＂HELEN OF ARGOS＂ AND ＂ARGEIOI＂ IN THE ILIAD - OBSERVATIONS ON THE FORMULAIC LANGUAGE -

In his article ＂Argos andArgives in the Iliad＂ （1979） Robert Drews argued for reviving an idea, first brought forward by William D. Geddes in 18782 and later on fully developed in Paul Cauer＇s ＂Grundfragen der Homerkritik＂, according to which the origins of heroic poetry and of the Iliad in particular are to be sought in the less civilized northern regions of the Mycenaean world, especially in the realms of Thessaly. This area was known to the composer of the Catalog of Ships as the ＂Pelasgic Argos＂; this was the home of the people called Hellenes and Achaians, who set out against Troy with 50 ships led by Achilles （Ⅱ.Ⅱ 681-685）.     

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN EGYPT AND PALESTINE IN THE MIDDLE BRONZE AGE （CA.2000-1550／1500 BCE.）

The relationship between Egypt and Palestine during the Bronze Age has been discussed since the 1940s. For the period of the Middle Bronze Age, the problem is both chronological and interpretative. The end of the Middle Bronze Age is fixed by the initial military activities of Dynasty 18 in Palestine around the end of the 16th century BCE. But the dates for the beginning of this period and the transition from one archaeological phase to another are still debated. Lacking a generally accepted solution, the chronology adopted here is that of Dever --- the transition from MB Ⅰ to MB Ⅱ occurred around 1800 BCE,

李大钊史学理论著述管窥

李大钊是近代中国历史理论的奠基者之一,其所撰述《唯物史观》、《史学思想史》、《史学要论》等著作,对中国近代史学界影响甚大。本文对李大钊之历史理论著述的稿本作了新的考证、复原,对其历史理论的内在逻辑和中国语境作了新的诠释。发现现刊的各种李大钊文集、全集均遗漏了《马克思的经济历史观》一文;《史学思想史》因按单篇收入亦显零乱,不便于对李大钊历史理论著述的完整理解。李大钊对历史理论的探研与梁启超的历史研究法和胡适的治学方法明显不同,属于史学理论研究中当时较为薄弱的历史理论的层次。

丧钟被谁敲响？

至迟在30年前,历史教科书的主角还都是农民起义。仿佛历史的车轮,是被一场又一场农民起义推进的。时至今日则不同了。比如对于镇压太平天国的湘军、曾国藩,已有了褒奖说。称其举是卫乡、卫道与卫国,避免了中国历史的倒退,等等。

我们是谁？

作为人文历史类刊物,《贵阳文史》无时无刻不处于困惑之中。困惑主要源自两个方面,一是主观上的原因：当我们面对中国源远流长、浩如烟海的历史文化传统时,知识的匮乏、视野的逼仄、方法的缺失、学理的混沌,每每令我们如履薄冰,步履蹒跚……更何况,作为华夏子孙,传统中总有那么多的思想,那么多的人与事,令我们动容,令我们汗颜,从而,
