Killing with Culture: Anthropology’s Ethical Dilemma with War

ABSTRACT

This article highlights the difficulty of creating a code of ethics in anthropology, particularly one that appropriately addresses the nuanced nature of the military and the anthropologists who conduct research and disseminate information in the context of war. The article consults one of the most important books on this topic, George R. Lucas' Anthropologists in Arms (2009), along with several other relevant texts, and examines the ethical complexities and dilemmas American and European anthropologists faced during their involvement in both World Wars, as well as those faced during Vietnam and the more recent wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The article also examines the military's recruitment of cultural experts, the methods used to culturally engage combatants, and the criticisms against social scientists who choose to work as so-called military anthropologists. The anthropologists in this article risked academic exile conducting what some consider an adulteration of academic principles. The article contributes to the discourse regarding unconventional warfare and the methods used by the armed forces to better understand the cultural nuances of people, and to highlight the need for the development of a better anthropological code of ethics that accounts for the challenges of war.     

境外换持证件取道偷渡的形式特点及对策研究

境外换持证件取道偷渡活动由于检查难、处罚难而成为近年来犯罪分子偷渡的主要方式,严重损害了我国的国际声誉和形象,扰乱了正常的出入境秩序,对此必须有针对性地采取综合措施,才能收到最佳打击、防范效果。     

中华传统行刑文化论纲

中华传统行刑文化是中华传统法律文化的重要组成部分,许多方面表现了中华民族的先进性,蕴含了许多合理因素。包括德主刑辅,宽猛相济的行刑理念;恤刑悯囚的人本传统;法、理、情相统一的行刑策略;引礼入法等。社会主义法治建设应继承和发扬传统行刑文化中的合理成分,树立科学行刑理念,实现和谐行刑。     

中国特色网络文化建设与大学生思想政治教育

随着网络技术的发展,网络文化也运用而生。网络文化的双面效应给高校的思想政治教育工作带来了新的挑战。本文在分析网络文化对大学生影响的基础上,提出构建中国特色的网络文化,推进大学生思想政治教育的思路和措施。     

和谐文化的人性基础

人是社会的人,人的本质是一切社会关系的总和,因而人具有广泛体现其社会本质与发展内涵的多方面的需要。人的需要具有广泛性和无限性的特点,人不仪有物质需要,而且有精神需要。人是文化的存在物,人决定文化,文化反过来又塑造人。马克思认为人的发展的必然趋势是和谐的发展,而和谐发展的人,必须是全面发展和个性丰富高度统一的人,是具有自由个性的人。和谐人性理论是建设和谐文化的基础,建设和谐文化需要和谐人性理论做前提。

文化现象与外语教学

语言体现文化,文化蕴于语言之中.研究文化与语言的关系,把语言中的种种文化观象,应用于外语教学,可加深学生对语言的理解,提高外语教学效果.     

论文化教育与素质教育

文化教育是人才的摇篮,是人类文化的继续、发展和创新的阵地.文化教育是提高大学生思想道德素质的主要途径,是推进素质教育的阵地,两者必须结合,才能培育出全方位综合方向发展的高素质人才.文化教育包括精神文化、教育文化和物质文化等方面.精神文化是文化教育的核心,教育文化是体现学校教学和科研为社会主义市场经济和面向世界的要求提供培养人才的摇篮,物质文化包括教育设施、文体设施、服务设施和校园环境建设,为培养高素质优秀人才提供物质保障.     

反馈系统强镇定的区间算法

反馈系统强镇定不改变受控系统的传递零点 ,而受控系统的传递零点影响反馈系统跟踪参考信号和扰动抑制等能力 ;反馈系统可否强镇定还与两个受控系统是否可同时镇定有密切关系 .给出了判定和计算受控系统强镇定的一种新的算法———区间算法 .这种算法是一种大范围求解方法 ,能同时求出受控系统的全部零点 .     

From Moscow with coercion: Russian deterrence theory and strategic culture

The recent Russian approach to strategy has linked nuclear, conventional and informational (cyber) tools of influence into one integrated mechanism. The article traces the intellectual history of this Russian cross-domain concept, discusses its essence and highlights its destabilising effects. By analysing a case outside of Western strategic thought, it demonstrates how strategic concepts evolve differently in various cultural realms and argues for a tailored approach for exploring coercion policies of different actors. The findings of the study are applicable beyond the Russian case, and relevant to scholars and actors exploring, utilising or responding to cross-domain coercion strategy.
