In this article, I argue that in the age of neoliberal (postindustrial) globalization identity politics, the reification and commodification of (serial) identity practices, cultures, and “all of the accoutrements of the economy of spectacle and the manufacturing of images and fetish desires,” on the one hand, and the continuous atomization of the human subject in (neo) liberalism on the other are mechanisms for creating surplus-value and continuing capitalism’s domination over the world in the era of climate change. These two dialectical practices are offset by an emerging call for a multipolar world order undergirded by a nationalism grounded in Karl Polanyi’s double movement.

This article explores the nature of death within Mocombe’s consciousness field theory, which highlights the origins and nature of consciousness in the multiverse. Within the theory, Mocombe posits death to be of three instances, 1) quantum resonance collapse; 2) reincarnation; and 3) absorption into the absolute vacuum of the multiverse.

This work attempts to understand the contemporary Haitian state, which is a paragon of the neoliberal state model. Haiti’s neoliberal state is a colonial state impoverished to serve American global capitalist hegemony under the auspices of a Haitian comprador bourgeoisie and oligarchy composed of professionals, managers, intellectuals, and business elites in Haiti and the diaspora. However, unlike Chile, which the West points to as the success of the neoliberal model and process, Haiti’s model is a complete failure, similar to the attempt to neoliberalize Russia post the fall of the Soviet Union. Whereas Russia, under Vladimir Putin, was able to combat the deleterious effects of the neoliberal process, Haiti is unable to do so. The work posits that Haiti’s failures rest on its colonial experiences under mercantilist and liberal capitalism and the embourgeoisement of its population on the island and the diaspora.

This article argues that in contrast to modern moral philosophy’s focus on will and choice, British philosopher and novelist Iris Murdoch’s moral theory of “attention”, defined as a just and loving gaze, focuses on the quality of consciousness and individual moral growth, which can help to promote individual moral perception in caring for the elderly in an aging society, especially to realize an ethical attention to the older people.

This article posits that the shift from industrial capitalism to postindustrial capitalism in the West has led to what Mocombe deems emasculated and feminine patriarchy, the assumption of patriarchal norms by the state, its ideological apparatuses, queers, and women (given the feminization and queerification of the postindustrial workplace) from individual men whose masculinity is no longer associated with being producer and provider as it was under industrial capitalism; instead, they have been interpellated and embourgeoised, like their female counterparts, to define their masculinity as sensitive entrepreneurs, consumers, and or service workers. Black men in this social structure are, paradoxically, emasculated and hyper-masculinized. The former, given their poverty and under-education in the postindustrial social structure they are unable to assume the service-worker, consumer, and entrepreneur emasculated identity required to recursively organize and reproduce their being-in-the-world; the latter, the entertainment industry and athletic domain have become the spheres they are relegated to where their hyper-masculinity is overemphasized as means to the emasculated identity.

Isolationist ideology made the United States at the beginning of its development more of an island encircled by the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans than a New World. However, after the formation of the American nation, “Manifest Destiny” became deeply embedded in the national beliefs based on Protestant culture over time. The former laid the foundation for the American position on internal and external affairs, while the latter determined the way Americans interacted with the outside world. At least until they took center stage on the world stage after World War I, isolation seemed to be the golden rule for Americans. Did “manifest destiny” put an end to isolationism, or did isolationism give rise to “divine destiny”? Or did the two complement each other and finally play a role in specific foreign policy decisions? These are the questions that accompany the history of the establishment and development of the United States and are worth exploring.

In both Western and Chinese contexts, “ethics” and “morality” have always been confused by semantics and blurred boundaries, and “ethics and morality” or “morality and ethics” are often confused with each other. This situation has brought a lot of inconvenience to academic research. Although there have been many research results on the relationship between their, there is no general consensus, and it is necessary to re-analyze and summarize them. In summary, there are three types of research on the relationship between ethics and morality in recent years in Chinese academia: synonymous, heterogeneous, species and genera. Clarifying the relationship between ethics and morality can effectively prevent the tendency of ethical moralism and moral ethicism, help clarify the issue of attribution of ethics and moral disciplines, and at the same time help rebuild the moral beliefs of contemporary people.

Professor M. Sandel argues in the book Justice: What is the Right Thing to do, that virtue and the common good capture the essence of morality as well as that justice is dependent upon morality. These two arguments come from his well-known lectures with Harvard University. But can they be upheld? Or are these words -“virtue” and “common good”- building stones of morality?

The Long March of the Chinese Workers’ and Peasants’ Red Army created a great miracle in human history. This article is based on a historical review of eight important decisions and actions during the central Red Army’s crossing of the Dadu River in the Long March, including feigning attack on Fulin, lightly taking Caluo, night raiding Anshun, forcefully crossing the Dadu River, dividing troops in Anshun, flanking and supporting from the right, galloping and advancing from the left, and courageously seizing the Luding Bridge, aiming to explore the military strategy transformation and the active defense strategy adopted by the Red Army during the crossing of the Dadu River in the Long March, this victory embodies the important historical significance and practical enlightenment of combining the spirit of courage and strategic wisdom, decision-making and tactical execution, and showcasing the military principles and tactics of fighting battles with no certainty of victory, displaying bravery, fearlessness of sacrifice and fatigue, and continuous combat, striving to annihilate the enemy in motion, and supplementing one’s own military supplies by capturing those of the enemy. The triumph of “Crossing the Dadu River” is a shining example of perfect fusion.

Sanxingdui, the symbol of ancient Shu civilization, has been known to the world since the end of 1920s, which has gone through nearly 100 years of archaeological exploration and excavation. Its discovery completed the historical blank of Bashu urban civilization?about 770BC—316BC? as well as displayed the unique artistic world and cultural psychology of ancient Bashu people. Based on the magnificent history and remarkable depth of Chinese civilization, Sanxingdui culture has initiated the journey of cultural publicity since the 1990s. With the development of science and technology, arrival of the 5G era and new media, the publicity of Sanxingdui culture further reached the world. This paper briefly organizes the course and present situation of Sanxingdui culture’s publicity toward the world, and analyzes the boosting forces of Sanxingdui culture’s external publicity in the new era. Sanxingdui’s cultural publicity will be based on cultural IP, striving to comply with the communication characteristics and laws of the 5G era, and enriching the information service forms, so as to better promote its culture to the world.
