运用苏裱技艺修复洪范《水墨竹石图》轴

洪范《水墨竹石图》轴为苏州博物馆三级藏品,此画笔墨简练,技法娴熟,饶有意趣,但画作破损霉变,酸化开裂,亟待修复保护。为此,运用苏裱技艺的修旧如旧技巧,制定详细的修复方案,通过去污、揭褙、隐补、胶矾加固、接笔全色等苏裱传统修复方法,历时半年,对破损的洪范《水墨竹石图》进行了修复,使其得到了及时有效的保护。     

动物考古学与复杂社会——动物群分析在贸易、社会地位和族属研究中的某些应用

自20世纪60年代后期以来,动物考古学成为考古学研究中发展最为迅速的分支学科之一,利用动物骨骼遗存研究复杂社会显示出动物考古学的特殊魅力。本文利用旧大陆西部和新大陆的动物考古学研究案例,首先讨论了动物和动物产品在贸易和交换中的作用,接下来又探讨了动物遗存的差异在多大程度上可以用来重建社会不平等,最后,则批判地考察了动物遗存在辨认史前和历史时代早期族群差异方面的作用。不仅如此,作者还讨论了从事复杂社会研究的动物考古学家所使用的方法,以及这些方法的局限性。作者认为,动物群分析可以作为研究复杂社会经济基础的一个有效方法。动物考古学除了为饮食和生存活动提供有价值的信息之外,动物骨骼分析还可以用于重建过去的交换系统,辨识人们的社会地位和族属。但要做到这一点,动物考古学家必须把分析建立在大量精心收集且出自合适的考古学遗迹单位的动物遗存之上。这意味着动物考古学家必须首先是考古学家,他们应当少花一些时间担心最小个体数、可鉴定标本数以及其他计算生物分类单元丰度的方式的优劣上,而应把更多的时间放在考虑怎样能把动物资料与其他考古学和历史学证据整合起来。因为只有把动物群资料和其他证据结合起来,我们才能理解复杂社会的经济基础。     

Pray the gay away: identity conflict between Christianity and sexuality in Hong Kong sexual minorities

Recognition and respect for sexual minorities in Hong Kong is still a contested area. Public sexual identity politics in Hong Kong has been framed by traditional Chinese gender ideology and imported Christian beliefs which are profoundly negative. Focusing on the interpersonal relationships in three spheres of life, the research adopted the sociological perspective of personal life and the feminist geographers’ idea of spatialization of identity management to analyze how the sexual self of sexual minorities has been marginalized and excluded in intimate social spaces of family, church communities and schools in Hong Kong with specific spatial practices and different forms of power/knowledge. By examining overlooked intimate injustice in personal life, this study illustrates that identity conflicts between Christianity and non-heterosexuality in everyday life is constructed through misrepresentation, misrecognition, harassment and exclusion in intimate relationships. Different types of knowledge are being used to reiterate pre-existing norms and institutionalized patterns of cultural value that constitute the sexual minorities as comparatively unworthy of respect. These micro-political processes involve both conformity and resistance to gender and sexual stereotypes. Participants managed to develop spatial coping strategies such as concealment, compartmentalization, confrontation and alternative sources of support to manage their lives with dignity and self-esteem.     

Study on the lithology of stone chimes (stone musical instruments in ancient China) and Lingbi stone

The oldest extant musical instruments in the world are stone chimes. This music was created by the ‘eight tones’ that could be produced by these ‘stone’ voices. Although many of these stone chimes have been unearthed from sites predating the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in China, their discussion in archaeological reports is usually not very thorough. In this paper, the ancient and modern samples are analysed from the point of view of lithology. The aim is to explore how the ancients chose to make these stones, and to check that the type of stone from which these ancient Chinese stone chimes are made is actually those recorded in previous studies. The results show that most of the ancient stone chimes in China are made of limestone. These chimes required a material with a single, homogeneous and compact mineral composition. Lingbi chimes (a kind of ‘lithophone’ produced in Lingbi county, China, are pure in composition and have a fine microcrystalline structure, which is the best choice for making stone chimes. This paper makes a systematic study of the lithology of Chinese stone chimes. The results supplement a significant lacuna in the study of ‘lithophone’ and ancient stone instruments both in China and on a more global scale.     

民俗控制与祥林嫂之死——对《祝福》的另一种解读方式

一、引言对于祥林嫂之死,正如陈方竞所说,“这确是一个老而又老,似乎已有定论的问题”。在过去,人们从四大绳索、文化吃人、无主名无意识杀人团等等进行了多种阐释。毫无疑问,这些解释都具有合理性。但众所周知,文化杀人更多的侧重于文化对“真的人”(《狂人日记》中语)的精神虐杀;而无主名无意识杀人团又未免     

一度梅花一度春

好一个新世纪的金秋,好一个新面貌的首都,好一个新的起点。十七大所作出的每一项一项决策、提出的每一条方针、表达的每一个思想、设置的每一个目标,都富有历史性意义。百岁老人帅孟奇曾诗云:"一度梅花一度春,傲霜战雪岁迎新。漫山争艳向阳发,粗枝老梅绿叶生。"艺术性地表达了这种政治性的意蕴。

西方舞蹈地理研究进展：从非表征争议到创意地理实践

作为早期非表征理论构建的主要场景,舞蹈是特定想法—行为的表达与实践,有助于探察身体动作在理解和创造表达上的潜能,而舞蹈正式进入文化地理学视域的时期也正好是非表征理论对传统文化地理学的挑战接近成熟的关键时期。随着展演的身体成为分析对象以及编舞成为地理研究中新的非表征方法概念,舞蹈作为社会跨学科实践和工具受到越来越多关注。本文以非表征理论引发的诸多争议为基本背景,力求全面呈现如下两个转变过程：①舞蹈如何从关于身体、展演性、认同等地理学话题,逐渐演变为检测动作节奏、感觉、生成空间的地理实践和方法;②舞蹈地理研究经历如何从批判的舞蹈文化政治学,逐渐转向实践性的展演艺术与创意地理学。文章认为,非表征思想有望用于解决表征之外可能存在的开放性实践难题,丰富调节实践的情感维度,并拓展分析情感交缠的物质主义话语,而转变后的西方舞蹈地理研究对于理解我国现当代文化政治经济的情感属性、思考艺术影响下城市公共社区的差异化也就具有明确的启发价值。
