实践·事实·文化·教育——试论科学文化繁荣发展的基本路径

实践不仅为我们提供了所需要的物质财富,还为我们提供了文化创造的事实材料。事实作为唯一确定不变而又不受时空制约的客观实在,自然成了我们科学研究与信仰的对象。这种坚不可摧而又无影无形的"对象"是通过指号让人认识、积累和传播的,而指号就是文化的载体。人们借助指号对事实的感知和领悟,就是所有文化现象的共同本质。文化源自事实和指号不受时空制约而又确实可知的特性让教育有了意义。教育与实践的良性互动正是繁荣发展科学文化的基本路径。

英格兰 消逝的辉煌:驯氓记

上世纪60年代我刚开始看足球赛时,一切都那么简单明了.英格兰队刚刚夺得了1966年的世界杯,因此毋庸置疑是世界上最好的球队——这 是事实,句号,斩钉截铁.然后一切都不对劲了,而且没完没了.首先,我长大成人,对“国家归属感”的含义心生疑窦;而此时的英格兰足球队呢,已经没救了(但凡他们的表现稍有可取之处,我恐怕也不至于因为爱国问题而如此矛盾.)1974年和1978年的世界杯,英格兰队连决赛圈都没进去;我们在上世纪60年代有幸拥有的那些世界一流球员已经成为历史,到了80年代,整个关于爱国和足球的问题变得愈发扑朔迷离.

跟随梵高的足迹

“在这薄情的世界上深情地活着”,不仅仅只有梵高,但愿还有我们.梵高说过:终有一天,死神会把我们带往另一个星球. 梵高之于美术,就像肖邦之于浪漫乐派,贝多芬之于古典音乐,那绝对是殿堂级的.可以毫不夸张的说,几乎每个美术生心中都有一个属于自己的梵高情节.这种略带清高傲娇的情节,是内心为数不多的一块净土,是刻进骨子里,与艺术与生俱来的.而我对阿姆斯特丹的所有印象,都来自于电影《雏菊》.缤纷的

Gender and Environment: Some preliminary questions about women and water in the South Australian context

This paper speculates on three issues about the relationship between women and water, focusing on the context of South Australia, a particularly dry part of the world. First, it is suggested that gender affects our connections to environmental resources, in this instance to water. Second, it is noted that currently unexamined archival material exists for the South Australian situation and that the analysis of this material may shed light on the relationship between gender and environmental resources. Third, it is possible to argue that the conflation of nature and the feminine through such things as tropic devices in language results in both being constituted largely as corporeal, as bodies requiring management. Such a possibility suggests that a body politics exists in environmental studies and related disciplines that requires further theoretical work.     

ISOLATING CONNECTIONS – CONNECTING ISOLATIONS

The varied and distinct ways we connect can facilitate or impose isolation, our own or someone else's. Different forms of isolation are themselves interconnected and sometimes enrich our connecting. The relation between isolation and connection, we argue, is one of complementarity, like Calvino's ‘two inseparable and complementary functions of life …syntony, or participation in the world around us … [and] focalization or constructive concentration.’ Solitude sought can enhance connections. Imposed isolation weakens connections in ways both obvious and subtle. This contrast between sought and imposed underscores the influence of hierarchy and socially produced inequities, excesses of which fragment the social ties that could constrain or diminish these same inequities. Deep inequity degrades the quality of both connections and isolation, at significant costs to our health, ecology, economy, cultural diversity, and political vitality. From this vantage point, we cull ways to improve our syntony and our focalization, fulfilling by expressing those shared egalitarian moral sentiments that motivate connections of solidarity partly in the interest of being “left alone”.     

Museums as Relational Entities: The Politics and Poetics of Heritage

Over the last 40 years museums have become important sites to understand the politics and poetics of heritage management, display, and knowledge production. The books under consideration here all help demonstrate how museums as relational entities—containing dynamic relations between persons and things, as well as generating them—are emergent processes. Each work helps demonstrate why museums in their many guises remain critical terrains for the negotiation of identity, history, and culture in the push for more collaborative accounts of our world and the circulation and display of things.     

Catherine II: The Stimulation of Literature by Royal Decree

The present reflection seeks to establish the chronotope as an operating unit in the act of reading inasmuch as it strives to reconstruct the coherence of the novel's universe and to uncover the essence of things. Of the equal value is the Bakhtinian principle of dialogism, which proves propitious in rendering explicit the connections between different chronotopical units.     

Beilstein in English

Abstract

If we consider the context in which certain works of art were produced, as well as the world view of the artists themselves, we should be able to make some connections between the history of science and the history of art. We can do this partly because we have access to reproductions of pictures in all media made before photography and can make comparisons between them. Yet these same techniques for the multiplication of images flood our own daily horizons with pictures taken from their original context and often trivialised. Photography has so conditioned our way of looking at pictures that a considerable corrective effort is needed to bridge the psychological distance between our own mentality and that of the past.

The Nature of Things: Dead Labor, Nonhuman Actors, and the Persistence of Marxism

This article is about the question of social agency in the animation of things , and about how this problematic has been conceptualized in Marxist and Actor-Network Theory (ANT) approaches to human–nature–technology relations. Notwithstanding many obvious differences, we note that each tradition was founded on a radical shift to a relational ontology, a world of relations and processes and not things-in-themselves, and that each has developed, partly as a consequence of this move, analytically useful ways of investigating and talking about the work that things do, or appear to do, in the world. By relating the ANT category of non-human actors to the Marxist concept of dead labor, and by revisiting Marx's own dialectics of technology as embodied in his figure of the "living machine" in Capital , we explore the different implications of these approaches for our understandings of the nature, materiality, and the efficacy of social agents. We argue that ANT's reconfiguration of agency as a collective social and technical process—a process wherein the "nonhuman" can have very real social effects—can be deepened and given some political efficacy only if we take seriously the ontological problems of causality, accountability, and the directedness of social relations (and things) which ANT, and its wider, still evolving ethos among the social sciences and cultural studies, would have us forestall.     

世界城市体系研究的定量化趋势及其方法演化

20世纪80年代以来,世界城市体系研究受到越来越多的关注,研究内容由早期的案例研究、基于属性的世界城市排名,发展为对世界城市体系结构的定量化分析。这些变化是与城市间关系数据的日益丰富分不开的,数据的丰富也带动了世界城市体系研究方法的日益丰富与完善。本文首先回顾了世界城市体系研究的定量化发展过程,在此基础上对世界城市体系定量分析方法的演化：由社会网络分析到链锁网络模型的发展以及两种方法的讨论和完善进行了梳理,并对两种方法的异同进行了对比。最后结合中国国内相关领域的研究现状,对未来研究进行了展望。     

Disobedient objects: material readings of enclosure protest in sixteenth-century England

ABSTRACT

Responding to calls for scholars to address ‘material worlds’ in our analyses of protests past, the paper examines the more-than-human historical geographies of enclosure and enclosure protest in sixteenth-century England. It argues that negotiating enclosure – in the sense of both promoting and resisting private property rights – was dependent on particular assemblages of people, animals and things and their convergence within specific spaces and temporalities. Particular attention is paid to mundane and everyday objects entangled in enclosure protest and the ways these assemblages might transform objects’ meanings, rendering them threatening or disobedient. Moreover, repurposing these things offered opportunities to re-make space, concretising or resisting particular claims to access or possession at the local level. It contributed too to the ongoing debate out of which new concepts of property eventually emerged, so that interrogating the materialities of enclosure protest offers vital space in which to rethink the makings of our modern world.     

World cities and territorial states under conditions of contemporary globalization

This is largely an empirical paper which uses a unique set of office geography data to describe inter-city relations across the world. After identifying a set of 55 world cities, these patterns are related to states in a preliminary analyses of city–state connections. Particular emphasis is placed upon identifying trans-state processes and regional city hierarchies. This empirical reporting is sandwiched between a theoretical and practical introduction and conclusion. Using Braudel's conceptualization of capitalism as a world of monopolies, world city formation is introduced as a particular geographical knowledge nexus for creating new monopoly products. In the concluding section, the future of globalization is linked to the possibilities for world city network knowledge monopolies.
