浅谈《清史稿艺文志拾遗》的美中不足

王绍曾主编《清史稿艺文志拾遗》,堪称当代一部拾遗补阙、嘉惠学林的目录学著作。该书虽以体例创新,著录宏富,考辨求是见长,但又略显美中不足,诸如重复著录、著录之书归属不一、漏收《清史稿·艺文志》著录之书的瑕疵,亦复不少。     

宋代目录学研究的新突破——评《玉海艺文校证》

<正>古代学者治学,向来讲究"辨章学术,考镜源流",这种追求促使学者对各种各样的书籍分门别类,进行著录和解题,产生了一系列的书目。从汉代刘向、刘歆父子编撰的《七略》、《别录》到清代四库馆臣编纂的《四库全书总目》,历代书目的编撰源源不绝,为各个时代的学术研究提供了丰富的资源,也形成了一种围绕书目的编纂与研究的专门学问——目录学。中国古代目录学自从汉代以来不断发展,到了宋代,达到高峰。宋代学者不仅编纂出众多著名的书目著作,如《崇文总目》、《郡斋读书志》、《直斋书录解题》等,     

《小尔雅》概说

《小尔雅》是继《尔雅》之后又一重要雅学著作,可是迄今还没有现代注本,况且熟悉《小尔雅》也有助于古籍整理,为此本文将对《小尔雅》作概括介绍。 在现存目录学著作中,《小尔雅》始著录于东汉班固《汉书·艺文志》,收入孝经家,列在《尔雅》之后,未出作者姓名。至东晋时期,李轨作     

从目录学史看《书画书录解题》在书画专科目录方面的成就

书画艺术文献是目前文献学研究领域中的薄弱环节。本文从古代艺术文献目录发生、发展角度,对出现在本世纪三十年代初中国目录学史上第一部书画专科目录学著作《书画书录解题》,从体例分类、著录思想等诸多方面加以比较分析,揭示了该书在艺术目录研究领域方面的创获与成就,并从一侧面反映了书画文献发展源流及目前所存在的问题。     

历代湖北词人知见词集简目初编

经过检阅多种总集、别集、选本、方志、馆藏目录及目录学著作,可以考录出至少一百七十九家历代湖北词人的词集馆藏情况及零散之什的具体来源。为力求其全,于仅知其有词或词集而暂未之见者,亦酌情予以著录。     

清代广东妇女著作知见辑补

冼玉清《广东女子艺文考》和胡文楷《历代妇女著作考》对古代广东妇女著作的搜集具有筚路蓝缕之功。在二书基础上,经多方搜集,辑录二书失收或两位先生未曾亲见的存本五种;辑录已获著录,然胡先生未曾寓目的存本五种;补正二书著录信息不详或有误的存本5种。     

六朝文学专科目录辑考

六朝时期是中国文学跨入自觉发展的时代。作为这一发展的重要标志之一,是文人文集的大量编集和在此基础上文学专科目录的一时繁盛。对于前者,《隋书·经籍志》别集类的著录提供了详尽材料,历代学者也多有徵引论辩,此不赘述。对于后者,由于原著早佚,《隋志》著录又极为简略,故一向未受重视。虽然姚名达和王重民先生的《中国目录学史》中均曾论及,惜语焉不详,未作深考;清代的辑佚家们亦未注意及此。本文拟辑录其佚文,考论其始末,以再现六朝文学专科目录的盛况,从而由目录学的角度反映六朝文学发展之一斑。     

浅谈艺文志的编写

一、艺文志编写概说艺文志又称文献志、经籍志。设置艺文志是方志的传统。史书设艺文志,始于东汉班固的《汉书·艺文志》,以后历代正史基本上都辑有艺文志,著录一代文献目录。地方志著录艺文比正史晚,南宋高似孙的《剡录》(今浙江嵊县地方志)第五、六卷著录当地文人的著作,并辑录有关当地的诗文,这是现存最早的地方艺文志之一。明清两代,地方艺文志大量出现。对于中国纪传体正史来说,艺文志就是著作目录。传统方志中的艺文志除著录著作目录外,     

清代目录学研究述评

正清代学术是中国古代学术发展史上最后一个高峰,其中目录学的发展更是达到了前所未有的高度。清人自己就对本朝目录学进行过研究,如李慈铭《越缦堂读书记》专列"目录题跋"一节,对部分清代目录学著作进行过简要概述;叶昌炽《藏书纪事诗》也涉及众多清人藏书目录。近代至新中国成立初期,清代目录学研究主要集

Telling small stories: spaces of knowledge and the practice of geography

This article examines how the practice of learning geography, and the arenas in which knowledge-making takes place, can be usefully positioned within changing histories of the discipline. It contends that networks of action – understood through the intersection of social sites, subjects and sources – present a conceptual framework and narrative focus for the re-consideration of specific episodes from geography's past. The interventions made here are informed and illustrated by a 'small story' about the doing of geography. Based on different personal accounts, the story revives a series of events, encounters, dialogues and images dating back to the winter of 1951 at Glenmore Lodge, Scotland. This educational institution in the Cairngorm mountains offered children from urban areas the opportunity to learn field studies and the skills of 'outdoor citizenship'. Initially, the focus falls on Margaret Jack, a 14-year-old field-course participant. Her learning experiences are traced through personal letters, a diary and a field journal dating from that time, and her recent recollections of this event. Margaret's account dovetails with the story of her field studies instructor, Robin Murray. Robin's role is traced through his learning experiences as a geography undergraduate at Aberdeen University, and the recent recollections of Catriona Murray, his wife.     

Das Wissen der Schulden. Recht,Kulturtechnik und Alltagserfahrung im liberalen Kapitalismus

The Knowledge of Debt: Law, Media Technique, and Everyday Experience in Liberal Capitalism. Performing an object such as ‘the economy’ hinges on practices of formatting knowledge. The article proposes to look at such instituting moments in connection with social conflicts over the legitimate rules of exchange. This is exemplified by way of recounting the story of the codification of Swiss bankruptcy law in 1889. In order to homogenize the legal procedures of debt collection and bankruptcy, two subject categories were instituted: ‘merchants’ and ‘non-merchants’. These different categories were thought to account for the diverging temporalities and spaces of credit exchange in everyday economic life. The introduction of the commercial register, a media-technical apparatus, enabled a formal distinction between ‘merchants’ and ‘non-merchants’. However, this boundary was contested and proved to be porose.     

Two radiocarbon dates for freshwater shells from hierakonpolis: Archaeological and geological interpretations

Shells of two species of freshwater bivalve (Unio willcocksi Bullen Newton and Etheria elliptica Lamarck) from the predynastic Gerzean (Nagada II) Decorated Tomb at Hierakonpolis, Egypt have given dates of 5000±90 bp for the tomb, and 12,900±120 bp for an episode of Nile terrace accumulation (correlated here with the Sahaba-Darau aggradation event). The archaeological and geological significance of these results is discussed, together with an outline of problems associated with radiocarbon dating of shell. Comparisons are made with the few other radiocarbon dates available for the Predynastic period in Egypt and possible reasons for the presence of shells in the tomb are considered.     

Some chronological implications of a fossil molluscan assemblage from a neolithic site at Brook,Kent, England

The later post-glacial history of a valley in the chalk escarpment near Brook, Kent, is described, based on molluscan stratigraphy, archaeological evidence and radio-carbon dating. Differences in size and colour banding, respectively, of fossil and living representatives of two species of land snails, Pomatias elegans (Müller) and Cepaea nemoralis (L.), are correlated with climatic change during the post-glacial period. The problems of the use of fossil shells of these species as samples for radiocarbon dating are discussed.     

China's Dynamic Industrial Sector: The Internet Industry

A Singapore-based economic geographer explores and analyzes the spatially uneven evolution of the Internet industry in China, arguing that the country's immense regional disparity in the provision of Internet services is best explained by the interplay of place- and path-dependence. The author demonstrates how the highly uneven regional endowments in relevant industrial and entrepreneurial resources have led to the substantial and persistent regional imbalance within China's emerging "new economy." His initial survey of the country's 100 leading Internet content providers (firms), identified from a listing of ca. 11,700 commercial websites, is selectively augmented to reflect an increase of over 70 million Internet users in 2007, reaching a total of 253 million in June 2008, and thus overtaking the United States as the world's largest Internet market.

The 1911 International Exposition in Rome: architecture, archaeology, and national identity

This paper discusses the 1911 International Exposition in Rome and illustrates how this patriotic celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the Italian Sate utilized symbolic landscapes of architecture and archaeology to promote nationalist sentiments of italianità and romanità centered on the young capital of Rome. Through modern art exhibitions at the Valle Giulia, scientific conferences at the Castel Sant’Angelo, archaeological exhibits on the Roman Empire in the Baths of Diocletian, and regional Italian pavilions in the Piazza d’Armi, exposition officials offered a complex representation of Italian national identity that was modern yet ancient, cosmopolitan yet bucolic, European yet regional, and imperial yet developing.     

The Rise and Fall of Alexander the Great – The Need for Medical Analysis: Reply to Commentaries

Alexander the Great died in 323 B.C. from an unknown cause. By elucidating the nature of his death, we can better interpret various aspects of Alexandrian history. Alexander’s death may have ensued from the sequelae of a congenital scoliotic syndrome. It would therefore be of significance to note that one of the greatest leaders in history who conquered much of the then known world may have been suffering from a physical disability.     

Hospital Drama: Visual Theatres of the Medical Rendezvous from Asylum to Hospital with Reference to Specific Works by Anna Furse

Abstract

This paper is informed by Furse’s practice as a theatre maker in two fields of output that are connected by two factors: first, the presence of the woman patient — hysteric/subfertile respectively — within the clinical gaze; second, the significance of the womb to each pathology. In the treatment of each (explored in Furse’s theatre), lens based technologies play their part, whilst the cultural and medical can be seen to have overlapped to produce specific meaning with regard to Her body and its spectacularity. The article presents an overview of some of the key issues in precisely how the woman’s body becomes spectacular within this prosthetic medical gaze and how the medical — and theatrically designed spaces to represent these — become meaningful and potent proxemics that in turn inform medical/ theatrical spectatorship. Overarching nineteenth-century protocols at the Salpêtrière Hospital in Paris (where Furse’s Augustine (Big Hysteria) is set) to contemporary imaging technologies used in the treatment of subfertility with Assisted Reproduction Technologies (the topic of her Art of A.R.T. projects), it examines the way in which photography develops through cinema to X-Ray, ultrasound and then 3D/4D ultrasound to ‘capture’ the woman’s body in ways by which she becomes muted and exposed. These occular technologies that extend the gaze, first to an exterior subject and then, eventually, traversing the flesh without knife, lend specific performativity to the ‘patient’ women, within the context of hysterias and reproductive impairments respectively. Finally, issues of suspension of disbelief are addressed. The spectator’s faith in the screen-based image of Her spectacular body is interrupted in Furse’s work, which is also keenly interested in the effect of such imagery on the woman’s sense of Self. The historical and cultural leaps in this article argue that there is indeed a trajectory through the history of medical imaging since the first application of photography to anatomy to the more advanced scoping technologies of medical imaging today, and that in each era, the production of these images remain fraught with cultural implications.     

The Death of Alexander the Great – A Spinal Twist of Fate

Alexander the Great died in 323 B.C. from an unknown cause. Physical depictions of this historical figure reveal the likelihood of a cervical scoliotic deformity. This is substantiated with the medical history and is correlated with his untimely death. For the first time, it is concluded that Alexander’s death may have ensued from the sequelae of a congenital scoliotic syndrome.
