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。     

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 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.

康熙皇帝肖像画及相关问题

帝后像是清代宫廷绘画中的主要组成部分,但并没有得到国内美术史界的重视。笔者希望通过对康熙帝肖像画相关问题的探究.引起更多的学人对清代帝后像加以关注。本文是在整理故宫博物院现藏的康熙帝肖像画的基础上,运用文献资料,初步对史籍中记载的这些画作的绘制者加以考辨。进一步勾勒出清初宫廷画家进行创作的工作程序。此外,借助梳理御制诗文,指出康熙帝对绘画的淡漠态度。揭示了其肖像画数量不多的原因.并探求了其行乐图极少的缘由。文中指出康熙帝肖像画受西方绘画的影响实则微乎其微,而且康熙时期的帝后肖像画创作既是清代宫廷肖像画的转型期又是定型期。
