图腾的舞蹈

1还有什么能在高原的四季驻留?除非有黑颈鹤在布哈河上空它独自的舞蹈像散落的念珠在缄默中植根于青海高原的四季烘托北方沉甸甸的预感布置大地之蓝这些霜露之后还保持清醒的事物它从未离开过对河流和山的虔诚就像我从未在故乡威远镇的背景里对古老的东西留下过叹嘘一些马匹曾经在寂静的原野里流下了泪水而那时北方的天空降下一阵祥光打开了高原忧郁的内部一个站在脚手架上的汉子大声高呼“划呀、划呀、父亲们”劈柴的父亲抬起头搅乱了整个秋季的风声巴音河边的女子背起柴火在光线中将美连成一片失去了边界在一个乌有之乡我们的儿女耕田种粮…     

1948年上海舞潮案中的舞业同业公会

1947年9月,南京国民政府以“节约”为名,颁布了在全国禁绝营业性舞厅的法令。为维护自身利益,上海舞厅业资方组织——舞业同业公会,联合舞厅业劳方各工会组织,对“禁舞”进行了有组织的抗争,从请愿到集会,从募捐到宣传,从百般周旋到最后失控,冲击和捣毁了上海市社会局。舞潮案发生后。国民党政府加以镇压,舞业劳资双方的矛盾也在扩大,这些都反映出在解放战争时期国民党政府与社会、民众矛盾的尖锐,以及各种社会团体的作用和影响。     

活跃的北极生命

<正>与南极大陆不同,北极的生命活动非常活跃。有900种显花植物,有成千上万的驯鹿、麝牛、北极兔,每公顷多达1500只的旅鼠。北半球全部鸟类的1/6在北极繁育后代,而且至少有12种鸟类在北极越冬。北半球的2月份,地轴开始倾斜,太阳光线开始逐渐往北攀爬,北极地区也开始从冬天的严寒中苏醒过来,生活在陆地上的捕食者开始走到冰面上寻找食物。

The Norse Settlement of the Faroe Islands

THIS ARTICLE is based upon archaeological evidence from Lübeck, the capital of the Hanseatic League on the Baltic Sea. Discussed are examples of the material culture and the environment of different socio-economic quarters of the town and their transformation between the 13th and the 16th century. Evidence of the town's topography, urban plots and house-building is presented, and of everyday life including handicrafts, trade and food supply.     

The Republic of the Marshall Islands since 1990

Rioting that followed clashes between police and strikers in Suva in December 1959 was interpreted by the authorities and the European minority as being motivated by anti-European feeling. But the racial interpretation of the strike tells us more about the authorities' own fears of solidarity between Indians and Fijians than it does about the strikers actual motivations, which were simply to advance an economic demand. The racialisation of the dispute came afterwards, in the suppression of the strike, and the reassertion of traditional Fijian authority vested in the Council of Chiefs, whose appeal to Fijians was made in specifically anti-Indian terms. The return to traditional authority prevented moves to modernise Fijian society.     

The Invisible Dance: The Supreme Court and the Press

Abstract

In America, Tocqueville writes, men were born equal; they did not have to become so.¹ But he is not unaware of the radical democratic character of the American revolution of which Gordon Wood has reminded us.² Prior to 1776, Tocqueville observes, the democratic principle was “far from dominating the government of society.” It was the Revolution that made it “the law of laws.” “The war was fought and victory obtained in its name” (1:1, ch. 4. 59).     

'Away From Tokyo': The Pacific Islands war crimes trials, 1945-1949

Over the years, a certain mantra has arisen in academic circles involving the post-World War II war crimes trials. Nuremberg, it is said, was a needed display of 'allied justice' and 'democratic fair play'. The Tokyo and Pacific region trials were exercises in 'victor's justice' and 'racism'. Accenting the determined, precedent-setting work of the Pacific Islands war crimes trials on Guam, 'Away from Tokyo' argues that justice was served well there. Evil should never go unpunished. Based on archival research at the Micronesian Area Research Center the US Territory of Guam, Stanford University and the Douglas MacArthur Memorial Archives, this paper examines the good work of both the prosecution and defence teams on Guam. Few trial participants viewed their efforts as part of a larger conspiracy of revenge and racism. In fact, that conspiracy never existed. 'Away from Tokyo' attempts to set the record straight, and re-examines some dramatic cases at the same time.
