牲口的记忆

牲口,是对牛、马、骡、驴等家畜的总称。现在我们的视野中很少见到牲口了,但在我的少儿时代,河湟农村随时随地都可见到牲口,牲口是河湟农人亲密的伙伴,     

山的怀念

我孩提时那些温馨的回忆,大都和山联系在一起。那时候,我同村子里的小伙伴们一起上山放牛、打柴、游戏。山林是我们的乐园。我们特别喜欢捉野鸡。山上的野鸡比家里的鸡要大得多,黑褐色的,夏天的夜晚最多,几乎满山都听到“咯——咯”的野鸡叫声。     

Memories and Miscreants: Teenage Tales of Terror

With this paper, we address the culture of fear around youth violence in the US, and the way it is manifest in news media. We elaborate on the sexist, classist and racist biases in reporting and the ways violence is unequally commemorated and dismissed. We argue that place and, in particular, the myth of Middle America is a large player in selective memory.     

Memories of John Eccles

This article contains an account of the career of John Eccles that can be divided into two parts. The first extends from 1925, when he won a Rhodes scholarship to Magdalen College Oxford, to 1975, when he took voluntary retirement from the State University of New York at Buffalo. During this period, he set up six different laboratories in which he carried out research on synaptic mechanisms that provide the basis of neuroscience. The second period is the 20 years between his retirement and death in Switzerland, which he spent on the problem of the relationship between mind and brain.     

基韦斯特的海明威往事

基韦斯特的旅行吸引力,五成来自于美国全民偶像、著名作家海明威,三成来自其位于美国最南端的地理位置,还有二成来自文艺而复古的法式小镇风情。陆地和海洋在这座融合了19世纪魅力和现代美景的小镇上交汇,这里曾经的＂拥有者＂法国人在此留下了清新活泼的建筑,也留下了慵懒闲散的气质。基韦斯特的海明威故居在众多颜色鲜明的建筑中并不起眼,尽管你不可能不经过它却还是很可能错过。一块包含开放时间和门票信息的牌子悬挂在街角的院墙上。参观故居的成人需要花费13美金,而儿童的费用是6美金,这个价格并不低廉却十分值得。     

Drowned Memories: The Submerged Places of the Winnemem Wintu

This article is a brief overview of an instance where landscape inundation has disconnected culture from place. The Winnemem Wintu, a Native American tribe in Northern California, had most of their ancestral landscape along the McCloud River submerged by the construction of Shasta Dam just after World War II. The tribe’s remaining traditional cultural properties are under continual threat of loss and/or destruction, leaving the tribe’s ability to practice traditional ceremonies crippled by legal battles and fights against the continual assertion of United States hegemonic power over tribal cultural identity. As part of archaeological research on these submerged places, the tribe’s spiritual leader, Caleen Sisk-Franco, and Tribal Headman, Mark Franco, spoke with the author about these threats and how their culture must adapt to meet them.     

童年记忆里的故乡

我出生的那个小山村,坐落在祁连山支脉大坂山南麓、康烈尖山(海拔4196米,群众称阿米多藏山)西南坡下,两岭夹峙,属于脑山地区。 孩提的生活是沉浸在姥姥的故事中的。姥姥家坐落在下院,与我们家的院落有通道相连,两家人从通道随意往来,无拘无束。姥姥家的院落称为“独庄廓”,大门是纯松木雕刻而成的,院内四面皆有房,正屋房顶还建有三间木质佛堂。那时姥姥已瘫痪在炕,不能行走。异常淘气的我,每当遭到父母责骂或鞭抽时,姥姥那里便成了庇护所。姥姥每天摇着转经筒,望着窗外,     

遥远记忆里的村庄

当我写下这篇文章的时候,时针已指向了子夜时刻,我所在的这个城市一片寂静,记忆中村口那棵历经沧桑的老柳树,依然屹立在银色的月光之下,静静地凝视着古老的村庄。这棵老柳树,记载着我少小时的片段记忆,记载着村庄多少年来所发生的一切故事。     

随风远去的记忆

城市里没有月亮。这是作家韩少功回到八溪峒的故乡之后发出的感慨,其实从农村走进城市的人都有这种认知和失意。然而,从城市第二次回到梦牵魂绕     

Oral History and Public Memories

How does oral history, based as it is on individual memory,affect beliefs about the history of a whole community? Is oralhistory compelling enough to influence an interpretation ofa community's history when powerful groups insist on a differentinterpretation? Hamilton and Shopes have chosen a collectionof articles that present a range of perspectives, a diversityof problems, and a variety of specific sites in which to testanswers to these questions. Oral history interviews often turnup surprises, and this book is full of surprises. In the first section, David Neufield begins his article, "ParksCanada, the Commemoration of Canada, and the Northern AboriginalOral
