孔子与美国排华高峰期华人的认同建构——以美国主要报纸为例

通过美国数家主要报纸相关报道的深入剖析,本文拟全面展现孔子与华人认同建构的普遍联系。从1882年排华法案通过到20世纪20年代,是美国历史上的排华高峰期。无处不在的歧视让在美华人陷入空前孤立,华人强化群体认同以彰显自己的存在变得尤为迫切,延续和强化孔子的文化核心地位成为极为关键的内部凝聚手段和群体外部特征,围绕孔子而产生的向心力是美国华人能够在排华高峰的逆境中生存下来的根本保证之一。     

昆仑采药人·灵狐·冬生草

在我四五岁时,听奶奶讲,有个嫦娥仙子因偷吃了王母娘娘不死之药,便独自一人飞进了月亮,从此,再也回不了人间.还有个白蛇娘娘,也是孤身一个上了昆仑山,盗得了灵芝仙草,救了心上人许仙的命.这些美丽的神话,在我幼小的心灵上留下了深刻的印象,对昆仑山有了一种神秘而神圣、无限向往的情感.     

Venereal disease prevention, Moral Welfare and civilized image: The Shanghai Moral Welfare Committee and the anti-prostitution campaign in the Shanghai International Settlement, 1918�C24

This paper focuses on the Shanghai Moral Welfare Committee (renamed the Shanghai Moral Welfare League in 1920), which was founded on May 16, 1918, following a decision made by seventeen foreign religious and secular charities of the Shanghai International Settlement. In 1919–24, the Municipal Council of the Shanghai International Settlement declared a five-year timeframe for gradually shutting down all the brothels under its administration. The few previous studies of this topic by European and American scholars mainly concentrated on the aspect of venereal disease prevention and the prohibition of prostitution, as well as the construction of gender, but they paid little attention to the Moral Welfare Committee as a primary advocate of this reform. As such, this event has been misrepresented as yet another story about the modernization and spiritual salvation of Chinese society by Western municipal authorities and moral reformers. However, the Committee, created by foreign moral reformers in Shanghai, was primarily focused on white males with venereal diseases and white prostitutes, in order to reestablish an image of the Western Christian countries as civilized in Chinese eyes. Underlying this effort was a strong sense—among foreign communities in China at that time—of superiority over Chinese society in both civilization and morality. However, this arrogance was rife with insecurities; foreign reformers lacked necessary confidence in their civilized image and in their capacity to set themselves up as a model for the moral discipline and salvation of the Chinese people.     

孔子：战后美国华人餐饮的文化标记——基于美国主要报纸的考察

本文引用美国报纸上对华人餐馆的宣传报道,介绍了美国中餐馆注重建立与中国文化圣人孔子的联系、将孔子融人餐馆品牌之中的特色宣传策略,认为中餐能一直吸引着成千上万的消费者,不仅因为华人餐饮以中国为源的表面现象,而是有着更深层次的文化共识。孔子就是这一共识的核心。华人餐饮以孔子为品牌魅力,抓住美国民众熟悉孔子的现象,积极渗入美国非华裔社会的饮食文化。研究餐饮文化中的孔子是我们考察华人群体心理变化、现实处境和美国族裔关系变迁的独特视角,值得学术界利用跨学科方法进一步探讨。

‘Voluntary’ Poverty Alleviation Resettlement in China

Current conceptualizations of resettlement in China as either voluntary or involuntary are too rigid. New guidelines and policies, particularly around Poverty Alleviation Resettlement (PAR), are emphasizing the importance of voluntarism. Little is known, however, about how the principle of voluntary relocation of villagers has actually been implemented. This study explores this process by examining local implementation and experiences of PAR in Linfen Prefecture, Shanxi. It introduces China's nationwide PAR programme, and then identifies the spatial and temporal characteristics of PAR in Linfen from 1997 to 2010, highlighting the factors that contribute to widespread voluntary resettlement.
