藏羌织绣的保护与传承

正阿坝州藏族和羌族几百年以前就相互通婚,两个民族是相互融合的,所以就产生了藏羌织绣。藏羌织绣有着最传统最古老的织法,实用性比较强,而且藏羌织绣的色彩、图案和佩戴都是有特定含义的。比如说,羌族住在半山腰,号称云朵上的民族,他们的衣服是蓝色的,头饰是白色的,这代表着蓝天和白云。

碉楼：震而不倒

生活在四川西部高山峡谷地带的藏、羌民族,被人喻为“生活在云朵上的民族”,他们有灿烂独特的民族文化,尤其是他们垒石为室的民居建筑历经千年的传承发展至今,那些承受了数百年风雨和多次强烈地震考验,依然顽强矗立着的碉楼,为藏羌古老建筑技艺的精湛做出了形象而有力的注解。     

浅论白马藏族的由来和形成

白马藏族长期生活在汉、羌、藏民族聚居 区交界地带,文化上明显具有多种文化混合的多重性特 点,作者经过考证分析认为：这一特定民族群体源出羌 氏,是唐代吐蕃东征之后藏化的结果。     

冰瀑节

正九寨沟国际冰瀑旅游节,是九寨沟景区规模盛大的旅游节庆活动。旅游节从1月份到3月份,游人至此,可以观赏冰瀑、雪景,还可以让人感受和体验当地藏、羌民族的奇异风俗,迷人的民间舞狮、转山等。冬季的九寨,虽然白雪皑皑,但依然有青山绿水,美轮美奂,集翠海、叠瀑、蓝冰、冰瀑、雪山和藏、羌民族风情文化于一体,这是它与北方雪景的不同之处,雪味浓郁而色彩丰富。     

瓦尔俄足 女人的节日

古老的文化 秦汉及以前的漫长岁月中,兴盛于西北河湟流域的古羌人逐渐南迁,他们穿过荒原草场,进入了地理上称作横断山区的峡谷之中,由原来的游牧民族向半农半牧或半家半狩的山地民族过渡,逐渐形成为当今的藏、羌、拉祜、纳西、景颇、哈尼等少数民族。惟一保存了羌这一称谓的便是今天聚居于茂县汶川岷山中的羌族。     

甘肃省博物馆馆藏西夏文献述略

西夏享国190年,主体民族是党项羌,境内还有汉、吐蕃、回鹘、契丹等民族,形成党项民族和汉、藏、回鹘等民族特点融汇的西夏文化。西夏正式立国前夕创制了记录西夏主体民族党项羌语言的文字,当时称为“蕃文”,后世称为西夏文。其字体仿汉字结构和笔画,是表意文字,     

历史时期川西高原的民居形制及其成因

在文献考证和遗迹调查的基础上,对历史时期川西高原的民居形制进行了归纳和梳理,进而探寻影响川西民居演变的主要原因。研究认为:历史时期川西高原的民居可分为石室、板屋、土屋和帐房四类。在建筑材料、民居选址和民居形态上,川西高原的民居显著地受到自然地理环境的制约;出于生产生活的便利和在动荡社会环境中自保的需要,藏羌民居的防御形式和内部功能日渐趋同;不同社会文化力量,尤其表现为宗教信仰、思想观念等方面的差异,导致藏、羌、彝族民居逐渐渲染上个性的色彩,打上民族的烙印;最后,建筑形制自身的演变也会促使川西民居呈现出多样化的特点。     

羌人、氐人：游牧于陇南的古老族群

羌人和氐人是中华民族大家庭中古老而神秘的族群,甘肃陇南曾是其主要聚居地和活动区域。羌氐人在漫长的历史发展过程中,与其他族群一道在陇南文明史上写下了多姿多彩的优美篇章。秦厉共公时兴起的爰剑部的一支“参狼种武都羌”,在岷江、白龙江、白水江一带生息、繁衍,强盛时人口有数万之众,南北朝时期,宕昌羌、邓至羌等相继兴起,均“受南北两朝封爵”。公元前111年,汉攻灭氐王,置武都郡,后又设陇西郡、阴平郡、广汉郡、蜀郡等,并置十三氐道,这些郡、县（道）所辖范围就包括今陇南市及其周边地区。西晋至南北朝时,聚居陇南的氐人杨氏建立霸业,它与中原汉民族政权时而依附、时而抗衡,共传衍284年。陇南羌人和氐人虽然随着历史的风尘渐渐远去,但在藏、汉及其他民族的生活中至今仍依稀可见其神秘的踪影。     

Climate and energy security policies and measures: synergies and conflicts

Concerns about climate and energy security are leading to increased government intervention in the energy sector, in particular as they relate to the choice of energy supply options. While many of these options will improve both energy and climate security, many measures will benefit one while harming the other. This raises an important question for governments and energy planners: how can conflicts between climate and energy security be resolved? This article outlines some of the barriers and problems that may arise as governments and companies try to address climate and energy security concerns simultaneously in various energy supply areas. It concludes by arguing against choosing one objective over the other, and by outlining steps that can be taken to help resolve conflicts between the two agendas.

Challenger and Chernobyl Lessons and Reflections

Abstract

It is argued that Psychological research on 'race' and 'ethnicity' issues presents a number of ethical problems. These relate to the sociopolitical impact of such research, particularly when it purports to find differences of an 'innate' character; to the use of naive subjects, particularly children, in research which is aimed at demonstrating their 'inferiority'; and, within the academic community itself, to the working relationships between researchers who believe in 'innate' 'race' differences and colleagues belonging to allegedly 'inferior' groups – this being particularly significant within a teaching environment. Although the 'race differences' question has a long and controversial history, ethical issues relating to the research process itself have received less focused attention. Moreover, replacement of the genetically obsolete concept of 'race' with the idea of 'ethnicity' does not solve the problem entirely, and the term 'ethnicity' is itself unsatisfactory in several respects.     

Power and Ethnicity History and Anthropology

This essay reflects on the relationship between anthropological and historical scholarship of ethnicity, picking up on themes explored by Andre Gingrich, by considering the epistemological and evidentiary limitations of social scientific and historical analysis and reconstruction. Beginning with the consideration of the pioneering transdisciplinary efforts of Robert Darnton and Clifford Geertz, it argues that many of the weaknesses ascribed to such efforts are actually part of the nature of social scientific investigation which, in the terms of Peter Winch, must take into account two sets of relationships: that of the relationship between the scientist and the phenomena that he or she observes and the symbolic system that he or she shares with other scientists, which can only be understood from the social context of common activity. How these two relationships challenge social scientific analysis of ethnicity are examined through a consideration of the difficulties of applying Anthony Smith's definition of an ethnie to either Fredrik Barth's classic essay on “Pathan Identity and its Maintenance” or Helmut Reimitz's study of Frankish identity. It concludes that neither anthropologists nor historians are simply describing societies as they are or as they were but rather attempt to describe societies as witnesses within them thought they should be, and we do this for our own society, not for those of the participants, past or present.     

Of Demons and Angels and Historical Humans: Some Events and Questions in Translation and Post-colonial Theory

In what follows, I attempt to show that a look at some curious examples of translations from European texts makes us think about issues in translation theory and post-colonial theory from a slightly different angle. The metaphor of translation can very well be employed for understanding the relation between European texts, and some texts and some social and political practices in India in the colonial period, and this in turn helps us look critically at what I shall call our fuzzy post-colonialism. I also argue that Walter Benjamin's metaphor of translation as the after-life of a work can be extended to posit two basic modes of after-life.     

后伊拉克时代与中国的内政外交--普遍主义与单边主义的冲突

"9·11"事件后,冷战后的国际政治格局发生了重大变化.其最大特征可以概括为以下两点:第一,确立了以唯一超级大国--美国为核心的以反恐为普遍主义的全球性安全阵线;第二,美国的爱国主义、民族主义戏剧性地高涨起来.就像当时有人强调因为全世界有60多个国家的人在世界贸易中心工作,所以对世贸中心的攻击就是对全世界的攻击那样,在美国国民中普遍存在着这样的观点:因为美国社会自身就是世界的缩影,所以星条旗也可被看作是超越一国国界的全人类的普遍象征.
