Mandarin lessons: modernity,colonialism and Chinese cultural nationalism in the Dutch East Indies,c.1900s

The Chinese Association in the Dutch East Indies, known locally as the Tiong Hoa Hwe Koan (THHK) was first established in Batavia in 1900. A key objective of the THHK’s foundation was the creation of modern schools instructing in Mandarin for local Chinese students. At the turn of the 20th century, this odd choice of instructional language led to highly charged debates about languages, pedagogical efficacy, practicality, modernity-tradition and cultural authenticity. Using underutilized source materials in the local Malay-Hokkien vernacular, this article revisits these debates amongst the Chinese in the Dutch colony. This article interrogates the transparency of common ethnicity in analyses of Chinese nationalisms that developed outside of continental China. Drawing on the concept of “literary governance” as well as comparative work by scholars on Indian and continental Chinese nationalisms, it demonstrates the significance of the colonial context which provoked the THHK to adopt the vocabulary of modernity in reworking progressive ideas circulating in displaced Chinese nationalistic circles. Notwithstanding the THHK’s promotion of Mandarin, such reworking was accomplished through vigorous acts of transliteration and translation in the hybridized Malay-Hokkien vernacular. The THHK was hardly on the receiving end of nationalistic influences emanating from the proverbial China core but was an active agent in what has been described as a “global moment of Chinese nationalism.” The case of the THHK demonstrates the need for a finer understanding of multivalent histories of Chinese nationalisms as well as how these histories intersected with those of European colonialism in Southeast Asia.     

规范主义合法性理论的衰落与重建

在当代政治学中,明显存在着合法性的经验理论与规范理论二元化张力.经验主义合法性理论对传统规范主义合法性理论的终极价值之维进行了"祛魅",并导致了传统规范主义合法性理论的衰落.但是,由于经验主义合法性理论的极端"工具性"偏向,它又使得经过经验主义改造之后的合法性理论被纳入到了"政治话语操控体系",并成为一种"知识奴役"工具.反思经验主义合法性理论,寻求新规范主义合法性理论的重建已经成为现代性反思与建构的重要组成部分.     

真理、偶然性与现代性

如果将真理的绝对主义与相对主义之吊诡称作"真理的二律背反",那么近数十年来,许多哲学问题都是为了解决这个二律背反.希拉里·普特南、卡尔-奥托·阿佩尔、尤尔根·哈贝马斯似乎试图表明真理的绝对主义不必导致形而上学,而理查德·罗蒂则试图表明对真理的绝对主义的批判不必导致相对主义.通过对上述两方围绕真理问题论争之理论基础的分析,可以看到真理、偶然性与现代性之间的内在关联.     

城镇化过程中农民的文化意识及其转化——基于现代性的反思

城镇化是我国未来社会发展的主要样态,农民是城镇化的主体与主要受益者。城镇化过程可视为农村居民向城镇居民转变的过程,因此农民的传统文化意识直接影响着城镇化的推进。本文以现代性思想为基础,通过对农民文化意识的思考,提出城镇化过程中农民文化意识的转化方向和基于传统文化的农民文化意识转化策略,即传统文化中未来意识的发掘,传统文化中生态意识的传承,传统文化中群体意识的存续,传统经济伦理与道德意识的承接。     

Negotiating women’s social space: public debates on gender in early modern Kerala,India*

Abstract

The paper argues that the formation of modern gender identities in early‐twentieth‐century Kerala was deeply implicated in the project of shaping governable subjects who were, at one and the same time ‘free’ and already inserted into modern institutions. Because gender appeared both natural and social, both individualising and general, it seemed to be a superior form of social ordering compared to the pre‐existing order of caste. The actualisation of a superior society ordered by gender was seen to be dependent upon the shaping of the fully‐fledged individuals with strong internalities and well‐developed gendered capacities that would place them in distinct social domains of the public and domestic, as ‘free’ individuals, who, however, were bound together in a complementary relationship. While this model still remains dominant in Kerala, by the 1930s, the public/domestic divide came to be blurred with the rapid spread of disciplinary institutions. Womanhood came to be associated not with a certain domain but with a certain form of power. This legitimated the entry of Malayalee women into public life, undergirded the much‐discussed ‘Kerala Model’ of development, and still holds up the highly ambiguous sort of ‘liberation’ elite Malayalee women have experienced. It has also strongly influenced the specific shape the resistance to patriarchy has taken in Kerala in the twentieth century.     

Seoul and the time in motion: urban form and political consciousness

Abstract

This paper explores the political effects of the cognitive change in the visual environment of colonial Seoul. It asks how the new urban imagery was perceived by the Korean population. It analyzes the ways in which they experienced urban forms, techniques of advertisement and urban infrastructure such as street‐cars and trains. It argues that the engagement of people with mobility, urban symbols and spectacles in the colonial city had stimulated different ways of seeing and thinking about who they were and what they had become, a new collective identity that is neither a subject of the Chos[obreve]n dynasty nor the Japanese colonial state. This paper demonstrates that colonial Seoul represented not only the technique of Japanese colonial subjugation but also generated a new grammar for imagining new identity and difference. The urban environment of the colonial city reflects not entirely a strategy of the colonizer but a tactic of the colonized in appropriating the different meanings of new social life, which was brought by, but not exclusively under, the control of colonial space and time.     

J.B. Priestley,the ‘Modern’ and America

ABSTRACT

J.B. Priestley has often been seen as representative of a nostalgic Englishness which rejected the modern world and, in the process, embraced anti-Americanism. However, as this article suggests, Priestley had a more complicated relationship with both America and modernity than has been accepted. Focusing on the 1930s, it shows how Priestley travelled widely in the United States and came to admire the democratic and collective aspects of American culture, whilst also developing a critique of what he saw as the lack of individuality and creativity in other elements of the ‘mass' society, anticipating arguments he would develop after 1945.     

论肖像画的诞生:一种现代性的视角

在中西方绘画史上,肖像画发展的程度截然不同,作为西方绘画主要类型的肖像画,在中国绘画史上却没有独立的位置。可以说,“肖像画的诞生”是一个现代性事件,只有足够成熟的现代化社会才能为其提供存在的普遍性条件——自主性精神。通过比较中西肖像画所植根的文化系统,可以展现肖像画作为现代性的文化表征所包含的双重性,它既显示了其所植根的那种普遍性的条件——文化现代性,同时也展示了现代性的自主化精神在艺术中的内在化——审美现代性。可以说,肖像画作为一个特殊的艺术门类,表征了普遍的现代性精神在文化和艺术中的同源共生。     

生产现代性批判之剖析

就海德格尔、卢卡其和马克思而言，他们之所以能相遇，是因为他们都有对生产现代性的分析与批判。这些分析与批判对当前的科学发展观、和谐社会的构建具有重大警示作用。生产不能仅仅从财富的增加这一狭义的目标上考虑。在发展生产的同时，应考虑到生产的最终目的是人与自然、人与人的和谐发展，以及社会中每个个体的全面而自由的发展。
