南朝的谱学与政治

南朝谱学是南朝史学的一个重要组成部分,它较为突出地反映了史学与政治的密切关系。门阀政治深刻地影响着南朝谱学的发展,反之,谱学也成为门阀士族维护其特权政治的工具。南朝谱学的政治功用是它一个突出的时代特点,表现出很强的姓氏与地望相结合的姓族特征。同时,南朝谱学与南朝的选官、婚姻有看密切的内在联系。     

Scottish Historical Archaeology: International Agendas and Local Politics

Historical archaeology as practiced in Scotland is divergent from the mainstream tradition of historical archaeology/post-medieval archaeology that dominates North America and the English-speaking world. Cultural and historical forces have shaped an historical archaeology with a deeper time depth, which extends back into the Middle Ages. It also focuses on different subjects reflecting the political concerns associated with Scottish national identity. Examples drawn from Glasgow’s history are used to illustrate the distinctiveness of the Scottish tradition and how it is evolving. I argue that one of its strengths of Scottish historical archaeology is that it provides a corrective contrast to the subjects and approaches which dominate historical archaeology in the English-speaking world.     

Politics and the Cultural Landscape: The Case of Aboriginal Land Rights

In this paper Aboriginal land rights are analysed from the perspective of a disadvantaged group seeking access to a scarce resource controlled by external agents. The Aboriginal participants in land rights politics are found to be actively seeking ways in which their interest in the land can most effectively be communicated to external groups which have constructed well-formed, but often distorted images of what constitutes a genuine Aboriginal interest in the land These externally constructed notions of Aboriginality and what constitutes a valid land claim are influencing the concepts used by Aboriginal groups in the public political arena to demonstrate their unique interest in the land In this paper three examples of this process are explored- the emphasis of a specific gender model, the emphasis on spatially discrete sacred sites and the emphasis on the bounded tribal territory.     

For the Community: Scottish Historical Archaeology and the Politics of Land Reform

In Scotland, land reform is, historically and still today, a defining political issue and a subject of debate. Central to this debate are different ideological understandings of the rural past. In this paper, I discuss the nature of the Scottish land question and explore several of the main—sometimes complementary, sometimes conflicting—ideologies concerning land, as put forward or supported by different constituencies: politicians; landowners; crofters; Scots more generally; and members of the Scottish diaspora. I consider the histories to which these ideologies relate and seek to locate the historical archaeology of rural Scotland in its political and social contexts.     

The Politics of Superannuation in Australasia: Saving the New Zealand Standard of Living

Support for retired individuals is one of the key policy issues facing governments throughout the OECD. The need for a long-term approach to the issue of retirement saving is well established. New Zealand and Australia have adopted different approaches to retirement saving. Two primary differences exist in retirement saving policy – New Zealand offers little in the way of incentives and there is no compulsion; conversely, Australia provides highly concessionary tax incentives and a mandatory occupational retirement savings scheme exists. This paper offers suggestions on how and why two countries that typically approach policy issues from a similar direction have adopted such different attitudes to the topic of retirement saving.     

Identity Politics and the Religious Right: Hiding Hate in the Landscape

Identity theory has had important theoretical implications for analysis of political action, but has tended mostly to examine identity formation and political action on the left. Any theory concerned with eradicating oppression must also analyze identity formation and political action of groups on the right whose politics are often based on exclusion and hate. Thus the empirical part of this paper focuses on the religious right, specifically Liberty University, in Lynchburg, Virginia. The potency of the religious right lies in an identity politics which simultaneously asserts that fundamentalists are essentially different from those "of the world" but should nonetheless equate themselves politically with economic conservatives. This allows Liberty to borrow freely from the symbols and trappings of economic conservatism while blurring the hate and antagonistic othering inherent in essentialist notions of fundamentalist identity.

二十世纪《淮南子》研究

《淮南子》内容丰富,体系庞大,20 世纪的学人从各个方面对其展开了不同层次的研究,取得了丰硕的成果。但是从学术史的角度对其进行一次系统的梳理,在学术界没有引起足够的重视。因此本文尝试从具体的史料分析和归纳总结中,客观地展现出《淮南子》研究的时代特色和鲜明的自身特点来,希望为未来《淮南子》的研究寻找新的视野、开拓更宽广的学术平台。     

Living with Heritage: The Potentials of and Pressures on the Heritage Landscape of Gwollu,Upper West Region,Ghana

Abstract

The impact of development has been identified as one of the most pressing concerns in heritage management in Africa. At the same time, heritage has also been recognized as having the potential to bring tourists, and thus growth, to local economies. Communities that wish to benefit from the latter have to balance developmental pressures against the preservation of heritage, and various sectors of the community may view these priorities differently. In this paper, I discuss some of the potentials of, and pressures on, the heritage landscape of Gwollu, a town in Ghana's Upper West Region. I use Gwollu's brickmakers as a case study to illustrate the small-scale everyday development that can have a lasting impact on a town's heritage resources, and how internal divisions within communities may affect the heritage tourism process.     

南朝青瓷罐中的古钱及其相关问题

2003年,笔者从一朋友处获得一件青瓷器(插五)。据说这件青瓷系其父早年在湖州本地开挖土机时所得。这是一件六朝中后期南朝时的青瓷六系(桥形系,其中二系早残)小罐,以其釉色、造型及胎体的情况来看应属于南方这一时期的典型器。按理说毛口残系,腹无纹饰的这么一件青瓷本无特别之处,但是如果其腹中盛有同一时期的古钱,则情况又当别论了。针对古钱而言,它似乎比其它一般的伴出物更能说明某些问题。这件青瓷六系小罐,其高85mm,腹部最大直径处125mm,出土时其腹中藏钱至口沿(近满)。笔者先前粗略地观察了这些早已与器形溶为一体且锈结较为严重的…

“南蛮蛇种”文化史

"南蛮蛇种"是周汉时代中原华夏认知中南方土著"非我族类"的一个文化特性,也是华南民族最重要的祖先图腾形态之一。厦门大学人文学院吴春明、国家广电总局王樱的《"南蛮蛇种"文化史》一文,系统收集史前、上古华南考古发现的岩画、器物、雕塑等大量的蛇形象资料,再现自远古以来百越等土著先民敬蛇、崇蛇的"蛇种"文化渊源。作者还结合汉文史籍所见汉唐以来东南地区广泛存在的蛇神祭祀、蛇神禁忌的历史,以及民族志上黎、壮、侗、傣、排湾、鲁凯、畲、苗等族和华南汉人社会遗留的蛇图腾、蛇崇拜形态,阐明了"南蛮蛇种"图腾文化史,尤其是汉化背景下蛇文化的变迁史,通过"蛇种"文化的特殊镜像,追溯了"南蛮"土著民族的一段历史。     

周大夫家父《节南山》创作时世考

周幽王骊山之难,标志着西周王朝历史的终结,开启了天王宜臼与携王余臣"二王并立"的特殊政治格局,拉开了我国春秋史悲壮的帷幕.史官用记史方式"实录"这一历史性剧变,启迪后人知古而鉴今;诗人以自己的艺术笔触,形象地再现了自己的痛苦经历,表达了他们对周幽王黑暗政治怨怒之愤和对西周王朝覆灭的哀挽之情,并对此作了痛苦而又深刻的反思,以警策后人.周大夫家父的《节南山》就是其中的代表作之一.
