小泉八云异文化理解中的归属意识

小泉八云于1890年赴日,后加入日本国籍。他的作品洋溢着对日本古老文明的赞美、怀念以及对西方文明的辛辣批判。这使得他在当时倡导“和魂洋才”的明治日本中期成了“日本文化发现的恩人”。经历了从英国、法国、美国、再到日本的流离生活,使得他对异文化有着自己独到的理解,本文将从比较文化论角度通过分析小泉八云对日本文化的受容及其文学作品,探究小泉八云对异文化以及自身归属问题的认识。     

认识他者与反观自我：近代中国人的韩国认识

朝鲜的兴亡是近代中国人从传统中华主义向近代民族主义转变的重要参照物,因而中国人的韩国认识与近代思想演化有着密切的联系。复杂的国际国内环境,东西思想的冲突,以及深厚的历史记忆,使近代中国人在对韩认识方面往往不得不面临种种情感和思想的困境。首先,对于大韩帝国灭亡一事,虽然中国人普遍谴责日本帝国主义的背信弃义和侵略行径,但是为了唤起国民,追求自强,中国人又往往更愿意从其内部来寻找其亡国之原因;其二,在如何认识日本帝国主义下朝鲜的殖民地近代性问题上,有人持肯定、甚至赞叹的态度,也有人认识到近代化成就背后朝鲜人民所遭受的苦痛,直到日本侵占中国东北以后才基本统一到彻底的反殖民主义立场之上;其三,近代中国人的韩国认识往往受到历史记忆的很大影响,对宗藩关系的记忆增进了中国人对支援韩国独立运动的责任感,同时中国支援韩国独立运动也是因为中国人认为朝鲜半岛对于中国来说有重要的地政学意义,关系到中国乃至整个东亚的和平与安全。这种对韩认识的复杂性体现了近代中国他者认识与自我认识的相关性,也对中国近代民族主义的形成具有一定的影响。     

新疆和中亚及有关的地理概念

本文认为,新疆古称西域,其实西域常指包括新疆及其以西的中亚广大地区。“中亚”亦有广义和狭义之分,是见仁见智的近代地理概念。此外,古今中外还有一些与新疆和中亚有关的地理概念,都有一定的历史文化背景,系统考察之,那就是一部亚洲腹地地缘政治文化史。近年美国人提出Greater Central Asia（大中亚）的概念,另有一番政治含义。

Between the General and the Particular: Reminiscences of Plato's Timaeus in Piotr Rawicz's Le sang du ciel

Piotr Rawicz's novel Le sang du ciel depicts a Jewish protagonist, Boris, who manages to escape the Nazi genocide and, as a result, doubts his own legitimacy to bear witness to the other Jews' fate during that period. His difficult relationships with the Jewish community find expression in an intertextual construction, founded on the ontocosmology developed in Plato's Timaeus. Boris uses—and sometimes perverts—Plato's world vision both to measure his own inauthenticity and to define new ways of creating a state of "fusion" with the "beings" surrounding him. Another technique to overcome Boris's inability to testify is the use of a frame narrative, which, moreover, sheds new light on the protagonist's identity as a witness.

In Search of the Social: Steamboats, Square Wheels, Reindeer and Other Things

This paper examines the concept of the ‘social,’ particularly from an archaeological perspective, and explores how it relates to the ways in which we seek to understand the processes of technological innovation and change. It is demonstrated that the concept ‘social’ is far from well defined and that enquiry is bedevilled by artificial polarization between subject-centred approaches and object-centred particularism. Through the medium of early United States steamboat technology a different approach is forged through the melding of people and things with the idea of viewing artefacts as active social actors along with people. Ultimately, it is argued that maritime archaeologists should be more bullish in their approaches to material things—instead of adopting social theories ‘wholesale,’ we should insist that they include the things we study: boats, material objects, people, artefacts, landscapes and animals.
