Experiencing multiculturalism in Greek‐Cypriot primary schools

Within the context of a monocultural and monolingual education system, this paper seeks to explore and compare the experiences of Cypriot and non‐Cypriot pupils in Greek‐Cypriot primary schools with culturally diverse pupil populations. The concept of multiculturalism has been introduced only very recently in Cyprus and there has been little research on pupils’ experience and understanding of multiculturalism. Using a narrative approach, this inquiry seeks to provide an understanding of the experience of studying in multicultural primary school classrooms. The pupils of two classrooms, aged between 10 and 12, describe their experience through terms such as new knowledge, religion, language, racism and stereotypes.

多元文化时代的“东西”形象之颠覆与重构——论谭恩美《沉默之鱼》的人物塑造

在自己全新突破的作品《沉默之鱼》中,谭恩美客观真实地描述了东方异域风光及文化,尤其对人物的具体塑造颇有深意,对东方之人物形象偏向正面描绘,而对白人之人物形象的刻画却充满批判讽刺。她用自己诙谐幽默的语言通过把异质文化之间的差异、矛盾和碰撞艺术地展现在读者面前,自我建构重塑东方人之形象,有效地反击了＂东方论述＂,同时颠覆改变白人之形象,积极地消解了＂白人优越论＂,表征了多元文化共存的文学诉求。

Diaspora as mind: making sense of the experiences of the Japanese in postwar Taiwan

This paper began as an inquiry into the plight of ethnic Japanese in postwar Taiwan. As a group, they have been an object of benign neglect. Despite the advent of “multiculturalism” (duoyuan wenhua zhuyi) in Taiwan, was marked by an “alien” (mainlander Chinese) KMT regime and led to the eventual liberation of opposition parties and indigenous ethnic groups, few have found it relevant to celebrate the cause of oppressed Japanese. The postwar ban on Taiwanese and Japanese culture was part of the same imperative of mono-cultural nationalism that endeavored to erase 50 years of Japanese colonialism in order to restore the legacy of Chinese civilization. At the same time, there is little recognition in the literature of any Japanese “diaspora” in Taiwan. It pales in comparison with the many Japanese orphans abandoned in Manchuria after the Second World War. The birth of a generation of children from mixed marriages making claims to Japanese “identity” has added other significant dimensions to the concept of diaspora and its definition as a social group or discursive construction.

Representations of ethnic minorities in China's university media

This paper examines the representation of ethnic minorities in China through a review of campus newspapers, a major print medium in which universities exercise power over the discourse of cultural recognition. Three universities attended by minority students were selected. A two-dimensional mode (content and configuration) is established to analyze ethnic representations. A combination of content analysis and discourse analysis is used to categorize and analyze text and photographs relevant to ethnicity. The study concludes that (1) different discursive practices are employed to construct ‘images’ of ethnic groups as ‘Others’ or ‘Us’; (2) representations of ethnic minorities and the Han generate three discursive dichotomies between minority and majority: minority groups are distinctive, potentially separatistic, and visible; and the Han people are normative, patriotic, and invisible, respectively; (3) the university media reflects an ideology of ‘state multiculturalism’ that constructs a reflexive representation of the relationship between majority and minority.     

论多元文化视野下的大学生文化自觉意识

文化的自觉层面在于超越文化模式,追求文化精神。在此基础上,大学生的文化自觉应该包括大学生的自我觉悟、觉醒,对本民族文化的认同和反思,对国外文化的借鉴与批判,进而发挥在文化参与和文化创造中的主体性,逐步实现对文化精神的追求。大学生文化自觉的实现有利于多元文化的和谐发展,两者是互为影响的。
