参加“漫画工学团”前后

回首平生,我感到：苦难的社会是最好的课堂。它使人对世道的不公正、不平等萌发改造的愿望,对国家被蚕食的命运,产生一种忧患意识和责任感。记得武汉沦陷（１９３８年）和日寇侵入上海租界（１９４１年）,两次在坦克声中听老师讲《最后一课》,亡国之恨和“国家兴亡匹...     

殊途同归：胡适与张君劢的历史命运

殊途同归：胡适与张君劢的历史命运雷颐面对着近代中国政治、经济、社会及文化的全面危机,将传统士大夫“以天下为己任”的使命感和现代知识分子关于政治民主、政治参与的社会责任感集于一身的中国现代知识分子,以一种“舍我其谁”的忧患意识,沉思、探索、宣传、争辩、...     

试论宋代士大夫的忧患意识

宋代重用文士的国策和内忧外患的国势,大大强化了士大夫以天下为己任的社会责任感和历史使命感。他们积极参政议政,倡导社会变革,体恤百姓疾苦,关注中国传统文化。笔者认为两宋社会在内忧外患中维持三百余年,士大夫的这种忧患意识发挥了重要作用。     

西周德观念与早期人文理性

西周之前人们也考虑过德的问题,然而没有周人思考得这样深刻和系统。德观念在西周盛行,并对后世产生深远影响是一个不争的文化史史实。西周的德观念来源于宗法贵族社会管理的政治理论,随后它超越了政治领域而发展为具有普遍意义的思想文化观念和道德准则。它的普遍文化因素表现为一种早期的人文理性,主要包含四方面的内涵:提倡宽容、反对暴力,张扬人的理性思维,重视人的精神提升,强调人的责任感。然而,它的不足在于漠视个性,为异化个体价值做了历史文化铺垫。中国传统文化极端强调人的社会属性、漠视人的个性的文化倾向即滥觞于此。     

浅论杜甫诗歌的忧患意识

杜甫的诗歌是为时代而泣、为百姓而泣的诗歌,被公认为“诗史”,其诗歌不仅涉及国家的大事,还触及人们日常生活的各个方面,表现出杜甫对一切和其它有关事物的仁者之心和高度责任感,也就反映出了他诗歌中的那种忧患意识。     

清华简《殷高宗问于三寿》所反映的忧患意识

正忧患意识是人们因自然、社会和命运的不确定性而引发的担心与忧虑,进而希望以自身的努力及社会力量去予以克服的心态。清华简《殷高宗问于三寿》产生于战国中期,正处在社会剧烈动荡的时期,故其忧患意识尤为强烈,试析于下。清华简《殷高宗问于三寿》(下文简称《三寿》)假托殷高宗武丁与三个年龄段老人(主要与彭祖)的对话,阐述战国时人对自然、社会与个人修养的诸多理解。它虽然引用殷代的故事,却立足于战国的现实,所以在说理的同时,字里行间无不透     

领导干部干预案件的问题如何解决

对于法律有两种说法：一种是建构理性,是可以人为建构的,国家可以通过自己立一个法来建构一种制度;一种是演进理性,说法律是逐步随着社会的进步而演进的,社会条件不具备,没演进到这一步,人为地要做,很难。理论上有这个争议,有人主张法律是建构理性,有人主张法律是演进理性。我个人认为是两者的结合。     

社会责任感对青年成长的意义

当今的中国青年一代,是富有高度社会责任感的一代。是否具有社会责任感,是一个人是否真正适应社会,一个青年是否顺利实现社会化的重要标志。那么,什么是社会责任感?怎样看待青年的社会责任感?在现代多元价值观念的背景下,如何有效地进行社会责任感教育和培养?无论是从和谐社会建设的角度,还是当代青年发展的角度,都是我们必须认真思考的问题。

Telling small stories: spaces of knowledge and the practice of geography

This article examines how the practice of learning geography, and the arenas in which knowledge-making takes place, can be usefully positioned within changing histories of the discipline. It contends that networks of action – understood through the intersection of social sites, subjects and sources – present a conceptual framework and narrative focus for the re-consideration of specific episodes from geography's past. The interventions made here are informed and illustrated by a 'small story' about the doing of geography. Based on different personal accounts, the story revives a series of events, encounters, dialogues and images dating back to the winter of 1951 at Glenmore Lodge, Scotland. This educational institution in the Cairngorm mountains offered children from urban areas the opportunity to learn field studies and the skills of 'outdoor citizenship'. Initially, the focus falls on Margaret Jack, a 14-year-old field-course participant. Her learning experiences are traced through personal letters, a diary and a field journal dating from that time, and her recent recollections of this event. Margaret's account dovetails with the story of her field studies instructor, Robin Murray. Robin's role is traced through his learning experiences as a geography undergraduate at Aberdeen University, and the recent recollections of Catriona Murray, his wife.     

Das Wissen der Schulden. Recht,Kulturtechnik und Alltagserfahrung im liberalen Kapitalismus

The Knowledge of Debt: Law, Media Technique, and Everyday Experience in Liberal Capitalism. Performing an object such as ‘the economy’ hinges on practices of formatting knowledge. The article proposes to look at such instituting moments in connection with social conflicts over the legitimate rules of exchange. This is exemplified by way of recounting the story of the codification of Swiss bankruptcy law in 1889. In order to homogenize the legal procedures of debt collection and bankruptcy, two subject categories were instituted: ‘merchants’ and ‘non-merchants’. These different categories were thought to account for the diverging temporalities and spaces of credit exchange in everyday economic life. The introduction of the commercial register, a media-technical apparatus, enabled a formal distinction between ‘merchants’ and ‘non-merchants’. However, this boundary was contested and proved to be porose.     

Two radiocarbon dates for freshwater shells from hierakonpolis: Archaeological and geological interpretations

Shells of two species of freshwater bivalve (Unio willcocksi Bullen Newton and Etheria elliptica Lamarck) from the predynastic Gerzean (Nagada II) Decorated Tomb at Hierakonpolis, Egypt have given dates of 5000±90 bp for the tomb, and 12,900±120 bp for an episode of Nile terrace accumulation (correlated here with the Sahaba-Darau aggradation event). The archaeological and geological significance of these results is discussed, together with an outline of problems associated with radiocarbon dating of shell. Comparisons are made with the few other radiocarbon dates available for the Predynastic period in Egypt and possible reasons for the presence of shells in the tomb are considered.     

Some chronological implications of a fossil molluscan assemblage from a neolithic site at Brook,Kent, England

The later post-glacial history of a valley in the chalk escarpment near Brook, Kent, is described, based on molluscan stratigraphy, archaeological evidence and radio-carbon dating. Differences in size and colour banding, respectively, of fossil and living representatives of two species of land snails, Pomatias elegans (Müller) and Cepaea nemoralis (L.), are correlated with climatic change during the post-glacial period. The problems of the use of fossil shells of these species as samples for radiocarbon dating are discussed.     

China's Dynamic Industrial Sector: The Internet Industry

A Singapore-based economic geographer explores and analyzes the spatially uneven evolution of the Internet industry in China, arguing that the country's immense regional disparity in the provision of Internet services is best explained by the interplay of place- and path-dependence. The author demonstrates how the highly uneven regional endowments in relevant industrial and entrepreneurial resources have led to the substantial and persistent regional imbalance within China's emerging "new economy." His initial survey of the country's 100 leading Internet content providers (firms), identified from a listing of ca. 11,700 commercial websites, is selectively augmented to reflect an increase of over 70 million Internet users in 2007, reaching a total of 253 million in June 2008, and thus overtaking the United States as the world's largest Internet market.

The 1911 International Exposition in Rome: architecture, archaeology, and national identity

This paper discusses the 1911 International Exposition in Rome and illustrates how this patriotic celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the Italian Sate utilized symbolic landscapes of architecture and archaeology to promote nationalist sentiments of italianità and romanità centered on the young capital of Rome. Through modern art exhibitions at the Valle Giulia, scientific conferences at the Castel Sant’Angelo, archaeological exhibits on the Roman Empire in the Baths of Diocletian, and regional Italian pavilions in the Piazza d’Armi, exposition officials offered a complex representation of Italian national identity that was modern yet ancient, cosmopolitan yet bucolic, European yet regional, and imperial yet developing.     

The Rise and Fall of Alexander the Great – The Need for Medical Analysis: Reply to Commentaries

Alexander the Great died in 323 B.C. from an unknown cause. By elucidating the nature of his death, we can better interpret various aspects of Alexandrian history. Alexander’s death may have ensued from the sequelae of a congenital scoliotic syndrome. It would therefore be of significance to note that one of the greatest leaders in history who conquered much of the then known world may have been suffering from a physical disability.     

Hospital Drama: Visual Theatres of the Medical Rendezvous from Asylum to Hospital with Reference to Specific Works by Anna Furse

Abstract

This paper is informed by Furse’s practice as a theatre maker in two fields of output that are connected by two factors: first, the presence of the woman patient — hysteric/subfertile respectively — within the clinical gaze; second, the significance of the womb to each pathology. In the treatment of each (explored in Furse’s theatre), lens based technologies play their part, whilst the cultural and medical can be seen to have overlapped to produce specific meaning with regard to Her body and its spectacularity. The article presents an overview of some of the key issues in precisely how the woman’s body becomes spectacular within this prosthetic medical gaze and how the medical — and theatrically designed spaces to represent these — become meaningful and potent proxemics that in turn inform medical/ theatrical spectatorship. Overarching nineteenth-century protocols at the Salpêtrière Hospital in Paris (where Furse’s Augustine (Big Hysteria) is set) to contemporary imaging technologies used in the treatment of subfertility with Assisted Reproduction Technologies (the topic of her Art of A.R.T. projects), it examines the way in which photography develops through cinema to X-Ray, ultrasound and then 3D/4D ultrasound to ‘capture’ the woman’s body in ways by which she becomes muted and exposed. These occular technologies that extend the gaze, first to an exterior subject and then, eventually, traversing the flesh without knife, lend specific performativity to the ‘patient’ women, within the context of hysterias and reproductive impairments respectively. Finally, issues of suspension of disbelief are addressed. The spectator’s faith in the screen-based image of Her spectacular body is interrupted in Furse’s work, which is also keenly interested in the effect of such imagery on the woman’s sense of Self. The historical and cultural leaps in this article argue that there is indeed a trajectory through the history of medical imaging since the first application of photography to anatomy to the more advanced scoping technologies of medical imaging today, and that in each era, the production of these images remain fraught with cultural implications.     

The Death of Alexander the Great – A Spinal Twist of Fate

Alexander the Great died in 323 B.C. from an unknown cause. Physical depictions of this historical figure reveal the likelihood of a cervical scoliotic deformity. This is substantiated with the medical history and is correlated with his untimely death. For the first time, it is concluded that Alexander’s death may have ensued from the sequelae of a congenital scoliotic syndrome.
