Postcolonialism Revisited： Representations of the Subaltern in Fadia Faqir＇s Pillars of Salt

Postcolonial theory is a well-established critical approach that addresses issues such as the quest for identity, the significance of land, homelessness, resistance, and the encounter between the colonized and the colonizers. This paper examines the postcolonial elements utilized by the Anglo-Jordanian novelist Fadia Faqir in her novel Pillars of Salt. It discusses the novel＇s themes and techniques associated with postcolonialism as a literary theory and as a critical approach. Being a postcolonial text, the novel shows the writer＇s attempt at writing back in response to the colonial past with its power structures and social hierarchies. Thematically, the novel is analyzed with special reference to such topics as the subaltern, Anglo-Jordanian ties, language, othemess, and identity. The paper also traces the continuity of postcolonial discourse in Faqir＇s novel and gives a short survey of the historical events that provide the background to the main events in this essentially postcolonial work.

中国非正式金融制度演化探析

非正式金融制度作为我国金融制度中不可分割的重要组成部分,是经济主体间基于自身权力大小博弈的结果。从权力博弈的视角出发对我国非正式金融制度的演化路径进行分析可知,非正式金融制度诞生于原始借贷博弈,并随着博弈主体的权力结构变化而不断演化,特别是社会关系权力对其演化有重要影响;但非正式金融制度的"隐蔽性和风险性"不利于政府安全,政府权力的介入改变了非正式金融制度的演化方向,而政府与非正式金融主体间的力量对比决定着非正式金融制度的演化路径。基于此,政府应合理适度监管,引导非正式金融制度创新步入兼具效率与安全的演化路径。
