神户华侨华人二三代的中华文化认同

华侨华人二三代已成为神户华侨华人社会的主体。他们虽有归化的倾向 ,他们的文化认同虽呈多元化 ,但是 ,他们仍然有中国人意识 ,主要认同中华文化。而且 ,对于中华文化的认同感 ,年轻的并不比年长的明显减弱。认为华侨华人二三代已经认同所在国文化的说法应当仍有商榷的余地。神户华侨华人二三代认同中华文化的原因很多 ,其中的一个重要原因 ,是日本社会的歧视或不平等对待。该原因在短期内是很难消除的。     

Touching from a Distance: The Younger Generation of One Nation Conservatives and Thatcherism

It is argued here that the younger generation of One Nation Conservatives made a concerted effort to conform to the requirements of the free market agenda of the Thatcher governments during the 1980s. This served to distinguish them from the older generation of wets who had preceded them in the cabinet and who had been more inclined to engage in coded criticism of that agenda. The younger One Nation Conservatives knew that they had to conform if they wanted to hold office and the problems which Britain faced gave them a structural, as well as a personal, motive for conformity. Their willingness to conform made them important members of the second and third Thatcher governments. They provided a renewed radical impetus to government policy in the mid and late 1980s, which culminated in the introduction of the community charge or poll tax, and they possessed the communication skills needed to promote those policies in public. The efforts which the younger generation of One Nation Conservatives made to conform in the sphere of domestic economic policy were undone, after Thatcher had been replaced by Major in November 1990, by the issue on which they retained their distinctiveness: Europe. Their continued expression of pro‐European views became a problem for them after Thatcher had recoiled from the prospect of economic and monetary union in the late 1980s, because it proved to those on the right of the Conservative Party that they were not really ‘one of us’ at all.     

Searching for a Younger Generation of Tibetan Minstrels to Sing the King Gesar

As time goes by,the development of epic performance cul-ture naturally fol-lows that the old blind minstrels who once specialized in singing the oral epic King Gesar(which they had memorized by their memories)are gradually dying out.Therefore, sooner or later,live performance of the oral epic King Gesar seems doomed to disappear.But does the successive loss of elite minstrels, such as the departure of Zhaba, Tsewang Jigme,Atak,Khetsa Zhaba,
