An Amnesty Assessed. Human Impact on Shipwreck Sites: the Australian Case.

In 1993 a nationwide amnesty was declared in Australia, calling for members of the public who were in possession of historic shipwreck relics to declare them to their respective State cultural heritage management agencies. The amnesty was instituted in response to an amendment in the Commonwealth Historic Shipwrecks Act 1976 , which introduced 'blanket protection' for all shipwrecks and associated relics in Commonwealth waters which were at least 75 years old. This paper reports on a recent assessment of the process, consequences and implications of the amnesty, and discusses the significance of the results.

An Analysis of Arrow and String Bag Craft Variability in the Upper Sepik and Central New Guinea

ABSTRACT This paper describes an analysis of relationships between language, geography and material culture in the upper Sepik region of New Guinea. We used Mantel tests and principal coordinate analysis to assess and compare the associations between arrow and string bag crafts and language and geographical distance. The Mantel tests resulted in a significant association between each class’ craft variability and both geographical distance and language, however, after statistical control was applied to either of the independent variables only a significant association with geographical distance remained. We argue that these results indicate craft techniques were readily disseminated and that craft distributions are unlikely to reflect any deeper historical relationships between groups. The spatial autocorrelation of arrow crafts was particularly great. A comparison of the principal coordinate analysis plots indicates a greater degree of diffusion and synthesis had taken place between lowland and highland arrow craft traditions. We conclude that the more intensive learning regimes needed to master string bag craft techniques, as well as a greater degree of interdependence between string bag components, had ensured more abrupt differences between bag types resulting in a more moderate degree of spatial autocorrelation.

Citizen and Monument. The Case of the Greek Island of Naxos

Abstract

Naxos, the largest island of the Cyclades in the Aegean Sea in Greece, has been continuously inhabited from Neolithic times to the present and is full of architectural remains from all historical periods. Traditional settlements, castles, towers, numerous Byzantine and post-Byzantine churches, and several archaeological sites testify to its long and significant history.

The relationship between inhabitants and their archaeological heritage is multifaceted and of special interest. This article analyses the history of this relationship, the reasons that shaped its quality, the problems, and perspectives. It also explores the ways in which citizens, in this particular case the Naxians, participate in the protection of their monuments at a time when tourist development dominates the Naxian economy.     

Chinese Engagement with Africa: The Case of Madagascar

Using field work in Madagascar as the foundation for a case study, two U.S.-based geographers examine the complex relations developing between many African nations and the Chinese government as well as ethnic Chinese citizens and guest-workers who live and work in Africa. The study investigates changes in the perceptions of Malagasy citizens of the Chinese presence and long-term effects of Chinese investments in Madagascar's economy. Although the Chinese living in Madagascar tend to be viewed as "cut from the same cloth," the study demonstrates that there is considerable differentiation depending on the length of residence, rates of intermarriage with Malagasy citizens, and feelings toward the recent "economic" immigrants and guest workers. The paper integrates archival data with interviews involving recent Chinese guest-workers living in Antananarivo in 2011 as well as results of a systematic survey of most active French-language "blogs" dedicated to Sino-Malagasy relations, with the goal of presenting a comprehensive account of past and present Chinese influences and behavior in Madagascar.     

参展商对展馆服务的满意度研究——以上海光大会展中心为例

本文以光大会展中心为例,研究参展商对展馆提供的相关服务的满意度。在对21个原始指标进行探索性因子分析后,得出5个主要的影响因子：展馆自身硬件设施服务、展览服务商提供的服务、展馆空间位置条件、展中展馆表现、展馆平时表现。在此基础上进行结构方程建模,得出对这5个因子影响大的指标的排序,由高到低依次为展馆内的展览设施、展台搭建服务、展馆内部布局、展馆的清洁卫生和展馆运营管理。在得出各指标的推导重要性,并结合参展商直述的重要性及满意度绘制散点图进行分析后,本文提出光大会展中心需重点关注的是展台搭建服务、展览货运代理服务和展馆导向解说系统等三方面的服务。     

云雷纹的起源、演变与传播——兼论中国古代南方的蛇崇拜

云雷纹流行于商周时期,常见于青铜器。本文通过对考古资料的分析认为,这种纹样应于新石器时代起源于江苏南部,是对蛇的形象的抽象化和图案化的表现。此后这种纹样传播到浙江、湖南、湖北、山东、成都等地以及中原地区,在夏商周时期最为繁盛。然而,因时间、地域和传统历史文化背景的差异,其原来的象征意义在传播过程中渐渐模糊,成为失去内涵的形式,到汉代已基本消失。     

The Impact of Neoliberalism and New Managerialism on Development Volunteering: An Australian Case Study

Within the large volume of research on aid and development there has been limited study of international development volunteering generally and the ways in which it has been affected by neoliberalism. Development volunteering has undergone a resurgence over the past decade and some new forms of volunteering have emerged, but state-sponsored development programs are still a key form. These programs were relatively immune from neoliberal ideas and managerial practices until the early 2000s. An interesting puzzle is why neoliberal principles were operationalised in Australia's volunteering program at the same time as it, and other donor states, softened this focus in the rest of their aid program. These shifts in Australia's development volunteering programs have changed the logic, forms and outcomes of development volunteering.     

历史文本演化下的人物形象变迁:以萧山楼英传记为例

文献多有明代浙江萧山名医楼英入京为明太祖朱元璋治病的记载,但考查明清至今方志、宗谱中的楼英传记,发现这是一个在文本修饰中不断演化、加上口头传扬而形成的故事。精英阶层在楼英传记中为其"儒而未仕"进行委婉修饰,却促进了大众文化中楼英形象的"神仙化"转变,有必要通过文本回溯进行区分,慎重书写现代史志文本。     

Ceramic Technology of the <Emphasis Type="Italic">Asurini do Xingu,Brazil</Emphasis>: An Ethnoarchaeological Study of Artifact Variability

This article presents some of the results of ethnoarchaeological research on ceramic technology I have conducted among the Asurini do Xingu, an Amazonian indigenous population inhabiting a village in the margins of the Xingu River, Pará, Brazil. Based on collected data, presented throughout the article, I discuss the reasons behind the formal, quantitative, spatial and relational variability of the Asurini ceramic vessels. This work will demonstrate that these distinct dimensions of variability are related to the potters’ technological choices during the vessels’ production process, the ceramic teaching-learning structure, and the type, frequency, method and context of use of the same vessels. I try to make clear the different practical and symbolic aspects that may influence the production, use, reuse, storage and discard processes of the vessels. Furthermore, I compare the Asurini context with other ethnographic contexts and try to distinguish regularities that may serve as interpretative references to the study of archaeological ceramic assemblages.

拓展冷战研究——兼论中美关系的“多元多层比较”分析

冷战研究已经成为当代国际关系学的一个重要领域。在过去的半个世纪里,以西方(主要是美国)学者为主体的冷战研究,如果依据学术的严密性和科学性加以考察,具有明显的局限性。为了进一步发展冷战研究体系,本文提出的思路是:打破传统的外交史的治学界限,将冷战研究的触角拓宽加大,依据多方面的历史资料,采取多元素、多层次的深度比较方法,力求使得这一领域由较为单一、传统的研究逐渐加强多元化和提升理论性。对此,本文以美国对华冷战研究为例进行了阐述。

中国公共考古的新思路——罗泰先生专访

在公共考古越来越受到重视的当下,美国加州大学洛杉矶分校的罗泰先生认为随着社会经济文化的迅猛发展,中国的考古学事业也得到飞速提升,特别是国际化的趋势越发显著。在此背景下,中国的公共考古可以从加强中小学师生的考古与遗产保护意识、充分展现考古学术问题论争等方面入手,在坚持学术原则的基础上,根据中国传统文化的具体情况并借鉴国际上的成功经验,走出具有自身特色的一条发展道路。
