西安白庙村唐代金杯及有关问题

在陕西历史博物馆收藏的唐代金银器中,以1970年10月西安南郊何家村窖藏出土的270多件金银器最为著名。由于多种原因,这批窖藏金银器的正式发掘报告一直没有编写出版。为了向学术界提供全面、详实的何家村窖藏金银器资料,二十世纪九十年代中期,陕西历史博物馆决定组织有关人员开始编写何家村窖藏金银器的发掘报告。     

试论抗战前的民间防空建设

南京国民政府在一二八事变之后,开始加强民间防空以减少国防力量的损失,如健全民防机构、培育民防人才、建立民防组织,且组织防空展览和举行防空演习.这些有限的民防建设在当时中国国力弱小的情况下,能有如此发展的确不易,并在一定程度上为抗战初期减少国力损失做出了积极贡献,保留了民族复兴的力量.

鲁菜文化的历史源流

一、鲁菜文化内涵的形成中国古代文化赖以产生和发展的土壤有三大区域,即黄河流域、长江流域和珠江流域。而中华民族群构时期的策源地则是黄河流域。先秦时期,仰韶文化、大汶口文化、龙山文化、齐家文化遗址以及夏商周的都城,都在黄河流域。其中黄帝部落的阪泉、涿鹿之战的胜利,使氏族部落最终融合成早期的中华民族群构,而奠定了汉民族的大一统的文化内涵。以后春秋五霸、战国七雄的纷争割据及诸子百家的探索争鸣,直到秦灭六国统一天下的这段时期,从文化发展来看,正是大一统的民族文化圈急剧膨胀的时代。     

明弘治十二年礼部会试舞弊案

弘治十二年(1499)春,唐寅以南京乡试第一名的成绩参加在京城举行的礼部会试。是次考试后来由于主考官程敏政和考生唐寅、徐经涉嫌鬻题舞弊而成为明代历史上一次受人关注的会试。唐寅也因为这场舞弊案而被废为吏,由此直接影响了唐寅后来的人生道路,特别是他的艺术创作。关于这场舞弊案,历来模糊难辨。本文试图从一些新的角度,如该试另一主考官李东阳与徐经家族的关系、《明孝宗实录》纂修以及关于此事的评价、对舞弊案所涉官员傅瀚、华昶以及唐寅友人都穆的考察等,来重新审视这一事件,这对研究中国绘画史上“明四家”之一的唐寅的个人思想无疑是个关键。

Flirtatious geographies: clubs as spaces for the performance of affective heterosexualities

This article addresses the (hetero)sexualized, sensuous and affective nature of straight club spaces in Singapore. By attending to the theoretical intersections between affect studies and feminist perspectives, I argue that straight clubs are sites for the performances of affective heterosexualities that may and may not end up re-inscribing asymmetrical gendered power relations. In so doing, I hope to contribute to the growing literature on affectual geographies by expounding on the numerous technologies of affect which are being deployed in order to incite, transmit and sustain (hetero)sexual desires between bodies. Flirtatious (hetero)sexual practices thus give rise to, and are a result of, the political manipulation of intensely felt affects. Furthermore, I suggest that we should not overlook how becoming (hetero)sexual ‘feels like’ because these ‘feelings’ work to crystallize (hetero)sexual spaces and subjectivities. Nonetheless, we must also be careful not to discount the salience of ‘heterosexuality’ as a representational device that serves to codify and categorize sexual desires between bodies.
