The ‘ Social Construction of National Reality: Taiwan, Tibet, and Hong Kong ’ is a comprehensive and insightful exploration of the complex relationships between national identity, power, and representation. Authors Fu-Lai Yu and Diana Kwan provide a nuanced analysis of how di ff erent actors, both within and outside of the territories in question, shape and contest how Taiwan, Tibet, and Hong Kong are perceived and understood. The authors draw upon a range of sources, including interviews, media analysis, and political discourse, to provide a nuanced understanding of the complex interplay between di ff erent discursive frameworks and political realities. The authors leverages Peter Berger ’ s theory on the social construction of reality to explore the formation of national identity and the nation-building process and delve into how socialization through everyday life experiences cultivates ingroup and outgroup distinctions, separating nationals and non-nationals. By utilizing this theory, the authors aim to provide insight into the inter-national con fl icts, including the Taiwan Strait Crisis, Tibetan unrest, and the Hong Kong Umbrella Movement, that have arisen due to divergent national consciousnesses. At its core, this book critically examines how everyday experiences of power and representation are intertwined. Tony Fu-Lai Yu and Diana S. Kwan examine the construction of national identity through the lens of Thomas Luckmann and Peter Berger ’ s (1967) ‘ Social Construction Theory. ’ Yu and Kwan provide vivid insights into the nature of historical, ideological as well as political bases of the construction of national identities through an intersubjectivist approach, which is very compelling. They trace the historical origin of national identity in Tibet, Taiwan, and Hong Kong, including among the people of mainland China and analyze the historical as well as contemporary reasons that contribute to the construction of the national identity. The authors Yu and Kwan argue that national identities are constructed through the actions of individuals and institutions that have the power to shape
“国家现实的社会建构:台湾、西藏和香港”是对国家认同、权力和代表性之间复杂关系的全面而深刻的探索。作者余福来(Fu-Lai Yu)和关颖珊(Diana Kwan)细致入微地分析了这些地区内外的不同角色如何塑造和争论人们对台湾、西藏和香港的认知和理解。作者借鉴了一系列的资料来源,包括采访、媒体分析和政治话语,对不同话语框架和政治现实之间复杂的相互作用提供了细致入微的理解。作者运用彼得·伯杰关于现实的社会建构理论,探讨了国家认同的形成和国家建构的过程,探讨了通过日常生活经验的社会化如何培育群体内与群体外的区别,区分国民与非国民。利用这一理论,作者希望对台湾海峡危机、西藏动乱、香港雨伞运动等因民族意识分歧而产生的国际冲突提供深刻的见解。这本书的核心是批判性地审视了权力和代表的日常经历是如何交织在一起的。余福来和关颖珊通过托马斯·卢克曼和彼得·伯杰(1967)的《社会建构理论》审视了国家认同的建构。“Yu和Kwan通过主体间主义的方法,对国家身份建构的历史、意识形态和政治基础的本质提供了生动的见解,非常引人注目。”他们追溯了西藏、台湾和香港的民族认同的历史起源,包括中国大陆的人民,并分析了促成民族认同建构的历史和当代原因。作者Yu和Kwan认为,国家身份是通过个人和机构的行动构建的,而个人和机构有能力塑造国家身份

We have to talk about whiteness: widening the decolonial gates* 我们必须谈论白人:扩大非殖民化的大门

ABSTRACT Recently, the Latin American decolonial perspective has been receiving growing attention, not only in academia, but also in other social, political, and cultural spaces, including in Brazil. Among other debates, decolonial thinkers have brought to light the continuity of coloniality in different dimensions (particularly, even if not only) of Latin American realities, long after the territorial colonization was over. Therefore, by highlighting, debating, and theorizing on the colonialities of power, knowledge and being from a decolonial perspective, scholars have been unmasking the vast, violent, and oppressive consequences of Western, Eurocentric, modern, colonial, capitalist, racist and patriarchal paradigms, which still (even if with adaptations) dominate our multiple realities. Race is at the center of the continuity of coloniality and colonial heritage, imposing ontological and epistemological hierarchies that have caused the never-ending racialization, marginalization and suffering of most Latin Americans for centuries. Still, some debates and dimensions related to race could (and, as I will argue, should) be further explored within the decolonial perspective. In this paper, I would like to present whiteness studies and scholars as potential contributors to these debates in Latin America, further widening the decolonial gates, allowing us to better comprehend and critically analyze the many forms of continued coloniality and their violent, oppressive, and terrible consequences.
最近,拉丁美洲的非殖民化观点受到越来越多的关注,不仅在学术界,而且在其他社会、政治和文化空间,包括在巴西。在其他辩论中,非殖民化思想家揭示了在领土殖民化结束很久之后,殖民主义在拉丁美洲现实的不同方面(特别是,即使不是唯一)的连续性。因此,从非殖民化的角度出发,通过强调、辩论和理论化权力、知识和存在的殖民性,学者们一直在揭露西方、欧洲中心、现代、殖民、资本主义、种族主义和父权范式的巨大、暴力和压迫后果,这些范式仍然(即使经过调整)主导着我们的多重现实。种族是殖民和殖民遗产连续性的核心,强加于人的本体论和认识论等级制度导致了几个世纪以来大多数拉丁美洲人无休止的种族化、边缘化和痛苦。尽管如此,与种族有关的一些辩论和方面可以(并且,正如我将论证的那样,应该)在非殖民化的角度内进一步探讨。在本文中,我想介绍白人研究和学者作为拉丁美洲这些辩论的潜在贡献者,进一步扩大非殖民化的大门,使我们能够更好地理解和批判性地分析多种形式的持续殖民及其暴力,压迫和可怕的后果。

ABSTRACT Investigating expectant mothers’ pregnancy in Taiwan, this paper examines prenatal ultrasound as an ongoing invention of its users in general and pregnant women in particular. Instead of being passive consumers, pregnant women actively invent and reconfigure prenatal ultrasound using flexible interpretation and strategic reinscription. There is an inevitably ambivalent technological experience of prenatal ultrasound across cultures. Whereas pregnant women are pleased and reassured to see their babies ‘on the screen,’ my analysis shows that, prenatal ultrasound as a passive diagnostic tool that cannot offer active treatment, and the fact that prenatal ultrasound helps to make up morality surrounding pregnancy, constitutes the main source of mothers-to-be’s negative technological experiences of prenatal ultrasound. Whereas prenatal ultrasound has been regarded as an indispensable and authoritative method of keeping users informed, adopting a hybrid approach, pregnant women still actively refer to local knowledge to understand their pregnancy.
摘要本文调查了台湾准妈妈的怀孕情况,研究了产前超声作为其使用者,特别是孕妇正在进行的一项发明。孕妇不再是被动的消费者,而是积极发明和重新配置产前超声,使用灵活的解释和战略复盖。在不同的文化背景下,产前超声的技术体验不可避免地存在矛盾。尽管孕妇看到自己的孩子“出现在屏幕上”感到高兴和放心,但我的分析表明,产前超声作为一种被动的诊断工具,无法提供积极的治疗,而且产前超声有助于弥补怀孕的道德缺陷,这是准妈妈对产前超声负面技术体验的主要来源。尽管产前超声被认为是一种不可或缺的权威方法,可以让用户了解情况,但孕妇仍然积极参考当地知识来了解自己的怀孕情况。

‘Have we lost our sense of humour?!’ Affective senses of racial joking in Danish schools “我们失去幽默感了吗?”丹麦学校种族玩笑的情感感受

ABSTRACT Posing the rhetorical question ‘Have we lost our sense of humour?’ this article analyses senses of racial humour through the use of affect theory. Despite the common use of the idiom ‘a sense of humour’ within everyday speech, there is a lack of social and cultural analysis of the senses that guide understandings of whether or not something is funny. Through the lens of affect theory, this article explores sensory experiences of humour, showing how senses of humour are both affective corporeal experiences – such as laughter – and an affective relational flow between and among bodies. Drawing on interview material gathered in diverse schools in Denmark, the article analyses how students negotiate the use of racial humour with particular focus on tonalities of humour and the affective stakes involved in laughter and unlaughter. The article argues that affect theory can help bridge a gap in the literature on humour, which either reduces humour to bodily, mental and cognitive predispositions, or to social and cultural functions.
摘要提出反问“我们失去幽默感了吗?”本文运用情感理论对种族幽默感进行分析。尽管“幽默感”这个成语在日常言语中很常见,但缺乏对幽默感的社会和文化分析,无法指导人们理解某件事是否有趣。通过情感理论的视角,本文探讨了幽默的感官体验,展示了幽默感是如何既是情感的物质体验(如笑声),又是身体之间和身体之间的情感关系流。根据在丹麦不同学校收集的采访材料,文章分析了学生如何协商使用种族幽默,特别关注幽默的音调以及笑和不笑之间的情感利害关系。文章认为,情感理论有助于弥合幽默文学中的一个空白,这一空白要么将幽默归结为身体、心理和认知倾向,要么归结为社会和文化功能。

Strengths and limits of limitless English in India: a critical reflection on the relationship of English to a backward community 印度无限英语的优势与局限:对英语与落后社会关系的批判性反思

ABSTRACT English, initially being a language of imperial leaders and later of upper caste elites after independence, continues to remain an elitist language in India. Over the course of time and for various reasons, the need for English language learning has rapidly increased. English is also believed to promote social mobility for the people of backward communities. However, the history of social disparity in India has problematized the position of English in the country. On one hand English produces varied possibilities for economic growth and social change. On the other hand, its elitist and exclusively selective nature negatively impacts Indian society by alarming the public education sector which the most backward communities rely on even today. Even though someone from a backward community succeeds in learning English they would inevitably step into a more complex/hierarchical zone by positioning themselves in the complexity of a class structure.
摘要英语最初是帝国领导人的语言,后来独立后成为上层种姓精英的语言,但在印度仍然是一种精英语言。随着时间的推移,由于各种原因,对英语学习的需求迅速增加。英语也被认为可以促进落后社区的人们的社会流动性。然而,印度社会差异的历史使英语在该国的地位出现了问题。一方面,英语为经济增长和社会变革带来了各种可能性。另一方面,它的精英主义和纯粹的选择性对印度社会产生了负面影响,使最落后的社区即使在今天也依赖的公共教育部门感到担忧。即使来自落后社区的人成功地学习了英语,他们也会不可避免地进入一个更复杂/层次更高的区域,将自己定位在复杂的阶级结构中。

Technology ideology 技术意识形态

For the Global North and many in the South, contemporary ‘technoscience frames our everyday life at all levels, down to our notion of the self’ (Biagioli, 2009, p. 818). Consider these numbers: in 1965, fewer ‘than 12 materials were in wide use: wood, brick, iron, copper, gold, silver, and a few plastics’. Today, there is a comprehensive ‘materials basis to modern society’. The computer chip that enabled us to type this editorial contains more than sixty. New materials are taken as signs of progress. But the notion of endless growth and progress fails to acknowledge that unearthing these things is a drain on natural resources; we have a finite supply of the basic ingredients of modern material life; and potential substitutes rarely deliver equivalent quality (Graedel et al., 2015). The technology that relies on these materials is both a key index of modernity and its doom-laden consequence and portent – a bravura blend of reason and magic, of confidence and hubris. As befits a genealogy of ‘millenarianism, rationalism, and Christian redemption’ channelled through ‘monks, explorers, inventors, and... scientists’, technologies guarantee a present and a future that appear to be at once perfect and monstrous: life, liberty, happiness; death, enslavement, misery. Their ideological trappings offer transcendence via machinery rather than political-economic activity; but the machinery is always already obsolete and replaceable and has a saturnine side (Dinerstein, 2006, p. 569; Nye, 2006, p. 598). As Armand Mattelart explains, we are given ‘an eternal promise symbolizing a world that is better because it is united. From road and rail to information highways, this belief has been revived with each technological generation’ (2000, viii). Almost a century ago, Keynes suggested the near future would see a fifteen-hour work week, thanks to technology and compound interest (1963, pp. 358–73). But technologized societies always produce ‘unintended consequences’: good and bad, Pacific and violent, democratic and capitalist (Merton, 1936) through military, governmental, scholarly, and commercial desires and perversions. Whereas initial modernization by states was primarily concerned with establishing national power and accumulating and distributing wealth, developed modernity produces new, trans-territorial risks, beyond the scope of traditional governmental guarantees of collective security and affluence. Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri graphically, and romantically, describe the subsequent exchange of knowledge through computers as ‘immaterial labour’ (2000, p. 286, 290–292). How right they were, in terms of propaganda, how wrong in terms of environmental and social relations. For example, a ‘new practice of piety’ emerges with each ‘new communications technology’ (Hunter, 1988, p. 220), in the contradictory, competitive form: love letters/critiques, fantasies/anxieties, and annunciations/denunciations remorselessly, repetitively accompany each media innovation
对于全球北方和许多南方人来说,当代“技术科学从各个层面构建了我们的日常生活,一直到我们对自我的概念”(Biagioli,2009,第818页)。想想这些数字:1965年,只有不到12种材料被广泛使用:木材、砖、铁、铜、金、银和一些塑料。今天,有一个全面的“现代社会的物质基础”。使我们能够键入这篇社论的计算机芯片包含60多个。新材料被视为进步的标志。但是,无休止的增长和进步的概念没有承认,发掘这些东西是对自然资源的消耗;我们对现代物质生活的基本要素供应有限;潜在的替代品很少能提供同等的质量(Graedel等人,2015)。依赖于这些材料的技术既是现代性的关键指标,也是充满厄运的后果和预兆——理性与魔法、自信与傲慢的完美结合。这符合“千禧年主义、理性主义和基督教救赎”的谱系,通过“僧侣、探险家、发明家和。。。科学家们的技术保证了现在和未来看起来既完美又可怕:生命、自由、幸福;死亡、奴役、痛苦。他们的意识形态外衣通过机械而非政治经济活动提供了超越;但这种机器总是已经过时和可更换的,并且有土星的一面(Dinerstein,2006年,第569页;Nye,2006年第598页)。正如Armand Mattelart所解释的那样,我们被赋予了“一个永恒的承诺,象征着一个因为团结而变得更美好的世界”。从公路、铁路到信息高速公路,这种信念随着每一代技术的发展而复活”(2000,viii)。大约一个世纪前,凯恩斯提出,由于技术和复利,在不久的将来,每周工作15小时(1963年,第358-73页)。但技术社会总是通过军事、政府、学术和商业欲望和变态产生“意想不到的后果”:好的和坏的,太平洋的和暴力的,民主的和资本主义的(Merton,1936)。国家最初的现代化主要涉及建立国家权力、积累和分配财富,而发达的现代化产生了新的跨领域风险,超出了传统政府对集体安全和富裕的保障范围。Michael Hardt和Antonio Negri生动而浪漫地将随后通过计算机进行的知识交流描述为“非物质劳动”(2000年,第286290-292页)。他们在宣传方面是多么正确,在环境和社会关系方面是多么错误。例如,每一种“新的通信技术”都会出现一种“虔诚的新实践”(Hunter,1988,第220页),以矛盾、竞争的形式出现:每一种媒体创新都伴随着情书/批评、幻想/焦虑和无情、重复的宣告/谴责(Naughton,2014,第74-84页;Wajcman,2004,第1-9页)。因此,安东尼·吉登斯男爵建议“数字革命。。。使世界成为一体”,但“正在分裂和分裂”结果(2018)。第二次世界大战期间,美国科学研究与发展办公室主任Vannevar Bush自豪地谈到,计算是将人类从

ABSTRACT In this article, I discuss findings of a qualitative research conducted among thirty participants on their lived experiences with anti-black racism and Othering, highlighting the lived reality of being becoming and being positioned as a racialized subject. Building on critical race, post-colonial, everyday racism, and Foucauldian theories, I link my analysis of participants’ experiences to Australia’s history and the legacy of past racist policies and immigration practices, making the case of black African vulnerability, exclusion, marginalization, and disadvantage. The findings provide empirical lens and frameworks to understand black African immigration and experiences in Australia and contribute to growing scholarship on the diasporic black African experiences. By focusing on black Africans, the article shows how skin color, alongside race, combines to reveal how the participants’ experience broadens our understanding of black Africans incorporation, identification, and inclusion in White settler colonial and dominated societies. In order to better improve outcomes for black Africans and transform society, I argue for tackling systemic anti-black racism and Othering practices by pursuing policies and practices that promote racial equity and create a more just and socially inclusive multicultural society, where all benefit and feel a sense of belonging.
在这篇文章中,我讨论了一项对30名参与者进行的定性研究的结果,研究他们在反黑人种族主义和他者中的生活经历,突出了成为和被定位为种族化主体的生活现实。在批判种族、后殖民、日常种族主义和福柯理论的基础上,我将我对参与者经历的分析与澳大利亚的历史以及过去种族主义政策和移民实践的遗产联系起来,以非洲黑人的脆弱性、排斥、边缘化和劣势为例。这些发现为理解非洲黑人移民和在澳大利亚的经历提供了经验视角和框架,并有助于增加关于散居非洲黑人经历的学术研究。通过关注非洲黑人,这篇文章展示了肤色和种族如何结合在一起,揭示了参与者的经历如何拓宽了我们对非洲黑人在白人定居者殖民和主导社会中的融入、认同和包容的理解。为了更好地改善非洲黑人的结果并改变社会,我主张通过推行促进种族平等的政策和做法来解决系统性的反黑人种族主义和其他做法,并创造一个更加公正和社会包容性的多元文化社会,在这个社会中,所有人都受益并感到归属感。

ABSTRACT This paper studies the religious and spatial politics of contemporary Hindu nationalism through an examination of the construction of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya, India, and the Swaminarayan Mandir in Neasden, UK. Whereas the Neasden Temple is celebrated as a diasporic accomplishment that testifies to British multiculturalism, the Ayodhya temple has been mired by controversy and marred in violence that has spanned decades. Despite these differences, both temples have acquired their specific symbolic, visual and material salience through a global circulation of ideas, goods, peoples and aesthetics. I trace this circulation to show how these two temples serve to concretize and embody a specific historical narrative of ‘the Hindu nation’ through their shared architectural forms, as well as through the shared processes of their material construction. My argument is that the symbolic, visual and material relationships these temples instantiate across multiple ‘national’ locations can be read as territorializing mythic formations of ‘the Hindu nation’ as a global entity. The transnational crossings that secure the local specificities entailed in the construction of these temples demonstrate how contemporary formations of ‘globality’ are produced by, and in turn become the conditions of possibility for, the transformation of contemporary Hindu nationalism into a global phenomenon.
摘要本文通过考察印度阿约提亚的拉姆神庙和英国尼斯登的斯瓦米纳拉扬曼迪尔神庙的建造,研究了当代印度教民族主义的宗教和空间政治,阿约提亚神庙陷入了争议的泥潭,并在长达数十年的暴力事件中受损。尽管存在这些差异,但通过思想、商品、民族和美学的全球流通,这两座寺庙都获得了特定的象征性、视觉性和物质性。我追踪这一循环,以展示这两座寺庙是如何通过其共同的建筑形式以及共同的材料建造过程来具体化和体现“印度教民族”的特定历史叙事的。我的论点是,这些寺庙在多个“国家”地点所体现的象征性、视觉性和物质性关系可以被解读为“印度教国家”作为一个全球实体的领土神话形成。在这些寺庙的建设中,跨国穿越确保了当地的特殊性,这表明当代“全球性”的形成是如何由当代印度教民族主义转变为全球现象产生的,并反过来成为这种转变的可能条件。

Black Tax and coloniality – re-interpretation, emancipation, and alienation 黑税与殖民主义——重新解读、解放与异化

ABSTRACT This study explores the complex experiences of Black Tax in contemporary South Africa. It specifically seeks to understand whether Black Tax as a form of cultural re-interpretation of Ubuntu philosophy can be seen as a form of cultural emancipation or alienation. Black Tax is a colloquial term that describes experiences of family support in Southern Africa and thus in a highly unequal and formerly colonized context. By combining a theoretical lens of coloniality with omnivorousness, it draws out particular perspectives across the relationship between culture and power by drawing out three domains: ‘the traditional’, ‘the modern’, and ‘the navigation across’. The debate is informed by 26 essays written by South Africans on the subject matter. It highlights inequality as an internal conflict when navigating processes of emancipation and assimilation from African to Western values within the intimate space of family relationships. In that, it shows the lived reality and complexity when individuals negotiate their positionality, practice, and belonging. More broadly, it further proposes that contemporary political stances on capitalism and socialism remain colonial, thereby overlooking moral theories and philosophies from contexts of the global South.
摘要本研究探讨当代南非黑人税的复杂经历。它特别试图理解黑税作为乌班图哲学的一种文化重新解释形式是否可以被视为一种文化解放或异化形式。黑税是一个口语化的术语,描述了在南部非洲,因此在高度不平等和前殖民背景下的家庭支持经历。通过将殖民主义的理论视角与广泛性相结合,它通过“传统”、“现代”和“跨越”三个领域,勾勒出文化与权力之间关系的特殊视角。南非人就这一主题撰写的26篇文章为辩论提供了信息。它强调,在家庭关系的亲密空间中,在从非洲到西方价值观的解放和同化过程中,不平等是一种内部冲突。在这一点上,它表现了个体在协商自己的地位、实践和归属时的生活现实性和复杂性。更广泛地说,它进一步提出,当代对资本主义和社会主义的政治立场仍然是殖民主义的,从而忽视了来自全球南方背景的道德理论和哲学。
