和平共享｜文明冲突论扭曲的现实

　　本文摘自联合国教科文组织和平学教席、南京大学刘成教授与德国费希塔大学埃贡·施皮格尔教授（Egon Spiegel）合著的《全球化世界的和平建设》一书，主题为“文明冲突论扭曲的现实”。

所谓文明冲突论扭曲的现实

The point we made in the illustration above can be applied to the different classes people are related to. A (poor) member of the lower class of one culture is likely to live, think and act in a much more similar way to another (poor) person in another culture than to a (rich) member of the higher middle or upper class of his own culture (and vice versa with middle and upper class people). The same oppositions function between educated people and uneducated people or-in terms of gender-be-tween women and men.

In Johan Galtung's theory of imperialism, the similarities between the economic elites in the countries of the northern hemisphere and those of the southern hemisphere and the invisible bridge between them are the basis of the exploitation of the people at the periphery of these.

In fact, the so called “clash of civilization” simply hides the tension between the rich centres of the world and the poor periphery; as well as the patriarchal oppression of the women all over the world. In reality, a culture of powerful people exists on one side and one of powerless people

我们上图的观点可以被运用到不同阶层的比较。一个生活在一种文化中的底层（穷）人，其思维和行动与另一种文化的同层面（穷）人更相似，而不是与自己文化中的中高层（富）人更相似（反之亦然）。同样可以类推，受过教育的人是一类，未受过教育的人是另一类，根据性别划分女人与男人两类。

根据约翰•加尔通的帝国主义理论，北半球国家的经济精英与南半球国家的经济精英之间有着相似性，他们都剥削边缘人群，这是将他们链接起来的看不见的桥梁。因此，所谓的文明冲突只是掩盖了处于世界中心的富人与边缘的穷人之间的紧张关系，或忽视了全世界的女性遭受父权制压迫的现实。

在现实中存在的文化，一种是有权人的文化，另一种是无权人的文化。而且，直到如今，强势阶层之间的联系非常紧密，弱势群体却无力相互联合。但现在数码世界的发展似乎正在改变这种状况。
