內容簡介

　　This volume is a self-selected anthology of academic writings by Shi Xu which have been published in various international outlets since 1990s. Indicative of his personal intellectual journey through different parts of the world， this collection contains cultural critiques of mainstream language and discourse studies， enquiries into cultural forms of human discourses， and explorations in culturally unfamiliar or new discourses. It is designed for anyone who is interested in going beyond traditional bounds of discourse and communication studies and engaging in culturally conscious and critical approaches to human interaction.

精彩書摘

　　What do these insights into culture imply for the practice of discourse theory formation and development? They are not necessarily centrally concerned with the discursive forms of cultural practice. We need to find their links with the theoretical analysis of discourse. Further， how can individual researchers then formulate a non-ethnocentric， non-imperialist theory of discourse? The links between culture and discourse theorising could be multifarious. We need to translate them into a new， specific and principled way， or conceptual strategy， for informing the articulation of discourse theory. Let me take up these questions one by one.
　　The new cultural insights described above imply， first of all， that in the international academic world the construction of any discourse theory， my own as well as those of colleagues， cannot be natural， impartial or free from （imperial） cultural power. Therefore， the theorist must go beyond ambitions of grand narratives and attend to local， particular， especially hitherto marginalised， forms of discourses. These include not only ordinary discourses， but also the discourses of intellectual traditions. Thus， the theorist must depend on not only Western intellectual traditions， but non-Western ones as well; they must analyse not only Western discourses but non-Western discourses as well. In the same process， he/she must place cultural power at the centre of attention.
　　Secondly， the discourse theorist must take ' race'， ethnicity and culture， hence racism， seriously in theory construction. These properties must not be treated as if they belong only to other ordinary people; they exist at the core of the elite， disciplinary profession itself （for racisms in other social sciences see Gilroy 1992; Hall 1999; Said 1978， 1993; van Dijk 1993b）. Such a new form of theory formation should make explicit its ethno-historical specificity， on the one hand and on the other hand， attempt to involve multi-racial/coloured participation， collaboration and critical reflection as well as analysis of culturally diverse discourses， including local languages and issues.
　　Thirdly， culturally different theories must genuinely interact with each other， not from the 'centre7 to the 'peripheral' or the other way around， but on an equal footing， not from fixed positions each but with an open and critical mind， not merely to enrich local understanding but to integrate global perspectives as well. Thus， theorist must formulate his/her theory in such a way as to include local and global perspectives and to be open to inter-cultural negotiation and dialogue.

前言/序言

　　In the past twenty or so years of my academic life， I have published numerous scholarly writings in English; they are varied in genre， topic， approach， and cultural context; and they exist in various forms and outlets. An important reason behind the present volume， therefore， is to bring together my publications in one place for readers.
　　The present anthology is， nevertheless， only a small selection. My English publications can be divided into roughly three periods of more or less equal lengths. The first period （1989 - 1996）， when I was a visiting scholar and then AIO （university research assistant） at the University of Amsterdam， the Netherlands， is composed largely of work in discourse analysis; the second （1997 - 2003）， when I was teaching at the National University of Singapore and then the University of Ulster， UK， is more of a meandering and exploratory phase and sees some ventures in such disciplines as discursive psychology， cultural psychology， cultural studies， socio-cultural and political domains; and the most recent period （2004-2013）， which is more imaginative and prolific， is devoted consistently and firmly to developing and establishing the two broad and interrelated fields: Cultural Discourse Studies and Chinese Discourse Studies. But here in this collection I have selected only the more typical and representative pieces; moreover， I have other considerations in making my choices and organizing them.
　　I have wanted this collection to reflect to some extent the trajectory of my intellectual development on the one hand and on the other hand to indicate the terrains of research interests， orientations， approaches， disciplines， academic genres and socio-cultural domains that my academic journey has covered. Readers will find clues to these from the dates of the publications and the types of materials presented here. Beyond presenting such a personal record， further， I wish to showcase somehow a mode of research that a Chinese scholar could fashion， where one's scholarship is imbricated with wider historical and cultural context and in particular cultural-political and cultural-intellectual concerns. Readers will ascertain these historical and cultural traces in the changes of my research topics and objectives. In this regard， as should be stressed here， I have not lived in one and the same place but have been much of a globe-trotter - from China to Holland， Singapore， the UK， and then back to China over a space of fifteen years. These geopolitical displacements have left their marks， too， for example in the data materials treated， intellectual sources consulted， and research directions embarked on.
　　Most important of all， I have wanted to use this selected personal-cultural-intellectual account to make a case for multicultural scholarship on human discourse and communication: when global capitalism and Western hegemony have increasingly encroached upon the human and social sciences and the academe as a whole， of which discourse scholarship is a typical example， culturally conscious and critical modes of research are urgently needed in order for intercultural dialogue， genuine innovation， and helpful scholarship to become possible. This means， especially for scholars and students of the developing Third/ Fourth World， that we must break out of the shackles of the Western-centric forms of thinking and speaking and reconstruct locally grounded and globally minded academic identities， stances， voices， or more specifically， paradigms of discourse research.
