祖灵守秘 土林之旅的情思

当我站在被称为大自然鬼斧神工的元谋土林时,我能想象出那个混沌的洪荒世界。混沌、广阔无垠的境界;洪荒,世界开辟前的蒙昧状态。我能感觉到朦胧的金黄色调,异样的声响,混沌之中,闪现出两颗牙齿,隐约听见婴儿的啼哭,哭声从远而近,金沙在闪,阳光脆亮,哭声渐远渐近,人类之门开启了……。如今的土林依然保持着亘古的宁静,那个孕育了人类的子宫,依然那么深邃而寂静,似乎什么也不曾发生。     

The three last years of Manuel II Palaeologus' reign between two stroke attacks: aphasia or not?

The authors attempt to solve the enigma about the possible aphasia of the Byzantine Emperor Manuel II Palaeologus (1391-1425) in the 3-year period between his first and his second and fatal stroke. The texts of historians and chroniclers reveal that Manuel remained semi-paralyzed at bed and his motor disability alienated him from the state affairs and condemned him to isolation from all embassies and contact with others, except his family. Only the funeral oration of the Bishop Bessarion raises the suspicion of a speechless emperor. All testimonies referring to this infirmity are examined.

重新思考国际关系中的基准时间

国际关系学的研究与教学中有着"一套正统的"基准时间(benchmark date):1500年、1648年、1919年、1945年和1989年。笔者认为,国际关系学者需要对这些作为内外参照物的正统基准时间进行质问,对基准时间被确立的方式进行批判性思考,并对基准时间进行修正,以便能够更好地反应宏观历史中的国际动态。第一部分对建构该学科自我认知的正统基准时间进行质疑。第二和第三部分讨论成为基准时间的资格与原因。我们从主流国际关系理论(现实主义、自由主义、建构主义/英国学派和社会学研究途径)对基准时间进行了分类,并总结其标准。第四部分进而建构了一套可以拓宽学科理论与历史视野的修正后的基准时间。我们设计了一种基准时间评级的方式,并针对近期的候选者提出了一种获得基准时间资格的方法,从而对该学科的基本时间点进行批判性思考提供了更好的启发。一套修正后的基准时间能够帮助国际关系的重心从关注战争与和平的动力转移到关注更为宽广的宏观历史动态上。

蕾丝遗珍

从内部空间狭小的欧系轿车里钻出来本身已经相当有难度,头戴33厘米高的帽子就更是几乎不可能全身而出。然而87岁的亚历克西娅·卡乌达尔和90岁的玛丽一路易丝·洛佩埃还是顺利从友人的银色雪铁龙里脱身,姿态即便称不上优雅,也算颇为体面。招待她们的东道主赶忙上前笑脸欢迎,那份恭敬让人猜测她们或许是贵族。     

Stone Tool Production of the Longshan Culture at the Liangchengzhen Site in Rizhao of Shandong

The manufacture of stone tools was one of the most important craft production activities in prehistoric human society. Previously, lack of sound evidence had made it too early to confirm whether or not stone tool production during the Longshan cultural period had already transformed from a primitive self-sufficient household mode of production to a specialized mode of production. Excavation of the site of the Longshan cultural site at Liangchengzhen in Rizhao, Shandong from 1998–2001 through meticulous field methods such as sieving and floatation yielded a large number of lithic reduction tools, ranging from grinding stones, stone hammers, and polishing stones to raw materials, semi-finished products, and lithic debitage of various sizes, resulting from the lithic reduction process. This excavation suggests that the Liangchenzhen site was a settlement site where the complete process of lithic reduction was practiced. Through comparison with contemporary large-scale excavated sites of the Longshan culture, it is suggested that the Area 1 at the Liangchengzhen site was a lithic reduction locality with a relatively high degree of specialization which was used for hundreds of years. It is possible that stone tool production had already advanced to a stage of relatively high specialization during the Longshan cultural period in the Haidai region.     

珍贵的和平岁月——圣经城市里的古代生活

在数千年的征战和纷争间隙,和平显得弥足珍贵。在和平降临的时候,以色列的人们充分利用水源和土地,殚精竭虑地耕种和收获;同时,他们利用以色列联系了几个大洲和文明的优越地理位置,广泛开展商贸活动,在沙漠中留下了精巧的农业和商业建筑。     

圣经城市里的古代生活

正在古代以色列,王国和宗教体制跌宕起伏,但是有一点可以确定,那就是《妥拉》和《圣经》中所述说的先知性预言不断成为现实,其中描述的当时的政治和文化活动及建筑特性,最终都为考古发掘所证实。其中《圣经》里记载的耶利哥城和耶路撒冷城在考古过程中所发现的证据尤为显著。迦南的古代生活迦南是以色列和巴勒斯坦古时的名称,主要包括地中海东部沿岸地区。上帝应许犹太人和阿拉伯人的共同祖先——亚伯拉罕,会将以色列民带入迦南美地——应许之地。远古迦南地区存在以色列定居人群的主要证据来自两个方面:考
