Inarticulateness, Power and Ethnic identity On Jorge Luis Borges＇ The Gospel According to Mark

This paper attempts to focus on Jorge Luis Borges’ short story The Gospel according To Mark. Borges, an Argentina short storywriter and translator, whose motherland is under long-term western colonization, identifi es himself unconsciously with the western culture. Hisworks mostly touch upon the themes of religion and philosophy. Along with post-colonialism theory’s springing up, critics began to analyze hisworks from the post-colonial perspective. The author thinks that this short story with religious implication parallels to the cultural invasion in theperiod of colonization, from powerful culture to weaker one. The author, thus, aims to use Michael Foucault’s viewpoints concerning power andknowledge to probe into the western cultural hegemony and ideological invasion refl ected in this story. Besides, the loss and construction of theethnic identity of the colonized will be discussed in details.

“We” and “They”: On Gesar Culture and Ethnic Boundaries of Rebgong Khre-Tse Sde-Bzhi

The Gesar Epic is not only a literary work and cultural icon of the Tibetan people but a symbol of maintaining ethnic boundaries.In particular,in the community mixed with both Hor and Tibetan residents,the cultural memory of Gesar is considered as one of the greatest distinguishing factors to tell the Self Group from the Other-Group.Khre-Tse Sde-Bzhi(referring to the four villages),a marginal group in Tibetan-inhabited area of Rebgong,is called Hor or DorDo by local Tibetans.When it comes to ethnic identification,the ethnic group is commonly recognized as Tu ethnicity.In fact,in the community of Khre-Tse Sde-Bzhi,local residents are distinguished by whether they are Hor(a branch of Mongolian language family)or Bod(Tibetan);moreover,there remains a relatively obvious sense of ethnic identity.And yet,in addition to the dominant characteristics of local languages,it is the Gesar culture that has become one of the main features to differentiate between Bod and Hor.More importantly,people of Bod and Hor identify themselves by whether the others tell the complete version of the Gesar Epic or whether they have the authentic King Gesar enshrined,in order to determine their cultural identity.

A Study on the Control and Guidance Strategy of the Diaolou Style Building of Qiang People Based on Behavioral Analysis

Diaolou style building is an important residential building of Qiang people. In recent years, Qiang people’s own cultural identities and behavioral awareness have transformed. Due to the lack of attention to the inheritance of original architectural style and the absence of a detailed scientific protection of the landscape, the architectural style of Diaolou style building gradually loses its vitality. It is difficult to control and guide it effectively. And tourism economy which enjoys a direct link with the architecture has been confined to further development. From the perspective of behavioral science, this study innovatively analyzes the Diaolou style building of Qiang people by combining the methodology of Lew in metal of behavior and Analytic Hierarchy Process. Firstly, 32 symbols are chosen as Diaolou architectural style factors from the selection of more than 100 Diaolou architectural decorative symbols. Then by measuring their weight coefficients through the Analytic Hierarchy Process, eight main style factors have been screened out. After field research, we analyze the actual use of the style factors of the six typical villages such as Gina. On this basis, this paper analyzes the behavioral factors of Diaolou style building of Qiang people, deconstructs its use and puts forward a concept which takes style control as a guidance and behavior guidance as a strategy to protect and develop Diaolou style building of Qiang people. It is also proposed that a control and guidance strategy of inheritance and development of Qiang Diaolou architectural style, including master the influencing factors as a whole, follow the principle of people-oriented, compound function, dynamic development and highlighting national aesthetics, based on its style system, and grasp the trend of architectural style, etc. The study provides an effective guarantee for the further development of rural tourism, and a necessary theoretical and technical guidance for the government to adopt targeted steps.

The Bamboos of Blekinge： The Writing of Cultures in Swedish Proletarian Fiction

The national identity of the source culture often constitutes an important hermeneutic flame fi＇om which a translated text is understood. At the same time, literary texts themselves sometimes have a tendency to resist cultural narratives and stereotypical ideas of a certain nation. This article explores how such a resistance is made in the English translations of four Swedish novels from the 1930s. These novels are all central texts in the history of Swedish literature, as they form the very basis of a literary current that had a huge impact on the development of the Swedish welfare state--proletarian fiction. In the translations of Harry Martinson＇s, Moa Martinson＇s, Eyvind Johnson＇s, and Ivar Lo-Johansson＇s breakthrough novels, the Anglophone target reader is faced with different kinds of disruptions of the Swedish national identity. Some of these disturb the conception of Sweden as a unified cultural space; others resist the idea of Sweden as a distinct cultural space. There is, however, no general rule to these disruptions： All four novels have their own, specific way of creating narrative resistance.

A 3-D morphological approach on spatial form and cultural identity of ethnic mountain settlements:Case from Guizhou,China

Ethnic mountain settlements are living heritage of varied vernacular cultures.The preservation of both the built form and the intangible socio-cultural associations with them are global concern in process of urbanization,and in the notion of sustainable development.However,there is a lack of multi-dimensional and cross-cultural quantitative research in settlement morphology,making it difficult to guide practice effectively.Therefore,this study focuses on exploring an automatic or semi-automatic quantification and classification method for the morphological identity of ethnic mountain settlements.We introduce and combine 3-D morphological indicators with existing 2-D indicators to build and test three different sets of indication systems for semi-automatic classification for the settlements’ethnic attribute basing on spatial morphology.Taking the Miao,Dong,and Tunpu(Han)ethnic settlements in Guizhou province,southwest China as research samples,we applied factor analysis and hierarchical clustering methods to compare the classification accuracy under the three systems using data from topographic map,field investigation map,satellite imageries,and ethnography or local chronicle.The results showed that,the 3-D indication system has succeeded in semi-automatic quantification and classification of settlement morphology and ethnic identity by greatly increasing the classification accuracy to 96.30%,which is a huge improvement compared with the basic 2-D indication system(42.59%)and the advanced 2-D indication system(61.11%).The settlement samples are further divided into two sub-types with significant morphological differences in each major ethnic category under the 3-D indication system.We then discussed the potential improvement and future large-scale application of this method with the help of machine learning and other smart techniques.We hope to provide a comprehensive quantitative perspective and a more scientific reference for the future preservation and sustainable development of the massive and diverse vernacular heritages across the world.

National Identity in Conflict： The Reconstruction of King Ly Thai To on Vietnamese Screen

Born as Ly Cong Uan, Ly Thai To is the first king of the Ly Dynasty. The most important contribution of Ly Thai To in Vietnamese history is to move the capital from Hoa Lu to Dai La, and rename it as Thang Long （Ascending Dragon） in 1010. Nowadays, it is known as Hanoi. Ly Thai To promoted Buddhism, and reduced the centuries-old influence of Confucianism in the kingdom. The growth and prevalence of Buddhism brought about a long period of peace, where Buddhist literature consequently flourished with seminal achievements. Due to King Ly Thai To＇s enormous contributions, the Vietnamese have created several legends and anecdotes to mystify his life. Thus, although a historical figure, his life remains a mystery and controversy. In 2010, Hanoi celebrated the 1000th anniversary of Thang Long. On this occasion, Vietnamese historical films about Ly Cong Uan were produced. This created intriguing variations within historical facts, legends, and on-screen stories. This paper will explore the reconstruction of Ly Cong Uan＇s life from an adaptation studies perspective through four historical films： Legend of the Capital Relocation （Huyen su thien do）, Thang Long Aspiration （Khat vong Thang Long）, Ly Cong Uan The Road to Thang Long Citadel （Ly Cong Uan： Dtrong toi thanh Thang Long）, Child of the Dragon （Ngtroi con cua Rong）. This research also wants to clarify the issues of national identity, nationalism, and cultural interaction reflected through the representations of Ly Thai To in those cinematic products

Lusitan Identity Paradoxes Revealed by Fado Songs

This paper briefly presents the methods and the results of the investigation conducted within the doctoral study. The goal is to investigate the phenomenon of fado songs in the context of cultural transformations that take place in the uniting Europe. During the investigation, we tried to verify the problem of national and cultural identity of the Portuguese and their attitude towards ethno-cultural auto-identification in fado. According to the research results, the Portuguese are profoundly conscious of the relation between fado and their national and cultural identity. The results show that the Portuguese also consider the songs so strongly tied to their own nation, history, and places in Portugal, that this makes impossible for the foreigners to understand the message （even though some listeners claim, that they ＂feel＂ fado, though not being able to understand the lyrics）. The research results proved that the Portuguese consider fado as a carrier of their identity, or even ＂Portuguese soul＂.

From Home Food to Macanese Cuisine？ Historical Development, Tourist Branding and Cultural Identity

Food, cooking, and food-making places play a primordial role in the formation of cultural identity and community building. Using the example of Macanese food in Macao Special Administrative Region, this article discusses the transformation of Macanese food from everyday home food to the current status of cuisine in present-day Macanese society through the analysis of the perception of consumers and producers of Macanese food. The findings demonstrate the friction between Macanese food crafted by Macanese as part of an emergent ＂authentic＂ marker of Macanese identity and the commercial branding of Macanese food for tourist purposes.

论中国式现代化的文化道路问题——国家文化结构视野下由文化认同建构国家认同的逻辑

中国式现代化提出了当代中国国家建构的重大命题,在五千多年文明古国的笼统共识之下,深厚文化传统如何影响或制约国家建构的机制与路径一直没有得到清晰的揭示。国家文化结构理论表明,在中国文化认同型国家结构中,基于长期历史进程中形成的文化认同与国家认同具有天然联系,国家文化议程与国家政治议程纽结在一起,造成了国家建构中从文化认同到国家认同的“路径锁定”。进入近代,发端于西方资本主义的全球化进程将中国这样一个以历史文化传统为根基的文化共同体强行塞进现代民族国家的“强迫性框架”之中,极大弱化了中国经由文化认同建构国家认同的传统纽带,导致了从传统文化危机到国家认同危机的链式反映,动摇了国家结构的稳定性,其影响深广。通过梳理西方民族认同型国家与中国文化认同型国家之间的差异,阐述历史长周期内中国作为文化认同型国家的国家建构逻辑与转型困境,深入揭示出文化认同型国家的国家属性与形态特征,进而阐明全球化视野下以文化认同统筹民族认同和宗教认同的中国特色的国家建构路径,从中西方现代化启动的初始文化条件差异上阐明了中国式现代化道路不同于西方的特殊内涵和根本特征,更加深入地认识“推进中国式现代化作为最大的政治”的深刻内涵,并建构中国式现代化道路的独特理论逻辑。

秦汉时期统一多民族国家语境下的“中国”认同

在统一多民族国家的政治环境和“天下一家”语境下,四裔归属意识的不断增强,是秦汉时期的“中国”认同获得空前发展的根本机制。郡县制管理体制机制下东西南北各地、各族居民先后被“编户化”而统称为“秦人”和“汉人”,意味着在秦汉王朝疆域版图之内各族居民在共同的政治、经济、文化政策下,相互认同而实现的空前民族统一,体现出当时东西南北各族对以秦汉王朝为代表的“中国”,在政治、经济、文化等维度下的全方位认同。这是中国古代国家形态、民族内涵及其关系格局发展过程中出现的一次具有里程碑意义的重大转机,这种直接以统一帝国疆域划定的规模空前的统一民族共同体的出现,对于后世中华民族共同体意识的凝聚,具有重要的奠基意义。

大一统历史建构与中华民族共同体的早期凝聚

“大一统”历史观是两汉王朝的官方历史哲学,其核心要义是王权至上基础上的国家统一、天下一家。汉代的主流思想家和历史家出于维护王朝大一统的政治立场,在其历史叙事体系中,建构了纵向圣王一脉相袭,横向华夷共祖同源的“大一统”历史发展演进模式,作为汉朝统一多民族国家共同体确认其文化身份的历史依据,同时建构了华夷同源、“天下一家”、“四海归一”的大一统历史记忆,将华夷各族整合成为一个世代相继、绵延不断的“文化血缘”共同体,籍以与汉朝统一多民族国家大一统政治时局相呼应。通过这样的人为建构,赋予汉帝国绍继周、殷而为新王的正统性与权威性,从而为中华民族共同体的早期孕育,打下了坚实的理论基础,成为中华民族凝聚力的重要精神动力源泉。

民族地区中学生中华民族认同与生活满意度的关系:积极心理资本的中介作用

中华民族认同既是铸牢中华民族共同体意识的基石,也是促进个体福祉的关键因素。为探索民族地区中学生中华民族认同的特点,中华民族认同与生活满意度的关系及其作用机制,本研究采用《中华民族认同量表》《积极心理资本量表》《生活满意度量表》,通过整群抽样的方法对四川省民族地区三所中学1232名中学生施测。结果表明:民族地区中学生的中华民族认同总体较高,高中生的认同水平显著高于初中生;中华民族认同对民族地区中学生的生活满意度有显著正向预测作用,积极心理资本在二者关系间起部分中介作用,中介效应占比46.15%。可见,中华民族认同不仅能直接改善民族地区中学生的生活满意度,还可以通过提升积极心理资本间接影响民族地区中学生的生活满意度,强化中华民族认同为促进民族地区学生整体福祉铺设了坚实的心理与文化基础。

基于游客视角的旅游促进“三交”机理研究

旅游提供了各民族接触、了解、互动的场域,但其如何促进“三交”的内在机理还未明确。基于认知-情感-意动理论,从游客视角探索旅游促进“三交”的机理,发现:游客旅游体验、旅游满意度、旅游认同、“三交”行为具象共同构成了旅游促进“三交”的机制模型,其中,旅游满意度、旅游认同(中华民族共同体认同、地方认同)在这其中起链式中介作用。旅游促进“三交”中要平衡营利性与公益性、融合性的关系,协调求异性与共同性、统一性的关系,统筹推进体验性与互嵌性。基于游客视角,可以从拓展旅游时空、提升游客体验、强化国家感知等方面来铸牢中华民族共同体意识。

博物馆旅游对大学生国家认同的影响研究

博物馆是推动文旅深度融合的重要载体,博物馆旅游是增强青年文化自信和国家认同的重要路径。该文收集654份高校大学生问卷调查数据,基于刺激-机体-反应理论探讨博物馆旅游动机、旅游满意度、文化认同和国家认同之间的关系,并利用结构方程模型进行假设检验。研究发现:博物馆休闲、学习和情感动机均对旅游满意度有显著直接影响,旅游满意度对文化认同有显著直接影响,同时休闲动机和学习动机能直接影响文化认同,文化认同在学习动机和国家认同之间发挥中介作用;博物馆旅游通过“旅游动机-旅游满意度-文化认同-国家认同”的链式结构对大学生的心理产生显著影响。该研究厘清了大学生在博物馆情境中强化国家认同的心理路径,凸显了旅游满意度与文化认同在博物馆建构青年群体国家认同中的作用,对其坚定文化自信、培养爱国情怀具有重要意义。
