There is a substantial literature on the use of oral history in archaeology, but there has been little consideration of the
kinds of oral history and memory produced by the practice of archaeology. Through the personal narratives of a range of people
involved in excavation during the 1960s in Britain, this paper explores understandings of what has been described as an archaeological
“sub-culture”. It examines the ideas and interests that motivated peoples’ engagement in the “digging circuit” at this time,
and looks at how these were implicated in the archaeology that was produced. We argue that such accounts do not simply expose
the “subjective” context in which archaeological knowledge of these sites emerged but constitute an explicit and vital challenge
to established accounts of archaeology in Britain at this time. 相似文献

The Cripple Creek Mining District of Colorado (USA) was billed as “the World’s Greatest Gold Camp” in the 1890s and was home
to a multitude of men, women, and children who left behind a record of past consumer behavior. Examination of fourteen household
archaeological assemblages provides insight into aspects of household consumption strategies and the negotiation of socioeconomic
class relationships within the late nineteenth and early twentieth century mining communities in the American West. An analytical
approach that combines the quantitative economic scaling of ceramics and faunal remains is used in combination with the qualitative
analysis of entire assemblages to understand consumer strategies and the negotiation of class relationships between households
in the district. 相似文献

As social scientists, archaeologists have specialized ideas about what “community” entails. But the concept resonates well
beyond the scholarly realm. What did “community” mean to the people whose lives we study? What does it mean to the groups
with which we engage in the present? The answers to these questions have implications for the legitimacy of archaeologists’
claims to engage in “community archaeology.” Here, the author uses period texts—newspapers—and focus group data to explore
the contours of “community” as understood at two sites with active community archaeology programs. 相似文献

Memory has become an important area of research in historical archaeology over the last decade with an increasing focus on
retrieving the narratives of subaltern groups and painful memories of conflict, displacement and loss. Drawing on ethnographic
research, I explore how archaeological excavation provides an arena for sharing, negotiating and contesting difficult forms
of memory associated with the Highland Clearances. I argue that the Clearances involve a kind of “postmemory” revolving around
a series of iconic motifs and that this provides a framework for interpretation and action in the present. Coherence is produced
not through the “excavation” of silenced narratives, but through social processes of performance, negotiation and “composure,”
as people engage in a dialogue with past, present and future. 相似文献

Attention to human–environment relationships in the central Andes has a long history. Although the area is not a neat microcosm
of the globe, wholly representative of worldwide trends in the archaeology of human–environment interactions, it has been
the site of both seminal investigations in archaeology and a substantial body of recent work that investigates themes of broad
archaeological relevance. Specifically, central Andean environments have been variously conceived as structuring, modified,
and sacred. These approaches to some extent reflect broad trends in archaeology, while also suggesting directions in which
the archaeology of human–environment interactions is moving and highlighting archaeology’s relevance to discussions of contemporary
human–environment interactions. This article characterizes concepts that are key for describing central Andean environments
and considers the ways in which the particular ecology of the central Andes has informed archaeological research in the region.
The example of the central Andes highlights the importance of understanding environments as dynamic, considering both geomorphic
and anthropogenic contributors to that dynamism, and examining both ecological (“environment”) and ideological (“landscape”)
implications of archaeological landscapes. 相似文献

The studies of urban popular culture in modern China in recent years have attracted wide attention from scholars in China
and abroad. The symposium, which is composed by Ma Min’s “Injecting vitality into the studies of urban cultural history,”
Jiang Jin’s “Issues in the studies of urban popular culture in modern China,” Wang Di’s “The microcosm of Chinese cities:
The perspective and methodology of studying urban popular culture from the case of teahouses in Chengdu,” Joseph W. Esherick’s
“Remaking the Chinese city: Urban space and urban culture” and Lu Hanchao’s “From elites to common people: The downward trend
in the studies of Chinese urban history in the United States,” provide valuable insights on the perspective, trend, and methodology
of the studies.
Four articles of the symposium are translated by Yang Kai-chien and Jin Xueqin from Shixue Yuekan 史学月刊 (Journal of Historical Science), 2008, (5): 5–19; Joseph W. Esherick provides the English version of his article. 相似文献

In late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century America, the consumption of American-made goods was seen as an expression
of one’s patriotism and loyalty to the nation. According to a number of historical archaeological case studies, racialized
groups, such as African Americans and Chinese Americans, used consumption as a way of gaining access to the full benefits
of American citizenship typically reserved for individuals deemed “white” by law. The material culture of Mexican immigrants
living in early twentieth-century Los Angeles tells a slightly different tale. Despite being ascribed a legal whiteness, archaeological
and documentary data suggest that Mexican immigrants expressed ambivalence toward their consumption of American goods and
outright rejected the notion that exerting such buying power would lead to a broader acceptance in Anglo American society. 相似文献

This article takes the case of “rouge pot” fragments found in an archaeological context in New Orleans’ French Quarter associated
with the circa 1822 Rising Sun Hotel and investigates the discourses and desires that shape our interpretations of artifacts.
We argue that archaeological, historiographic, and public desires overlap and inform one another in a complex web of relations.
In New Orleans, the particular web into which the archaeology of cosmetic jars and hotel sites can fall is spun by the ways
in which the former French colonial capital is sexualized in both textbooks and folk songs. 相似文献

By investigating the Tang-Song examples of widows remaining chastity or inviting a jiejiaofu (second husband) into the deceased husbands’ families, this article analyzes widows’ lives and their right to inherit their
deceased husbands’ family properties. The conclusion is that widows had only “rights of management,” but not the “possessive
right,” over their deceased husbands’ properties. Moreover, the qualities of widows’ lives in their in-law’s families depended
on their relationships with the deceased husbands’ brothers. When being treated unfairly, widows often resorted to “the power
of the maternal uncle” in order to defend their benefits.

The “concealed communities” of our title are the people archaeologists have often labeled as “marginal.” Archaeologists writing
about both prehistoric and historic periods have commonly made a range of assumptions about margins and marginality, and their
discussions have often categorized marginality as ecological, economic, or socio-political. Whilst it has been common to privilege
one or other of these categories in order to explain how societies worked, they are rarely mutually exclusive. In addition,
since marginality is relative, virtually any group might be made marginal depending on people’s perspectives in the past or
present. Sometimes marginality can be imposed (economically or politically), and sometimes even actively chosen. Defining
the “margin” is a complex business, and the term needs sensitive, context-orientated use to make it useful for archaeologists. 相似文献

Modern China was an intense period of “body rebuilding.” Within the field of body history in China, the modern Chinese history
has been rediscovered and reinterpreted from the view of “body.” In this paper, the author attempts to explore the movement
of women’s haircutting in modern China and analyzes its social and political meaning from the view of body organ, gender,
politics and culture. The conclusion is that the women’s haircutting movement in modern China was involved in the pursuit
of state power, women’s rights, and political power in different levels. 相似文献

Scholars have postulated that commodity fetishism represents Marx’s theory of capitalist materiality, but the content of that
theory is contested. I offer an archaeology of Marx’s material world in order to understand the development of the concept.
During his time in London, Marx wrote and published Capital: A Critique of Political Economy (1867), in which he outlined the concept of commodity fetishism. I demonstrate that he formed his analysis of commodity fetishism
from daily practices including shopping, and consuming tobacco, in combination with his research at the British Museum. I
take an experiential approach to archaeology that foregrounds Marx living in a world of objects, and posit a relationship
between his experiences and his understanding of commodities. In so doing, I show how Marx’s “everyday life” shaped his concept
of commodity fetishism, and how this concept could be useful to historical archaeologists. 相似文献

History was an important notion in constructing an industrial capitalist society in the nineteenth century. This article deals
with the manifest use of history at the Stockholm Exhibition of 1897. At this exhibition, history was ubiquitous and was most
fully expressed in the model of medieval and Renaissance Stockholm called “Old Stockholm.” The history of nineteenth- and
twentieth-century exhibitions in general has been thoroughly studied in the field of humanities. However, the specific use
of history and space has not attracted much interest. This analysis of the model of Old Stockholm is of the first archaeological
study of remains of the great exhibitions ever to have been done. Even though the “Old Stockholm” pavilion was exceedingly
popular in the summer of 1897, only very scarce documentation has survived. An archaeological excavation of parts of the temporary
historical models, such as the “Hospital of the Holy Spirit,” showed convincing evidence of the hegemonic position which the
use of history enjoyed at the exhibition and in the nineteenth century. 相似文献

This paper explores the themes and tensions of class and propriety at one of New Zealand’s early European settlements, a Church
Missionary Society mission in the Bay of Islands. Archaeological investigations at the site of the Te Puna mission house revealed
a cellar containing, among other articles, items connected with domesticity and feminine concerns, demonstrating the presence
of women and their daily activities. The interweaving of the archaeological and historical record sheds light upon the replication
of class and culture through themes such as the “cult of domesticity” at this remote location, a decade prior to British colonization. 相似文献

In order to purify the environment in which they planned to convert, from the 1860s onwards British Missionaries in late Qing
China started to carry out anti opium campaigns. It was these campaigns that became the life work of British Medical Missionary
John Dudgeon. Dudgeon was of the opinion that it was the ferocious opium trade that was destroying the morals, traditional
culture, society, and economy of the Chinese, turning China into the West’s greatest market and in turn affecting China’s
own economic benefits. Based on his surveys made on the wards, from a medical perspective, Dudgeon announced that “an opium-smoker’s
family become extinct in the third generation.” Dudgeon drew up the “Dudgeon Plan” in the hope that Sino-British governmental
cooperation could bring about the end of the opium trade. Nevertheless, these campaigns met with stiff opposition and suppression,
and lost support from the Missionary Society. John Dudgeon’s plan was ultimately a failure. 相似文献

Despite the vast research on landscape and landscape archaeology conducted over the past decade little attention has been
given to the role of memory and imagination in people’s engagement with their ancestral homelands, “country” or other meaningful
landscape. An analysis of a range of case studies, both historical and contemporary reveal that people often feel great attachment
to and desire to engage with lands that they may have never visited or have little empirical evidence for attachment. Further
complicating this are those examples where a “heritage” landscape based on ancient homelands is constructed on the diasporic
lands of their daily lives. Understanding these imaginary landscapes offers the opportunity to take a fresh look at the relationship
between identity and landscape. 相似文献

Much of the excitement generated in Britain since 2007 by the York Archaeological Trust’s excavations of the city’s Hungate
neighborhood, which Benjamin Seebohm Rowntree characterized as a “slum” in his pioneering poverty survey of 1901, derives
from the unexpected volume and variety of material evidence uncovered about life in a poor community within a modern industrial
city. Such material evidence and its often uncertain relationships to other historical data can enhance analysis by complicating
understanding of the past, rather than echoing conventional wisdom. Findings from Hungate can thus contribute to nuanced understandings
of urban social disadvantage not only at the neighborhood level in this one particular British city, but at the larger scales
of analysis that encompass the growth of cities and interacting urban regions in Britain and around the world during the nineteenth
and twentieth centuries. These understandings have contemporary relevance for a world in which over half of humanity now lives
in urban areas, as misconceptions about “slums” continue to undermine efforts to reduce urban inequality. 相似文献

Tracing the origin and circulation of the “jargon” spoken at Canton, the paper examines how “jargon” became an issue of Sino-foreign communication conflicts in the early 19th century, and how Westerners responded to it. As a lingua franca spread extensively in the Canton trade, the so-called “jargon” (a pidgin form of patois) played an essential role as communication tool between Chinese and foreign traders. However, in the eyes of missionaries in early 19th century China, the normal Sino-foreign contact process was interrupted and distorted by both parties’ overusing of the jargon. In this regard, early Protestant missionaries’ support of Chinese language study reveals an initial effort to break through the “jargon” barrier. 相似文献

“New Woman” and “Modern Girl” discourse prevailed in China in the early twentieth century. The left-wing cinema of the 1930s
engaged in this discourse and created a filmic space in which to negotiate gender and modernity. Focusing on three films directed
by Sun Yu (1900–90): Wild Rose, Little Toys and The Highway, this paper compares Sun Yu’s new women with those in two other films: Lessons for Girls, a lesser known but interesting caricature of “new” women, and the New Woman, the best known of the “new woman” genre, both of which depict how urban, petty bourgeois women failed in their struggles
for independence. In sharp contrast, Sun Yu used poetic realism to create a series of refreshingly independent working class
women characters that successfully combined traditional moral values and modern patriotism and resisted the radical anti-traditionalism
of the new woman discourse. This paper offers a differentiated analysis of the diverse and complex ways in which China’s left-wing
cinema negotiated gender and modernity in the 1930s. 相似文献

Starting with a court debate which broke out in the spring of 1684, this essay explores the multivalent symbolism of the Kangxi
emperor’s first imperial tour to Shandong and Jiangsu provinces in the fall of 1684. Some courtiers advocated treating the
Kangxi emperor’s touring activities as a rite of conquest, while others saw them as an exercise in sagely rule and benevolent
civil governance. Here I suggest that this ritual controversy revealed a tension between civil and military values within
the political culture of the Qing court. Furthermore, this ideological tension became most acute and apparent during the Kangxi
emperor’s “eastern” and “southern” tours of 1684, when the imperial procession approached and crossed certain culturally and
symbolically significant locations. As such, we are reminded that the legitimization of Qing rule was never fully complete,
but was rather an open-ended and ongoing historical process. 相似文献
