Overview of Contributions in Geographical Analysis: Waldo Tobler

The academic contributions of Waldo Tobler are noteworthy and significant, spanning essentially all disciplines that involve the study of geographic phenomena. While much attention has been given to his observations of the first law of geography, there is much more substance to his larger body of research. It is especially fitting that this commemorative special issue is appearing in Geographical Analysis as Tobler published extensively in the journal, beginning in the first volume in 1969 up to volume 42 in 2010, making important contributions to quantitative theoretical geography. His research helped to build and sustain the journal, laying the foundation for what is the premier quantitative geography outlet today. This article reviews his publication activity in Geographical Analysis.     

The Obscenity Bargain: Ralph Ginzburg for Fanny Hill

The next‐to‐the‐last witness at the July 1968 hearings on the nomination of Abe Fortas to replace Earl Warren as Chief Justice was James Clancy. Along with another attorney, Charles Keating, who would later gain infamy in the savings and loan scandal of the 1980s, Clancy appeared on behalf of Citizens for Decent Literature, an anti‐smut organization that had filed amicus briefs supporting censorship “as essential to the development of good family living” ¹ in the Supreme Court's important obscenity decisions. ² Clancy asserted that everyone should see the materials Fortas had held were entitled to First Amendment protection, and so he had assembled a thirty‐minute compilation of them for the Judiciary Committee's viewing.     

选本、别集、赋话对先唐俗赋的保存与传播

由于传播方式的原因,民间原生态的俗赋几乎没有文本样态传播至今,我们今天之所以还能推测民间俗赋的存在,全赖于各种历史文献中记录保存的文人俗赋作品,以及人们对其进行"批评"的文字所传达的信息,也正是这些"批评"使我们知道了历史上民间俗赋与文人俗赋的实存状态.文学选本是一种特殊的批评方式,也是一种普遍的有效的传播方式,俗赋作...     

旅游竞争力评价范式：反思与启示

旅游竞争力研究已经成为旅游学术界的一个热点。然而,国内外关于旅游竞争力的评价,基本上是沿用波特的国家竞争力评价范式,相互之间的差异无外乎“指标选择”或“权重配置”两个方面。本文在回顾文献的基础上,从理论和实证两个角度对当前的旅游竞争力评价范式进行了反思。从理论分析来看,当前旅游竞争力评价范式的假设前提并不成立,对指标的选取也值得商榷;从实证角度来看,其所建构的模型难以解释诸多旅游地的发展。本文认为旅游竞争力的大小绝不等同于各个竞争要素“绝对数值”的简单求和,而是隐含在由旅游体验所决定的需求结构、竞争要素之间的结构性构造以及不同竞争目的她的“相对地位”之中。简言之,旅游竞争力的大小,从需求来看,取决于需求结构及其变化;从供给上看,取决于竞争要素的相对地位及其结构所决定的旅游地的相对优势。
