Schneider,Helen M., Keeping the Nation＇s House.＂ Domestic Management and the Making of Modern China

According to the ancient wisdom of the Great Learning （Daxue）, the regulation of a state extends from proper regulation of family affairs. This doctrine echoes throughout Helen Schneider＇s fascinating study of how the imported discipline of home economics （jiazheng xue） became domesticated in China before 1949. Like other new disciplines in China,     

史学研究中利用地方志的几种方法--兼谈方志的资料性与学术性

地方志在史学研究中的价值已为人熟知,本文重点探讨史学研究中利用方志资料的几种不同取向,即作为资料直接引用、作制度分析后引用、透过背后社会权力话语后引用和透过文化规范后引用等4种利用方志的不同方式,并试图发现它与近年来学术思潮和史学研究的转向可能存在的关系,以及我们究竟能在多大程度上利用地方志资料.在此基础上,作者认为方志是一种资料性著述,并且建议第二轮新修方志应加强对首轮修志情况的记述.     

童言无忌

小好奶奶把头发染成了黑色,小好很想不通,问:“奶奶你的头发怎么变成黑色了呀?”奶奶敷衍说:“不染一下,人家会说小好奶奶怎么这么老啦。”小好说:“奶奶,你的头发是白色的,现在你骗人家是黑色的,是个不诚实的孩子。”牛牛妈妈让牛牛多吃一些饭,就对牛牛说:“你要多吃点饭,这样会更聪明的。”上街的时候,牛牛妈妈和爸爸骑摩托车,爷爷骑自行车,牛牛先到了,爷爷却还没到。牛牛担心地说:“爷爷晚上吃了三碗饭,怎么还不认识路哦!”妈妈给毛毛断奶,毛毛伤心得哭个不停。苗苗看见怀里的毛毛哭得真伤心,就对毛毛妈说:“阿姨,把你怀里的牛奶给毛毛吃…     

槟榔的隐患

年轻女子们沿着台湾的大街小巷站好位置,兜售着一种危险却越来越受欢迎的小吃：槟榔。顾客们把熟石灰抹在槟榔树的种子上,再用蒌叶包起来——“蒌叶果”的别名由此而来——接着便丢入口中大嚼。吃这种东西会上瘾。和烟草嚼块一样,槟榔能使人产生微醺的感觉,减轻饥饿感,消除疲劳。吃这种东西的样子也很不堪,它刺激唾液腺,然后把涌出来的口水染成鲜红色。     

Rights to food with a human face in the global south

This article seeks to dispel the popular myth surrounding the food crises which precipitated food riots in the global South in 2008. Arguing from a structural and historical perspective, the article suggests that global hunger is a deep-rooted crisis that is embedded in the social and structural variables associated within the nation-state that places a restraint on the self-regulating capacity of nation-states in the South. Internationalizing the food crisis, however, will do more harm to the south’s agricultural transformation and rural development. The article argues for integrated rural development that will increase output growth through an institutional, technological, and marketing strategy.     

美索不达米亚早期食物生产的生态学——史前农人与牧人开发一系列位置相邻却差异显著的气候区

大美索不达米亚,在这里广泛地定义为阿拉伯河（Shattal—Arab）各支流汇人的整个地区,长期以来它是公众兴趣和学术研究的舞台。近年来,关注点转向这样一个事实,即它是世界上少数几个农业与动物饲养独立出现的地区之一。虽然已有许多近东粮食生产起源方式出色的文化历史学复原,但是大多数并未直接解决感兴趣的非专业人士最常提出的一些生态学问题。本文研究其中的某些问题。

Information and Local Activism: The Case of Two County Instructors in Early Nineteenth-Century Fujian and Taiwan

This article examines the efforts of two county instructors (jiaoyu), Xie Jinluan and Zheng Jiancai, to bolster the security of the maritime frontier and stabilize local society in early 19th century Fujian and Taiwan. Occurring during the Jiaqing transition in which Chinese elites increasingly voiced concerns about problems afflicting the empire, Xie and Zheng waged an information campaign to lobby for local issues while embedded in county educational posts. Printing their treatises through their alma mater, the Aofeng Academy, Fuzhou’s premier educational institution that promoted a rigorous Neo-Confucian scholarly orientation, and using well-positioned Aofeng alumni to take their causes to Beijing, the instructors were able to make changes on the local level and provide Qing officials with a new source of “expert” local information that bypassed the regular bureaucracy. By producing information on themes of local governance and manipulating the elite network of the Aofeng Academy that connected Fujian to circles of power in Beijing, Xie and Zheng became models of local political action, influencing new generations of Fujianese scholars over the 19th century.
