Abstract:In recent years, there has been a noticeable presence of children known as "unrecognized" in the Vietnamese media. These children are the offspring of Vietnamese women married to Korean or Taiwanese men who have returned to Vietnam following divorce or separation. This article focuses on these marginalized mixed children and explores the diversity of their backgrounds and experiences after returning home. It establishes how various barriers faced by mothers have discouraged them from securing their children's citizenship, resulting in the "unrecognized" status of the latter. As established in this article, this leads to both structural and social barriers that include isolation and limited access to education.
摘要:近年来,越南媒体上出现了大量被称为“未被认可”的儿童。这些孩子是越南妇女嫁给离婚或分居后返回越南的韩国或台湾男子所生的孩子。本文关注这些被边缘化的混血儿童,探讨他们回国后的背景和经历的多样性。报告指出,母亲面临的各种障碍使她们不愿为子女取得公民身份,导致后者的地位“得不到承认”。如本文所述,这导致了结构性和社会障碍,包括孤立和受教育机会有限。

Seeking Pleasure in Peril: Male Same-Sex Relations during the Cultural Revolution 在危险中寻求快乐:文革时期的男性同性关系

Abstract:This article is part of a larger research project that traces the history of male same-sex relations in China during the Mao era, a topic on which virtually no scholarship is currently available. The Chinese government named the Cultural Revolution (1966–76) "ten years of turmoil" in its aftermath. Stories circulate widely about men who were labeled as sodomites, humiliated and tortured in public, and sentenced to hard labor; some reportedly were beaten to death or committed suicide during this period. Using oral history and archival cases collected by the author, this article complicates this narrative about the Cultural Revolution by documenting different experiences of sexual awakening, ingenuity, and resilience of those men as well as their fear, misfortune, and tribulations. Despite all the risks of being arrested, interrogated, and disciplined by the authorities, clandestine sex between men persisted in both private and public spaces throughout this tumultuous period.
摘要:本文是一个更大的研究项目的一部分,该项目追溯了毛时代中国男性同性关系的历史,这一主题目前几乎没有学术研究。中国政府将其命名为文化大革命(1966-76)“十年动乱”的后果。关于男人被贴上鸡奸者的标签,当众羞辱和折磨,并被判处苦役的故事广为流传;据报告,在此期间有些人被殴打致死或自杀。本文利用作者收集的口述历史和档案案例,通过记录这些人在性觉醒、独创性和韧性方面的不同经历,以及他们的恐惧、不幸和苦难,使文革的叙述变得复杂。尽管有被当局逮捕、审讯和惩罚的风险,在这个动荡的时期,男人之间的秘密性行为在私人和公共场所都持续存在。

From the Law of Value Debate to the One-Child Policy in China: On Accounting and Biopolitics 从价值规律之争到中国的独生子女政策:论会计与生命政治

Abstract:This article argues that the origins of the one-child policy beginning in 1980 in China, and its development into the current system of "comprehensive population management," are to be found not in any unfolding of a statist or authoritarian logic, or within the parameters of a nominally "socialist" project, but rather in a return to a properly capitalist set of concerns and governmental techniques, the first iteration of which can be traced to the 1920s and 1930s. With regard to the broad set of economic reforms launched in the period 1979–81, it is argued that the one-child policy is absolutely continuous with other reforms across economic sectors (agricultural responsibility systems and urban enterprise reforms) and discontinuous with anything we might understand as population management in the period 1949–76. The "law of value debate" in 1979, which "resolved" a long-standing set of issues concerning national accounting, planning, and accumulation, is found to be—despite its apparently Marxist character, derivation, and vocabulary—the passage through which a capitalist developmental logic was reintroduced into Chinese governing, with significant consequences.
摘要:本文认为,始于1980年的中国独生子女政策的起源,以及其发展成为当前的“综合人口管理”体系,不是在任何国家主义或威权主义逻辑的展开中,也不是在名义上的“社会主义”项目的参数中,而是在回归到一套适当的资本主义关注和政府技术中,其第一次迭代可以追溯到20世纪20年代和30年代。关于1979年至1981年期间启动的一系列广泛的经济改革,有人认为,独生子女政策与其他经济部门的改革(农业责任制和城市企业改革)是绝对连续的,而与1949年至1976年期间我们可能理解为人口管理的任何改革都是间断的。1979年的“价值规律之争”“解决”了一系列长期存在的关于国民核算、计划和积累的问题,尽管它具有明显的马克思主义特征、来源和词汇,但它被发现是资本主义发展逻辑重新引入中国治理的途径,并产生了重大后果。

The Making of Homo Socialist: The Discursive Analysis of the Ideological Production of Class in China, 1949–1976 社会主义人的形成:1949-1976年中国阶级意识形态生产的话语分析

Abstract:Based on a critique of the history project titled "Oral History of Peasants' Ordinary Life in the Revolutionary Era of China," this article provides an analysis of class ideology production from Land Reform Movement to the Cultural Revolution in China. Thirty years of socialist construction in China was based on the craft of making the Homo Socialist. The focus here is on how personal experiences were transformed into state-endorsed conduct via the discourse of class and class struggle. Over the course of the sociopolitical transformations leading to the Cultural Revolution, "class" changed from a socioeconomic designation to a political behavioral metaphor, and in the end a purely symbolic gesture; personal experiences were transformed from hallmarks of class privilege to virtual identification with imagined class struggle. And the peasants went from being "owners of bitterness" to "debtors of bitterness" on the way to becoming "sinners of the revolution"—who gradually submitted themselves to the regime in the name of revolution, liberation, and redemption. These transformations were realized through discursive practices connecting personally embodied experiences with the abstract Marxist theory of class and class struggle. Examining the shifting nature of class ideology production helps to explain how the Chinese Communist Party understood the effects of its governance and how people found class ideology meaningful to them, even when it reached the point of absurdity.
摘要:本文基于对“中国革命时期农民日常生活口述史”历史项目的批判,分析了从土改运动到文革时期中国阶级意识形态的产生。中国三十年的社会主义建设是建立在“社会主义人”的基础上的。这里的重点是个人经历如何通过阶级和阶级斗争的话语转化为国家认可的行为。在导致文化大革命的社会政治转型过程中,“阶级”从一个社会经济名称变成了一个政治行为隐喻,最终变成了一个纯粹的象征性姿态;个人经历从阶级特权的标志转变为对想象中的阶级斗争的虚拟认同。农民从“苦主”变成“苦主”,成为“革命罪人”,以革命、解放、救赎的名义向政权屈服。这些转变是通过将个人具体经验与抽象的马克思主义阶级和阶级斗争理论联系起来的话语实践来实现的。考察阶级意识形态生产的变化性质有助于解释中国共产党如何理解其治理的影响,以及人们如何发现阶级意识形态对他们有意义,即使它达到了荒谬的地步。

Translational Nation: Politics and Re-presentation at the Independence Hall of Korea “翻译的国家:政治与再呈现”,韩国独立纪念馆

Abstract:This article develops a theory of nation form as translational, referring to the praxis of re-presenting and thus rendering sensible the nation through an examination of the Tongnip Kinyŏmkwan (Independence Hall of Korea), a national museum designed to commemorate Korea's anticolonial resistance efforts and its independence from the Japanese Empire in 1945. Translation in the context of this article alludes to the praxis of re-presenting and thus reconstituting the nation through what Rancière calls "the distribution of the sensible." The Hall, in other words, suggests that the nation does not matter unto itself but rather that it is in such moments of articulation and sensibility that the nation is hailed into existence. This article makes the argument that the interactional outcomes between visitors and the Independence Hall direct us toward an interpretation of the Hall as a space of enactment of the translational nation, which refers to a re-formation of nation through translation across interrelated matrices including text, trauma, and time. This translational praxis, understood in the context of the interplay between state-sponsored zeal and popular anemia, centers on the translation of communicative text into theatrical text, somber tragedy into diluted play, and discrete historical events into a posthistorical genealogy.
摘要:本文发展了一种民族形式翻译理论,指的是通过对统nip Kinyŏmkwan(韩国独立纪念馆)的考察,重新呈现并从而使国家变得合理的实践。统nip Kinyŏmkwan(韩国独立纪念馆)是一个国家博物馆,旨在纪念1945年韩国的反殖民抵抗努力和脱离日本帝国的独立。在本文的语境中,翻译暗示了通过ranci所说的“感性的分配”来再现和重构国家的实践。换句话说,这个大厅表明,这个国家本身并不重要,而是在这种清晰和敏感的时刻,这个国家被欢呼着存在。本文认为,参观者与独立厅之间的互动结果引导我们将独立厅解释为一个翻译国家的制定空间,这是指通过文本、创伤和时间等相互关联的矩阵的翻译来重构国家。这种翻译实践,在国家支持的热情和大众贫血之间相互作用的背景下被理解,集中在将交际文本翻译成戏剧文本,将阴郁的悲剧翻译成稀释的戏剧,将离散的历史事件翻译成后历史谱系。

The Audiovisual Turn of Recent Korean Documentary Cinema: The Time-Image, Place, and Landscape 近代韩国纪录片电影的视听转向:时间、影像、地点和景观

Abstract:This article discusses several documentary films since the 2010s that portray the place and the landscape related to Korea's social reality or a personal or collective memory of its past, classifying their common trope as the "audiovisual turn." The trope refers to the uses of the poetic and aesthetic techniques to highlight the visual and auditory qualities of the images that mediate the landscape or the place. This article argues that the films' experiments with these techniques mark formal and epistemological breaks with the expository and participatory modes of the traditional Korean activist documentary, as they create an array of Deleuzian time-images in which a social place or natural landscape is reconfigured as the cinematic space liberated from a linear time and layered with the imbrication of the present and the past. The images, however, are read as updating the activist documentary's commitment to politics and history, as they renew the viewer's sensory and affective awareness of the place and the landscape and thereby render them ruins.
摘要:本文讨论了自2010年以来的几部纪录片,这些纪录片描绘了与韩国社会现实或个人或集体的过去记忆有关的地方和景观,并将它们的共同修辞归类为“视听转向”。比喻是指使用诗意和美学技巧来突出图像的视觉和听觉品质,调解景观或地方。本文认为,这些电影对这些技术的实验标志着形式上和认识论上与传统韩国活动家纪录片的说明性和参与性模式的突破,因为它们创造了一系列德勒兹式的时间图像,其中社会场所或自然景观被重新配置为从线性时间中解放出来的电影空间,并以现在和过去的瓦片分层。然而,这些图像被解读为更新了这部激进主义纪录片对政治和历史的承诺,因为它们更新了观众对这个地方和景观的感官和情感意识,从而使它们成为废墟。

Remade in China: Rule of Law, Democracy, and the Chinese 12 Angry Men 《中国再造:法治、民主和中国的十二怒汉

Abstract:Against the background of the growing effort in the Xi Jinping era to sinicize democracy and rule of law, much critical attention has surrounded Chinese models of governance variously conceived as "humane authority" and "political meritocracy." What is missing from the literature on the export of the so-called "Chinese solution," however, is the consideration of popular cultural products. This article takes as its case study the state-sponsored film 12 Citizens, the 2014 remake of the classic 12 Angry Men, most famously known in its 1957 version directed by Sidney Lumet and starring Henry Fonda. As there is no jury system in China, 12 Citizens instead presents the scenario as a law school mock trial on Anglo-American law, with crucial elements indigenized to the local setting. In one masterly maneuver after another, the remake overturns the democratic tenor of the original. Yet as a metanarrative about adaptation, the film reveals ambivalent attitudes not only toward the jury system and the West but also toward adaptation itself, open to an alternative interpretation in which the figure of the citizen, as a member of a political community actively engaged in public matters, precisely takes center stage. This ambivalence challenges the very concept of "Chinese characteristics."
然而,关于所谓“中国方案”输出的文献中缺少的是对流行文化产品的考虑。本文以2014年由国家赞助的电影《十二公民》为例进行研究,这部电影是经典电影《十二怒汉》的翻拍版,最著名的是1957年由西德尼·吕美特执导、亨利·方达主演的版本。由于中国没有陪审团制度,《十二公民》将这个场景呈现为一场以英美法为基础的法学院模拟审判,并将关键要素本土化。在一个又一个巧妙的策略中,翻拍版推翻了原版的民主基调。然而,作为一部关于改编的元叙事,这部电影不仅揭示了对陪审团制度和西方的矛盾态度,也揭示了对改编本身的矛盾态度,它对另一种解释持开放态度,在这种解释中,作为积极参与公共事务的政治共同体成员的公民形象恰恰处于中心位置。这种矛盾心理挑战了“中国特色”的概念。

Racist Attachments: Dakko-chan, Black Kitsch, and Kawaii Culture 种族主义依恋:达克-陈、黑人媚俗和卡哇伊文化

Abstract:This article explores the ties between anti-Black racist kitsch and kawaii culture through the history of the Dakko-chan doll. In what came to be called the "Dakko-chan boom" of 1960, tens of thousands of Japanese people lined up to purchase an inflatable blackface doll with a circular red mouth, grass skirt, and winking hologram eyes. Dakko means "to hug," and Dakko-chan's astronomical popularity resulted in part from the way the doll could be worn as an accessory, attached to the body by its hugging arms. This article asks what it meant for Japan, a nation still recovering from World War II and the American occupation, to quite literally embrace American blackface in the form of an embraceable doll. Rejecting the claim that blackface loses its significance in a Japanese context, this article argues that Dakko-chan cannot be considered devoid of racist meanings. Emerging amid the political turmoil surrounding the revision of the US-Japan Security Treaty, Dakko-chan came to express a wide range of contradictory feelings about race, sex, and nation, illustrating how affective attachments to racist forms have accrued rather than dissipated through their movement into new cultural contexts.
摘要:本文通过达克娃娃的历史,探讨反黑人种族主义媚俗与卡哇伊文化之间的联系。在1960年所谓的“Dakko-chan热潮”中,成千上万的日本人排队购买一个充气黑脸娃娃,这个娃娃有红色的圆嘴、草裙和闪烁的全息眼睛。Dakko的意思是“拥抱”,Dakko-chan之所以如此受欢迎,部分原因是它可以作为配饰佩戴,通过拥抱的手臂附着在身体上。这篇文章问的是,对于日本这个仍在从二战和美国占领中恢复过来的国家来说,以一个可拥抱的娃娃的形式接受美国的黑脸,意味着什么。这篇文章驳斥了黑脸在日本语境中失去意义的说法,认为Dakko-chan不能被认为没有种族主义含义。在围绕《美日安保条约》修订的政治动荡中出现的Dakko-chan,表达了关于种族、性别和国家的各种矛盾情绪,说明了对种族主义形式的情感依恋是如何在新的文化背景下积累而不是消散的。

Abstract:This article explores the changing ways the Japanese police understood and policed radical politics between 1900 and 1945. Specifically, it traces the process in which the objective of policing transformed from an emphasis on political organizations, their activities, publications, and assemblies in the 1900s to the policing of individuals ostensibly harboring "dangerous ideas" that were deemed threatening to state and capital—what the police came to categorize as "thought crime" by the late 1920s. Once "thought" was identified as an object for policing, Japanese police agencies began to practice a kind of intellectual history—thinking like a state—to distinguish dangerous thought and to understand its origin and its spread during the socioeconomic turbulence of the interwar period. Drawing on Jacques Rancière's theory of police, this article explores how police manuals and other publications categorized certain ideas, texts, enunciations, and slogans and distributed them based on the presumed degree of danger they posed to the imperial polity. It reveals how the expanded classifications and distributions of dangerous thought transformed policing in the 1920s, thereby extending imperial state power into various aspects of social life in interwar Japan.
摘要:本文探讨了1900年至1945年间日本警察对激进政治的理解和管理方式的变化。具体地说,本书追溯了警察的目标从20世纪强调政治组织、其活动、出版物和集会,转变为对表面上怀有威胁国家和资本的“危险思想”的个人进行监管的过程——到20世纪20年代末,警察将其归类为“思想犯罪”。一旦“思想”被确定为警务对象,日本警察机构就开始实践一种思想史——像国家一样思考——以区分危险思想,并在两次世界大战之间的社会经济动荡时期了解其起源和传播。借鉴Jacques ranci的警察理论,本文探讨了警察手册和其他出版物如何对某些思想、文本、声明和口号进行分类,并根据它们对帝国政体构成的假定危险程度进行分发。它揭示了危险思想的扩大分类和分布如何改变了20世纪20年代的治安,从而将帝国权力扩展到两次世界大战之间的日本社会生活的各个方面。
