“Lai ghép” - Sự tạo sinh các dạng thức văn hóa mới: Trường hợp Phạm Quỳnh và Nam Phong tạp chí

Abstract

In the context of cultural conflicts between East and West, tradition and modernity in the early twentieth century, Pham Quynh was one of the contemporary intellectuals who created a deep impression of his approach to new culture through cultural hybridization. Based on post-colonial theory, particularly the concept of hybridity, the article analyzes Pham Quynh's cultural hybridization policy in the Nam Phong Journal. This policy involved proposals such as harmonizing the new and old, incorporating elements from both Asia and Europe, combining East Asian ethics with Western European science, building a new national culture that unified East and West, and even merging the beauty of Chinese literature with French literature. Thereby, it can be seen that "hybridity" was once considered a priority not only for Pham Quynh but also for many colonial intellectuals at that time.
