摘要
中国和西方的许多学者正在试图从历史根源上来研究中国的民族主义。作者认为中国民族主义的界限决定了中国的认同。探究“界限”这一概念是为了证明中国的边界不仅包括领土,还包括文化和政治的内涵,而大多数人仅从政治层面来关注中国的民族主义。作者通过分析中文有关“中国威胁”的文章得出以下观点,它们除了对国外的批评进行批驳外,还在探讨政治认同,同时也正在建构中国的国内政治与国际政治之间的界线,并通过划界的方式来构建中国的认同。文章的结论是,由于现实主义已经在“中国崛起”的争论中占据主导地位,所以有必要用批判性的国际关系理论来全面探讨中国的民族认同。
While many authors in China and the West seek to discover a Chinese nationalism by examining China’s authentic roots, this article argues that identity is determined by its limits. The author explores the concept of limits to argue that borders in China are not just territorial, but also cultural and political. Chinese nationalism is defined at the border between domestic and international politics. To argue this point, the author examines controversies in Chinese texts surrounding the discourse on the China threat. The author finds that the texts do more than simply refute the criticisms from abroad; they are engaged in identity politics by constructing a border between China’s domestic and international politics. Thus the negative images of the PRC that are continually circulated in the Chinese texts serve to construct a Chinese identity through the logic of estrangement. Finally, the author concludes that since realism has dominated the “rise of China” debate, it is necessary to use critical IR theory to open up space for a complex discussion of China’s identity politics.
