Dealing with the past: Museums and heritage in northern ireland and Cape Town,South Africa

The experiences of post‐apartheid South Africa have often been used to open dialogue about Northern Ireland and the possible approaches to dealing with the legacy of the conflict. People in Northern Ireland have, for example, looked towards the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission and policing in South Africa for further insights. This comparison of South Africa and Northern Ireland has now moved beyond being concerned predominantly with conflict resolution and has come to bear in the consideration of how we should present the history of the Troubles in Northern Ireland’s museums and the value of preserving the built heritage of the Troubles. This paper uses the example of the ‘transformation’ in the South African heritage sector that came with the end of apartheid as a means to raise areas of concern that have resonance for Northern Ireland. It shows that for both Northern Ireland and South Africa it is important to think further about the impact of display, the power dynamics embedded in the construction of heritage, and the complexity of building a shared narrative from a contested past.     

Heritage,identity and community engagement at Dunluce Castle,Northern Ireland

As Northern Ireland transitions out of conflict, increased attention is being paid to the role heritage can play in building peace across society and developing a more sustainable future. Recent archaeological investigations at Dunluce Castle have uncovered elements of the site’s Gaelic past and the remains of an early seventeenth-century town built immediately prior to the Crown-sponsored Plantation of Ulster. The project included a dynamic programme of community engagement and outreach that created opportunities to work as a group in the embodied act of recovering the physical past. This formed a space in which to challenge aspects of the region’s contested past and facilitated the renegotiation of accepted local histories and existing identity constructs.

陕西文化旅游资源开发研究

文化旅游是旅游业发展的最新趋势,陕西省作为我国的旅游资源大省,要进一步发展旅游,就必需以文化旅游作为旅游业的主要发展方向。本文对陕西文化旅游资源的潜力和优势及开发中存在的问题进行了深入分析,在此基础上,以现有的文化旅游资源类型为依据提出了文化旅游资源的开发构想,即以名城文化为主体,结合史迹文化和节庆文化来整合各类文化旅游资源开发旅游产品,并针对陕西文化旅游的发展探讨了具体的文化旅游开发措施。     

苏北地区可持续发展中的资源环境问题研究

通过苏北与苏南的对比分析、资源环境现状与开发利用潜力评价、以及资源环境与发展关系的定量分析评价,表明苏北资源有较大优势,开发利用潜力大,具有对区域发展的较强支撑能力;资源利用效率不高、承载能力下降过快,环境负荷过重,问题较多,已构成对区域可持续发展的约束与限制;区域发展中的经济增长速度不快,资源-环境-经济大系统不够协调。提出了资源环境系统调控与支撑能力建设的科学对策。     

北齐韩祖念墓出土鎏金铜器和金银器的无损检测研究

北齐韩祖念墓位于山西太原市北郊区小井峪乡小井峪村。太原市文物考古研究所对其进行发掘,共出土了22件鎏金铜器和金银器。利用无线显微镜、X射线荧光能谱仪等科技手段,对这些器物进行无损科学分析。研究结果表明,鎏金铜器均为铸造而成,然后采用金汞齐表面热处理,金银器在技术和风格上均受到了西域文化的影响。研究成果为全面了解北齐时期金属器制作技术的发展提供了重要的科学依据。     

山西省转型期旅游场强时空异质性特征及机制

以山西省转型期旅游发展为例,选取2005、2011和2017年17项指标构建城市旅游发展综合实力评价体系,基于改进场强模型,借助GIS技术和地理探测器模型,分析旅游场强时空异质性特征及演变机制。结果表明:(1)旅游场强高值区范围扩大、逐步形成叶脉状网络空间形态,突破了早期"人"形格局限制;(2)各地市旅游场强前期整体上升,后期集中在大西高铁沿线,城市绝对差异增加,高级别场强类型主要以太原市为中心向边缘扩散演替;(3)旅游场强空间格局演变具有时序性特征,主导因子经历了二元、三元主导和多元共同作用阶段,对于旅游产业后发省份构建区域旅游场强空间格局具有借鉴和指导意义。     

出土墓志与东魏北齐邺京行里制度探析

东魏北齐邺京里坊的设置沿袭北魏洛阳里坊制度,文献记载往往以里或乡里形式称谓居住地。然而有4方东魏北齐时期墓志,志文记载墓主的居宅异于常例,为某行某里,或某行某坊。通过对墓志时代及墓主身份等因素的综合研判,并结合史书记载,可知东魏初至北齐末,某行某里(坊)是邺京里坊称谓的一种常用格式。"行"的称谓源自邺京行经尉制度,行名与里(坊)名的连用,是基于城市治安管理角度所产生的隶属关系的呈现,在名称上反映了某行区域内里的管辖情况。且行名与里名存在一定关联,将行名与里名对照,可知邺京部分行名与里名相同。     

北齐韩祖念墓出土玻璃杯考--兼论魏晋南北朝时期波斯玻璃器之东传

1982年太原北齐韩祖念墓出土了一件玻璃高足杯,我们用X射线荧光光谱对其进行了无损分析。检测结果表明:这件玻璃杯是典型的萨珊草木灰类型玻璃。结合器形、纹饰和文献记载,推测其应为波斯萨珊使者向北齐进献的贡品,为萨珊玻璃沿丝绸之路传播提供了新的证据。本文还对魏晋南北朝外来玻璃检测结果进行了总结,并系统划分了这一时期舶来玻璃的类型及其在中国分布的地域和时代特征。     

Prehistory of Chihuahua and Sonora,Mexico

The North American Southwest includes much of Mexico as well as the southwestern United States. The area north of the international border has been studied intensively and its culture history is widely known; the portion south of the border has usually been ignored. This essay proposes a new term for the entire culture area, Northern Mexico, and provides a summary of local sequences for two states in the region, Chihuahua and Sonora. The general sequence in the U.S. Southwest (Paleo-Indian, Archaic, and Ceramic periods) also holds in northwest Mexico. Preceramic occupations are poorly known. The Ceramic period saw the rise of a number of local cultures, which varied greatly in adaptation and social complexity. The basic culture pattern of Northern Mexico is derived from that of central Mexico, but direct Mesoamerican intervention in the region was apparently limited. While the issue of Mesoamerican-Northern Mexican relationships has dominated scholarly debate for decades, the greater need is to define and explain cultural variability within and between local sequences.
