Past continuous: archaeological representations on Israeli banknotes and coins

ABSTRACT

This article analyzes the special role of archaeological representations on the legal tender in Israel. Money is one of the most pervasive symbolic instruments in daily life, frequently used for nation-building and carrying a political agenda. The use of archaeological representations on Israeli money has a clear political role: to revalidate the national Jewish-Zionist resurrection, to justify the nation’s claim for its historical land, and to draw the state’s borders through archaeological findings. This article sheds light on the centrality given to archaeology by members of the Bank of Israel Banknotes and Coinage Planning Committee and is based on its proceedings and correspondence from its inception in late 1955 to 2012.     

L’impossible Incarnation D’une Monarchie Une Crise de la Régence du Dernier Habsbourg d’Espagne (1668–1669)

Through the crisis of the regency of the last Habsburg, which triggered a “conflict of legitimation”, this article analyses the notion of legitimacy from the viewpoint of the action and from the viewpoint of the ideas that underlie the action. Our investigation shows the interactionist nature of the practices of legitimation and emphasises the limit of an explanation based on rhetoric. In a conflict that cannot be equated to the mere physics of confrontations, the key question is that of the incarnation of the sociopolitical body.     

过滤视角下的中国城市单位社区变化研究

过滤是以高收入居民向外迁移为导向的一系列居住迁移和住房周转过程。居民是决定邻里地位的重要因素,是过滤过程的主体。邻里变化是过滤的结果,反映了居民属性的改变。本文运用质性研究方法,基于在北京市海淀区燕东园社区的实地观察和访谈,从过滤的视角分析了我国城市单位社区变化。研究发现,在单位制时期,过滤仅存在于单位内部,并受到单位的控制和影响。在转型期,西方意义上的过滤现象在中国城市中已经出现,过滤体现了家庭需求与可支付住房之间的匹配过程,但是,因单位而导致的过滤及其社区变化具有复杂性特征,对于区位较好的单位社区,搬入搬出的居民虽然处于不同的家庭生命周期,但往往都具有较高的收入,社区整体上表现出多方向过滤的特征。过滤的多方向性是分析单位社区变化和城市社会空间重构的重要视角。     

中国城市单位制研究的一个新框架

单位制是计划经济时期,在特殊的时代背景和社会经济条件下,国家在城市构建中通过管理和控制人力及物质资源以实现共产主义和国家现代化为目标的基本工具,经历了形成、发展、成熟和转型的历史过程。单位制研究走过了30余年的历程,成果丰硕,但相对制度性研究,空间性和社会性研究还比较薄弱,实践性研究更加匮乏。提出将单位制研究置于人类社会历史的长时段背景中,从单位化、去单位化和新单位主义三个阶段和单位的制度性、空间性、社会性和实践性四个视角展开。三个阶段分别对应计划经济时期、改革开放的30年和今后和谐社会建设时期。制度性研究包括制度思想、构建逻辑和制度体系三个方面;空间性包括第一空间、第二空间和第三空间;社会性包括社会结构、社区发展和个体历程;实践性包括社会重建、旧单位改造和新单位规划。     

融入生命历程理论、面向长期空间行为的时间地理学再思考

时间地理学是一种表现并解释时空间过程中人类空间行为与客观制约之间关系的方法论。但是大多数的实证研究仅限于日常行为,长期空间行为研究存在不足。本文通过制约与能动性、行为的长期性、时空间意义等关键命题的再思考,提出可以统合时间地理学和生命历程理论对个体行为进行理解。生命历程理论作为关注个人生命历程和社会变迁互动关系的社会学理论,能够有效地补充时间地理学在社会过程分析中的不足。通过比较二者的异同,本文提出以生命历程理论的生命轨迹和时间地理学的生命路径为基础,重新构建长期空间行为生命路径,整合社会心理因素、多重社会角色、多维社会时间,以实现对于个体生命历程的全面理解。

赤铁矿及孔雀石对桐油和大漆老化性能的影响

本文以在古代壁画中广泛使用的大漆和桐油粘合剂为分析研究对象,以赤铁矿和孔雀石为颜料,采用傅立叶变换红外光谱（FT-IR）和示差扫描量热（DSC）分析方法,研究了赤铁矿和孔雀石两种颜料对大漆和桐油老化性能的影响。研究结果表明,桐油比大漆的耐老化性能好,赤铁矿和孔雀石加快了桐油老化速度,而且赤铁矿的催化老化效果更突出。赤铁矿加快了大漆的老化,但孔雀石对大漆老化的影响不明显。     

彩绘陶质文物修复保护操作流程规范化研究

彩绘陶器文物反应了中国历史上各朝各代不同艺术风格和技术特点,我国出土彩绘陶质类文物较为丰富,但保护修复操作基本不够完备。本文通过对彩绘陶质文物保护修复操作流程的规范化研究,目的建立统一、明确的操作规范,使得文物得到切实的保护,最大程度的减缓或降低文物的衰变速度,延长其寿命,保护其历史、艺术、科学价值。     

Palaeolithic and Neolithic Occupations in the Témara Region (Rabat, Morocco): Recent Data on Hominin Contexts and Behavior

In the 1970s, the discoveries of Palaeolithic human remains in the caves of Dar es Soltane 2, El Harhoura 1 and Les Contrebandiers reinforced interest in the sites of the Témara region. These sites, often cited, have been the object of numerous investigations which have produced a major contribution to the prehistory of Morocco. Over the past 15 years, research at two key sites, El Mnasra and El Harhoura 2, have considerably enhanced the available data for this region. Preliminary results obtained from excavations since 2001, allow us to present the palaeoenvironmental framework and describe the technological behaviour of prehistoric groups within a re-evaluated stratigraphic context. The microfaunal and macrofaunal assemblages are analysed according to systematics, taphonomy and palaeoecology. The lithic and bone industries document patterns of raw material acquisition and transformation. Within the context of the history of more than 60 years of research in the region of Témara, this contribution allows us to approach the question of Palaeolithic population on the basis of recent, and for the most part new, data and evidence.     

Monitoring the French Panthéon: From Rondelet’s Historical Surveys to the Modern Automatic System

The damage of a historical structure can be today controlled with many sophisticated instruments. Nevertheless, this type of monitoring can give information only over a very short period of time compared with the long life of the building. This approach can be insufficient to reconstruct the whole evolution of the damage, and thus to understand the stress distribution inside the structural elements, particularly in cases for which long-term phenomena (such as viscosity or soil settlements) are present. To reach this more complex aim, an approach of historical monitoring should be applied, both looking at technical historical documents and surveying the traces of history directly on the monument itself. The case of the French Panthéon is presented in this study, showing the usefulness of this approach also for the present stability assessment. The comparison among the plentiful historical documentation (including 18th-century surveys, monitoring, and technical reports), the present surveys of deformations and the “modern” structural monitoring allowed a complete quantitative reconstruction of the main damages evolution from the construction till now, laying the base for a possible future conscious intervention.
