阿维尼翁，关不住的旧时光

你对一个法国人说：请教我一首歌。如果他在法国长大,如果你的法语程度为零,那么多半他会给你唱起这首《阿维尼翁的大桥》,这也很可能是他这辈子学到的第一首歌。     

枷锁能否锁住爱

你相信两个人之间存在永恒的爱情吗?如果回答:有。我相信你正沉浸在美好的爱情中,如果回答:没有。或许你被爱情伤害过。一条锁链能否锁住永恒的爱?偶然间看了泰国电影《永恒》,如果让我说这是一部什么类型的影片,难以用只言片语说清楚。这是一部爱情片,讲述的是正值年华的青年男女主角的爱情故事,尽管尚     

尝试市志“以市区为主,兼及属县”特例的回顾

1986年,胡乔木同志曾说:“如果是一部完整的市志,它就不得不把所辖的各县都列在里面;同时,它所属各县如果另修志,那么,这两者之间工作怎样衔接,体例上怎样协调?……希望各地对这个问题能够好好考虑一下,怎样把这两者的关系处理好”。     

芮成钢的虚实

“如果你辛苦劳作,已功成名就,为了新的目标,你依旧冒险一博,哪怕功名成乌有。”这是英国诗人拉迪亚德·吉卜林的诗《如果》中的一句。2012年,芮成钢把这首诗的自译文作为新书《虚实之间》的代后序。他认为,这首诗描述了人生在世最理想的内心状态,承裁了这个阶段的自己所有的希望和信仰。     

“根据天皇命令行动的野兽集团”的性奴隶——《慰安妇研究》评介

用“汗牛充栋”来形容抗日战争史出版物的数量,大概不是太夸张。然而这已是几年前的事了。近两三年好像没有看到这方面的新著问世。如果这意味着这个研究冷落了,那是很可惋惜的。如果在这一时的沉寂中酝酿着具有创新性的鸿篇巨制,则未尝不是好事。正巧这期间出版了一本有关抗日战争一个特殊问题的专著《慰安妇研究》(苏智良著,．上海书店出版社1999年3月出版),可以说是一个很有意义的补偿。

防止制度成为腐败的孵化器

对于腐败问题,人们历来是深恶痛绝。我国目前所揭发的腐败问题越来越严重,人数越来越多、数额越来越大、级别越来越高。这就表明,我国的腐败问题不只是犯罪人的品质问题,还有制度问题。如果只是个人品质问题,那只是个案,没有什么可怕的。如果是制度问题就带有普遍性,这才是可怕的。

中华传统文化与华侨华人经济

一谈中华传统文化与华侨华人经济的关系,实际蕴含了作为经济主体的华侨华人与中华传统文化密不可分的重要假定。但这假定是否具有客观依据,目前学术界并无定论。如果这一假定并不存在,本文的论题便根本不能成立。如果存在这一假定,本文的讨论才具有相当的学术意义和现实意义。因此,在进入本题之前,便有必要弄清华侨华人与中华传统文化的关系。

Advances in Morphometrics in Archaeobotany

ABSTRACT

Morphometric analysis offers an alternative or augmentation to traditional archaeobotanical methods to address differences within and between plant species and their remains, refining and enhancing taxonomic resolution. Morphometrics, the measurement of size and shape, and the multivariate statistical analysis of generated quantitative variables, have long played a major role in biological research, including plant taxonomy and systematics, although its application in archaeobotany is relatively recent. Over the last few decades, there has been an increasing interest in the use of morphometrics for analysing a varied range of archaeological plant materials (mainly seeds, pollen, phytoliths, and starch grains). In particular, morphometrics have contributed to the study of the domestication and spread of many cereals world-wide, as well as that of other taxa including legumes, underground storage organs (USO), and fruits (such as olives, grapes, and dates). This paper reviews current methodologies, recent applications, and advances in the use of morphometrics in archaeobotanical research, discusses its role in exploring major research questions, and suggests possible future directions for its use.     

杏开二月

已经是二月仲春了,大地柔软,天气慢慢热起来了。一场习习的春雨,浇得人心头酥酥的。我第一次注意到,家门前的杏树开了。枝干上,星星点点,挑着几朵白,轻盈得很,把薄薄的心打开,驻足美的枝头,观赏人间烟火。背后是灰灰的庭院,低矮的     

Geography in Higher Education in Australia

Within the last 30 years, geographical information systems (GIS) have been used increasingly in the training of geographers. On the basis of the philosophy of technology and instrumental genesis, we sketch how the use of instruments interacts with learning processes and outline how this can be studied. We empirically analyse students' learning processes and the influences of teaching practice in an introductory course in GIS. We show that students have different strategies for creating their personal instrument for spatial thinking and how teaching interacts with the students' learning processes. Finally, we discuss how GIS may gradually alter future professional development of geographers.     

America in Speech and in Deed

The author's primary aim in what follows is to fully articulate Chantal Delsol's critique of late modern universalism as an attempt to depoliticize the individual for the sake of replacing politics with morality. The result of this depoliticization is a quasi-pantheistic cosmopolitanism that not only effectively denies the significance of individuality, despite rhetorically lionizing it, but also undercuts the freedom of individual conscience that makes moral choice possible. Genuine political prudence and moral judgment are subsequently replaced by the rigid exactitude of a technocratic analysis that reintroduces the "clandestine ideology" it was, despite protestations to the contrary, intended to eliminate. The unhappy paradox produced by the attempt to replace the necessary limitations of political judgment with the universality of a priori moral decree is that a new set of culturally and historically idiosyncratic political attachments are surreptitiously introduced beyond the pale of reasonable debate and disagreement. Delsol's measured response is not a precipitous rejection of universalism as such but a rehabilitation of it that recaptures the Christian moral realism at its core.     

Tibetan-Inhabited Area in Deqen in Development

Deqen, honored as “Shangri La”,is located in the area where three rivers meet to form one in the Henduan Mountains straddling the borders of Yunnan, Sichuan and Tibet. The Deqen Tibetan Ethnic Group Autonomous Prefecture, founded in September 1957, is the only Tibetan autonomous prefecture in Yunnan Province but one of 10 in the
