Managing Meaning at an Ancient Site in the 21st Century: the Gummingurru Aboriginal Stone Arrangement on the Darling Downs,Southern Queensland

ABSTRACT Aboriginal stone arrangements occur throughout Australia and are of ritual importance to Aboriginal peoples. Stone arrangements are part of the dynamic context within which Aboriginal peoples lived in the late Holocene, where constant renegotiation of social alliances required an increasing reliance on ceremonial places with ritual importance. This is the past social context for the Gummingurru Aboriginal stone arrangement site complex on the Darling Downs, Queensland. In the late 19th century Gummingurru was a highly significant men's initiation site but by the early 20th century most of the traditional custodians of the site had been removed to the government‐run Aboriginal mission of Cherbourg. Since 2000, traditional custodians have returned to the site and have given the place and its cultural landscape a new meaning. No longer used for initiation, Gummingurru now has contemporary value as a site of learning and reconciliation for all Australians. Today Gummingurru has been given a new meaning and occupies a new place in Aboriginal society and political networking.     

布什"单边主义"的文化传统

布什的单边主义深深地植根于美国文化传统之中,它根源于美国的个人主义传统,发展于美国的"天赋使命"的观念,强化于美国的"清教传统和白人优越论"的观念,成就于美国的"善恶二元论"。单边主义是美国历代统治者孜孜以求的目标之一,也是美国历史文化中最深厚的积淀之一。从这个意义上说,无论谁成为美国的总统,在美国霸权衰落以前,单边主义都将是美国外交最明显的风格。     

Textual Authority and Its Naturalization in Liang Shuming's Dong–Xi wenhua ji qi zhexue

This article discusses how Liang Shuming's Dong–Xi wenhua ji qi zhexue (Eastern and Western Cultures and Their Philosophies) adopted a genealogical mode of textual authorization which took shape in its depiction of Chinese history as a failure to live up to an ideal way of life imagined by Confucius. Implied in this discourse was the idea that Liang himself had been the first Confucian to understand what Confucius had truly meant. This genealogical discourse authorizing Liang and his text by linking them directly to Confucius was further strengthened by a rhetoric which naturalized the discourse passed down from Confucius to Liang, distinguishing it from other forms of discourse seen as artificial. Finally, the text's genealogical discourse also managed to incorporate the May Fourth critique of Confucianism by rejecting the historical manifestations of Confucianism before salvaging an ideal imagined by Confucius which was presented as uncontaminated by history and Confucianism's enmeshment in state power.     

关于中国史学传统的继承问题——读《清通鉴》

中华民族血脉及其文化从古至今连绵延续、未曾有过中断的重要原因之一 ,是有着良好的修史史学传统。通鉴体 (编年体 )是修史传统中重要的一种体例。在现代社会 ,这种编年体体例仍是必要的。《清通鉴》就是颇可称道的这种体例的史学巨著     

21世纪的中国考古学

中国考古是世界上国别考古中时空最大、体量最宏、内容最为丰富的考古学体系,本世纪中国考古最大的成就就是考古学文化时空体系的建立与完善,以及对传统的中国历史体系的修正和补充。２１世纪,中国考古学不但应当在揭示华夏传统的形成以及人类、农牧和文明国家三大起源问题上有所贡献,更应依赖自身的优势,对考古学以及整个人文科学的理论建设做出贡献。     

试论当前细石器研究中的几个概念问题

本文对细石器、细石器技术和细石器传统等概念问题进行了梳理、分析。作者赞成细石器是由特殊的工艺技术制成的石制品的观点,并将其范围限定在与此种技术相关的石制品之内。细石器技术的本质是一种石片剥离技术,而非是石器的制作技术。细石器传统所指的应是某种细石器技术的延续。     

旅游宣传片影响下的目的地形象感知过程研究——巴厘岛案例的实验探索

宣传片在塑造目的地形象和激发旅游兴趣上的作用不可忽视，但聚焦于宣传片对旅游目的地形象（TDI）感知过程的影响研究较少。以巴厘岛为案例，通过实验法探索旅游者感知形象变化过程。研究结果如下：①宣传片能够影响潜在旅游者的TDI感知，不同类型的宣传片影响效果存在差异。②潜在旅游者的原生形象呈现“粗线条、点集中”的特征；引致形象感知细节增加，要素种类增多，整体形象偏向性明显。③研究基于选择性注意理论和Baddeley工作记忆模型剖析了旅游者对TDI感知变化的内在机制，发现从原生形象到引致形象存在视觉选择性注意和信息加工的过程。研究结果为目的地营销组织（DMO）应对突发事件推出宣传片进行营销提供了一定的借鉴和启示。     

Western technical traditions of pottery making in Tang Dynasty China: chemical evidence from the Liquanfang Kiln site,Xi'an city

This study is based on the SEM-EDS and LA-ICP-AES analyses of a sample of twenty-nine Tang sancai sherds unearthed from the Liquanfang site, Xi'an city. The results indicate that ceramics with yellowish bodies are calcareous and those with red bodies were made of ferruginous clays. The use of calcareous clay in Tang sancai bodies is otherwise unknown in Chinese history, which suggests that the technique of Tang sancai making at this site might have been influenced by ceramic technology from the Near East or Central Asia. The paper therefore argues that the traditional approach of treating calcareous clay as the main characteristic of pottery made in the ancient Near East or Central Asia is not necessarily accurate. It is likely that some calcareous Tang sancai ceramics were made in the capital city of the Tang dynasty.     

穿行在历史与现实之间的地缘学术思想——《贵州：学术与思想的世界》前言

贵州学术思想的发展,不但与中央王朝凭借国家力量开发和经营帝国西南疆域的历史进程一致,而且也与以儒学为主体的大传统文化向滇黔两省的扩散传播同步。它既有赖于士大夫社会的形成,也有赖于知识精英的产生,最终则经、史、子、集四部均各有大量撰述,直接以地缘文化的形式丰富了祖国的学术文化宝库。任何具有价值的理解或诠释都必然包含着历史与现实的沟通,传统学术思想通过亲切而具体的创造性衔接亦可成为未来文化继续发展的动力资源。     

对华北地区旧石器两大文化传统的反思

贾兰坡先生提出华北地区旧石器存在分别以大型石器与小型石器为特征的两大文化传统.本文通过对华北地区主要的旧石器遗址和地点文化特征的总结分析,发现石料的分布和两大文化传统的分布是完全重合的.所以,这种大小石器的分布区域不是文化因素的结果,而是自然资源(石料)分布差异的结果.所谓华北旧石器两大文化传统,是在受到原料制约的情况下自然产生的文化面貌.
