内蒙古中南部考古学文化演变的环境学透视

内蒙古中南部位于我国北方农牧交错带的中段, 是气侯变化的敏感地区。全新世以来的气侯波动, 对于塑造这里的自然景观和古文化的面貌起着重要的作用。本文分析了全新世大暖期的不同时段上古文化的特点和生计方式的变化, 并从沙地进退、湖面升降的视角探讨了这一地区考古学文化的演变以及人地之间相互作用的过程。     

五代时期的扬州城考

英藏敦煌文献S.529(V)号《诸山圣迹志》(又名《失名行记》)记载了五代时期的扬州城周里数,为研究五代时期的扬州城提供了极其珍贵的第一手资料。本文以敦煌文献S.529(V)号的记载为依据,利用古籍记载和考古资料,论证了五代时期扬州城存在的事实,同时利用该文献对扬州城的规模和城门数进行了探讨。     

论建立美术地理学之下的历史美术地理学

由于历史原因,与美术历史同样对揭示美术规律起重要作用的美术地理学至今尚未及时建立起来,因而目前在美术地理学之下首先确立历史美术地理学学科概念,并进行学科之下的实际研究,从而促进美术地理学的建立与完善,不但极为迫切而且切实可行。本文就历史美术地理学在美术地理学学科体系中的意义与地位、历史美术地理学的学科概念与性质、目的与任务、内容与时间断限、与相邻学科的关系、学科建立的学术基础与先期成果,以及进行历史美术地理研究的相关问题等诸方面作了相应的研究与探讨。     

A missing link? Network analysis as an empirical approach for critical physical geography

Critical physical geography (CPG) calls for integrative research on material landscapes and the socio-political dynamics of scientific knowledge production. Network analysis, a rich tradition of tools and approaches for analyzing relational information, has seen little use in the CPG literature to date. This represents a fruitful opportunity, as many of CPG's core interests—knowledge politics, histories of scientific concepts, and ecosocial relations—can be effectively analyzed using network techniques. In this article, I argue for adapting network approaches to CPG. First, I provide an overview of various network concepts, approaches, and their origins. I then discuss bibliometric network techniques for “science mapping” including co-word, co-authorship, and citation analyses. Next, I describe discourse network analysis, a recent mixed-method approach from political science. Finally, I discuss overlaps with emerging approaches from qualitative and visual network analysis. In each section, I provide existing and hypothetical examples, as well as software and visualization techniques, that demonstrate how network approaches could add new insights to CPG and related scholarship. Linking CPG with the diverse traditions of network analysis has the potential to produce new empirical understandings and bring the field into conversation with a growing body of research that spans the social sciences, natural sciences, and humanities.     

Wissens‐ und Wissenschaftstransfer – Einführende Bemerkungen

Knowledge and science transfer – introductory remarks. The article presents introductory remarks on the historical study of knowledge and science transfer. Discussion focuses initially on the reasons for speaking of knowledge transfer and not only about science transfer, and the relations of this topic to current research in general history on cultural transfer. Multiple levels of knowledge / science transfer are then discussed, specifically: (1) transfer by means of migration or other movement of people across geographic boundaries; (2) scientific changes related to the transfer of objects (such as plant specimens or instruments) across continents or disciplines; (3) knowledge or science transfer in practical contexts. Addressed throughout is the problematic character of the concept of transfer itself. The author suggests that users of this concept often presuppose a static conception of scientific and cultural contents being more or less successfully transferred; more interesting, however, are the changes in science and culture conditioned or caused by the migration of individuals as well as the transfer of culture by other means.
