Muslim Identity in Contemporary China Through the Lens of Chinese Nationalism

This article focuses on the concept of Chinese nationalism as a building and unifying tool of the nation.The Uyghurs are taken as a Muslim representative ethnic group in China as its forced Sinicization is the focus of global discussion,and the contention between the Uyghurs and the China state has become an international problem and a political headache for Beijing.This primarily Muslim group is one of the most numerous ethnic minorities in China,and has been affected by the assimilation policies adopted by the Chinese authorities with the purpose of strengthening the Chinese nation-state.The rise of national spirit in Chinese youth is unquestionable.Nation building has succeeded in almost all provinces.Only in a few of them does the state have to launch special educational and ideological programs,and sometimes resort to coercion to be successful.The aim of this article is to demonstrate that the Chinese nation building project is not complete despite the great efforts of the authorities.

Remaking“Women”and Contemporary Chinese Feminism——Based on The Question of Women in Chinese Feminism

The Question of Women in Chinese Feminism gives an historical retrospective of China in the past 100 years with a 20th century global perspective,probes about in-depth and multi-level Chinese women and contemporary social problems by tracing the evolution of the left-wing ideological context,and elaborates on the remaking of“women”creatively by virtue of the historical heritage of socialism.It is of great significance in responding to new changes and new issues taking place in contemporary Chinese feminism.For instance,in today’s China,while analyzing gender equality,people have to focus not only on the relationship between the sexes,but on development within women’s groups and on relations among class/strata also.Therefore,remaking“women”and how to remake“women”,in the Chinese context today,are important issues to feminists,as they will tell,to a certain extent,if gender studies can effectively respond to social issues in contemporary China.

Human Rights Implications of the Civil Code of the People's Republic of China

Putting the people first in human rights protection is the most distinctive feature of the outlook on human rights in contemporary China. The codification of the Civil Code of the People’s Republic of China reflects the people’s legislation for themselves, which is guided by the principle of putting the people first in its external system and internal values. Functionally, the Civil Code of the People’s Republic of China reflects the obligation of the country to protect human rights, constructs the framework relationship between the country and individual people, and perfects the mechanism for human rights protection. The continuous expansion of the types, contents, and functions of civil rights in the Civil Code of the People’s Republic of China is required by the broad scope of human rights, with an aim to realize a happy life for the people, the most important human rights, and protect people’s personal rights, property rights, and right to dignity through specific rules. The universal sharing of human rights requires the universality of the subjects of civil rights. The equal sharing of human rights requires the equality of forms of civil rights protection. Meanwhile, it further requires the substantive equality of civil rights protection. Attention is paid to protecting the rights and interests of specific groups in external and embedded ways.

Recontextualizing Constructive Journalism in Contemporary China:A Comparative and Intercultural Perspective

By adopting a scholarly perspective on comparative journalism and intercultural communication,the present study delineates the conceptual common ground in terms of defining constructive journalism(CJ)and lays out the theoretical foundation for further discussion of this practical recontextualization in China’s social and cultural contexts.The indigenous tradition of"public opinion surveillance"(POS)in China is traced out in comparison with the experiment of CJ and its derivatives like public/civic journalism in Western countries.In spite of different news philosophies and media eco-systems,promoting social reform and serving the people or the public constitute the common goals for both Chinese and Western journalists and media professionals.Notably,exploring the theoretical validity and practical applications of CJ and POS would provide a feasible entry point to the cross-cultural dialogue between the East and the West about news media innovation.

Buried Alive in History： Poetics, Politics and Ethics of Time in Startling by Each Step （Bubu jingxin） and Other Chinese Time-Travel Historical Romances

The dawn of the new millennium witnessed the rise of Internet literature in China. Time-travel historical romances （chuanyue lishi xiaoshuo） became one of the most prominent genres produced and circulated online. At the heart of each story lies a fictitious hero who goes back in time to witness, facilitate, delay or alter a particular historical incident or series of historical events. Focusing on temporal poetics, politics and ethics in Tong Hua＇s Startling by Each Step （Bubu ]ingxin） and its TV and film adaptations, whilst also drawing upon a number of other well-acclaimed time-travel historical romances, this paper builds a threefold argument. Firstly, I argue that the aesthetic fascination of this genre mainly consists in its dramatization of the temporal clash between imperial and modern zeitgeists, interweaving the traditional device of dreams to deal with the Lacanian Real; secondly, although the immense popularity of the time-travel motif evinces a fascination with the fast pace of the digital age, Startling by Each Step tempers that trend by slowing things down and suggesting a yearning for the individual＇s temporal sovereignty; finally, the causal loop innate in this genre necessitates a transgression of historical linearity which often leads to unintended catastrophes and results in a prevailing sense of historical determinism. However, in Startling by Each Step a Heidegger-like resolute struggle for finite freedom within time delivers from the recognition of one＇s fateful destiny.
