Jean-Paul Sartre is regarded as a leading figure in the 20th-century philosophy due to his great contributions to the theories on existentialism and freedom. One of Sartre’s notable works—“Why Write?” sheds light on his philosophical contemplations on freedom and free will. On Sartre’s upcoming 117 birthday, we make an in-depth analysis into “Why Write?” in an attempt to critically and better learn about Sartre’s Freedom Philosophy. Sartre embraces absolute freedom, a consequence of which, according to Sartre, is full responsibility. However, his notion of freedom is still interspersed with contradictions if we take what he has said about absolute freedom and full responsibility into careful consideration.
让-保罗·萨特因其对存在主义和自由理论的巨大贡献而被认为是20世纪哲学的领军人物。萨特最著名的作品之一是《为什么写作?》揭示了他对自由和自由意志的哲学思考。在萨特即将迎来117岁生日之际,我们对《为什么写作?》,试图批判性地更好地了解萨特的自由哲学。萨特信奉绝对的自由,根据萨特的说法,其结果是完全的责任。然而,如果我们仔细考虑他所说的绝对自由和完全责任,他的自由概念仍然是矛盾的。

Legacy of the One-Child Policy: Marriage Dilemmas in Urban and Rural China 独生子女政策的遗产:中国城乡的婚姻困境

China’s one-child policy, the family planning policy enforced in 1980, continued for almost 36 years and created a lasting impact on both China’s declining total fertility rate (TFR) and its sex ratio imbalance. This paper discusses the marriage dilemma caused by the one-child policy and its separate outcomes in urban and rural areas. In urban areas, the expense for childbearing, the equated monthly installment (EMI) payments, and the self-consuming nature of marriage contributed to the declining marriage rate as well as the TFR. In rural settings, the surplus of single men due to the entrenched “son preference” created a demand for the bride-trafficking market, an industry of purchasing a bride as a form of property. In this paper, I conclude that the marriage crisis and its side effects are the legacies of the one-child policy, and the Chinese government needs to craft effective approaches in addressing these problems.
中国的独生子女政策,即1980年实施的计划生育政策,持续了近36年,对中国不断下降的总生育率(TFR)和性别比例失衡产生了持久的影响。本文讨论了独生子女政策造成的婚姻困境及其在城市和农村的不同后果。在城市地区,生育费用、等额分期付款(EMI)和婚姻的自我消费性质是导致结婚率和总生育率下降的原因。在农村地区,由于根深蒂固的“重男轻女”观念,单身男性的过剩催生了对新娘贩卖市场的需求,这是一种购买新娘作为财产的行业。在本文中,我得出结论,婚姻危机及其副作用是独生子女政策的遗留问题,中国政府需要制定有效的方法来解决这些问题。

The “Authentic Evocation” in Ethnographic Photography as Art: Taking Lau Pok Chi’s Art Practice as an Example

This article emphasizes the disciplinary problems of anthropology after the representation crisis, and the connected phenomenon of the intersection of the disciplines of art and anthropology, considering the art practice of the Chinese American photographer Lau Pok Chi, mainly his Cuban Chinese project, as an instance for showcasing the authenticity of photographic art as ethnographic practice and its value for the development of anthropology. After assessing the important motivation of the artist’s practice, which is rooted in his construction of self-identity, and the methods and principles of his “quasi-ethnographic” research, this paper recommends that the authenticity of such type of ethnographic photography also obtains from its exposure of reflexivity and the transcendence of the separation of “things” and “words”, which may further motivate the multiple explorations of the two-way intervention between these two disciplines.
本文以美籍华人摄影师刘伯志的艺术实践,主要是他的古巴华人项目为例,强调再现危机后人类学的学科问题,以及艺术与人类学学科交叉的关联现象,以展示摄影艺术作为民族志实践的真实性及其对人类学发展的价值。本文在评估艺术家实践的重要动机,其根源在于自我认同的建构,以及其“准民族志”研究的方法和原则之后,认为这种类型的民族志摄影的真实性也来自于其对反身性的暴露和对“物”与“词”分离的超越,这可能进一步激发这两个学科之间双向介入的多重探索。

‘Alexa, was Buddha Born in Nepal?’: microcelebrity, citizenship, and digital diaspora on YouTube “Alexa,佛是在尼泊尔出生的吗?”:YouTube上的微型名人、公民身份和数字侨民

ABSTRACT The claim that ‘Buddha was Born in Nepal’ is pervasive in contemporary discourses about Nepali national identity. This article focuses on the ways in which the claim to Buddha’s birthplace is deployed by some Nepalis living beyond Nepal as both a means of maintaining a connection to Nepal as a diasporic homeland and as a means of building their own online celebrity. In particular, I analyse how the claim is communicated online by three Nepali YouTubers (Lex Limbu, James Shrestha, and Sagar Tamang), whose videos embed the claim to Buddha’s birthplace within recognizable genres, memes, and narratives that are part of the Internet’s shared culture. I argue that the makers of these videos are not only reaffirming their own sense of connection to Nepal as their diasporic homeland, but are also building their own personal brands by linking their own reputations as digital microcelebrities with the Buddha’s global name recognition. Through this case study, I aim to theorize how microcelebrity can be a form of practicing citizenship at a distance within the context of a digital diaspora.
摘要“佛生于尼泊尔”的说法在当代关于尼泊尔民族认同的话语中随处可见。这篇文章关注的是一些生活在尼泊尔以外的尼泊尔人对佛祖出生地的主张,这既是一种与散居海外的尼泊尔保持联系的方式,也是一种建立自己的网红的方式。特别是,我分析了三位尼泊尔YouTuber(Lex Limbu、James Shrestha和Sagar Tamang)是如何在网上传播这一说法的,他们的视频将对佛陀出生地的说法嵌入了可识别的流派、模因和叙事中,这些都是互联网共享文化的一部分。我认为,这些视频的制作者不仅重申了他们与散居海外的尼泊尔的联系,而且还通过将自己作为数字微型名人的声誉与佛陀的全球知名度联系起来,建立了自己的个人品牌。通过这个案例研究,我的目的是理论化微精英如何在数字侨民的背景下成为一种远距离实践公民身份的形式。

Folk dance/vulgar dance: erotic lavani and the hereditary performance labour 民间舞/俗舞:情色拉瓦尼与世袭表演劳动

ABSTRACT Performed as hereditary labour by women artists of lower castes largely for male entertainment, the erotic dance of lavani seems to occupy two different bifurcated worlds. There is a licit world of festivals, television dance shows, and urban revivalist cultural shows where lavani is performed in its vernacularized codified form, and valorized as the folk art of Maharashtra. The nostalgia of the urban cosmopolitan middle class for the indigenous and rural, and the concern of the regional state and elites for cultural identity undergirds this folk world. The other world is of a range of subaltern cultural spaces from local performance houses (kala kendra), to stage shows and orchestras, where the erotic dance of lavani is performed for livelihood, and is castigated as vulgar, ‘just sex, no art’. While the cultural labour of this ‘vulgar’ lavani is performed only by the hereditary women artists, they have only a nominal presence in the folk world of lavani. This paper seeks to unpack the politics of folklorization that rests upon the exclusion of vulgarized but an organically thriving performance of lavani. It further interrogates how the hereditary cultural labour is central to this process of folklorization.
摘要拉瓦尼的艳舞作为下层女性艺术家的世袭劳动,主要是为了男性娱乐,它似乎占据了两个不同的分叉世界。在一个由节日、电视舞蹈节目和城市复兴主义文化节目组成的合法世界里,拉瓦尼以其当地化的编纂形式表演,并被视为马哈拉施特拉邦的民间艺术。城市国际化中产阶级对土著和农村的怀念,以及地区国家和精英对文化认同的关注,支撑着这个民间世界。另一个世界是一系列下层文化空间,从当地的表演场所(卡拉肯德拉)到舞台表演和管弦乐队,在那里,拉瓦尼的艳舞是为了谋生,并被谴责为粗俗的,“只有性,没有艺术”。虽然这种“粗俗”的拉瓦尼的文化劳动只由世袭的女艺术家进行,但她们在拉瓦尼的民间世界中只是名义上的存在。本文试图揭示民俗政治,它建立在对拉瓦尼粗俗但有机繁荣的表演的排斥之上。它进一步质疑了世袭文化劳动是如何在这一民俗化过程中发挥核心作用的。

Reading Benjamin Franklin’s life story in Bareilly 在巴雷利读本杰明·富兰克林的生平故事

ABSTRACT This essay follows the print history of Benjamin Franklin’s life story. It appears first in William and Robert Chambers’ The Moral Class Book (1839) in Edinburgh and later in the Bareilly Tattvabodhini Sabha’s Niti Pradip (1870). As we juxtapose the English Franklin alongside the Hindi Franklin, it becomes possible to see the pliancy and polysemic character of a life story that emerges at the intersections of history and literature. It absorbs different meanings for readers separated by race, nation, language and gender and becomes an unpredictable vehicle for contradictory aspirations among male and female readers. At times illuminating a commitment to entrepreneurial and working class aspirations, particularly those of printer-publishers, it signals an interest in modernity and its institutions. At the same time, the themes of publicness and statesmanship make Franklin’s life an unusual pedagogical device for women readers in late colonial India. As we trace the Franklin life story through shifting linguistic and interpretative frames, it calls attention to the fraught dynamic in cultural and educational debates of the late colonial period in north India.
本文讲述了本杰明·富兰克林生平的印刷史。它首先出现在威廉和罗伯特·钱伯斯在爱丁堡出版的《道德阶级书》(1839年)中,后来出现在Bareilly Tattvabodhini Sabha的《Niti Pradip》(1870年)中。当我们将英语版的富兰克林与印地语版的富兰克林并列时,我们就有可能看到一个出现在历史和文学交叉点的人生故事的顺从性和多义性。它为不同种族、民族、语言和性别的读者吸收了不同的含义,成为男女读者矛盾愿望的不可预测的载体。它有时阐明了对企业家和工人阶级愿望的承诺,特别是印刷出版商的愿望,标志着对现代性及其制度的兴趣。与此同时,公众性和政治家风度的主题使富兰克林的生活成为殖民地后期印度女性读者的一种不同寻常的教学手段。当我们通过不断变化的语言和解释框架来追溯富兰克林的人生故事时,它引起了人们对印度北部殖民后期文化和教育辩论中令人担忧的动态的关注。

Foreign Influences and Localization: The Evolution of Korean Music Through History 外来影响与本土化:韩国音乐的历史演变

Korean music has a distinct history and characteristics that can be traced back centuries. Over the years, while Korea has maintained its cultural identity through years of struggle and oppression, its engagements with neighboring countries and foreign occupying powers have had a lasting and syncretic impact on its musical evolution. This journey has been shaped by a number of social, political, and historical factors, including national pride, extensive foreign presence through most of the twentieth century, governmental concerns over the preservation of Korean authenticity in music, the development of global music markets, and a dynamic domestic youth culture. Throughout, Korean music has been able to preserve its unique characteristics while accepting a high level of foreign musical influence. It has conquered large domestic and global audiences by generating new musical styles through a complex and divergent mix of imitation and localization of foreign influences while continuously reverting to and maintaining Korean authenticity.
韩国音乐有着鲜明的历史和特点,可以追溯到几个世纪以前。多年来,虽然韩国通过多年的斗争和压迫保持了其文化特征,但与邻国和外国占领国的接触对其音乐演变产生了持久而综合的影响。这段旅程受到许多社会、政治和历史因素的影响,包括民族自豪感、20世纪大部分时间里广泛的外国存在、政府对保护韩国音乐真实性的关注、全球音乐市场的发展以及充满活力的国内青年文化。一直以来,韩国音乐在接受外国音乐的高度影响的同时,保持了自己独特的特点。它通过对外国影响的模仿和本土化的复杂多样的混合,创造了新的音乐风格,并不断恢复和保持韩国的原创性,从而征服了国内外的广大观众。

The Dàodéjīng: A 2022 Translation Dàodéjīng: 2022年的翻译
IF 0.5 0 ASIAN STUDIES Pub Date : 2022-10-23 DOI: 10.5539/ach.v14n2p73
Shaun C. R. Ramsden
This paper is divided into two sections. Section one is a translation of the Dàodéjīng in English. Section two is an in-depth analysis and explanation of the translation of the Dàodéjīng in section one. This paper includes both Chinese versions of the standard Wáng Bì and a reconstructed Mǎwángduī version of the Dàodéjīng with the addition of appropriate commas and full stops. The two key aspects in regard to this paper’s commentary that may be somewhat different to previous works, is that this paper has defined the Dào as that action (or movement) within emptiness that cannot be seen with the naked eye but has brought all life into existence and also maintains it. Therefore, the translation of Lǎozǐ’s cornerstone philosophy could be a play on words, where wúwéi 無為 not only takes wú 無 to mean “no” or “non” but also takes wú to mean “emptiness.” The translation of wúwéi would therefore, also be, “emptiness [in] action,” which refers to the actions that are happening within emptiness which cannot be seen by the naked eye. The second aspect is in relation to dé 德. The English and Confucian meaning of virtue is having high moral standards. Lǎozǐ’s dé appears to have had little to do with morals in the modern sense of the word. From the 5 “virtues” mentioned by Lǎozǐ, we can clearly see that Lǎozǐ’s virtue was based on following the principles of Dào. This paper therefore proposes that the dé can be translated as “quiescence.”
本文分为两部分。第一部分是Dàodéjīng的英文翻译。第二节对第一节中Dàodéjīng的翻译进行了深入的分析和解释。本文包括标准Wáng Bì的中文版本和Dàodéjīng的重建Mǎwángduī版本,并添加了适当的逗号和句号。这篇论文评论的两个关键方面可能与之前的作品有所不同,这篇论文将Dào定义为虚无中的行动(或运动),无法用肉眼看到,但却使所有生命存在并维持它。因此,翻译Lǎozǐ的基础哲学可能是一个文字游戏,wúwéi不仅用wú表示“不”或“非”,还用wú表示“空”。因此,wúwéi的翻译也可以是“行动中的空性”,指的是在空性中发生的、肉眼无法看到的行为。第二个方面是与“德”有关。在英语和儒家思想中,美德的含义是具有很高的道德标准。从现代意义上讲,Lǎozǐ的《圣经》似乎与道德没有什么关系。从Lǎozǐ提到的5个“美德”中,我们可以清楚地看到Lǎozǐ的美德是建立在遵循Dào原则的基础上的。因此,本文提出,“静默”可译为“宁静”。

Gunki monogatari (war tales) reflected the state of Japan during medieval times. An example of such stories, The Tale of the Heike (Note 1) describes the time surrounding the destruction of the Taira clan, illustrating how those events shifted the history of Japan. Concepts central to the narrative, including “mujōkan 無常観” and “hōganbiiki判官贔屓,” remain rooted in modern Japanese society. However, gender-oriented research on The Tale of the Heike is still limited. By applying semiotic analysis along with socio-historical approach, this study discusses the societal position of The Tale of the Heike in Japan, drawing attention to the female characters represented and analyzing the nature of gender in the story. This research also considers the historical and social backgrounds that produced the foundations for that gender representation. The study reveals that the representation of female characters, especially shirabyōshi (Note 2), had a deep political role. It also recognizes that Cloistered Emperor Go-Shirakawa involved many women in his approach to fighting the Heike clan. Finally, it demonstrates how binary opposition and gender representation in The Tale of the Heike may have been used to promote the Heike clan stereotypes, resembling certain forms of modern-day media.
战争故事(Gunki monogatari)反映了中世纪日本的状态。这类故事的一个例子,《平池的故事》(注1)描述了平氏家族灭亡前后的时间,说明了这些事件如何改变了日本的历史。故事的核心概念,包括“mujōkan”和“hōganbiiki”,仍然根植于现代日本社会。然而,以性别为导向的《海克的故事》研究仍然有限。本研究运用符号学分析和社会历史研究方法,探讨《平池物语》在日本的社会地位,关注其所表现的女性角色,分析故事中的性别本质。这项研究还考虑了产生这种性别代表性基础的历史和社会背景。研究表明,女性角色的表现,特别是shirabyōshi(注2),具有深刻的政治作用。它还承认,在与平池氏族作战的过程中,隐退的白川原天皇让许多女性参与其中。最后,它展示了《黑克的故事》中的二元对立和性别代表如何被用来促进黑克氏族的刻板印象,类似于现代媒体的某些形式。
