ZUR FRAGE DER KARTWELO-SUMERISCHEN SPRACHENFAMILIE

Die Frage nach der genetischen Verwandtschaft des Sumerischen ist bisher nicht geloest worden. Nach dem bekannten Aufsatz von Viktor Christian hat die Wissenschaft keinen groβen Fortschritt gemacht. In den neuesten sumerischen Grammatiken geht man ueberhaupt nicht mehr auf diese Frage ein und konzentriert sich eher auf der Beschreibung des Sumerischen selbst. Viele Sumerologen haben nie die vergleichende Spmchwissenschaft studiert, und umgekehrt, die Experten in vergleichender Spmchwissenschaft studieren normalerweise kein Sumerisch. Das Umgehen der Frage ist jedoch nicht mit der Antwort auf die Frage identisch.

A Vital Monastic Centre of the Jonang Tradition： The Grand Lamasery of Dzamthang

The entire Ngolok-Seta country between what is present-day＇s Ngolok （mgo-log）prefecture （Chin. Guoluo） in China＇s Qinghai province, Serta county in Kandse （dkar-mdzes）prefecture and the northwestern parts of modern Ngawa（rnga-ba） prefecture （Chin. Aba） in Sichuan was a white spot on the Ti-bet map until the mid-20th century. Particularly the districts defined by the present Ngawa and Dzamthang （Chin. Rangtang） counties were inaccessible for any foreign traveller in historic time. Ngawa already constituted an isolated Ti-betan cultural realm, yet Dzamthang to its west was a true hidden land. The latter is reached by a 18o km drive from the Ngawa prefecture＇s seat, Barkham （Chin. Ma＇erkang）, in less than half a day.     

PRIVATBESITZ UND AMTSBESITZ DER AEGYPTISCHEN NOMARCHEN IM MITTLEREN REICH

Wasser, urbares Land und Vieh sind endliche Ressourcen, die haufig ungleich verteilt sind. Die einen haben zuviel davon, die anderen zu wenig. Wer zuviel hat, kann mit der Umverteilung seiner Ressourcen Abhangigkeiten produzieren.Dies hat zur Folge, daβ diejenigen, die mehr Ressourcen erschlielβen und verteilen koennen, mehr Abhangigkeiten zu ihren Gunsten schaffen. In einer extrem ariden Umwelt sind zudem Wasser und fruchtbares Land unbestreitbar die elementarsten Ressourcen, die Lebensgrundlage schlechthin. Schlieβlich war Aegypten eine Agrarund Pastoralgesellschaft,     

OVER THE WATER AND ACROSS THE DESERT – TRANS-SAHARAN CONTACTS OF THE MEDITERRANEAN WORLD IN THE 6TH AND 5TH CENTURY BC

After presenting the picture of Africa in Mediterranean minds of antiquity,this paper seeks by ways of a combined interpretation of the periplus of Hanno and Herodotus’logos on the Nasamones to investigate Carthaginian and Greek knowledge about the trans-Saharan routes und contacts of the 6th and 5th century BC.Further comparison with recent archaeological discoveries from the Iron Age in Senegal,the Niger Bend and Lake Chad illustrate that these sites were the destination of travellers from the North and that universal geographical theses concerning the course of the river Nile provided fundamental patterns of explanation and orientation for ancient explorers.Finally,it is considered why any further explorations both of the Inner African hinterland and the western seaway around the African continent were suspended in Antiquity.

Schneider,Helen M., Keeping the Nation＇s House.＂ Domestic Management and the Making of Modern China

According to the ancient wisdom of the Great Learning （Daxue）, the regulation of a state extends from proper regulation of family affairs. This doctrine echoes throughout Helen Schneider＇s fascinating study of how the imported discipline of home economics （jiazheng xue） became domesticated in China before 1949. Like other new disciplines in China,     

Alexander von Stael-Holstein and his Sino-Indian Institute

Alexander von Stael-Holstein （I877-I937） was a world famous Russian orientalist who, in the early part of the 2oth century, lived permanently in Beijing for various reasons.＇ On the recommendation of Hu Shi胡适, he received a teaching position at Peking University. In i929 he was formally appointed professor of Central Asian Philology at Harvard University, staying there for one academic year. Although a Harvard professor, he did not stay in the United States, but continued to live in Peking, directing his Sino-Indian Institute （SII） which he had founded in i927. After receiving the Harvard professorship, the Sino-Indian Institute became part of the Harvard-Yenching Institute （the HYI）. As he wrote, only in Beijing could he do his beloved research on Buddhist texts in Sanskrit, Tibetan and Chi- nese. At the SII, he received American students sent by the HYI, as well as young scholars from various countries who came to study Buddhist texts. This paper will present this well- known academic story, based on Stael-Holstein＇s correspondence that is preserved at the Harvard-Yenching Library, of which most is in English, but some are in German, French and Russian.

万象小报：近代中国城市的文化、社会与政治

The Shanghai tabloid press has gained growing scholarly attention in the recent decade. Wanxiao xiaobao （All-Seeing Tabloid） is another major publication to deal with this fascinating form of popular print press that flourished in late Qing and Republican China. Earlier studies have explored the Shanghai tabloid press as a platform for popular literature （Li Nan 李楠, Wan Qing, Minguo shiqi Shanghai xiaobao yanjiu [A study of the Shanghai tabloid press in the late Qing and Republican period], Beijing： Renmin wenxue chubanshe, 2005）, as an important part of media history in modem China （Hong Yu 洪煜, Jindai Shanghai xiaobao yu shimin wenhua yanjiu, 1897-1937 [A study of the tabloid press and popular culture in modem Shanghai, 1897-1937], Shanghai： Shanghai shudian, 2007）, as a mirror of a flowering Shanghai-based entertainment culture （Catherine Yeh, ＂Shanghai Leisure, Print Entertainment, and the Tabloids, xiaobao,＂ in Rudolf G.
