Heritage Tourism in the Caribbean: The Politics of Culture after Neoliberalism

As neoliberalism has taken root in the Caribbean, heritage tourism has grown enormously. Using examples drawn from the Trinidad Carnival, this article shows how culture becomes a marketing force in the wake of increasingly difficult economic times in the Caribbean. As selling culture increases in importance for the overall economic health of Caribbean economies, it becomes, more and more, the focus of Caribbean states and state agencies and a basis for state sovereignty. Drawing on Foucault's notion of biopower, the article draws a connection between the increasing importance of cultural performances for state revenue and government intervention into those performances.     

论侗族建房仪式与仪式歌

侗族在建房过程中要举行两大仪式:其一是新房落成庆典;二是开财门仪式。过去由于人们对这两大仪式的文化涵义理解不够,所以对产生于两大仪式中的仪式歌未予以重视。为帮助人们理解侗族两大建房仪式与仪式歌的关系,本文将从分析侗族两大建房仪式的文化涵义入手,以揭示其内在的联系。     

Do Policies of Multiculturalism Change National Identities?

‘Policies of multiculturalism are often criticised for undermining national identities in one of three ways and in this article I suggest why this is questionable and then point to a more plausible relationship between the two. More specifically, I offer a hypothesis which is that policies of multiculturalism change national identities and I argue that this hypothesis is both theoretically plausible and empirically plausible in at least one instance. This argument is made in three stages and in the first of them I explain what I think policies of multiculturalism and national identities are. In the second stage I present my hypothesis and explain why it is theoretically plausible. In the third stage I use new evidence to suggest why my hypothesis is also empirically plausible in at least one instance. In the final stage I show why a sceptic who might doubt whether my hypothesis is plausible in other instances need not do so.’     

少数民族农村社区文化生活与精神文明建设 --以云南罗平多依村布依族调查为例

通过对云南罗平县多依村布依族的调查发现,随着经济与社会的发展,社区文化对区域人群的影响作用和协调功能日益凸现,然而,受到经济发展相对滞后、教育水平偏低、信息渠道单一等因素制约,目前的农村社区文化不能适应村民不断提高的精神文化需求.鉴于此,建议在发展农村经济的基础上,强化基层组织的引导职责,以传统的农村家庭功能单位为依托,努力探索有地区特色的社区文化发展模式.

The Quality of Annual Reporting by Italian Museums: An International Comparison

We study the quality of disclosure and the level of accountability of Italian museums using MPADI2 index (Wei et al. 2008; Botes et al. 2013) on a sample of 13 annual reports which, given the legal status of some entities, encompasses the activity of 93 Italian public and private museums, many of which are within the most visited in Italy and worldwide. The results allow for an international comparison with the annual reports of a panel of USA, UK and European museums which have undergone the same MPADI2 analysis, giving an interesting insight about museum different disclosing practices across countries.     

Goals and tactics of President Gerald Ford's ethnic politics

This article analyzes initiatives of Gerald Ford's presidential administration toward nationalities or the so-called white ethnics against the backdrop of the legacy of Richard Nixon and the Republican Party's ethnic politics of the 1960s. Using archival and interview materials, it demonstrates that Gerald Ford intended to improve the relationship between the President's office and the ethnics who were involved in the Republican Party's structures. He consciously tried to respond to ethnics’ political concerns and even created a special position on his staff for working with the nationalities. While in office and during the election campaign of 1976, Ford succeeded in engaging the ethnics and in demonstrating his will to address their needs on the domestic “front.” He failed, however, to fully appreciate the importance of foreign policy to the nationalities. The article proposes that today, as in the 1970s, the American political establishment would benefit from recognizing international issues as crucial elements of white ethnics’ or nationalities’ political behavior.

少数民族非物质文化遗产保护与旅游行政管理研究——以云南民族歌舞为例

旅游开发对非物质文化遗产的传承和保护既有积极影响又有消极影响。旅游在为非物质文化遗产提供了保护和展示的窗口,加强了保护资金的力度,培养了群众基础的同时,如果开发不当,其商业性质又可能使得非物质文化遗产的本来面貌扭曲变形。少数民族歌舞是少数民族非物质文化遗产的重要组成部分。政府在非物质文化遗产保护与旅游开发中的特殊作用具有不可替代性。本文以云南民族歌舞为例,指出在我国少数民族非物质文化遗产旅游开发中政府应通过加强立法工作、理顺部门关系,建立非物质文化遗产名录体系,加强非物质文化遗产的传承和教育,与旅游业相结合、积极推进产业化等行政管理措施,实现少数民族非物质文化遗产保护与旅游开发利用的双赢。
