Archaeological Sites as Self-Sustained Resources for Economic Regeneration: Towards the Creation of Living Archaeological Parks on the Islands of Kythera and Antikythera

Abstract

This paper argues that less known archaeological sites on marginalized or non-touristic areas can contribute to the formation of local economies that can benefit from alternative heritage tourism and public participation in the archaeological excavation process. The discussion of a proposal for turning two archaeological sites on the Greek islands of Kythera and Anitkythera respectively (Paleokastro and Kastro) into living archaeological parks serves as an example that highlights the possibilities for the creation of self-sustainable heritage projects that need not rely on direct state funding.     

Struggles of recognition: adverse effects of China’s living human treasures program

ABSTRACT

Heritagization processes have resulted in struggles of recognition across the globe. Scholarly work has demonstrated that determining what and whose cultural architecture, objects and practices are to be considered ‘heritage’ results in inclusion and exclusion effects which deprive some individuals, communities or ethnic groups of recognition. Many of these studies build on Western theories of recognition as developed by Axel Honneth or Nancy Fraser. However, due to the Western origin of these theories and – in most cases – application to democratic nation-states, the question arises whether Western theories of recognition can in fact be applied to non-Western authoritarian states. Taking the Chinese LHT system, the so-called ‘representative ICH Inheritor program,’ as a case study, I explore to what extent Western theories of recognition explain struggles of recognition in PR China. I argue that while these theories are useful in explaining the effects and purposes underlying struggles of recognition, authoritarian regimes like China may exacerbate struggles of recognition since their ‘institutional patterns of value recognition’ can more openly and forcefully use recognition and misrecognition as a tool to foster political and economic objectives. However, citizens respond by resigning, contesting or circumventing official decision-making processes.

明清时期黄河小北干流西岸地域环境与村民营生方式选择

明清时期,韩城、郃阳、朝邑和潼关四县虽同处于黄河小北干流西岸区域范围之内,但是其区域内部地理环境具有明显的差异性。四县面对不同的地域环境,其村民营生方式的选择也就具有明显的多样性。这充分体现了地域环境对村民营生方式选择的影响,同时,多样性的营生方式又是村民对地域环境差异性的能动适应。地域环境的差异性与村民营生方式的选择,正是人地关系的集中体现,对此的研究可以使我们更好的理解人、地之间的关系。

清帝处理政务的殿字及其内檐装修格局

在明代宫廷建筑制度的基础上,清代宫廷建筑及其内檐装修的规制在清中期逐步确立并成为当时建筑设计的基本出发点。这个规制不仅体现在朝仪、寝居殿宇的形制上,也反映在以勤政段为代表的一些具有综合功能、使用情况复杂的建筑的格局、装修之中。在归纳清代宫殿、园囿中有勤政功能和以勤政殿命名的殿宇的基础上,本文从建筑规格、内檐装修形制两个方面整理并阐述了此类宫廷建筑空间的特征,作者试图藉此探究皇家建筑设计创作的制度和功能内涵。     

字圣许慎

东汉许慎因著有《说文解字》,成为中国文字学的开山鼻祖,对中国和世界的文化发展作出了重大贡献,被后人尊为“字圣”。《说文解字》开创的“六书”理论,是关于中国汉字构成和使用的六条方法,至今仍被古文字学家奉为圭臬。该书创造的辞书部首编纂法、汉字形音义贯通说解法等都对后代影响深远。许慎是对国家和民族有巨大贡献的伟大人物。
