Rural–urban divide and identity conflicts of migrant Muslim students in Northwest China

Abstract

A huge flow of internal migrants in China is an indicator of the significant changes in the geographical and cultural patterns brought by China’s recent economic growth. The Hui (10.6 million), as one of the largest ethnic minority groups in China, and the Dongxiang, with almost 100% of them holding the Islamic belief, are migrating from rural areas to urban centers in Northwest China. Analyzing the qualitative data from narrative stories, thematic photos, group discussions, semi-structured interviews, and field observations, this study interprets the cultural experience of rural Muslim migrant students in Chinese public schools and examines their complex and fluid rural–urban identities. This study further discusses the possibilities of including and integrating rural migrant students in cities.     

桂平博物馆馆藏东汉双耳铜甑铸造工艺及其保护修复研究

广西桂平博物馆藏东汉铜甑对于研究广西地区青铜器冶铸技术的发展具有重要的研究价值。但器物长期保存于潮湿环境中,矿化严重、保存状况较差,亟须保护修复。本研究应用X射线影像观察、金相显微镜、扫描电镜及能谱分析、模拟实验验证等方法研究了器物的铸造工艺、合金成分以及锈蚀产物成分。结果表明该器物为整体铸造成形,器物铸造时使用了轮制技术、刮板造型工艺以及铸后刻纹的工艺,箅部范块制作过程是用器身模翻制器身范后脱模,将器身模的圈足部分切下,然后在圈足泥模上刻出箅部型腔。在此基础上,遵循最低限度干预原则,力求将传统的文物修复手段与现代修复理念相结合,通过除锈、修补等保护修复措施后,不但提高了器物的整体稳定性,而且达到了可以展陈,发掘文物潜在价值的要求。     

日本侵华战争时期女明星的形象建构——以李香兰为例

日本侵华战争时期,中日两国人民除了蒙受战争苦难之外,还在不同程度上遇到国族与文化认同等问题,女明星也不例外。身为日本人的李香兰,在舞台上往往是以中国人的形象或主体身份示人,并闪现星光。然而,日本侵华当局的幕后掌控,民族意识的萌生,性别的纠缠,使她在战争的特殊环境里处于矛盾、挣扎之中,艰难地做出国族的选择和认同。在多种力量的交互作用下,最终完成了第二次中日战争时期女明星李香兰的形象建构,其中也包含着李香兰个人的主观想象和抉择。不容否认的是,战争时期建构的女明星形象在一定程度上影响着李香兰战后的行为。然而随着局势的不断变化,和平与发展成为国际潮流,李香兰在社会大舞台上扮演了新的角色,并树立起新的社会形象,赋予日本侵华战争时期女明星以新的内涵。     

A slender new archaic beetle in Burmese amber (Coleoptera: Archostemata)

Jarzembowski, Edmund A., Wang, B. &; Zheng, D., October 2017. A slender new archaic beetle in Burmese amber (Coleoptera: Archostemata). Alcheringa 42, 110–114. ISSN 0311-5518.

A new archostematan beetle, Clessidromma palmeri gen. et sp. nov. (Insecta: Coleoptera) is described from mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber from northern Myanmar. It has a uniquely specialized body form for which a new stem tribe, Clessidromatini trib. nov., is proposed in the subfamily Ommatinae of the family Cupedidae sensu lato.

Revised conodont and fusuline biostratigraphy of the Bamchi Formation (Pyongan Supergroup) at the Bamchi section,Yeongwol and the Carboniferous–Permian boundary in South Korea

Wang, Q., Wang, Y., Qi, Y., Wang, X., Choh, S.J., Lee, D.C. & Lee, D.J., November 2017. Yeongwol and the Carboniferous–Permian boundary in South Korea. Alcheringa 42, 245–258. ISSN 0311-5518

Six conodont and one fusuline zones are recognized on basis of a total of 25 conodont and 13 fusuline species (including seven unidentified species or species given with cf. or aff. in total) from the Bamchi Formation, Yeongwol, Korea. The conodont zones include the Streptognathodus bellus, S. isolatus, S. cristellaris, S. sigmoidalis, S. fusus and S. barskovi zones in ascending order, which can be correlated with the conodont zones spanning the uppermost Gzhelian to Asselian Age of the Permian globally. The fusuline zone is named the Rugosofusulina complicata–Pseudoschwagerina paraborealis zone. The co-occurrence of the conodont Streptognathodus isolatus (the Global Boundary Stratotype Section and Point index for the base of Permian) and Pseudoschwagerina (a Permian inflated fusuline) indicates that the Carboniferous–Permian boundary can be placed in the lower part of the Bamchi Formation in South Korea.

五代北宋高邮秦氏家族世系研究——以江苏扬州发现秦咏夫妇墓志为线索

扬州发现两合石质墓志,其主人北宋秦咏及其夫人朱氏,应系北宋著名文士秦观之祖父母。秦氏祖茔江都西山,即今西湖镇蜀岗村吕庄组七仙墩一带。通过对历史文献资料的梳理,可以对秦氏家族世系展开进一步考察,纠正秦氏家族部分成员在古代文献流传过程中出现的错误名讳记载,部分成员应因避讳等原因存在更改名字的现象;还可厘清包括秦咏及孙男秦观在内的秦氏十代家族世系,以及主要成员的生平事迹。     

凝视或遗忘:广东省博物馆临时展览观众行为研究

消费时代的博物馆将展览视为吸引观众的主要手段,观众观展行为研究成为展览效果评估的重要手段。以广东省博物馆临时展览"相看两不厌——馆藏明清瓷画与绘画展览"为例,对观众观展行为的研究采用了参与式观察法来收集观众行动信息,并借助随机抽样的问卷调查收集观众对展览各要素的评价。质性和定量相结合的研究结果表明,观众对展览的印象和评价,取决于他们在展品前停留的时间、吸引他们的展品数量以及他们的观展行为。相较于内容和展览逻辑,观众对展览的满意度,很大程度上由视觉效果决定,然而,对观众吸引力高的展品并不是观众"凝视"持续力强的展品,不同类型观众的不同视觉取向意味着不同的满意度。
