Switched between Britain and China, Hong Kong has never fully owned an independent regime, orthodoxy, discourse power and so on. If we compare father-son relationships to the process of building one＇s own subjectivity, then, the representation of father absence in Hong Kong films would reflect Hong Kong＇s social and political changes. Through the analysis of 97 films, such as Wong Kar Wei＇s Days of Being Wild, Fruit Chan＇s ＂97 trilogy＂, lnfernalAffairs series, Johnnie To＇s ＂Election series＂, this paper studies the meaning of father absence in pre- and post-97 Hong Kong films, which can be summarized as： Father Absence, Surrogate Fathers and Patricide.展开更多

This paper examines the land question as one of the challenges that the White Fathers encountered in their attempt to evangelize communities in Western Tanzania. I argue that the land question remained throughout the late-colonial period one of the unresolved issues, and at some mission stations, impeded the activities of the White Fathers and C.M.S. missionaries. This paper relies on archival documents first, to examine the land question and White Fathers-C.M.S. relations in Buha from 1934 to 1959. Second, I intend to demonstrate the fact that land issues remained at the heart of the missionary enterprise in Buha. Both Catholic and Anglican missionaries were determined to have more mission plots for medical, education and religious purposes.展开更多

In the novel, she describes a mixed tribe with both African and Indian ancestry. Through the mundo tribe with African features, she expresses her thoughts of Afracentrism. First of all, Alice Walker holds that African Americans should cherish the traditional African indigenous religion-animism, for it promotes equality and interrelateness among things. Furthermore, through Mundo people＇s cultural activities of making pots and their initiation songs, she intends to express such a womanist idea that survival and wholeness of entire race derives from that of each race, so those indigenous people who have been overrun by the powerful and wealthy western world are supposed to forgive the westerners＇ wrong doings, for only love can guide the entire race to achieve survival and wholeness.展开更多
