试论演说家与雅典民主政治的互动

演说家是古希腊城邦社会中一股不可忽视的政治力量,在实行民主政治的雅典尤其如此。作为那个时代的知识精英和政治精英,他们与希腊城邦民主制度之间存在着一种特殊的相互依存的关系:他们既是城邦制度的产儿,也推动着它的不断发展;既享有体制内的"特殊话语权",但也受到它的严格制约;特别值得注意的是,他们在努力维护公民权力的同时,客观上也在消解着体制本身。     

论西夏的区域分野与地理形势

西夏疆域,地形狭长,东西倍于南北;地势高亢,坐西北而瞰东南。东南部是黄土高原,以横山、六盘山为屏障;北部是鄂尔多斯和阿拉善高原,以沙漠为主,有毛乌素沙漠、腾格里沙漠和巴丹吉林沙漠,间有草原,以阴山山脉为塞垣;西部是青藏高原的北缘,有绿洲曰河西走廊,以祁连山为庇护,河湟环带,山峡迂回;中部为"几字形"河套平原,以黄河、贺兰山为天堑。西夏存立之所以长久者,天时在于大国对峙的夹缝中求生存,地利在于形势要害之地置监军司,人和在于国小则无所恃而有畏惧,军民之事犹如一家。     

商周青铜器铸后制铭工艺考证

学界普遍认为商周时期青铜器的铸造铭文早于铸后制铭,并认为铸后制铭技术只出现在西周晚期以后。本文通过对商周时期若干铸后制铭青铜器的研究发现,铸后制铭可分为錾铭、刻铭与琢磨铭文三类,后两类的出现与应用不晚于铸造铭文。这些技术脱胎于夏商时期的玉器加工工艺,当与甲骨文的契刻技术同源,工匠至迟在商代晚期就已掌握,但出于生产效率与容错代价方面的考虑,选择了出现较晚但更为节省时间和人力的铸造铭文技术。铸后制铭因为其本身的缺陷,只作为一种边缘技术长期存在。

Producing multiple imaginations of the Silk Road in Xi’an,China’s urban development

ABSTRACT

This paper looks at how the Chinese government’s recent national project, ‘the Belt and Road Initiatives’ (the BRI), is played out at the local level in the context of cultural cities. Scholarship on the BRI focuses less on how the official narratives of the BRI have impacted the ongoing process of urbanization in China. This paper contextualizes the BRI by examining how both official and alternative imaginations of the Silk Road contribute to municipal-level urban plans that visualize the Silk Road in the urban built environment. Specifically, this paper suggests understanding the Silk Road in the local context, which entails a constellation of convergent and divergent interpretations by different actors involved in the official urban theming plans. These actors, both experts involved in the implementation process and members of marginalized ethnic communities, specify the vaguely defined ‘Silk Road’ in contexts that are within and beyond the original settings.

Suffragettes and Shrews: Unruly British Women in the Early Chinese Press (1900s–1910s)

This article examines the image of the British suffragettes in the early Chinese press up to the 1910s. By widely surveying newspapers and magazines, it shows that the common adoption of the shrew trope in depicting the suffragettes went beyond a reductive translational interaction between the West and the East. People's Stand, The Eastern Miscellany and other periodical publications present different ways in which diction, images, literary legacy, gender tradition and cultural demands all came into play in reconfiguring the Chinese shrew and her connections to the Western suffragettes. The shrew–suffragette linkage debunks notions of selling strategies and editorial ambivalence underlying the gesture of the press. Yet it was precisely this ambiguity that rendered the shrew image so polysemic and fruitful, eventually allowing this traditional character type to be positively associated with the new woman models in Chinese progressive discourses.
