英文摘要: |
Three types of relations are entangled nowadays in dealing with issues
concerning national cultural security on both the theoretical and practical levels: (1) the
relation between one’s own culture and that of other ethnic groups; (2) the relation
between advanced and underdeveloped parts of culture; (3) the relation between one’s
ethnic culture and so-called foreign advanced culture as related to the previous two.
Accordingly, three modes of thinking are likely adopted in handling issues concerning
national cultural security: to antagonize one’s own culture with that of other ethnic
groups, that is, taking the “me or you” attitude; to dualize cultures as the “advanced”
and the “underdeveloped”, that is, believing things to be good if not bad, or vice
versa; and to assert that the ethnic are the advanced, that is, taking the “only-megood”
stance. It is a very demanding job to maintain national culture and to pursue
cultural development at the same time. Only when cultures are grouped into those
without distinction between the advanced and the underdeveloped and those with
such distinction can the relation between the ethnic and the advanced be properly
handled. With the former, it is essential to maintain the ethnicity of one’s own culture
before the cultural security is safeguarded. With the latter, however, the pursuit of
advanced cultures and the advocacy of the advanced part of a particular culture is a
key to ensuring and safeguarding the national cultural security. Hence, it is important
to enhance the public awareness of cultural security, and more essentially for the
government to offer scientifi cally appropriate orientation towards cultural security and
to frame related policies. |
