刍议全球地域化语境下的亚洲主义

Asianism in the Context of Glocalization

日本人的思维方式里有一种类似于"两级折中"的二律背反倾向。在日本人的近代亚洲认识上也同理可证。直至"九一八"事变爆发前夕,在如何对抗西方列强的亚洲侵略这点上,知识精英、政治家乃至普通国民,他们的认知基本上是一致的,即应该摄取西方先进的科技文化、政治制度,殖产兴业、文明开化、富国强兵,以跻身于世界强国之林。然而,在对待周边各国或地区的问题上,日本人的姿态就绝非相同矣!置言之,从现代性完成论的角度来看,恰成对蹠的两种声音同步存在。若是套用二分法将它们加以对比的话,可以归结为"脱亚论"与"亚洲一体论"这一对截然对立的言说方式。

There is an antithetical mode of thinking that has been flowing in the Japanese blood, as is reflected in the Japanese understanding of modern Asia. Until the outbreak of the September 18 Incident, there had been a general consensus among Japan＇s intellectual elites, politicians and even ordinary citizens over how to counter the aggressive expansion to Asia by Western powers, that is, adoption of advanced science, and culture and political systems of the West, ＂industrialization, civilization and enlightenment, and enriching the nation and strengthening the army＂ in order to be among the world＇s powers. However, the Japanese position is totally different when it comes to how they treat their Asian neighbors. Seen from the standpoint of completion of modernity, two diametrically different voices coexist, namely the dualistic concepts of de-Asianization and ＂Asia as one＂.
