变革的双重叠影

党的最低纲领和最高纲领相统一的深刻历史意蕴

党的最低纲领和最高纲领相统一的理论原则的历史意蕴 ,首先体现在对社会主义历史方位的辨识上 ,人类社会所处的历史大进程不等于各个国家和民族所处的历史方位 ,决定着现实的、具体的革命纲领有国家的、民族的特色。对社会主义历史方位正确的辨识 ,是一个不断与社会发展相契合的、动态的、长期的过程。两个纲领相统一的历史意蕴还聚焦在无产阶级政党对历史使命的肩承上。无产阶级政党不仅要把握历史的未来走向 ,而且必须契合社会的发展 ,不断地揭示和承担起现实的历史使命。两个纲领统一的历史意蕴更进一步地展现在社会主义政党对社会主义历史进程的科学把握上 ,这是避免“左”倾和右倾错误的关键。
