Embracing Hygienic Modernity in Late Nineteenth-century Korea: A View from the Periphery

This paper examines Koreans’ response to cholera and the introduction of hygienic modernity by the Japanese after the opening of Korea in 1876. As Korea’s first open port, Pusan became a testing ground for Japanese hygienic modernity in Korea with the influx of Japanese settlers who introduced modern medical knowledge to the area. The introduction of modern medical science and technology by the Japanese, through the establishment of modern facilities such as Saisei Iin, the first modern clinic in Pusan, had a significant impact on the local community, which was suffering the horrific consequences of cholera due to ineffectual government management. In the process, the Japanese settlers utilised hygienic modernity as a way of legitimising and increasing their power over indigenous Koreans. While it is necessary to recognise the contributions of the Japanese to disseminating modern medicine and medical knowledge to local Koreans in Pusan, hygienic modernity became a way of legitimising the power of the Japanese settlers over indigenous Koreans in Pusan as a result.     

灯节与佛教关系新探

勿庸置疑,早在佛教传入中原之前很久,灯节最核心的因素已经存在。宋人开始把上元张灯与周代的庭燎相联系,近代学者多有响应。最近,曹飞先生对此论提出驳议,认为元宵节的狂欢功能与燎祭、庭燎的祭祀功能完全不同,可备一说。然而笔者认为,从祭祀到娱乐并没有一条不可跨越的鸿沟。灯节最早的源头,也许可以上溯到远古的巫术。     

新安沉船装载的金属工艺品——其特点以及新安沉船返航的性质

1976年在朝鲜半岛西南部的全绫罗南道新安郡智岛邑防筑村落道德岛的海上沉没船被发现以来,通过对此后打捞出来的数量庞大的装载品的研究,围绕着沉没船的性质,日、韩的研究者之间交换过很多意见。作为研究先决条件的打捞调查、资料整理、保存和分析等的报告书,韩国文化宣传部、文物管理局陆续出版了《新安海底遗物资料篇I》（1981年）、《新安海底遗物资料篇Ⅱ》（1984年）、《新安海底遗物资料篇Ⅲ》（1985年）,作为最后报告书于1988年出版了《新安海底遗物综合篇》。     

时尚社会：价值观的冲突与转换

当代社会正在演化为时尚化社会。时尚社会有着时尚的价值观,这种价值观把时尚价值看作最高的价值,是对只考虑主体的需要、不考虑客体的利益的传统价值观的极度张扬。由于时尚价值在时尚社会里被过度追逐,带来了严重的生态问题和社会问题。贯彻落实科学发展观,促进人与自然的和谐和人与人的和谐,必须转换传统的价值观,确立一种既考虑主体的需要又考虑客体的利益的和谐价值观。     

中国共产党民族理论发展研究的鼎力之作--评《中国共产党三代领导集体的民族理论与实践》

中国是一个统一的多民族国家,中国共产党自创立之日起,就非常重视民族问题,并把如何正确处理民族问题作为中国革命和建设事业中不可分割的重要组成部分,以至于在各个历史时期都自觉地把马克思主义普遍原理同中国革命实践相结合,从而运用马克思主义民族理论阐释和解决中国的民族问题,逐步形成了全面、系统、科学的具有中国特色的丰富的、宝贵的经验。学习并研究这些理论成果,分析并把握其相关的实践史实,无疑对中国乃至世界各国各族人民解决民族问题及和平与发展的良好愿望都具有深远的历史意义和积极的现实意义。     

民俗文化的地方性表现--以京东高碑店村的节日传统为个案

在“国家一社会“的对峙框架下,“地方“①在中国社会秩序形成过程中的重要性,是为许多中国研究的学者所认可的.本文试图将“地方“与“地方性“这两个对中国民众的社会存在方式具有根本性意义②的概念,贯穿于传统节日文化的探讨之中.我们知道,任何一种节日习俗在各个地方的表现都不可能是均质的,而要发现节日地方性表现的丰富性及其所包含的文化解释,就必须将研究的视角由宏观向微观逐渐转移.这样,村落作为地域性社区的基本空间单位的重要性就凸现了出来.……

Restructuring the US-South Korea alliance to deal with the second Korean nuclear crisis

As the US-South Korea alliance faces the second Korean nuclear crisis, Seoul and Washington no longer share a common unifying threat perception of North Korea. This divide has allowed North Korea to advance its interests by playing a 'South Korea card' against the United States in the nuclear standoff. The divide is not a transient problem that can be ignored or addressed with ad hoc fixes but a secular phenomenon rooted in South Korea's growing wealth and deepening democracy. What is needed now is more distance in the alliance. The alliance must be restructured to reflect the reality that South Korea can defend itself against North Korea without the help of the United States. For both Seoul and Washington, the restructured alliance would produce a more complete and robust set of options to advance their respective North Korea policies.     

The disciplinary politics of antagonistic nationalism in militarized South and North Korea

After the Korean War (1950–53), the two militarized Koreas governed each and every member of society in similar ways through their disciplinary politics of antagonistic nationalism. The existing studies of state formation in the two Koreas have neglected an aspect of state power that was neither necessarily top‐down nor violent from above but also reproduced from below. In both South and North Korea, especially from the 1960s to the 1970s, state power had internal dynamics that penetrated the day‐to‐day activities of most citizens and led them to actively accept and participate in nationalist rule. This article explores an understudied aspect of the two Koreas' state power that was disciplinarily diffused in people's everyday practices through reproduction of aggressive nationalism from below and the organic construction of the individual body and nation.
