清季民族主义与黄帝崇拜之发明

历史是一个共同回忆 ,其组成有一个系谱学之线索可寻。有关现代国家起源的民族史系谱 ,往往是近代的发明。中国人好称“黄帝子孙” ,此种概念在中国自称“天下”的大一统时代是不可能形成的。明清之际的王夫之提倡严夷夏之防 ,曾奉黄帝为华夏域之奠立者 ,清季的汉民族主义分子遂将黄帝转化为民族始祖。黄帝崇拜的叙事 ,由古代、现代、本土、外来的因素编织而成 ,表面上首尾一贯 ,其实是一个混合语 ,而且一首一尾都是舶来品。

"女帝世纪"成因探析

七、八世纪是日本历史上的一段重要时期。这一时期,女性登上了日本的政治舞台,并且在长达两百年的时间里,共涌现出了八代六位女天皇,该时期也被称为"女帝世纪"。那么"女帝世纪"这一独特历史现象的出现是巧合,还是必然?本文拟以"母性崇拜"情结为核心,从日本的继承制度、神话传说、婚姻制度等角度对"女帝世纪"的成因做尝试性的分析。     

Policy Characteristics,Patterns of Politics,and the Minimum Wage: Toward a Typology of Redistributive Policies

The central hypothesis of all policy typologies is that distinctively different patterns of politics can be identified for different types of public policy issues. Lowi identified three different policy types, which he termed distributive, regulative, and redistributive, each of which triggers a distinctively different pattern of political behavior. Unfortunately, Lowi's categories were inductively derived and ambiguously defined, leading to disagreements over how to categorize particular policies. Hayes built on Lowi's seminal effort, deriving Lowi's three policy categories from two underlying dimensions and identifying additional categories Lowi's original formulation had missed. Using the minimum wage issue as an example, this article will identify a critical deficiency in both these typologies. While Hayes' typology defines the boundaries between policy categories more precisely than Lowi's, neither typology is equipped to deal with variations in political patterns occurring within a particular cell. As this article will show, the minimum wage issue, although consistently redistributive in Hayes' terms, has manifested three very different patterns of politics at different points in time. Accordingly, a typology of redistributive policies will be advanced to account for these variations in the redistributive politics of the minimum wage.     

从皇帝大婚典礼看清朝行政机构之运转

Reconstruction of the Rib Vaults of the Hypostyle Hall in the Maniace Castle of Siracusa After the 1693 Earthquake

Built in the first half of the 13th century on behalf of the Emperor Frederick II, the Maniace Castle of Siracusa focuses its enigma in the hypostyle hall (which was composed of 25 quadripartite rib vaults) and the design criteria adopted for its implementation. Recent research and a careful rereading of the documentary “restoration project” after the earthquake of 1693 have offered new tools to understand the construction techniques and building procedures for the entire organism. It has been possible to demonstrate that the different material (white limestone and volcanic stone) used for the vaults is, in fact, a product of reconstruction. The constructive node, which historiography has taken for granted, is now crucial—the documentary evidence of the restoration after the earthquake compared with the materials found in situ provide interpretive keys to decode genesis and procedures of the huge structure built five centuries before.
