从政治参与看古罗马后期的妇女地位

罗马共和早期,妇女在政治领域还完全处于依从地位。但从共和晚期以来,上层妇女大量参与到政治生活中去,在国家政治事务中发挥了重要的作用,政治地位有了很大提高。尽管这种提高是相对而言的,还不能被无限夸大,但其在女权发展史上仍然占据着极为重要的地位。     

殷周文化传统与先秦儒家圣人内涵的政治维度

先秦儒家圣人具有德业并重的特点,其内涵除了具有伦理维度外,也有政治维度。殷周文化传统的影响是先秦儒家圣人内涵政治维度得以形成的重要原因。先秦儒家圣人的则天、知天与殷代巫文化传统的通天有关,先秦儒家圣人作为人伦之至与周代的德文化传统有关。殷周文化传统的影响,对于先秦儒家圣人成为从天下无道向天下有道转变的秩序建构主体至关重要。探讨殷周文化传统对于先秦儒家圣人观的影响,有助于我们把握先秦儒家关注社会现实、以天下为己任的救世情怀和致思路向,从而在整体上深化对于儒家思想在中国传统社会中的功能、作用和地位的认识。     

Imagining Political Possibility in an Age of Late Liberalism and Cynical Reason

Inspired by innovative social projects and new political movements, anthropologists have turned to the study of political possibility. In looking at how people imagine and struggle for temporalities and conditions that will afford them the opportunity to exist in ways different from those they are experiencing now, cultural analysts draw on ethnography and critical political philosophy to chart new analytical trajectories and themes. By foregrounding a language of potentiality and becoming, scholars also envision new ways for looking at democracy and justice. In drawing on three contemporary ethnographies, this review traces how anthropologists examine possibilities in diverse cultural and political contexts, including some of its tenets and conjectures.
