Marx’s Theory of World History Explained: Basic Connotations and Contemporary Context

Marx’s theory of world history is an important part of his materialist conception of history(i.e., historical materialism). Marx and Engels summarized the evolution of social history and the laws behind it based on their observations and analyses of human activities and their material conditions in real life and raised the realistic possibility of “transformation of history into world history” in the future. From the Marxist perspective of world history, we attempt to catch a glimpse of his profound, scientific criticism of capitalism and understand the contemporaneity and supercontemporaneity of Marxism. Also, we try to perceive new issues of our time and develop a new theory grounded in the scientific, rational, and universal insights from Marxism. The study of Marx’s theory of world history and criticism of capitalism can help understand today’s major issues such as globalization and anti-globalization. In short, Marx’s theory of world history is of profound theoretical and practical significance.

Removing the Historical Town of Most： Technocratic and Humanistic Thought in the Practice of State Socialism

The pushing through of the idea to destroy the historical town of Most and to build a modem town of the same name nearby, as well as the carrying out of this idea, took place in Northern Bohemia between 1960 and 1980. The immediate cause and chief argument for implementing the whole project was the fact that the old town was located on large supplies of lignite （brown coal）. On the basis of the archival research of this ＂great experiment＂, substantial theses and questions can be formulated. Primarily, the justification of the destruction of a Medieval town and a construction of a new urbane centre was dominated （rather than by communist utopia） by economic and technocratic thought. It was the logics of quantitative calculation, and financial gains and losses, which enforced the plan and shaped the practice of destruction and construction. In this context, the role of the humanistic socialist discourse of justice and good life has to be inquired. This traditional thought was used to back up the technocratic decision as well as to articulate intellectual critique of the whole project. It is especially this ambivalent relationship between the two modernist discourses （the technocratic and humanistic thought）, which constitutes the core of this paper.

Memory Recently Retold： The Chinese Historical Writing of the Second Sino-Japanese War and World War II

Memories regarding the history of the Second Sino-Japanese War （1931-1945） and World War il （1939-1945） have always been refreshed in the minds of contemporaries through the retelling of ＂historical war stories＂ in various forms including books, posters, films and other media presentations. However, these retellings are often criticised by some academics as distortion of historical facts. This is because many of the present generation of readers and audiences were not even born at the time the events happened. Thus, ＂historical facts＂ of this era are, in reality, very vague in people＇s minds and their ＂facts＂ are often simply a construction of frequently retold ＂historical war stories＂ mixed with imagination. This article will argue that even immediately after the end of both wars in 1945, fresh history memory was already distorted, with China being the main victim. Following the end of World War II, there was an extensive publication of books and periodicals about the war. However, through varied interpretations of primary sources and use of visual materials in different ways, various positions were created to suit specific needs for justification of China＇s desire to be part of the camp of world powers after 1945. Similar diverse positions were also used to make political arguments criticising both the Axis and Allied Powers for working toward different political ends.

Significance of Chinese Viewing Themselves as Equals of Any Other in the World

A resurgent China contributes to the world. General Secretary Xi Jinping attaches great importance to the issues of the times and analyzes the development direction of humankind from the perspective and method of Marxism. Further, he indicates that we must base ourselves on the overall strategy of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and the significant changes occurring in the world that have not been seen in a century and makes a major judgment that the timing and international situation are favorable to China. Inevitably, Chinese now view themselves as equals of any other in the world, reflecting a historic change in the relations between China and the remaining world. In other words, no country can dictate terms to China. Building a powerful modern socialist country is a great goal set by the Communist Party of China(CPC). To build a great country and achieve a great cause, we must go through enormous struggle. Xi Jinping Thought on Diplomacy reflects on the issues of our times. Answering the questions and guiding the changes of our times, Xi Jinping Thought on Diplomacy is of great significance. Moreover, the CPC has remained true to socialism, and socialism has proved its worth to China.

中国翻译理论史研究:“一体双层”模式建构

当理论研究发展到一定阶段,就需要进行必要的学术史梳理,以便回望来路,展望去路。近年来,中国翻译理论史研究正成为国内译学界研究的热点之一,以应对翻译学学科进一步发展的诉求。但与当前欣欣向荣的翻译史研究相比,国内的翻译理论史研究还较为薄弱。本研究聚焦中国翻译理论史研究模式的元思考,尝试以翻译理论史的4个要素——译论、翻译实践、译论者和社会为构成性的“一体”,从内层——心理层和外层——社会层以及相对应的两个跨学科视角——发生认识论和知识社会学作为阐释性的“双层”,建构一个研究和撰写中国翻译理论史的“一体双层”模式,并对该模式进行宏观与微观相结合的理论阐发和举例论证,最后对中国翻译理论史研究提出几点建议,特别是提出建立一个译学分支学科——“译论思想史”的设想。本研究希望能为中国翻译理论史的研究和撰写提供研究模式方面的可能途径,助力中国翻译理论史研究向纵深发展。

理性作为人的尊严:论康德意义上的教育必然是世界公民教育

在康德于1874年发表的《世界公民视野下的普遍历史观》中,理性被康德视为人类的独特禀赋和人类尊严的体现,理性是人类普遍历史发展的线索和目的。在普遍历史进程中,理性是人格发展的目标,并进一步在国家和世界层面不断扩张,最终完成“普遍的世界公民”的自由使用理性的这一“大自然的隐蔽计划”。这一计划的实现有赖于理性的公共使用、完善公民宪法的保障和各国致力于永久和平的多重努力。在这种世界公民的历史哲学视野下,内嵌入人类这一理性/尊严扩张进程的教育进程,必然是世界主义的;作为理性存在者的人的教育,必然是世界公民的教育。对于今天日益对抗、分裂和阵营划分的世界危机,发展作为永恒的高阶能力的理性或批判性思维,应该成为公民教育的基本要素,把对永久和平的期待转变为一种永久的理性对话,来考察全球议题,寻求全球共识,展现公民勇气,重建和推动人类共同体的持续繁荣。

关于区域国别学发展的一些看法:世界史学科的视角

区域国别研究在中国是一个新的交叉学科,是中国国力增强的产物,也是世界主导性大国的学术标配。中国的区域国别研究应该为中国的现代化目标服务,应该把深入研究他国的政治、经济、历史、文化等作为主要任务,同时利用好现有的学科设置,充分发挥世界史、国际关系、外语类等涉外学科的优势,加强复合型人才培养,为中国的崛起发挥应有的作用。

马克思世界历史理论与新文化生命体建构

习近平文化思想中提出了“新的文化生命体”这一重大原创性概念,在此基础上提出建设中华民族现代文明的文化建设使命。新的文化生命体的诞生是中国近代遭遇西方殖民入侵后,中华民族文化主体性“自我免疫”的集中体现。马克思主义“魂脉”和中华优秀传统文化“根脉”及其在革命、建设、改革实践中形成的“两个结合”,是新的文化生命体的“生命之源”。从马克思的世界历史理论的视角看,中华民族新的文化生命体不仅是“中华民族”的文化生命体,同时也是“世界历史”意义上的文化生命体,它通过引领人类文明新形态、弘扬全人类共同价值以及推动构建人类命运共同体,获得了它的世界历史定向。

全球音乐史研究的视野、方法与叙事——ICTMD全球音乐史研究分会的成立背景与面临的挑战

全球(音乐)史迄今为止并非一个定义明确的领域,但将全球理解为研究地方、区域或国家与世界关系的视角于当下(民族)音乐学并不陌生。“世界音乐”研究在世界观和历史观的双重转向中重新审视时间与空间的断裂,音乐理论家寻找某种足以“统摄”全球音乐的分析工具,民族音乐学家重省“比较音乐学”,提出“多线程历史”“全球音乐圈”和“后欧洲思维”的设想。无论是构拟跨文化的共性与对话,还是从人类行动方案和地方术语中探讨人类音乐文化的差异与相互关联,或是以“微观历史”和“路”的流动性探索“全球网络”的音乐史,力图“去中心”的“全球史”都不应止于反霸权的结论或目的。如何通过民族志的专门知识将历史的线索落在实处?如何在史志互向中探索空间、时间、行动者和结构的“联通性”?文章讨论了全球音乐史写作的驱动力与问题,并展望文明互鉴意义上的全球音乐史。
