The Writing on the Wall: The Concealed Communities of the East Yorkshire Horselads

This paper examines the graffiti found within late 19th and early 20th century farm buildings in the Wolds of East Yorkshire. It suggests that the graffiti were created by a group of young men at the bottom of the social hierarchy—the horselads—and was one of the ways in which they constructed a distinctive sense of communal identity, at a particular stage in their lives. Whilst it tells us much about changing agricultural regimes and social structures, it also informs us about experiences and attitudes often hidden from official histories and biographies. In this way, the graffiti are argued to inform our understanding, not only of a concealed community, but also about their hidden history.     

Is Lévi-Strauss Still Good to Think?

The centenary of Claude Lévi-Strauss' birth, and his death shortly afterwards, have generated a spurt of publications ranging from biographies to collections of essays to unpublished works. Some of these works dwell on his worldview, his preoccupations with globalization, overpopulation, and the environment, albeit in ways that reflect the poverty of his sociological analysis. Reappraisals of his structural approaches to the study of kinship, myth, and aesthetics are more relevant to contemporary approaches in anthropology, especially those that stress his paradoxical wedding of primary sensuous experience to abstract patterns of thought.     

House time: Neolithic settlement development at Racot during the 5th millennium CAL B.C. in the Polish lowlands

The settlement of Racot 18 in the western Polish lowlands is used as a case study in the investigation of continued development and expansion following initial Neolithic beginnings, and in the formal chronological modeling, in a Bayesian framework, of settlement development. The site belongs to the Late Lengyel Culture of the later 5th millennium cal b.c., and represents the intake of new land following earlier initial colonization. The formally estimated chronology for the settlement suggests individual house biographies spanned from as little as a generation to over a century; distinctive substantial buildings from late in the sequence may have lasted longest. Racot 18 is compared to its formally modeled context of the later 5th millennium cal b.c.     

Pushing Boundaries in Oral History Based Biographies

The author comments on three preceding articles, two by authorsof oral history–based biographies (Sandy Polishuk's biographyof Julia Ruuttila and Catherine Fosl's biography of Anne Braden)and a third by their editor, Deborah Gershenowitz. The authoracknowledges the constraints imposed on the authors of oralhistory–based biographies, both by the refusal of biographicalsubjects to discuss certain matters and by the necessary honingthat editors undertake. While granting the need for author-subjectand author-editor negotiations and revisions, the author (ofthis commentary) insists on the value of pushing boundariesin oral history–based biographies and finds encouragementin the process of dialog, negotiation, and compromise that improvedthe books under consideration.     

Depleted uranium

Abstract

This paper presents a quantitative and qualitative biographical analysis of Nobel prize laureates in physics over the first hundred years of the award. For the quantitative analysis a set of data has been collected from the laureates' biographies, which is used to characterise their education and professional careers. Such an analysis of the biographies of Nobel laureates provides interesting information about the structure and politics of scientific research. Statistical evaluation of the data is of interest from the viewpoint of research and educational policy, and may also be useful for further science historical analysis. In the qualitative analysis, special features of the laureates' biographies are highlighted, with the aim of providing insights into their scientific motivations and the development of their careers.     

Biographies of Place: The Joiners' Workshop at Harewood,West Yorkshire

Abstract

The joiners' workshop within the Harewood Estate was established in the second half of the 18th century by Edwin Lascelles (1712–95), as part of his improvements of the estate landscape. A recent buildings survey of the joiners' workshop is integrated with extensive estate records, creating a biographical account of the structure that relates to three perspectives of the building: of those who designed, built and laboured within the workshop space. The building accumulated social meaning and became entwined in the biographies of people whose daily lives, structured by work on the estate, were inscribed into the standing fabric through the fittings, layout and apparatus.     

关于人物入志的探讨

人物是地方志书要认真记述的重要内容。人物入志是发挥地方志书资治、教化、存史功能的需要,是社会各界人士了解人的作用的需要。人物入志的基本做法有：为去世的重要人物立传入志,为在世的重要人物写简介入志,列各类型的人物表入志,随党政部门、企事业单位、乡镇机构内容记述历任正职领导姓名。记述人物要注意解决记述内容见事不见人的问题;解决为在世人物立传的问题;解决人物入志范围过宽的问题;解决写人物简介和人物传略界限不清问题;解决记述人物出现错漏问题;解决人物传、人物简介排序混乱的问题;解决领导人照片入志存在的问题。     

The Neoconservatives and the Pope: Misreading John Paul II in George Weigel's Biographies

With the recent release of his autobiographical narrative of the composition of the papal biography, Witness to Hope, prominent Catholic neoconservative George Weigel has invited a reexamination of the presentation of John Paul II to the world by Catholic neoconservatives. In his biographies, George Weigel crafts an often misleading portrait of Pope John Paul II as the pope of American liberalism and neoconservativism. Ironically, at the same time, the story of Weigel's biographies contains the story of the rise and fall of the Catholic neoconservative movement in America.     

陆奎勋与《明史》修纂考述

陆奎勋于雍正元年(1723年)参修《明史》,随后四年,他撰成《明史拟传》五卷。陆奎勋《明史拟传》较王鸿绪《明史稿》有四大特点:一、增补史料,扩充内容。二、纠谬订误,辨正史事。三、润色辞章,语句精炼。四、评价人物,直舒其意。殿本《明史》因袭或参考《明史拟传》,陆奎勋对《明史》修纂的贡献功不可没。     

两晋史官制度与杂传的兴盛

较之魏晋六朝的其它时期,两晋杂传的创作十分兴盛。著作郎为“清官”的性质,使其受到贵族与寒族士人的共同青睐。特别是两晋“著作郎始到职,必撰名臣传一人”的史官制度,为寒微士人凭借文史著述之才进入仕途打开了一个门径,激发了寒士们对人物别传的创作热情,由此导致了两晋杂传的大量涌现。     

Twisted Lives: On the Temporality and Materiality of Biographical Presences

People??s biographies are dominated by a multitude of factors. In recent years it has come to a general understanding that people??s life histories are embedded in things just as things are premising the biographies of people. Still, the scholarly discussion has concentrated heavily on individual biographies resulting in life-histories of bodies and individuals confined by their bodily framework rather than conceptualizing the person through the mutual interaction between people and things and the interrelationship between various presences in the revelation of the temporality and materiality of biography. In this paper I aim to explore the category of personal biography resting upon aspects of Heideggerian philosophy. I argue for biographical presences that are spread across time, subjected to shared participation and intrinsically intertwined with the narratives they generate. The argumentation rests upon my personal involvement with the biography of a seventeenth-century peasant from the farm Búearárbakki in southern Iceland. The site and its material culture have emerged as the cause and consequence of our shared life-histories manifesting the notion of multi-temporality and materiality to the category of biography.

文本话语与行为规范:西藏宗教人物传记的史学史意义

From the perspective of historical anthropology, this article examines a great deal of the biographies of religious figures in Tibetan history, reveals their special way of writing, classification, and circulation. In Tibetan Buddhism, biographies of religious figures are considered as a subject’s demise (lung-rgyun) and have their special meanings. They are the text of the largest quantity in the historical works of Tibet and had great influence on Tibetan historiography. A comprehensive research on their cultural characteristic, historical evolvement and historical influence will help us understand the Tibetan culture in depth. __________ Translated from Shixueshi Yanjiu 史学史研究 (Journal of Historiography), 2007, (4): 67–77     

勿用人物简介变相为生人立传

人物简介记在世人物是变相为生人立传,不符合生不立传原则。记在世人物应用以事系人法,在行文中记下密切相关的人和事迹;也可以入人物表、人名录,或在编章中集中较完整地记人。     

从三篇阿格西劳斯传记的差异看奈波斯与普鲁塔克对西方传记史学的贡献

由于古典学术传统中对历史与传记在体裁上的区分,奈波斯、普鲁塔克的传记往往被视为不具备史学性质的作品,而在历史研究中受到忽视。对色诺芬、奈波斯和普鲁塔克的三篇阿格西劳斯传记的比较显示,奈波斯和普鲁塔克的成果实际上代表了共和末期和帝国初期传记文学向传记史学发展过程中的过渡阶段,在传记作品的史学化过程中扮演了重要角色。他们在西方史学史上的贡献理应得到当代史学家们更多的重视。     

Collective Biography and Europe’s Cultural Legacy

From the 1990s onwards there has been growing interest in the study of biography. As opposed to those who are skeptical of the biographical method, we defend the historiographical importance of collective biographies by contrasting them with biographical collections. By discussing the historical background of biography as a branch of history, and by focusing on the aims, methodology and outcomes of collective biographies, we attempt to show how they both extend and deepen our concept of historical research.
