镜头里的晚清中国和中国人——约翰·汤姆逊摄影作品展

一位满族的新娘,一个广州的富家小姐,一对福建的互相凝视的夫妻,三位表情各异的满清总理衙门的官员,北京街边的古董摊,香港照相馆里的画师,闽江夕阳西下的美景,厦门布满鹅卵石狭长阴暗的街道里破败不堪的民居,台湾土著平埔人建造的居所……他们离我们已有一百多年,对于今天的我们而言,也许有些熟悉,抑或十分陌生,

学习中国古代史,进行爱国主义教育

我们过去的历史教学,不论在中学或大学里,犯一个毛病,就是把历史主要看成社会、经济、政治的历史,而把大量有关物质文明与精神文明的东西并不做为重点。这样,我们所学的历史知识就太贫乏了,我们在课堂上讲的,文章里讨论的只是几个主要问题,范围也太狭窄了。我在北师大讲历史研究法时说过,思想应该解放一些,眼界应当扩大一些,我们的研究范围应放宽。1980年一位美籍华人教中国史的教授来京,对我说,外国     

奋笔耕耘四十年——记著名中国近代史专家张磊

一八六四年到一八九四年间国际资本主义对中国侵略和中国满清政府的反动统治

最近接到几个中小学历史老师的来信,谈到关于太平天国革命失败以后,到中日甲午战争的前夕,这一段历史如何讲授的问题。其中一位同志说:「在这么长的一个时期里,始终找不到类似以前和以后的突出事件,作为重点的讲述,这是我们在备课和讲授时的苦恼!」要求我们予以解决。是的,虽然我们不应该单纯在时间长短上着眼,但是八十年的中国近代史(一八四○年年到一九一九

雪域大地的一簇新绿——记自主创业的民营企业家卓玛次力

藏族的人名里,“卓玛”一般是女性的名字。但站在我们面前的卓玛次力却是一位不折不扣的安多男性,是一位自主创业的藏族企业家。     

精神的中国

我们是一个善于制造“第一”、“绝无仅有”名堂的国家,我们喜爱面子上的事情,这东西对我们未必是好事,我们不能落在“第一国”的陷阱里不能自拔。活在精神里,活在自己的精神里。在精神的天国里成为巨人。     

美国作业难倒中国老爸

本文的口述者是国内某高校的一位副教授,在接受笔者采访的时候,他深有感慨地说:“我万万没有想到,美国教育的‘创造性’,竟会使我这个远在万里之外的教授老爸一度寝食难安。”通过他的讲述,除了了解中外教育的不同,是否也会从中领悟到其他一些值得我们关注的东西呢?

A botanical group in Lahore, 1864

The sitters in a previously misunderstood nineteenth-century Indian group photograph are identified as four East India Company surgeons with wider interests in natural history: William Jameson, Thomas Caverhill Jerdon, John Lindsay Stewart and Hugh Francis Clarke Cleghorn, taken in Lahore at the Punjab Exhibition of 1864. The image was previously believed to depict the committee of the Madras Literary Society and to have been taken in Madras. No portraits of Jameson or Stewart have previously been known, and Jameson had mistakenly been identified as E.G. Balfour. Brief biographies are given of the individuals figured, the circumstances under which they coincided in Lahore explained, and their roles in forest conservation and the documentation of Indian biodiversity outlined. The photographer is confirmed as Samuel Bourne, and information is provided on the Scottish individuals to whom Cleghorn sent copies of the photography.     

庄学本西行漫记

摄影大师庄学本的照片是需要凝视的。他将一种文明与尊严的力量赋予他所关照的边地人民,无论是眉目俊朗的康巴青年,还是纯真无邪的嘉戎少女,无论是目光深邃的班禅大师,还是蒙古、撒拉、土族一张张生动的脸庞,他们都超越时空的边际,骄傲地与我们目光交汇,情感相通。他们挺拔的生命也因这些图片的传世而不朽。     

Competing to Interpret “Foot Liberation”: Mrs. Archibald Little’s Anti-Footbinding Tour in Hong Kong, 1900

Known as the wife of the famous British merchant Mr. Archibald John Little, Mrs. Archibald Little left many writings on local Chinese customs and cultures. However, more renowned is her consistent advocacy for Chinese women’s emancipation from foot binding, not only by establishing a “Natural Feet Society” in Shanghai, but also by giving numerous anti-footbinding speeches in Chinese cities. One particularly noticeable speech was given in Hong Kong in 1900. It received significant reactions from different social groups. Using Mrs. Little’s own memoir and Hong Kong media coverage, we may be able to reveal the intertwined discursive competition surrounding the anti-footbinding movement. Motivated by a sense of mission to “enlighten,” Mrs. Little was a self-aware “civilized” savior. However, local newspaper reports on her anti-footbinding tour reflected little about the clash of civilizations but their exaggerated concern on the national subjugation and genocide. These two interpretations joined a competition to explain the anti-footbinding movement in late Qing China.     

Front and Back Covers,Volume 28, Number 5. October 2012

Front and back cover caption, volume 28 issue 5 Front cover THE CRISIS IN MALI. Malian refugees are seen at the Mbera refugee camp in eastern Mauritanian, Mbera, Mauritania, 17 July 2012. At that point, roughly 92,000 refugees had arrived in the camp. Estimates are that nearly half a million Malians have been displaced from their homes this year with many refugees having also fled to Burkina Faso and Niger. Photo taken by award‐winning photographer, Lynsey Addario ( http://www.lynseyaddario.com ). Back cover TOURISM: WORK VS LEISURE A tourist from Hong Kong photographs a young Mursi woman with lip‐plate in her lower lip. Tourists queue up orderly for each to take their turn photographing the wonders of Mursi culture. The image demonstrates the complexity of tourist encounters, and the multifaceted aspects of leisure and work. The Mursi prepare for their visitors well ahead of touring cars arriving at their settlements. They make themselves up and imitate the kinds of working activities (e.g. grinding) they know from experience will fascinate and elicit a response from tourists. Tourists typically ask the Mursi for permission to photograph the process and, occasionally, join in themselves with the Mursi in their ‘work’. In this sense, the Mursi imitate ‘traditional’ sociality as they simulate their own working activities for tourists who supposedly spend their leisure time in Mursiland. As Tamàs Règi argues in this issue, instead of seeing leisure as a fixed human condition within one society, anthropologists might approach it, rather, as a process that evolves at the interface between different societies that meet. In this way, leisure is a constantly developing practice in cross‐cultural encounters.     

Bad apples,dead souls: understanding Abu Ghraib

This review article centres on Abu Ghraib, and in particular the images of Abu Ghraib as deployed in Standard operating procedure (2008), the film by Errol Morris and the book by Philip Gourevitch. The article probes the meaning of the images and the circumstances of their creation. It asks, inter alia, what do we know of the soldier‐photographers (or photographer‐perpetrators) who took them? What do we know of Abu Ghraib? And how are we to understand what happened there?     

Making links between sex work,gender and victimisation: the politics and pedagogies of John Schools

This article will explore the links between sex work, gender and victimisation. It will draw on the literature on victims and victimology, as well as the literature on sex work, to explore the ways in which sex work, gender and victimisation are presented at John Schools. These are court diversion educational programmes that teach those arrested for soliciting for the purposes of buying sex the negative consequences of their actions and are currently operating in parts of the USA, Canada, the UK and South Korea. Focusing on a case study of a John School in England, it shows how the pedagogies of the John School are inherently political and structured by the local and extra-local contexts in which it is situated. It also demonstrates the small but significant influence of radical feminist ideas and tropes in the John School and the ways in which the John School presents victimisation relationally as male clients causing hidden harms to victims, most notably residents and female sex workers. Here, the active construction of both the victim and offender identity is critically reflected on.     

Alexander Raven Thomson,Philosopher of the British Union of Fascists

This study surveys the career and political philosophy of Alexander Raven Thomson, one of Sir Oswald Mosley's lieutenants in the British Union of Fascists (BUF), the largest party on the extreme right in Britain in the interwar era. It explores key issues relating to the BUF, such as: What type of society did Thomson and the Blackshirts wish to establish in Britain? Who were some of the major domestic and international intellectual influences on him and the BUF? Was the BUF essentially a homegrown movement or was it, as critics argued, an imitation of Italian and German fascism? What does Thomson's career reveal about the inner politics of the movement? The aim of this article is to provide a better understanding of Thomson, one of the lesser-studied BUF officials, and of the movement to which he devoted his life.     

Colonial Refractions of a Malakulan Chief

During the early 20th century, Western adventurers sought encounters with and images of Pacific people to entertain white audiences. But they were often reliant on resident European missionaries to facilitate their access to the glamorous Other. Missionaries were themselves also creators of Indigenous representations intended for Western consumption, to raise support for their enterprise. This paper examines the uneasy relationship between these groups by bringing together archival resources from disparate disciplines – colonial-era adventure-travelogue and mission history – to uncover an unacknowledged relationship between the American film-maker and photographer Martin Johnson and Australian Seventh-day Adventist missionaries in Vanuatu between 1917 and 1920. My focus is a Big Nambas village on Malakula, Vanuatu, which found itself the nexus of conflicting colonial gazes. Representations of its headman Nihapat, refracted through the lenses of a travelogue-adventurer and the narratives of missionaries, highlight Indigenous agency as he and his people contended with their predicament under colonialism.     

论旅游立法中非物质文化遗产保护的完善

随着旅游业的繁荣和世界各国对非物质文化遗产保护的重视,在旅游过程中如何促进作为重要旅游资源的非物质文化遗产的保护,实现旅游与非物质文化遗产保护的双赢与互动显得尤为重要。非物质文化遗产与旅游契合于文化性。在依法治国的背景下,以旅游法为载体,通过旅游法的体系化实现对非物质文化遗产的保护是可行而科学的。我国应通过制定旅游基本法、行政法规与部门规章、省级地方旅游法规等法律,实现对非物质文化遗产从宏观到微观多方位的保护。     

George Thomson and the Dialectics of Hellenism

Abstract

When I think of G. Thomson one question which immediately springs to mind is: why was he, and why is he still, so popular in Greece, a country he visited only four or five times? Was it his scholarly work, his Marxist beliefs or his emphasis on the continuity of Greek culture that bestowed on him respect and acclaim among Greeks? It seems to me that it was a combination of all these three factors which resulted in the fact that Thomson is one of the few classical scholars whose major studies have been translated into Greek and enjoyed wide publicity. He is now considered in Greece not only an exception among classicists but an exception among those who have studied the historical development of Greek culture and vehemently stressed its continuity. Despite the fact that his views were largely ignored during the debate of the 1960s and early 70s concerning the question of continuity, and which centred around Byzantium, Thomson's views on the subject must seriously be taken into account.
