对于原生态民俗的理解

民俗,即民间风俗,指一个国家或民族中广大民众所创造、享用和传承的生活文化。民俗是人民群众在社会生活中世代传承、相沿习成的生活模式,它是一个社会群体在语言、行为和心理上的集体习惯。是经社会约定俗成并流行、传承的民间文化模式,是一种文化的积淀。民俗不仅仅是一种民间自我传承的文化事象,还是一个民族自由表达情感、展现独特精神风貌和世界观的一种行为方式。

四川汉代画像与汉代信仰民俗

“民俗是一个民族或社会群体在长期的共同生产实践和社会生活中逐渐形成并世代相传的一种较为稳定的化事象(即事物和现象),是区别该民族与他民族、这个社会群体与那个社会群体的重要依据之一。”民俗根据不同标准可分为不同种类,我国学把一般的民俗分为经济民俗、社会民俗、游艺民俗和信仰民俗四类。信仰民俗就是人们在长期的历史发展过程中所形成的“对某种观念、意识、主张的极度信服与尊重,并以此作为自己思维和行为的准则”的习俗,即对某种“事象”的崇拜习俗。民俗具有传承性,同时又有变异姓,信仰民俗也不例外。但无论其怎样变化,都会留下一些痕迹,因此我们可以通过考     

青海汉俗的建构特色及意蕴

民俗是一种人类群体(民族、氏族、部落等)的文化现象。作为一个民族群体文化的重要组成部分,它既与该民族的群体文化具有整体统一性,同时又有其有别于该民族其他文化形态的标志性:它既是历史的传承性——因为它是在千百年历史的长河中形成的,又有其时代断面的标志性;它既是民族群体风俗习惯的共性稳定体,又是容易受地域、环境、气候、交通乃至周边其他民族习俗影响的个性     

藏彝走廊多民族共生格局与民族关系研究

藏彝走廊不仅是民族学界一个重要的概念,更是以藏缅语族为主的少数民族自古生息的地域,历来民族关系复杂,区域文化较为独特。本文开展藏彝走廊多民族共生格局研究,旨在以区域为视角阐述族群和文化互动为我国民族关系发展所作的贡献,同时也对该区域内各民族当前的发展具有现实意义。     

民族生态旅游:保护性开发民族旅游的有效模式

旅游对目的地社会文化的影响,特别是对民族地区传统文化的负面影响,是目前学术界的一个热点问题。如何对民族旅游进行保护性开发,实现既大力发展民族地区旅游经济,同时又使优秀民族传统文化传承并动态向前发展的旅游目标,是一个亟待解决的重要课题。针对某些学者提出的生态博物馆模式,本文在分析该模式局限性的基础上,认为民族生态旅游是保护性开发民族旅游的有效模式。

民俗:人类学的视野——以甘肃临潭县端午龙神赛会为研究个案

民俗学是一门通过对历史传承的、积淀于民间的风俗、习惯、信仰与文艺等方面进行研究来认识中国传统社会的历史、文化与现时生活关联的人文科学,具有交叉学科的性质。因此,对民俗事象的研究,不能只限于从一个角度单纯地研究民俗事象本身及其源起、传承与发展的过程,而应是把民俗事象根据它们所置身的社会     

一部研究节日文化的力作——《立春风俗考》评介

节日民俗是各类民俗事象中最为人们熟知的内容。虽然对于什么是节日,即节日的概念,不同的学者有不同的观点,但大家对节日是一种与常日不同的时段的看法还是一致的,并且不否认节日都有特定的民俗活动,这些民俗活动是一种综合性的文化现象,是各种民俗事象的集中展现。正是由于节日习俗涉及到国家的政治、经济,涉及到人们的衣食住行、宗教信仰、文化艺术、社会交往和民族心理等各个方面,     

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.
