A Workshop on European Peasants

Art critics and scholars have puzzled over the behavior of Pablo Picasso, Gerhard Richter, and Sigmar Polke, three important modern painters who have made frequent and abrupt changes of style. In each case, assuming this behavior to be idiosyncratic, the experts consequently failed to recognize its common basis. But stylistic versatility is in fact often a characteristic of conceptual innovators whose ability to solve specific problems can free them to pursue new goals. This contrasts sharply with the practice of experimental artists, whose inability to achieve their goals often ties them to a single style for an entire career. The phenomenon of the conceptual innovator who produces diverse innovations is an important and new feature of twentieth-century art; Picasso was the prototype, and he has been followed by a series of others, from Marcel Duchamp and Francis Picabia to Bruce Nauman and Damien Hirst. Versatility has furthermore been a characteristic not only of modern painters but also of conceptual innovators in other arts, and of conceptual scholars. Recognizing the common basis of this behavior deepens our understanding not only of twentieth-century art but also of human creativity more generally, for it adds a dimension to the contrast between conceptual and experimental innovators.     

敦煌藏文本《金光明祈愿文》研究

《金光明祈愿文》在吐蕃时代单独流通,受到信徒重视,是当时流传较广的佛教祈愿文之一。敦煌本《金光明祈愿文》与现存藏译本《金光明经》的《梦见金鼓忏悔品》之间差异较大,不属于法成和益西德所译《金光明经》的组成部分,而是自成体系。从渊源上看,其名称中有《金光明》,应源自于《金光明经》,但应属于《金光明经梦见金鼓忏悔品》的异本。《金光明祈愿文》在吐蕃时代单独流通,受到信徒重视,是当时流传较广的佛教祈愿文之一。敦煌本《金光明祈愿文》与现存藏译本《金光明经》的《梦见金鼓忏悔品》之间差异较大,不属于法成和益西德所译《金光明经》的组成部分,而是自成体系。从渊源上看,其名称中有《金光明》,应源自于《金光明经》,但应属于《金光明经梦见金鼓忏悔品》的异本。

The Peasants Revolt of 1381 and the chronicles

This paper contains a textual comparison between the eight accounts of the events in London, June 1381. It reveals a close interrelationship between these accounts, and the author therefore provides a new evaluation of their reliability as a source for the events of the revolt. A stemma is proposed which, among other things, shows that the Anonimalle chronicle should be regarded as a secondary compilation.

资深“藏漂”画家余友心

革命根据地新富农问题研究

在抗日根据地和解放区,中共领导下的人民民主政权,实施新民主主义经济政策,农村中的封建土地制度被消灭或削弱,农民个体经济得到发展,一部分原来的中农甚至贫雇农在抗日民主政权的扶助下,辛勤劳动。努力经营,上升为新富农。这是新民主主义社会中的一种新的经济形式。它的出现和发展,对于打消动摇封建土地所有制后农民发展生产的顾虑,鼓励他们劳动发家,对于克服根据地由于战乱和敌伪封锁造成的经济困难,起了积极的作用。在抗日战争时期,中共对新富农经济采取鼓励其发展的政策。在解放战争时期进行土地改革的过程中,对新富农的政策一度发生动摇,但很快得到纠正。
