从早期佛像看佛教艺术东传及中西方文化交流

实物遗存及考古资料证明了佛教艺术经西域逐步传入我国,由初期的神佛共敬到模仿吸收、交流融合,最后逐渐摆脱了外来式样的影响,走向民族化、世俗化的创作形式,形成了一种独到而完美的艺术体系,对世界佛教艺术产生了重大影响。     

The Receiving End of Reform: Everyday Responses to Neoliberalisation in Southeastern Mexico

Abstract: This article builds upon the literature on neoliberalism and environment as well as studies on community forestry by examining the creative accommodations that rural producers have made in navigating Mexico's neoliberal turn. In contrast to previous work that emphasizes macro‐level processes (eg privatization of public natural resources) and local resistance, I employ Bourdieu's theory of practice to examine the symbolic and material dimensions of local responses to neoliberal policy reform. Drawing on research from nine communities in the state of Quintana Roo, I argue that local producers have accommodated neoliberal policies and programs by adopting hybrid logics, property regimes, forms of organization, and modes of exchange. Moreover, I contend that these creative responses constitute elements of a longstanding “culture of accommodation” to institutional change that predates Mexico's neoliberal reforms.     

Gender and Welfare Reform in Post‐ Revolutionary Mexico

This article discusses the impact a gender and woman's history conference had on the development of my own research and writing. ‘Las Olvidadas’ was a conference held at Yale in the Spring of 2001, and was the first in a series of Mexican women's and gender history conferences organised. My own research, on the gendered nature of the welfare state in Mexico, explores how class and race intersected with gender to produce a welfare system that, while particular to Mexico, also nevertheless had much in common with other Latin American countries. These conferences shaped both my views of gender, but also the importance of the transnational to historical research.     

敦煌写本相书理论与敦煌石窟供养人画像——关于敦煌莫高窟供养人画像研究之二

汉唐敦煌地区是一个多民族居住区,除了汉族之外,还生活有粟特人、吐谷浑人、南山人、吐蕃人、龙家人、达怛人、回鹘人以及少量的西域其他居民,很多民族都有明显的面貌特征,其中粟特、吐谷浑、吐蕃、回鹘等都在敦煌石窟绘制有供养人像,这些供养人像共性特征突出,个性特征减弱乃至于消失,具有明显的千人一面的倾向,经过我们研究,主要受敦煌地区审美观即敦煌写本相书好相理论的影响。     

Portraits of the Poor in Early Nineteenth-Century Radical Journalism

This paper compares the social-exploration literature of radical, mostly Owenite and Chartist, and liberal journalism in the first half of the nineteenth century, though the focus is on the less known ‘portraits of the poor’ in radical papers. In the paper I argue that against the developing liberal practice of intricately mapping poverty and categorizing the poor, radical papers under-represented particular cases of poverty, using an obfuscating syntax to document the poor. In doing so, radicals differentiated themselves from their middle-class counterparts, primarily as a way to challenge the assumption that poverty was a function of individual error and to turn the public’s gaze onto the social causes of poverty. Highlighting the political dimensions of poverty and minimizing the language of ‘personal responsibility’, radicals demonstrated that the activist agenda concerned itself with the economic and social as much as with the political, even while offering political solutions to economic and social problems.     

The Sound of Rock Art. The Acoustics of the Rock Art of Southern Andalusia (Spain)

This paper explores the potential of acoustics to interpret the prehistoric rock art of southern Andalusia (Spain). Tests undertaken in two areas, north of the Celemín river and the Bacinete area, will form the basis of our discussion. The results obtained at a selection of rock art sites show that the two key rock art sites, El Tajo de las Figuras and the large shelter at Bacinete, both with the majority of paintings in the earlier Laguna de la Janda style, had good resonance values. In contrast, at most of the other minor sites tested, the values for resonance were negative or insignificant, regardless of whether they were painted in Laguna de la Janda or schematic style. We conclude that the major rock art sites in southern Andalusia were chosen not only for their geological appearance and location in the landscape, but also for their acoustic properties.     

明末清初江南艺术市场与艺术交易人

明末清初,江南地区商业经济的繁荣,催生出艺术市场的繁荣,徽商收藏家和书画交易人的活动空前活跃。一时间,苏州、嘉兴、杭州等地成为江南地区艺术品集散的重要地区。尤其徽州地区,由于经济实力的增长,至明末及清初形成了较为成熟的艺术市场。艺术市场的繁盛,自然催生出了一批徽商收藏家,也由此诞生了一批书画交易人。江南地区的有些书画交易人同时也是北方鉴藏家的眼目,这样也使得南北艺术品交流逐渐频繁起来。     

Portraits of two merovingian bishops in the poetry of Venantius Fortunatus

The poetry of Venantius Fortunatus is frequently used as source material for prosopographical data, for the roles and images of certain categories of individuals, and for details of buildings and topography. His poetry, however, can be used further to provide detailed personal portraits in some cases. There are several groups of poems to individuals which use a range ofgenres and arise from a variety of occasions, illuminating several aspects of the patron and his way of life. Two such clusters are to the bishops Leontius of Bordeaux and Gregory of Tours. The poet works from traditional genres but varies the structure and wording of these poems to respond sensitively to each bishop in his particular circumstances. Comparison of the two groups of poems, and especially of the formal panegyrics, builds up internally consistent and vivid pictures of the attitudes, ambitions and characters of two very different men. Fortunatus' poetry thus enables us to supplement bald prosopogrophical details and generalities about social roles, in a way unique in this period.
