Academic Study of Religion in Universities, Southwest Nigeria： In Search of Social Identity/Relevance

Social theorists have engaged religion as a social agent and submitted that it has the capacity to foster positive and negative changes in the society. Milton Yinger, Emile Durkheim, and Karl Marx lead the pack among other sociologists. The need to therefore interrogate religion as an agent of social engineering cannot be overemphasized normatively and functionally. One of the implications of such engagement is that religion; study and practice need to respond to issues in the society. Basic challenges facing the Nigerian nation are issues of poverty, diseases, corruption, and illiteracy. However, in Nigerian universities, the situation posits that religion is studied with theological intentions based on the curriculum bequeathed by the missionaries that laid the foundation for the academic study of religion in Nigeria leading to exclusive and reductionist approaches to its study. There is also government policy that placed emphasis on science and management courses for development. The situation has led to reduction in students＇ enrolments for the study of religion in Nigerian universities. Therefore, this paper seeks explanations for the non-functional design（s） of the curriculum for the academic study of religion in universities, southwest of Nigeria. Descriptive and analytic methods were adopted in the study to pursue the thesis that the academic study of religion in Nigeria should be rebranded and repackaged to respond and interrogate social challenges/problems, such as the scourge of HIV/AIDS plaguing the society thereby recreating a new social identity and relevance for its study.

An Analysis of the Position of Chinese Translation Study

Since the Polysystem theory was brought in, domestic researchers have carried out many studies on the availability and shortcomings of the theory. Some scholars use it as the framework to make descriptive studies. Based on the Polysystem theory, this paper describes and analyzes the position of Chinese translation study in the polysystem of Chinese culture and the world 's transla?tion study. Although the position of both translation and translation study has ever changed over a certain period of time, Chinese translation study has maintained a peripheral position for a long time. It can learn from the development experience of western translation studies to improve the situation. What's more, it should not ignore the influence of power system and ideology system. And to carry out translation studies in China, especially cultural studies on translation can help to make China's translation studies more central.

以期刊作为方法:美国的中国学学术史变迁

中国学期刊是展示美国中国学领域科研成果的重要载体之一,为美国和全球的区域研究提供了重要的交流平台和思想资源。美国中国学期刊的发展反映了中美关系的冷暖亲疏,大致分为三个阶段:冷战前后的曲折起步;中美建交前后的繁荣发展;全球化时代的深化拓展。为了更好推进这一领域的研究,可以从系统论、谱系论、关系论、比较论四个方面寻找解决办法。以中国学期刊作为方法,考察其不同历史阶段所呈现的创刊理念、发展路径、学者活动以及学术影响,可以透视期刊视野中的中国学历史面貌与演进过程,了解美国文化软实力的建构方式,加强中美之间的文明互鉴与交流。

中国旅游管理学科的自主知识体系研究

在学习西方旅游学说的同时,我国旅游学界一直在尝试建构有中国特色的旅游管理知识体系。文章以中山大学旅游研究团队的集体研讨成果为基础,提出自主知识体系建设应以人类旅游活动为主要研究对象,并主张采用“旅游需要”“旅游响应”“旅游实践”和“旅游效应”等基本概念来解释旅游活动的过程、行动、关系与结果。通过分析“旅游需要—旅游响应”的矛盾运动规律,文章推导出“社会成员旅游需要的无限性”“社会响应个体旅游需要的能力有限性”和“社会响应个体旅游需要的态度有界性”等基本假设,并借此归纳出中国旅游管理学科建设的主要任务--化解“人民群众日益增长的旅游需要”与“社会对旅游需要的响应相对滞后”之间的矛盾。总的来说,旅游管理学科的自主知识体系建设应立足于中国式现代化发展的实践,摆脱西方旅游研究的传统经济分析范式,从而更好地服务于文化和旅游事业的高质量创新发展需求。
