从杭州地区看市场的近代嬗变

本截取杭州地区近代市场嬗变这一时空个案,拟通过地域性的探微,以加深对杭州地区近代市场嬗变具体情况的理解。从全国范围说,中国市场经历了从传统市场向近代市场嬗变的历程,而杭州地区又有其地域特色。明清时期杭州地区的市场发育程度相对较高,到了近代,在外国冲击提供了“历史前提”的条件下,市场逐步发生了近代性的变迁,传统市场遂逐步向近代市场嬗变。本准备从近代市场嬗变的具体指标上勾勒出杭州地区市场嬗变的粗略表象,以再现其嬗变概貌。

近代商业与高阳土布业的兴衰

学界一般认为,传统商业对农业的发展有促进意义,在中国尤为如此.至近代,随着传统商业的近代转型,对中国近代工业的促进、引导作用日趋明显,近代商业资本不断投向近代工业,推动着中国近代工业的嬗变.近代河北高阳织布业的发展即是一个典型例子.     

跨文化融合:中国近代教堂艺术的本土化嬗变

中国近代教堂艺术的本土化嬗变,主要表现在建筑传统、民俗文化等对外来教堂建筑坐向、装饰与形式等方面。中国近代基督教教堂艺术的本土化嬗变,绝不仅仅是形式的变化,本质上是异质文化相互融合的必然结果。不同文化的融合取决于当地文化对外来文化的有目的有取舍的吸收,即能为我所用的自觉接受。中国传统文化、中国现实生活、中国乡土民俗,必然要对外来的基督教文化和教堂艺术产生一定的影响。     

“夷夏之辨”之近代嬗变

中国近代社会思潮空前活跃,传统思想观念的变化始之于"夷夏之辨"。"夷夏之辨"近代嬗变的因素可分为内外两方面:中国社会内部早已滋生的促使旧观念变化的因素和来自西方文明的冲击。一是从"夷"到"洋"称谓以及涉外事务从"夷务"到"洋务"的变化,反映了对传统的"华尊夷卑"、"吾闻用夏变夷者,未闻变于夷者也"思想的纠误,以及中国人对西方列强的重新定位。二是从"宗藩体制"到"条约外交"的转变,传统的"华夏中心论"、"华夷朝贡体系"等观念走向没落。三是具有近代意义的大民族观的萌生与形成实质上反映了中国人的文化自省过程。     

追寻逝去的年俗记忆——上海小校场年画述略

早期上海小校场木版年画,深受苏州桃花坞年画影响,店铺多为仿冒桃花坞的作品。清末民初,小校场石印年画以其题材新颖、色彩艳丽、物美价廉而盛极一时,木版年画开始走向尾声。而月份牌年画的出现,又开创了中国年画史上一个特殊的辉煌时期。正是近代西方印刷技术的传入,彻底改变了中国年画的命运。上海小校场年画的嬗变,清晰地呈现了传统年画消亡的历程。     

从钟鼓楼到标准钟:近代中国城市公共报时装置之嬗变北大核心

全球史视野下,近代中国的时间使用经历了标准化、全球化的转型,为城市提供公共时间测报装置的钟鼓楼,也经历从被动接受西式钟楼到主动装设标准钟的嬗变。晚清时期西式钟楼的营建,多是西方时间文化产品和电报通讯技术输出的结果;而民国时期广州、上海、北平等城市主动装设标准钟,则是融入全球化潮流后的自觉适应和自主选择。论析全球化进程中时间使用的共同特征与近代中国的特殊现象,不仅是一项能够将全球史与国别史结合的微观史研究,也是透视近代中国如何融入全球互联、互通及互动的时空秩序的窗口。     

从上海与北方关系的演变看环渤海经济崛起

上海开埠以后,在成为全国最大对外贸易口岸的过程中,把北方变成了它的间接经济腹地,带动了北方经济的外向化。进入20世纪以后,环渤海港口城市的直接辐射作用得到加强,促使该地区的直接对外贸易迅速发展,经济现代化水平迅速提高,并迫使上海的有效辐射范围从北方逐步向长江流域退缩。直接龙头取代间接龙头,是近代区域经济发展的内在规律和必然结果。它加速了环渤海经济的崛起,不利于上海经济的更好发展。

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. The Deqen Tibetan Ethnic Group Autonomous Prefecture, founded in September 1957, is the only Tibetan autonomous prefecture in Yunnan Province but one of 10 in the
