周恩来赴印度三次规劝十四世达赖喇嘛

西藏和平解放后,1956年4月成立了西藏自治区筹备委员会,着手进行民主改革。西藏上层分裂分子大为恐惧,在西康地区发动武装叛乱。1956年11月,印度邀请十四世达赖喇嘛参加释迦牟尼涅槃2500周年大会。国外敌对势力和流亡的西藏上层分裂分子包围达赖,鼓动"西藏独立",策反随行官员,致使达赖和随行官员思想混乱并滞留印度。1956年底,周恩来在访问印度期间与达赖进行了三次谈话,阐明了党的方针政策,教育随行官员和达赖的家人,争取印度总理尼赫鲁的支持,为达赖最终安全返回西藏起到了关键作用。

20世纪初叶西藏的日本军事教官矢岛保治郎

矢岛保治郎是20世纪初叶日本入藏者中一个颇具冒险色彩的人物。他曾怀着不同的目的两度入藏,并被西藏地方政府聘请为军事教官,在西藏活动达6年之久,成为近代日本与中国西藏地方关系史中一个相当重要的人物。对他入藏经过及其在西藏的活动进行考察,不仅有助于我们对西藏近代史的研究,而且对我们认识历史上日本对我国西藏的渗透活动有所裨益。

关于古代气候研究的几点思考——以《黄淮海平原北宋至元中叶的气候冷暖状况》为例

关于古代中国气候方面的研究成果颇丰 ,但方法上仍有不尽人意之处。梅花、柑橘等与人类行为密切相关的生物物种 ,被过分强调 ,而特殊小气候下的个别现象往往被放大为普通规律。相反 ,对雨雪霜等物理现象关注不足。经常有意无意地以冬季温度来代表全年温度 ,而忽略了其他三个季节 ;对史料的理解过于片面 ,在作气候对比时出现标准的游移变换 ,论据与结论之间缺乏严密的逻辑必然性 ,运用理论时亦有随心所欲之处。这些似乎可以归结为“以论带史”所致     

Possible linkage between atmospheric total ozone and solar magnetic sector boundary passage

Superposed epoch analysis of the daily values of atmospheric total ozone at 70 stations for the period 1972–1975, with solar magnetic sector boundary passage (M.S.B.) past the earth as the key day, suggests large variations in high latitudes and larger variations in winter than in summer. Similar analysis with the day on which the boundary crossed the central meridian of the sun as key day does not reveal discernible ozone variations on the day of sector crossing. It is inferred that the link between solar activity and total ozone variation may be corpuscular radiation. A speculative hypothesis is proposed that the Mev solar Protons in the solar wind may be causing the variation in atmospheric ozone in association with the solar magnetic sector boundary passage.     

《通典·吐蕃传》的史料价值

《通典》是第一部为吐蕃设立专传的史书 ,包括三个方面的内容 :第一 ,吐蕃的族源风俗与典章制度 ;第二 ,吐蕃大事记及唐蕃关系大事纪年 ;第三 ,吐蕃大相论钦陵与唐朝使者郭元振的长篇对话及郭元振上疏文。本文认为《通典·吐蕃传》是唐代人所著唐代吐蕃史 ,可靠性更高 ,同时也保存了不少为两唐书“吐蕃传”所忽略的珍贵史料 ,值得研究者给予新的重视。     

1949～1959年美国《纽约时报》涉藏报道初探

1949～1959年,美国《纽约时报》对西藏进行了多篇报道。在对华遏制的冷战语境下,其涉藏报道带有鲜明的意识形态色彩。从西藏和平解放到1959年西藏叛乱,《纽约时报》涉藏报道的基调是以负面消息为主,丑化中央人民政府在西藏的形象,其中相关社论还对西藏事务进行舆论干涉,不但歪曲了中国的西藏政策和西藏的本来面目,也在一定程度上误导了西方公众对西藏的认知。     

元英宗谪高丽忠宣王于吐蕃原因探析

元英宗曾谪高丽忠宣王王璋于在蕃,其原因史料中虽有所记载,但语焉不详,本对此进行探析,指出：元英宗谪王璋于吐蕃,具体罪名是王璋执迷于佛教,而深层次的实质性原因则在于英宗与其祖母太皇太后答己之间的宫廷斗争,王璋是答己的亲信,成为了英宗的清除对象;王璋与宦伯颜秃古思的矛盾则是引发英宗处罚王璋的导火线。     

试论民国时期英国对中国西藏的武器供应

民国时期,英国以赠送、出售方式向中国西藏提供了大批武器,对于英国控制西藏,攫取更多权益,将西藏纳入其缓冲地带战略轨道发挥了重要作用。英国对藏武器供应成为撬动英国与中国西藏之间关系的重要杠杆。本文利用英国印度事务部档案及其他史料,对这一时期英国向中国西藏武器供应的时间、种类和数量做了澄清,并论述了其性质。     

The Case of Mister X (Formerly Miss X): Intersexuality in Modern Kenya and the Ethics of History Writing (c. 1940-present)

Relying on fragmented archival records, this article examines the life of Mr X – an intersex Kenyan – who was raised as a girl but, after a surgical operation in London in 1968, became a man. With assistance from officials, the wealthy and well-educated Mr X received new identity documents, which recognised him as male and, in turn, preferential land access. Mr X's story makes clear the importance of class in decolonising Kenya and reveals how state power could deeply shape Kenyan lives. Indeed, the state produced most of the archival traces on Mr X's life. This history not only offers rare insight into the life of an intersex Kenyan in the mid-twentieth century, but it also raises questions about biography and historical evidence, how we piece together human stories in spite of the epistemology and erasure of the archives, and how we do so ethically. Given ethical concerns about maintaining Mr X's anonymity to protect his family from stigmatisation and discrimination, I withhold some available information. Where possible, though, I enrich the evidentiary fragments by rendering the context in detail and drawing on comparative contemporaneous accounts of intersex Kenyans. The conclusion explores contemporary Kenya's legal recognition of intersex identity and gestures to the building of a new intersex archive.     

西藏参与、认同中国"大一统"的历史及其启示

本文以唐朝和元朝时期西藏历史问题为中心,探讨了西藏地方参与、认同中国“大一统”的历史进程。认为西藏参与、认同中国“大一统”有一个持续发展、不断增强的过程;“六人种”或“六氏族”说给通过武力征服而建立起来的吐蕃王朝制造了一种合法的理论根据;元朝将西藏地方纳入中央政府行政管辖之下,为西藏地方认同中国大一统奠定了坚实的基础,具有划时代的意义,实现了元朝中央和西藏地方之间的相互认同;由八思巴《彰所知论》开创的大一统理论在有关藏、汉、蒙和门巴为一母所生兄弟的传说中得以具体展示,是元朝西藏地方认同中国大一统的真实写照,标志着西藏对大一统中国认同过程的基本完成。在中国多民族统一国家的形成和发展过程中,边疆民族也做了巨大的贡献。
