麴伯雅生平析疑——麴氏高昌与突厥木杆、室点密两大汗系及隋朝的关系

本文利用吐鲁番学的有关文献和研究成果,以《隋书·高昌传》所短缺的早期活动为本文考察的出发点,将麴伯雅生平政治活动轨迹连为一体,发现此王实乃政治阅历极深的老练政治家,初本承袭祖、父遗策,专臣于突厥木杆汗系,直至隋开皇年间未尝动摇.炀帝盛世,西突厥泥橛处罗可汗衰危,始转臣于隋,亲身朝觐,目睹隋朝亡征渐显,以变服令取媚于隋,遁身返国.自此改弦更张,进行自我政策调整,改臣于已在西突厥占有主导地位的室点密汗系,对于义和,重光年号的出现,皆为麴伯雅朝隋结束后的继发事件,是否"政变"、"复辟",本文也有新的解释.

The Shock of the Real: The Neoliberal Neurosis in the Life and Times of Jeffrey Sachs

This paper draws on Slavoj ?i?ek's critique of ideology in seeking to account for the persistence and transformability of the neoliberal project. Against understandings of neoliberalism as a utopian representation projected onto an external reality, I argue that neoliberal ideology operates as a social fantasy, which structures reality itself against the traumatic Real of Capital. The evolution of the neoliberal project should be understood, not as the meticulous manipulation of social reality, but as a series of increasingly desperate attempts to hold the very fabric of reality together. Reconceptualizing neoliberalization as a form of obsessional neurosis can help to explain the relentless persistence of “zombie neoliberalism” and its paradoxical trajectory towards increasingly intensive forms of social engineering. This argument is developed through a critical engagement with the work of the economist Jeffrey Sachs. From shock therapy to the Millennium Villages Project, Sachs's trajectory embodies the characteristics of the neoliberal neurosis. The paper aims to undermine the apparently monolithic power of neoliberalism, by challenging dominant critical representations of the neoliberal project in terms of a hyper‐rational governmentality. It also aims to subvert the attempts by Jeffrey Sachs and other neoliberals to reposition themselves as opponents of the Washington Consensus, and as spokesmen of the Occupy movement. The chosen method of attack is more satirical than polemical. Neurotic neoliberals such as Sachs have successfully appropriated ethical objections to neoliberalism in the name of “globalization with a human face”. In the present conjuncture, an immanent critique that reveals the internal incoherence of neoliberal ideology, and the hapless floundering of its proponents, is perhaps more effective than a repetition of familiar forms of moral condemnation. An alternative subtitle for this paper might therefore be “Towards a satirical materialism”.
