枹罕的昨天与今天--甘肃土乡行之三

此次有机会到甘肃省的临夏去考察了解该地区的土族,感触极深,获益也极大。实地考察的结果证实了临夏地区不仅是土族先民在西北地区最先开拓的疆土之一,也是其后裔繁衍生息的主要地区之一。土族先民们在那里开拓奋斗了很长时期,并以此为根据地,再向南、向西、向北开拓发展,曾成为我国历史上西部开发者中具有极大影响的古代少数民族之一。

Jean-Paul Sartre's Roads of Freedom Yesterday and Today

In France, the history of the series form for young readers begins in collections such as the well-known Bibliothèque rose published by Hachette. More recently, other serial forms using the recurring characters of the traditional series have developed. These new forms have complex structures that go beyond linearity. Authors Brigitte Smadja and Daniel Pennac in particular have created series that straddle the various collections of their respective publishing houses and whose characters also appear in their texts published for an adult readership. Through an analysis of these series and French children's collections, this article proposes a new term as a means to understand them. Both collections and series require a rhizomatic reading from the reader. Favouring the link, such a reading puts connections between texts to the fore, along with their re-establishment after rupture.

En France, l'histoire de la forme sérielle pour enfants commence dans les collections de jeunesse dont la plus connue est sans doute la Bibliothèque rose des éditions Hachette. Plus récemment, d'autres formes sérielles ont pu se développer librement et se servent des personnages récurrents de la série traditionnelle mais s'appuient sur des structures complexes qui devancent toute linéarité. En particulier, les auteurs Brigitte Smadja et Daniel Pennac ont créé des séries qui chevauchent plusieurs collections de la maison d'édition, et dont les personnages se retrouvent également dans leurs textes destinés à un lectorat adulte. En analysant les collections françaises et des séries contemporaines écrites par des auteurs français, nous proposons une nouvelle expression pour ces deux formes. Les collections et les séries exigent une lecture rhizomatique du lecteur. Une telle lecture qui favorise le lien met en évidence les connexions entre textes et leur rétablissement à la suite d'une rupture.

British Invasion of Yadong in History

As early as the Qing Dynasty,the central government set up a customs post in Yadong,accrediting officials to check on the passage ot goods and collect taxes. The post, located on a gentle slope sandwiched between the two peaks of Nedui La and Zeli La, has long fallen into disrepair.

Biogeography Today and Tomorrow

The chairman of Moscow University's Department of Biogeography reviews the various approaches being used in biogeography: habitat studies, the species composition of flora and fauna, the regional approach, the ecological approach and the historical approach. He outlines future research problems of biogeographers: the elimination of natural infection foci of disease, the rehabilitation of expanding areas in tailings, slag heaps and other wasteland, the biological purification of water, the conservation of natural communities and the creation of more productive artificial communities.     

Geography Today

In this article, reprinted from the weekly Nedelya [1965, No. 38], the author challenges the view that geography has outlived its usefulness. He sees a broad field of research and applied activity not only in the cataloguing of geographic facts in a ready form suitable for use by other disciplines, but also in the forecasting of changes in the natural environment as a result of economic development plans.     

Paljor Lhunpo Today

Phalha Manor is situated in Paljor Lhunpo Village of Gyantse. Out of the twelve most prominent manors in Tibet which were once owned by serf owners in old Tibet,the Phalha Manor is currently the best preserved.It is a social miniature of old Tibet that authentically illustrates the utter discrepancy between the lives of serfs and that of autocrats in the past.At present residents adjacent to the manor,for the most part,are the progeny of former serfs.There are over a dozen former serfs enjoying their fre...
