武舞缘起的人类学假设院中国武戏程式语境下的美洲印第安俳舞（Pow-wow）仪式

采用文献资料法和田野调查法对中国武戏表演程式与美国印第安人的俳舞（Pow-wow）仪式之间的文化渊源进行探究。结果发现印第安俳舞仪式从肢体动作编排到化妆服饰均与中国武戏在表演程式的形态上存在相似关联,主要体现为行当分类、龙套仪式以及行头装饰等。分析认为,中国武戏中的程式表演并非随剧情需要而人为地临时起意任意设计,而极有可能因袭了人类原始部落时代的武舞表演仪式,在历代的传承与发展中不断精致化。结论指出,中国武戏表演程式充分体现了与人类远古武舞仪式之间的微妙渊源,并自觉延续构建了以文化象征主义为特征的东方演艺范式体系。     

On not being able to read or speak Malayalam: language and region in Kerala

Abstract

This paper attempts to read aspects of language, history, and literariness historically from the perspective of both Brazil and Kerala. It is also an attempt to compare two very distinct places from within a framework centred on the South. Initially, region and nation are discussed, as well as modernity and development, and the issue of thinking South–South connections from an anthropological perspective. Next, the matter of the complex connected histories of Kerala within the Indian Ocean is mentioned, including Portuguese colonial history. The image and influence of Latin America in Kerala is briefly brought up, especially in what concerns literary influence. There follows an extended discussion of issues of literacy and the rise of the novel in Kerala as well as the historical intricacies of the construction of Malayalam as a modern medium. A contrast with the literary construction of modernity in Brazil is made, and the importance of English in Kerala is accordingly highlighted as well as the issue of the coloniality of the Portuguese within Brazil's complex creolized history. An analysis of the pioneering novel of Chandumenon is offered, and a comparison with a novel in Brazil is subsequently sketched. The different historical contexts of nineteenth century Brazil and Kerala are stressed. The close interrelatedness between issues of language, nation, and region is emphasised as well as the internal complexities of modernity in both regions.     

Extending the Bounds of Race and Racism: Indigenous Women and the Persistence of the Black–White Paradigm of Race

In this article, I illustrate how the dominant Black–White binary paradigm of race in the United States situates Indigenous women as either racialized Others or White Others in the context of a predominantly White university. Race and racism are thus salient in the lives of Indigenous students in multiple and complex ways—ways which are rarely elaborated upon in the current research literature. Angelina E.

“被”族新词的产生机制与社会文化心理探析

近几年,许多非传统用法的＂被＂族新词大量涌现。部分＂被＂族新词产生了新用法,如受事主语被强制、受事主语被欺骗、受事主语被＂娱乐＂等。这些＂被＂族新词的涌现与流行,与语言的求新机制、类推机制、经济机制等语言机制以及与公众渴望参与舆论和诉求表达的心理、公众渴望了解真相和追求真实的心理、公众渴望个体权利实现最大化的心理、公众渴望生活娱乐化和幽默化的心理等息息相关。     

试论印度绿色革命中政府的关键作用

20世纪60年代中期,印度政府开始推行的绿色革命战略对印度的农业发展和现代化进程影响重大。在这一过程中,印度政府发挥了关键作用,主要表现在努力提高农业生产新技术、确保资金投入、致力水利建设、扩大灌溉面积、扶持现代农场发展、保障粮农利益等方面;其特点为农业新技术是中心、资金投入是关键、水利建设是保障、现代农场发展是重点。     

印楝引种栽培试验初报

对从印度、泰国、缅甸等国家引入的不同地理种源的印楝品种,在元江干热河谷区进行育苗、造林技术试验研究,从各种源苗木,幼树的生长发育及开花结实等物候变化进行观察,并对种子产量、品质进行测定分析的结果看,印楝对元江以及我省干热河谷区域内的生态环境非常适应,表明在我省干热河谷区域内大规模发展印楝生产是可行的.     

A Case Study in Indigenous Classification: Revisiting and Reviving the Brian Deer Scheme

It is a challenge to classify Indigenous knowledge using conventional library classification systems. An interconnected network of information and ideas needs to be classified in a way that adds structure, but also demonstrates relationships and offers some flexibility. Kahnawake librarian Brian Deer developed a classification system that better reflects an Indigenous worldview and the Union of British Columbia Indian Chiefs Resource Centre recently released a new revision of this system. Implementing this new system was a project that produced a model and tools, as well as inspiration that other institutions can use to move toward more culturally appropriate classification.     

北美印第安人的帕瓦节及其意义探究

在北美印第安文化体系中,帕瓦节占有特殊的地位。它是传统文化的象征,体现了土著人通过歌唱、舞蹈和击鼓等形式,表达和传承他们热爱生活、净化灵魂、渴望和平的良好愿望。经过演变与发展,如今的帕瓦节融合了传统与流行文化的元素,成为北美地区文化标志之一,对于继承和弘扬北美土著民族的传统与价值观念,提升土著民族的认同感与凝聚力,扩大与非土著人的联系和交往等,都具有重要意义。     

北美印第安文化的缩影——烟斗仪式的历史与现实意义探究

北美印第安人是世界上具有古老传统文化的少数民族之一,他们的文化不但源远流长,而且内涵深邃。烟斗仪式作为美国和加拿大印第安人文化体系和宗教信仰中的重要内容,是印第安人与"神灵"世界沟通的纽带,也是他们向上苍和祖先表达虔敬和感激的主要方式。从烟草到烟斗的各个部位都有深刻的象征寓意,烟斗仪式已成为北美印第安文化的缩影。因此,探究其历史与现实意义,对于我们了解印第安文化的精髓,尊重印第安人的习俗与信仰,寻觅我们内心与精神世界的平和与宁静,都是非常必要的。     

实力与角色并进：当前印度洋“热”之动力因

实力,是衡量国家能量的尺度,是彰显国家影响力及辐射力的要素。实力塑造着国家的形象,能够增强国家的动机和意志力,并决定着国家的权力范围与利益收成。随着实力达到一定程度,国家就会期待能够扮演一定的角色,并使其信仰、期望得以兑现,从而确保利益的最大化。当前的印度洋＂热＂,不仅暴露出印度洋地区国家随实力增长其角色诉求日益增强的趋势,而且还彰显了域外国家倚仗实力试图在异域确立主导性地位之历史必然。实力与角色互推共进正在成为引领该地区发展变化的主旋律。
