柴尔德与文化进程研究

著名考古学家戈登.柴尔德为考古学所作出的巨大贡献,今天到底意味着什么为了寻求这个问题的答案,英国考古协会和史前学会1992年5月在伦敦大学的考古研究所联合召开了纪念柴尔德诞辰一百周年讨论会。一百多名国际知名学者出席了这次会议,他们从多个角度对柴尔德的思想进行了深入的研究,并取得了丰硕的成果。会议主持人大卫.哈维斯把会议上发表的论文整理成集,定名为《柴尔德的考古学》(The archaeology of V.Gordon Childe)。科林.伦福儒在这篇被收录进论文集的文章为这次讨论会画上了一个完满的句号。他在文中论述了会议上发表的主要观点,并通过研究柴尔德的主要学术成果,证明他是过程考古学的先驱。     

柴尔德与20世纪90年代的关系(摘译)

炊格尔在章中考察了柴尔德学术思想的适应范围、创造性和局限,他认为柴尔德为二十世纪的三次主要的考古学运动：历史化、过程和后过程,都作出了重要的贡献,并在某种程度上预见了过程论和后过程论考古学最新的观点。他是历史化考古学的一个奠基人和主要的倡导,并促进了政治和经济研究方法的开辟。     

试析柴尔德1930年之前的考古学文化见解

作为20世纪伟大的考古学家之一,柴尔德于1930年之前建立起的文化-历史研究方法是在人文社会科学思想经典中的综合与突破,同时也成为其所处时代的考古学研究范式,影响深远。柴尔德构建的欧洲史前年代学框架,以及东方传播论观点等考古学文化见解在1930年之前便已深深扎根于他的研究体系中,并且成为其日后构建宏大阐释模型的重要基础。     

柴尔德与王振铎关于河南辉县琉璃阁墓中出土车制的询复信件译读

本文收录了世界著名考古学家柴尔德教授和我国著名科技史家王振铎先生进行学术交流的两封信件。参照河南辉县琉璃阁墓中出土的战国时期墓葬车马坑的考古发现,两位学者讨论了中国古代车制中有关和双辕的问题。本文作者对这两封信件涉及的内容做了相应的诠释。     

为史前考古学带来一场变革的杰出论著——柴尔德经典代表作补读

正值柴尔德去世50周年之际,上海三联书店将翻译出版他的系列经典著作,具有纪念和学习的双重意义。对于一般的考古学家来说,在其身后50年的遗作大概只剩下历史价值了。但是,当我们在阅读柴尔德在半个多世纪之前写的著作时,仍然可以体会到其巨大的魅力和深邃的洞察力。而在国际上,虽然1960年代欧美的新考古学变革已使柴尔德所倡导的文化历史考古学范例成为历史的过客,     

土著人的历史与澳大利亚考古学——论澳大利亚史前考古学(上)

本文认为,澳大利亚考古学研究在过去的30年中经历了剧烈的变化,新的热点问题以及新的研究领域(仍在形成之中)已经开始从根本上改变其研究内容和研究方向。这些问题说起来相当宏观(且有争议)。下面我将阐述和分析这些变化。首先我要指出,现在的史前考古学家和澳大利亚其它学者的研究中存在着两个基本问题。其一,考古学家们与土著人眼中的土著文化是否不同?如果是,那么这两种思维(无论是分别的还是结合的形式)能否被融入澳大利亚社会,成为笼统意义上的澳大利亚文化?或者只有考古学家们(或土著人)的思维流传下去?其二,就融合而言,如果在这个大…

澳大利亚民族认同的演进

澳大利亚民族形成的过程表现为移居澳洲的英国移民由“澳大利亚英国人“逐渐演变为澳大利亚人。这起源于他们对权利的追求,进而使得权利认同取向发生变化,即由英国转向澳大利亚。英国政府对此具有举足轻重的作用。这是澳大利亚现代化发展中的重要内容之一。     

剖析19世纪澳大利亚民族认同

澳大利亚民族的生成与发展进程表现为英国移民的观念及身份由“澳大利亚英国人”演变为“澳大利亚人”的本土化。导致这种演变的内在因素是这些移民的民族认同取向由英国渐变为澳大利亚,进而形成诸多澳洲化的特有性,主要内容包含有社会权利、“白澳”意识、母国情结、经济利益等方面。这一演变过程进行于19世纪期间。     

文化历史考古学述评

本文是对文化历史考古学的一个全面的回顾和评价,这种方法是20世纪上半叶国际考古学家普遍采用的方法,现在仍然为我国大部分学者所实践。正如本文所指出,这种考古学方法的宗旨和要义是后来才定义的,当时欧美的考古学家和当下我国大部分考古学家觉得这就是干考古唯一正统的方法,极少自称为文化历史考古学家     

Look the Other Way: Dealing with Child Sexual Abuse Outside of Institutions in 1980s Australia

The Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse has provided a depth of knowledge about sexual assault within institutions, highlighting the multiple ways that adults failed to protect victims. This article will show that this elision of responsibility towards children also occurred outside of institutions. It argues that many key players – including doctors and other professionals – did not step up to protect victims, and that the Australian community continued to ignore, overlook or discount evidence of abuse. Outside of institutions, it was easier to look away than to deal with the horrors of sexual violence against children.     

Catholic Child Migration Schemes from the United Kingdom to Australia: Systemic Failures and Religious Legitimation

Between 1938 and 1956, an estimated 1,147 children were sent from the United Kingdom to Australia through child migration initiatives delivered by Catholic organisations. Whilst experiences of child migrants varied, there has been a growing public recognition over the past thirty years of the trauma experienced by many. Although the suffering of child migrants occurred in the context of wider policy failures, this article argues that there was a particular pattern of systemic failures characteristic of these Catholic schemes. After providing an overview of the complex organisational structure through which Catholic child migration operated, the article identifies six systemic failures in this work relating both to organisational processes and the institutional conditions to which child migrants were sent. It goes on to argue that these occurred in a framework of religious legitimation which emphasised the unique role of the church as a mediator of salvation, the need to safeguard children's faith, the child as a member of a corporate body more than as an individual and the relative moral authority of the church over secular institutions. Within this framework, these systemic failures were either unrecognised or seen as tolerable in the context of wider organisational and theological priorities.

Intrastate federalism in Australia

The article applies a distinction often used in the study of Canadian federalism—intra‐versus interstate federalism—to the Australian federal system. The intrastate federalism model focuses on the representation of state, regional and local interests directly within central government institutions. On the surface the model appears to have little applicability to Australia. However, the examination of selected Commonwealth institutions and arenas, primarily the cabinet and party system, indicates that intrastate practices may in fact be much more pronounced in Australia than what is generally supposed. There are networks of influence at work outside the confines of standard intergovernmental arenas, networks that at times can be used to advantage by state governments or by state or local interests, at other times by the Commonwealth to enhance centralised control or even to undermine the status of state governments as legitimate actors within the Australian federal system.
