National cultural capital: an economic perspective on culture
Leader“Research on Literature and Cultural Capital”Innovative team, established with characteristics“Cultural Capital and Intercultural Center”, offering a series of undergraduate, master's and doctoral courses such as "Introduction to Cultural Capital", "Cultural Capital Research", "Cultural Capital and Cross-Culture"……Xu Dejin did not choose the path that most economics teachers take to cultivate international talents and international students in China, which focuses on cultural creativity and cultural industries. Instead, he opened up a new field for the cultivation of international talents for international students and domestic students——“National Cultural Capital”。
What happened“National Cultural Capital”? Xu Dejin told his students: Unlike the French sociologist Pierre·Proposed by Bourdieu“Cultural capital”Say,“National Cultural Capital”Beyond the limitations of a single individual, it focuses more on studying how the country converts the high-quality resource of traditional national culture, which is the country's soft power, into capital.“Cultural soft power is a large, empty, abstract and even virtual concept. So how should we measure its role in the strategy of cultivating cultural power and international talent?”After long-term thinking and exploration of international talent training, he found that it is a good way to quantitatively study the global impact index of national (national) traditional culture by introducing relevant economic theories, mathematical modeling and field survey methods of applied statistics. This was also his original intention to start the research project on national cultural capital and corporate cultural capital characteristics."OverseasThe establishment of the Confucius Institute, the sharp increase in the number of foreigners learning Chinese, and the growth of the number of international students in China can all become important indicators for evaluating the degree of internationalization of China's national and national culture and its external impact.”He gave an example.
Don’t be knowledgeable or uneducated“Glass Man”
“Knowledge and culture are two different concepts. A person with knowledge does not necessarily have culture.”Xu Dejin said. He pointed out that culture is internalized in each person and is reflected in a person's words and deeds. In today's society, there are people with knowledge and without culture“Never-eating fireworks”It won't work. It is based on this concept that Xu Dejin not only imparts professional knowledge in international talent training, especially in teaching international students, but also pays attention to cultivating the Chinese cultural literacy of domestic and foreign students and enhancing students' national cultural heritage, so as to lay a solid cultural foundation for students to better integrate into and serve society in the future.
“Chinese Dream·College Dream”It is the dream of a “cultural power”
From the 17th National Congress to this year’s Two Sessions, the Party Central Committee and the State Council have always emphasized“Cultural power”'s strategy. Since the beginning of the year, General Secretary Xi Jinping has repeatedly proposed“Chinese Dream”'s conception. In this regard, Xu Dejin believes that to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, we must not only start from the economy and science and technology, but also pay attention to our country's cultural construction, and convert the country's precious national cultural resources into usable capital for the country, thereby enhancing the country's cultural soft power. As a member of the w88 casino, how can we truly participate in the realization“Chinese Dream"In actionWhat about?“First of all, we must start from each of us, starting from realizing the ‘university dream’. And realize‘College Dream’, there should be a practical path.”Xu Dejin said so. If universities want to participate in the cause of realizing the great rejuvenation of Chinese national culture, they should improve their overall talent training level, integrate with international standards, and become a window and base for the country to export talents and excellent national culture. For university faculty and staff, they must not only cultivate students' national cultural awareness in the form of classroom teaching culture and actively cultivate students' ability to think independently and practice, but they must also do a good job in scientific research, produce more results, and provide constructive opinions for national and government decision-making. In this regard, Xu Dejin is working hard to practice and hope to make his own efforts and contributions to realize the "university dream", "Chinese dream" and "cultural power dream".
“We must play the card of national and national culture well, fully tap the rich cultural resources of the Chinese nation, and let the Chinese national culture21The century is full of vitality.”Xu Dejin said.
