ETHNICITY AND MATERIAL CULTURE IN ANTEBELLUM NORTH CAROLINA

Abstract

During the early to mid-nineteenth century, the expanding market revolution caused the broad distribution of a wide variety of mass-produced goods, even to frontier regions of the United States. This analysis uses the material assemblages from three contemporaneous sites (ca. 1840–50) in southwestern North Carolina that represent the households of Cherokee and white tenants and enslaved African Americans. Analyses of three distinct artifact classes suggest a homogenized material culture in which faunal remains are more illustrative than other artifact classes in identifying ethnicity.     

DIGITAL COMMUNICATION, TRANSPORTATION AND URBAN STRUCTURATION IN STUDENTS' DAILY LIFE

This article explores how the use of digital communication in distributed education influences urban students' daily life movements and communication patterns. From this point the article also discusses how the structuration of urban life interplays with the socio-spatial organization of a given city. Time-geography is used as an analytical frame for analysing the time-space of the students, wherein the intersection between the social, technical, and spatial organization of the city is the main focus of interest. The discussion shows how the use of the Internet enabled the students to sustain the basic spatial organization of their life while attending higher education. At the same time, the meaning of places in their daily life was changed through the use of the Internet, especially with respect to the students' homes. It is argued that the use of communication technology contributes to the reproduction of the socio-spatial organization of the city.

中国人口文化素质指数及其空间分异

在构建人口文化素质指数的基础上,结合我国文化教育现状,对我国近十年的人口文化素质指数进行了定量与定性分析。结果表明:我国人口文化素质指数正在快速提高,但整体水平较低;人口文化素质指数的空间差异明显,东部最高,中部次之、西部最低,低于全国平均水平的省域主要位于西部;近2/3的省域发散趋异,收敛趋同的省域不到1/3,向上发散趋异的省域主要位于东、中部,向下发散趋异的省域主要位于西部,空间差异有扩大的趋势;人口文化素质指数与人口城市化水平、经济发展水平分别存在显著的线性关系和对数关系。

西方国家历史文化旅游发展的现状和趋势

本文总结了历史文化旅游的特点。进而预测西方历史文化旅游将有如下发展趋势:1.文化吸引物的管理、筹资与营销变得更专业化;2.在全球化和区域化的背景下,政府和企业的强力推动使文化吸引物供应过剩,同时文化产业内部合作的缺乏,最终导致竞争的加剧;3.广泛运用网络、信息、虚拟等高新技术;4.必须采取新的手段来适应游客体验不断变化的特点。我们可以增加新项目、利用新主题组合旅游吸引物、举办大型城市或地方文化活动来吸引越来越多的旅游者和休闲者。     

文化与地理环境

文化与地理学

地理学对文化的探讨从未停止过。许多地理学家对文化、文化的特殊贡献以及近年来文化的发展与所遇问题产生了浓厚的兴趣。尤其是90年代以来西方地理学界对文化问题的重新认识导致了新文化地理学的出现。新文化地理的产生使文化涵盖了整个地理学科,但文化要素不能单独解释地理事象。文化有助于人们理解其选择和行为,它影响着社会、经济和政治过程。在初期阶段,新文化地理着重于对微观文化事象的研究,从而探求文化过程,但文化同时具有宏观的社会存在性,在这方面的研究有待深入。     

THE CRISIS OF CULTURE AND THE CULTURE OF CRISIS

“Crisis” in cultural policy is a widespread phenomenon, whose meaning can be exemplified in case of opera. The Berlin, Paris and London opera houses hit a crisis at the end of the twentieth century. At the core of these crises and the discussions surrounding them were funding problems – which were also a point of academic interest. But beyond that, opera seemed to be an arena of discourse where creeping conflicts in the political system and society were debated as fundamental crises of a most cherished cultural heritage. This paper examines how, in these cases, “crisis” proves to be a cultural phenomenon in itself, displaying a symbolic and functional character rather than being defined by references to specific matters and qualities.     

对台湾佛教道场旅游营造的思考

近些年,伴随中国大陆佛教文化旅游热的不断升温,寺院修缮和建设中的粗制滥造、佛教文化旅游产品单一、旅游服务质量不高等问题愈加突出。如何发挥佛教当代积极的社会功能,更好地满足游客对佛教文化的消费需求,促进佛教文化旅游活动的持续、健康发展值得深入思考。借助台湾中华发展基金会资助大陆学者赴台研究项目,笔者通过对台湾地区著名佛教道场的实地考察、调研,梳理有关台湾佛教文化的相关研究成果,与台湾学者广泛、深入地学术交流,在分析、总结、借鉴台湾地区佛教道场旅游营造的成功做法基础上,针对中国大陆佛教文化旅游中存在的主要问题,提出树立精品意识,打造当代的文化遗产;强化服务意识、提高服务水平;加强产品开发,完善旅游服务的建议。

妈祖文化与地理环境

妈祖(又称天妃、天后)及其妈祖文化,自诞生至今已千余年了,它作为中华民族文化的组成部分,源远流长,蕴含丰富。它涉及到中国的政治、经济、文化、航海、宗教、民俗、建筑等诸多方面,已有不少学者在上述方面对其进行研究。但从地理学角度来研究这个问题甚少。本文拟从地理学角度来研究妈祖文化,探讨她的形成、发展与地理环境的关系。
