A: Over a decade.
Q: What was your writing process like? How did you two collaborate on this

A: The research shook itself out by language. Jung did all the Chinese-

c***s 发帖数: 70028 | 6 今年5月20日,英国星期天《泰晤士报》刊登评论员文章,对中国在英国举办孔子学院充满敌对态度。该文章引用伦敦政治经济学院著名政治和外交学教授Christopher Hughes对孔子学院的强硬和冷战的言辞(见附件2, 英文原文), 在英国引起一场不小的震动。
5月24日,美国国务院以签证为由,要求孔子学院中国教师限期离境,引起全美数十家孔子学院,以及和孔子学院合作的大学,一片哗然。
把这两件事情连系起来,不难看出,中国利用孔子学院向全球传播文化和语言,被西方一些右翼分子,当成是中国政府宣传软实力的工具。
作为英方的孔子学院院长,我对这个问题,也是感到非常困惑和震惊。
为什么,中国政府诚心诚意地花钱推广中国的文化和语言,会遇到如此想不到的打击和阻碍?中国政府应该如何对付这样的打击?如何应对今后更加意想不到的困难?
本人认为,中国政府应该做好如下工作:
其一,保持冷静的态度,认真研究对方各种持不同观点和态度的人群,采取有效措施,争取亲华力量,尽量化解冷战思维人士的冷战态度。
其二,加强和完善孔子学院的管理。不要把国内的管理方法和官僚作风带到外国的孔子学院中来,最低限度就是必须赢得当地孔子学院... 阅读全帖 |

1775年法国大众新闻业的“投石党运动”
于艳茹
摘要
传统新闻史认为,旧制度时期的法国新闻业处于严格的书报审查制度之下,因此在1789
年革命前没有发起过对旧制度的攻击。然而,新研究表明,1775年,法国大众新闻业曾
经在政治上突然变得激进化。这一现象与一批涌入新闻业的受挫剧作家有关,更与当时
新君即位、莫普改革失败和高等法院被恢复等政治事件密切相关。但是,激进的新闻业
不久便遭到官方镇压,重新被纳入王权书报审查制度控制之下。到了1779年,一切归于
沉寂。然而,这次昙花一现的新闻自由还是对岌岌可危的旧制度造成了沉重打击。
