世界遗产:神圣的职责

当前,不止在国内,而且在国外,都涌动着一股世界遗产热。一个又一个地方在议论着要申报世界遗产;而已经列入《世界遗产名录》的遗产地的保护状况又时不时地成为社会舆沦关注的焦点。曾经不只一个人在问,这个“世界遗产”到底有什么用?为什么会越来越热?     

图林根 德国艺术深呼吸

德国图林根州的南部有一条狭长的山脉,从西北向东南延伸,森林茂密浓郁,土地肥沃的图林根盆地上盛产小麦和甜菜,首府爱尔福特周围生机烂漫地生长着花草和蔬菜。在这片德国传统的文学、音乐．建筑的策源地上深深呼吸,乡土田园气息会裹夹着或古典或现代的艺术气息扑面而来,让身心舒朗,也让唇齿生芳……[编者按]     

澳大利亚世界遗产的保护与旅游开发

澳大利亚共有19个地点被列入联合国教科文组织的世界遗产名录,其中包括地球上最古老的雨林和世界上三分之一左右的海洋保护区。澳大利亚的许多标志性旅游目的地都被列入了世界遗产保护名录,如大堡礁和昆士兰的湿热带地区（包括黛恩树雨林）;新南威尔士州的大蓝山地区;北部地区的卡塔丘塔国家公园;以及西澳大利亚州金伯利地区的普奴鲁鲁国家公园。其中,占地130万公顷的塔斯马尼亚荒原世界遗产区符合10项标准中的7项,超过其他任何世界遗产区。     

世界文化遗产与改善民生

正今年是《保护世界文化和自然遗产公约》通过四十周年。也许知晓这个公约具体内容的人不是很多,但是在公约的框架下努力构建的《世界遗产名录》早已为公众所耳熟能详。如今,很多地方都在为拥有世界遗产而努力,对于当地政府来说,世界遗产是一种荣誉,也是新的经济增长点。对于身处其中的民众来说,更关心的是能给自己的生活带来什么样的好处。

周口店寂寞的先祖

1987年,远古人类栖息地周口店成功入选《世界遗产名录》,成为中国首批6处世界遗产地之一。在今天的很多人眼里,它充其量不过是一些地处小城镇的破旧山洞,毫无美丽景致可言,绝不像长城、故宫那样游人如织。然而,正是这些不起眼的山洞,却为我们留下了早期人类活动的珍贵印迹,成为了解人类成长历史最为重要的实物资料之一。     

濒危世界遗产：理论与实践的困局

与《世界遗产名录》一样,《濒危世界遗产名录》也已经成为国家之间在世界遗产舞台上谋求利益的工具,与国家形象的塑造紧密关联。无论是积极寻求列入濒危遗产,还是拒绝进入《濒危名录》,其背后都隐含着深刻的国际政治背景,与国家所寻求的国际地位、国际社会互动模式、国内政治特征等都有着密切关系。联合国教科文组织世界遗产中心现阶段的对策是努力纠正对于"濒危遗产"的误解,但如果不能同时考虑到各国的政治诉求而在政治和技术两个维度间寻求平衡,困局将无法打破。濒危遗产或许会成为联合国教科文组织下一步改革的突破口。

Advances in Morphometrics in Archaeobotany

ABSTRACT

Morphometric analysis offers an alternative or augmentation to traditional archaeobotanical methods to address differences within and between plant species and their remains, refining and enhancing taxonomic resolution. Morphometrics, the measurement of size and shape, and the multivariate statistical analysis of generated quantitative variables, have long played a major role in biological research, including plant taxonomy and systematics, although its application in archaeobotany is relatively recent. Over the last few decades, there has been an increasing interest in the use of morphometrics for analysing a varied range of archaeological plant materials (mainly seeds, pollen, phytoliths, and starch grains). In particular, morphometrics have contributed to the study of the domestication and spread of many cereals world-wide, as well as that of other taxa including legumes, underground storage organs (USO), and fruits (such as olives, grapes, and dates). This paper reviews current methodologies, recent applications, and advances in the use of morphometrics in archaeobotanical research, discusses its role in exploring major research questions, and suggests possible future directions for its use.     

杏开二月

已经是二月仲春了,大地柔软,天气慢慢热起来了。一场习习的春雨,浇得人心头酥酥的。我第一次注意到,家门前的杏树开了。枝干上,星星点点,挑着几朵白,轻盈得很,把薄薄的心打开,驻足美的枝头,观赏人间烟火。背后是灰灰的庭院,低矮的     

Geography in Higher Education in Australia

Within the last 30 years, geographical information systems (GIS) have been used increasingly in the training of geographers. On the basis of the philosophy of technology and instrumental genesis, we sketch how the use of instruments interacts with learning processes and outline how this can be studied. We empirically analyse students' learning processes and the influences of teaching practice in an introductory course in GIS. We show that students have different strategies for creating their personal instrument for spatial thinking and how teaching interacts with the students' learning processes. Finally, we discuss how GIS may gradually alter future professional development of geographers.     

America in Speech and in Deed

The author's primary aim in what follows is to fully articulate Chantal Delsol's critique of late modern universalism as an attempt to depoliticize the individual for the sake of replacing politics with morality. The result of this depoliticization is a quasi-pantheistic cosmopolitanism that not only effectively denies the significance of individuality, despite rhetorically lionizing it, but also undercuts the freedom of individual conscience that makes moral choice possible. Genuine political prudence and moral judgment are subsequently replaced by the rigid exactitude of a technocratic analysis that reintroduces the "clandestine ideology" it was, despite protestations to the contrary, intended to eliminate. The unhappy paradox produced by the attempt to replace the necessary limitations of political judgment with the universality of a priori moral decree is that a new set of culturally and historically idiosyncratic political attachments are surreptitiously introduced beyond the pale of reasonable debate and disagreement. Delsol's measured response is not a precipitous rejection of universalism as such but a rehabilitation of it that recaptures the Christian moral realism at its core.     

Tibetan-Inhabited Area in Deqen in Development

Deqen, honored as “Shangri La”,is located in the area where three rivers meet to form one in the Henduan Mountains straddling the borders of Yunnan, Sichuan and Tibet. The Deqen Tibetan Ethnic Group Autonomous Prefecture, founded in September 1957, is the only Tibetan autonomous prefecture in Yunnan Province but one of 10 in the
