‘Mountain women’: silent contributors to the global agenda for sustainable mountain development

In this article, we examine the transnational and international discourses and initiatives focused on and/or carried out by the so-called ‘mountain women.’ Tracking the growing reference to ‘mountain women’, we analyze the way in which the construction and the claim of a gendered identity has developed within the general debate on the international recognition of the global importance of mountain environments that emerged about 20 years ago. Drawing on documents, a survey and interviews, our main objective is exploring how such a reference could lead to the making of an imagined community of ‘mountain women’ offering opportunities for political action. This article concludes that, though women are identified in international discourses as essential contributors to sustainable mountain development, the social identity ‘mountain women’ has not yet evolved into a collective identity around which political solidarities and strategies coalesce to ultimately ground collective action. Indeed, women's organizations have other themes on their agendas and are active at other scales apart from the global one. Indeed, few are willing to identify themselves as ‘mountain women.’ For the time being, ‘mountain women’ remain silent partners in the global agenda for sustainable mountain development.     

《山海经·中山经》河洛地区山川考述

《山海经·中山经》对黄河中游至洛河、伊河一带山川的记述非常详实。由于《山海经》成书时代较早(一般认为是先秦时期的著作),至汉魏时期,其中的山川地名大多已湮没无闻。汉魏以来,历代学者先后对《中山经》所载的河洛地区山川进行了地名学的研究,但他们的研究结论多有不确之处,对其中很多山川的地望作出了错误的判断,甚至影响到了这一地区很多地名的命名。本文在前人基础上,考证《中山经》河洛地区诸山川的地望,并探讨《山经》时代人们对此地区地理环境的认识。

再论高句丽山城城墙内侧柱洞的功能

本文通过对近年来韩国境内高句丽山城发现土柱洞的分析,比较其与我国境内高句丽山城石柱洞的不同,指出其主要功能为在堡垒等小型军事据点外缘树立木制城栅,起到类似城墙的作用。采用木栅替代城墙因其构筑快速,适应战争形势的变化,而并非受制于技术的落后。土柱洞的出现可视为衡量高句丽晚期山城的一项指标。

安徽省“两山一湖”旅游区联动发展机制与对策研究

文章认为 ,安徽省“两山一湖”旅游区是资源型旅游地 ,是安徽省旅游资源最密集的地区和安徽省旅游业的重点地区。由于本地区地脉、文脉一致 ,旅游资源和旅游产品互补 ,旅游市场互动互补 ,本地客源有限 ,但邻近中国最大的客源市场和旅游目的地长江三角洲 ,必须联动开发旅游资源。只有优先建设外部快速交通 ,按照“两山一湖”旅游区一盘棋的原则建设各具特色的旅游地 ,构建“两山一湖”旅游形象 ,加强管理 ,搞好市场营销 ,才能使得“两山一湖”旅游业有更大的发展。     

Testing micro-regional variability in the Holocene shaping of high mountain cultural landscapes: a palaeoenvironmental case-study in the eastern Pyrenees

Previous research acknowledges the ancient and complex land-use history of European mountainous areas, which are characterised by a remarkable regional variability in terms of human practices and patterns of occupation during the Holocene. However, the combined palaeoenvironmental and archaeological study of highland human management at a micro-regional scale remains a largely unexplored research field, especially in the Pyrenees. A combined pollen, stomata, non-pollen palynomorphs (NPPs) and macrocharcoal study was carried out at three nearby alpine and subalpine peat basins from a relatively small territory (ca.1700 ha) at the Madriu valley (Andorra, eastern Pyrenees), following a fine spatial-resolution strategy. The purpose was to test the suitability of high altitudinal palaeoecological sequences when reconstructing past small-scale land-use variability. The palaeoecological results of those peat records are compared and further integrated with archaeological local data, and together underline the marked complexity of high mountain land-use system over the Holocene period. Main phases of micro-regional land-use and landscape variability can be distinguished from the middle Neolithic to the early Bronze Age and from the Roman Period to the Modern Era. Conversely, several phases of homogeneous landscape management are distinguishable during the early Neolithic, and from the late Bronze to the late Iron Age. Results drawn from this study show that landscape variability is not necessarily connected to topographic or climatic parameters, and underline the role of social, economical and cultural parameters in the land-use organisation and the landscape shaping of high mountain spaces since Prehistory.     

晚清徽州社会救济体系初探——以光绪三十四年水灾为例

光绪三十四年(1908年)夏,地处皖南的徽州地区山洪暴发,徽州地方社会及流寓各地的徽籍人士就此次水灾及时展开了救助。本文以灾后救助所形成的征信录为主要资料,结合文集、徽州文书和地方志等有关史料,对此次灾害及其救助情形进行了探讨。文章首先结合受灾村庄的地理微环境,以赈灾款额为代资料揭示出灾情的空间分布,接着探讨了在晚清义赈兴起的大背景下,此次水灾的赈济过程和各赈灾机构的实际作用,并关注了赈灾款项与赈济物资的来源与比例,以期揭示在财政匮乏、政局动荡的晚清社会,随着邮政、报纸等新事物的发展,偏处一隅的徽州地区是如何应对这样一场突如其来的大水灾的。
