The state question in Chinese popular cultural studies

Abstract

This note is an attempt to trace the change and continuity of leftist political policies, and to analyse why the Left generally, especially the Malay Left, has not been successful in Malaysian politics. It questions why the Malaysian Left was stafter the Second World War but slowly dissipated until it is almost crippled now. Other than examining the formation and the roles of the Malaysian Left and their struggles for independence, this note also sorts out the factors of the unsuccessful struggles to get wide Malay support for the Malay-dominated Malay Nationalist Party of Malaya (PKMM) and the Chinese-dominated Communist Party of Malaya (CPM).     

Modernising gender,civilising sex: perverse imaginary in the state feminist politics of Liu Yu‐hsiu

Abstract

The gender sexual politics of Liu Yu‐hsiu has been pivotal in the hegemonic ascendancy of Taiwan state feminism in recent years. Through an examination of Liu’s psychoanalytically mediated essays of cultural criticism, this article traces the contour of Liu’s sexual imaginary within the context of 1990s feminist and queer politics. Liu’s modernising project of gender equality, I argue, upholds heterosexual monogamy as a feminist ideal that seeks to purge all the masculine ills, including perversion and promiscuity. Meanwhile, queers and prostitutes come to be figured as the very negativity that must be repressed. Yet, like the Lacanian Real, they impinge on the symbolic order that Liu ordains as they thwart her desire to civilise sex.

市场环境对劳动力转移影响农户 技术效率具有调节效应吗——基于中国东、西部6省市抽样调查的实证检验

新劳动力迁移理论认为,在不同的市场环境下,要素流动对农业生产会产生不同的影响,劳动力转移的农业生产效应将存在差异.以水稻生产为例,利用对中国东部江、浙、粤和西部川、渝、黔六省市的抽样调查的农户数据,实证检验市场化水平对劳动力转移影响农户技术效率的调节效应,分析表明:劳动力转移带来的农业劳动力减少造成了农户水稻生产技术效率的损失,务工汇款并不能帮助农户改善水稻生产技术效率;市场化水平的提高没有改变务工汇款与农户技术效率的关系,但显著抑制了劳动力流失产生的消极影响.因此,市场环境的差别会导致劳动力转移效应的差异.各地政府应该致力于改善市场环境,提高市场化水平,促进农业生产效率提升.
