秦陵建筑基址壁画材质及制作工艺的初步研究

2011—2013年,秦陵博物院对秦陵封土北侧西区寝殿部分大型夯土台基式建筑遗址进行了试掘,发现了一片秦代壁画遗存。为了科学认知壁画的材质和制作工艺,本研究使用偏光显微镜、拉曼光谱、配有能谱的扫描电镜、红外光谱仪对壁画残块进行了分析研究。结果表明壁画结构由外到内分别是颜料层、底色层、细泥层、粗泥层。壁画的黑色颜料为黑铜矿、红色勾边颜料为赤铁矿、白色底层为碳酸钙;粗泥层和细泥层中均添加了生石灰为胶结材料,粗泥层中还添加有植物茎秆。秦陵考古开展近半个世纪以来,出土壁画尚属首次,本研究系首次对秦陵壁画开展科学研究,结果可为探索秦陵及其陵寝建筑的考古文化提供重要信息。     

The wellsprings of candidate emergence: Geographic origins of statewide candidacies in the United States

Candidates and nominees for statewide office in the United States do not emerge from random locations within states. In this paper, we argue that densely populated areas are more likely to both foster political ambition and to afford the resources that enable candidates to wage an effective campaign. Candidates and nominees for major statewide office originate from populous counties in numbers significantly out of proportion to these counties’ share of their state’s population. Meanwhile, aspirants virtually never emerge out of rural areas or small towns. The pattern holds for all candidates and nominees for both Senate and governor and for both major political parties. Regional biases are more pronounced for institutionally strong gubernatorial offices than for weak offices and among high quality nominees for statewide office than among inexperienced candidates. Given the importance of urban/rural cleavages in the American electorate, these findings raise fundamental questions about political representation.     

On political theology: A controversy between Hans Kelsen and Carl Schmitt

This article pays special attention to the large number of references to political theology by Hans Kelsen and Carl Schmitt, particularly in the interwar period, and seeks to interpret these references in a new way. While Schmitt's analogies between God and state are to be expected considering his strong Catholic roots, such comparisons are much more surprising for a positivist like Hans Kelsen, who always tried to relieve state and law from transcendental elements. The article concludes that, far from being marginal in the doctrinal dispute between Schmitt and Kelsen, references to political theology express and summarize their major controversy about the relation between state and law, as well as about the sources of the state's unity. The heart of the disputatio between the two jurists concerned the ability of the political power to emancipate itself from the juridical order. The ‘legal miracle’—in this context meaning the occasional autonomization of the state from law—was for Schmitt the manifestation of sovereign power. However, for Kelsen it represented the negation of the state's essence, whose actions must be determined only by the legal order.     

新疆与历代中原王朝政治关系的计量分析

自西汉在新疆设官以来的两千多年中,新疆和中原王朝保持着四类政治关系。本文首先简述了中原王朝在新疆设置政权的沿革,然后以计量史学的方法对四类政治关系存续的时段分别予以统计,以关系的数量程度说明关系的性质。统计结果显示,新疆地区全部或部分在两千多年的大部分时段中处于中原王朝辖治之下,从而表明新疆自汉代以来就是中国领土的一部分。
