Research on the Problematic Consciousness of Western Translation Theories

From sticking to certain western translating theory to combining western translating theories to eastern translating theories,the problematic consciousness keeps implicit on the way to seeking translating rules. However,when researching on the problematic consciousness of the western translation theories,the paper finds that the translation theories of the western linguistics aim to strengthen the western centrism thought;the translation theories of the western culture attempt to deconstruct the western centrism thought through translation. The ideology,time and region of the problems concerning translation lead to the distinctiveness of translation theories,reducing its general characteristics. As a result,the construction of the modern Chinese translation theories must be based on the present translation problems instead of adopting the western translation theories or combining the western and eastern translation theories.

从批判“封建文化”为主导,到肯定中华文明是“当代中国文化的根基”,中国共产党人的文化意识在新时代发生了历史性转变。在习近平文化思想的核心理论观点中,“文化自信”着重从精神层面阐述优秀传统文化作为中华民族“独特的精神标识”,不仅是中华民族区别于其他国家和民族的“根本特征”,而且是当今中国人文化自信的源泉;“历史自觉”则将论题扩展到中华民族不同于世界其他文明体的发展历程,强调中国多元一体的民族和文明格局、独特的制度创造对当今中国的影响。将巩固“文化主体性”作为文化自信的根本依托,进一步凸显了新时代中国共产党人对中华文明“大一统传统”在价值观念和社会体制层面的传承与转化。

以文化之名:民国时期政学两界对“中国式边疆”现代化的思考

民国时期政学两界对“边疆”的界定除了基于政治与地理意义外,更多考察其“文化”元素,普遍认为如不从“文化”着眼,无法道尽“边疆的涵义”。这是一种典型的“中国式边疆”,形成了“中国边疆”独特的“边疆性”,由此中国边政内涵也极为丰富。“边疆性”之形成,既然主要来自“文化”因素,那么边疆现代化的实质就是要消除“边疆性”,让其失去“文化上的意义”。所谓“文化”,包括物质文化和精神文化。消除“边疆性”并非抹杀文化,而是通过发展经济和增进认同,按李安宅的观点,就是要通过物质和精神的“区域分工”,也就是要实现边疆现代化及其与内地的一体化。

“文化遗产的自觉”与景观变迁——日本冲绳久米岛的人类学考察

【目的】通过追溯冲绳久米岛20世纪70—90年代的景观变迁,论述“文化遗产的自觉”及其对于景观的影响。【方法/过程】20世纪70年代以后,冲绳兴起一股观光开发热潮,红瓦顶住宅、石狮子、石敢当、御岳等作为代表冲绳特色的景观被当地村民大量建造。虽然这些特色景观的增加确实受到观光开发政策的影响,但仅从政治经济视角分析将无法把握久米岛景观变迁的本质。因此,运用景观人类学的视角与方法,探讨村民为何自发建造这些特色景观。具体而言,不只是借助图绘追溯物理景观的变迁,还通过田野调查探究景观同村民的话语、梦、信仰、社会关系、环境等的关联,进而充分理解村民介入景观营造的过程。【结果/结论】由此可见,在观光开发政策的影响之外,村民们还“自觉”红瓦顶住宅、御岳等为需要守护的“文化遗产”,并致力于相应的景观再生产。
