论《秦风》产生的时代、地域

根据秦西垂第一陵园出土文物及考古资料,《秦风》产生的时代,当从秦非子以下至秦康公之世。《秦风》产生于今甘肃东部天水与今陕西西部的"西府",即宝鸡地区。而《秦风》十首中主要的、有影响的篇目则产生于天水地区。如从历史的角度讲,《诗经》中在今陕西境内产生的诗歌,应该是《周南》、《召南》,而不应该是《秦风》。"秦"是秦人东进时由天水带过去的名称。     

The Time and Place of Nostalgia: Re-situating a French Disease

The history of nostalgia as a clinical category has many highly specific national stories. This paper traces an aspect of this history, examining aspects of nostalgia's changing meanings in nineteenth-century France. Nostalgia was a disease triggered by displacement, which became medically and politically important after the French Revolution, when military surgeons encountered epidemics of nostalgia in the armed forces. Understood as a form of pathological homesickness, the category straddled environmental medicine and emerging ideas about insanity. The diagnosis became particularly important to Idéologue writers as a case study in regulating and redirecting the emotions, demonstrating the efficacy of their new "moral" treatments and an ability to generate patriotic attachment to the new nation state. Over the course of the century, nostalgia disintegrated as a medical condition reflecting a decline in environmental explanations for disease within medicine, and increasingly plastic meanings attached to nostalgic desire.     

Empire is the Enemy of Love: Edith Noor's Progress and Other Stories

Cases discovered in the British Colonial Office archives of the 1920s and 1930s show how different branches of the imperial state struggled with interracial couples and families to define their rightful place in the empire. As discursive analysis historically contextualised shows, state servants striving to maintain colonial power relations held assumptions about racial and cultural differences that reacted in unpredictable ways with their deeply gendered and classed judgements about interracial marriages and the women in them. This evidence reveals that racial distinction or ‘whiteness’ was neither the sole nor even the primary variable driving these decisions. Discourses of gender, class, culture, sexual danger and spatial location were equally powerful.     

考古视角:人类早期制盐出现的时间和地点

人类是从何时开始制盐的?这个问题考古学家至今还没有一个明确的答案。在狩猎-采集经济阶段,人类靠取食动物的肉、血、奶等满足身体所需的盐分,不需要额外再补充盐,而且也不会制盐。即便进入全新世以后,世界上仍有很多狩猎-采集民族不事农耕,也不制盐,有些民族甚至不怎么吃盐。在人类历史早期,尽管还不会制盐,但大自然有天然的馈赠。在中国山西南部的运城市的河东盐池,每年春夏之交,南风袭来,池水中便自然结晶出白白的盐花。在有些盐泉出露的地区,人们甚至直接开采天然卤水食用。
