Inga Clendinnen,Historian (1934–2016)

Inga Clendinnen has been described as an anthropologist, a public intellectual, a writer, a poet in prose, a Mesoamericanist, and a student of the Holocaust and Australia. She was all this, but she insisted that she was always and mainly a historian. A cultural historian without portfolio, I would say. This essay aims to introduce her written work as a whole, its main purposes, themes, and approach.     

Trude Dothan (1922–2016): In Memoriam

Abstract

This paper sheds new light on the most common type of pottery associated with advanced phases of Early Bronze I (EB I) in the southern Jordan valley: the distinctive family or group known as Um Hammad Ware, or Proto-Urban D (PUD) Ware. To date, this kind of pottery was thought to be concentrated mostly around the site of Tell Um Hammad. This study presents new evidence suggesting that this ware was dispersed over a region considerably wider than previously understood, and that the centre of its manufacture was probably in the region of western Wadi Far'ah. This paper also explores the possibility that the origins of this family are to be found in the pottery traditions of the Golan region during the Chalcolithic period.     

上海城市记忆中的孙中山(1925—1949)

近代上海对于孙中山逝世后的记忆有其独特的历史发展轨迹。第一次国共合作破裂前,国民党左、右派系的党统之争喧宾夺主,成为上海一地孙中山纪念活动的主题。1927—1937年,"大上海计划"取得的市政成就多假中山之名、行建设之实,事实上与孙中山崇拜运动的关系并不深。抗日战争全面爆发后,孙中山作为夺取政权与实施统治的象征符号,历经毁灭与重塑,遭遇反复争夺。以近代上海为案例研究,可见城市个性与孙中山崇拜运动多重互动的复杂面相。上海的孙中山纪念遗存较少,其间隐藏着深层的历史成因,既可归因于上海长期保持着"一市三治"的城市格局,又与南京国民政府对上海华界的城市定位密切相关。
