True exchanges or thought crime?

Academic boycotts are obnoxious weapons that imperil the principle of freedom of expression and intellectual exchange and people who advocate an academic boycott of Israel open themselves to charges of hypocrisy and mendacity.     

“Over our dead bodies”: Placing necropolitical activism

Analysing a struggle between Palestinian campaigners and Israeli authorities over an ancient Muslim cemetery in Jerusalem, this paper explores the role of necrogeography in contesting urban boundaries, asserting historical legitimacy and realizing emancipatory spatial practices. The article bridges an existing gap between the geographical study of death spaces, and the necropolitical realities of conflict in late modernity. The case-study analyses one arena of contemporary urban geopolitics of death in Israel–Palestine, and the myriad of factors that shape its dynamics of struggle and power relations. The article argues that the multiple avenues of nuanced and creative political action found in necrogeographical research over the past two decades offers a lived alternative to the politics of despair that often dominates the prevailing conceptualizations of necropolitics.     

东京审判:中国学界的观察与思考

东京审判作为与中国近代史、中国人民的民族感情和历史记忆息息相关的重要事件,引起中国学界的广泛关注和高度重视。无论与纽伦堡审判的对比研究,还是兼及盟国境内其他审判的综合性研究;无论东京审判相关史料收集、整理与出版,还是从历史学与国际法角度的学术探讨,都反映了不同时期国际关系、时代环境对东京审判研究的影响与制约。随着东京审判外文史料的公开与出版,如何充分利用这些丰富的外文史料,进一步拓宽研究思路和研究领域,不断汲取外国学者的既有研究成果,加强中外学者的对话和开展"共同研究",或将是东京审判研究的一个发展方向。

略论清初的学术史编写

清初顺康时期 ,经历了鼎革之变的理学士人从不同的角度进行深入的反思和总结 ,写下达 2 6种之多的学术史著作。诸多学术史作者以强烈的社会危机感、学术危机感和深沉的历史反思意识 ,总结了自先秦孔孟至宋明以程朱陆王为代表的理学、心学的源流发展及利弊得失 ,从学术层面探讨了社会治乱兴衰的缘由 ,并在写作体例上突破旧模式 ,涌现出像黄宗羲《明儒学案》一类的上乘学术史佳作 ,从而把中国学术史研究推进到一个新的水平。此期学术史著作初步展示了调和程朱陆王与扬朱抑陆两个不同的思想倾向 ,为清中后期学术思想的发展变化做了重要铺垫。这些表明 ,宋明以来流行的理学尽管在此时已呈衰势 ,但仍然是学坛的主流派别 ,具有一定的生命力 ,甚至在较长的时间里还保持着相当的优势地位     

鲁宾逊新史学派的治学风格和分野

鲁宾逊新史学派在治学风格上具有一些共同的特点 :积极入世的态度 ;扩大历史研究的范围 ,扩充研究的方法 ;重视史料的搜集 ,又强调历史的解释。同时其成员之间也存在着差异和分歧 :他们研究的重点是不同的 ;对待历史解释方法的态度存在着差异 ,由其对待马克思的态度可见一斑 ;在鲁宾逊晚年特别是在谢世之后 ,学派内部发生了根本性的分歧 ,分歧主要是围绕历史学的新旧划分的合理性和采用什么样的方法研究历史展开的     

晚明书院结群现象研究--东林书院网络的构成、宗旨与形成

晚明书院以东林为最著,而东林从来不是一个独立孤立的书院,环绕在它附近有一大批书院和文会。从而在环太湖沿岸的吴中地区形成一个书院网络。这一网络以克服无善无恶论为其宗旨,以讲会为最常用的联结方式。书院网络的形成过程实际上也是东林学派的形成过程,是个人治学手段泛化为群体思维方式的过程。

Academic travel from Cambridge University and the formation of centres of knowledge, 1885–1954

This paper draws attention to academic travel as a key issue in the geographies of knowledge, science and higher education. Building upon recent work in science studies and geography, it is argued that academic travel reveals the wider geography of scientific work and thus of the knowledge and networks involved. By examining academic travel from Cambridge University in the period 1885 to 1954, the study clarifies its role in the development of Cambridge as a modern research university, the emergence of global knowledge centres elsewhere and the development of an Anglo-American academic hegemony in the twentieth century. Using unpublished archival data on all recorded applications for leave of absence by Cambridge University Teaching Officers, it is further explored how the global geographies of academic travel varied among different types of work, thereby exposing distinct hierarchies of spaces of knowledge production and sites of study.     

Student activism, mental health, and English-Canadian universities in the 1960s

Student mental health services were created at many American universities during the interwar years in association with the mental hygiene movement of that era. In Canada, psychologists and psychiatrists became focused on the well-being of schoolchildren during this period, but services for university students were minimal or non-existent at most institutions until well after the Second World War. Influenced by American trends and in tune with rising public concern over the problems students were experiencing on Canada's burgeoning campuses, student organizations, in co-operation with the Canadian Mental Health Association, began a concerted campaign for improved services in the early 1960s. Through conferences, seminars, and surveys, they revealed the extent of student distress, and by 1965 their efforts were attracting increasing media attention and having a direct impact on university student health policies. Their campaign then entered a new phase, transformed by the same radicalization that infused the wider student movement in the wake of the Berkeley free speech protests. Dissatisfied with the institutional response and distrustful of the motives behind the services now provided, activists questioned the very meaning of 'mental health' in the context of their deeper critique of the university and society. By the end of the decade, the student mental health movement had run its course, but it left a lasting legacy in the ongoing reform of university health services and in attitudes towards student mental health.     

Wake up,Russia! Political activism and the reanimation of agency

When protest movements do not achieve policy outcomes, they are often considered failures. But as I learned while working with feminist and pro‐LGBT activists in Moscow's radical left, becoming a political activist may in itself be an important form of resistance to overwhelming and demoralizing power structures. During the mass anti‐Putin protests of 2011–2012, which were widely experienced as an awakening of political subjectivities, to talk with activists about what constituted “politics” was to talk about the possibility of agency in the face of what often appears to be overwhelming constraint. Activism can thus be as much a form of subjectivity work as a means of changing public policy.

也谈学术著作翻译的几个问题--就学术著作的翻译与魏良弢先生商榷

判断学术作有无学术价值的标准是：该书是否在一定程度上反映了当时时代的思想和当时社会的要求,是否产生过较大的影响．并且对今人的研究有一定的意义。翻译作中学术译名的统一只能是相对的。史学评论必须提倡优良的作风,高尚的德,实事求是的评述才会使评论成为促进史学发展的有力武器。     

Performing Academic Practice: Using the Master Class to Build Postgraduate Discursive Competences

How can we find ways of training PhD students in academic practices, while reflexively analysing how academic practices are performed? The paper's answer to this question is based on evaluations from a British–Nordic master class. The paper discusses how master classes can be used to train the discursive skills required for academic discussion, commenting and reporting. Methods used in the master class are: performing and creative arts pedagogical exercises, the use of written provocations to elicit short papers, discussion group exercises, and training in reporting and in panel discussion facilitated by a meta-panel discussion. The authors argue that master classes have the potential to further develop advanced-level PhD training, especially through their emphasis on reflexive engagement in the performance of key academic skills.     

从创造到普及:吴晗先生的学术贡献

在新史学思想主导下,吴晗致力于一种社会的、民众的新明史研究,重新选择传统政治史的问题和研究路径,开创了以明史为中心、元明清一线贯通的研究模式。吴晗最具创造性的研究主要体现在明代政治、军事、社会史方面。他不仅在这些方面开拓出对于明史研究的展开有着重要意义的新课题,而且对这些新课题进行了具有深度的研究,得到了后来学者的广泛认同。20世纪50年代,吴晗由学者变为社会教育家,全身心投入到历史普及,形成了一套关于历史通俗化和历史普及的理论和方法,成为普及历史知识的积极倡导者,为史学和社会结合树立了良好的典范。
