郭店竹书《老子》研究述论

截至2003年12月为止,全面校注、研究郭店《老子》的专著和论文共有23种,此外尚有专论及附论郭店《老子》的论文多篇。综观上举论著,对郭店《老子》的研究主要在以下七个方面进行,即：一、简章组合,二、文字释读,三、书写勘误,四、词义考释,五、异文对校,六、文本性质,七、思想研究。本文试对学界在这七个方面的研究一一进行了述评。在文本性质方面,本文分别就诸家失当处进行辨正。并进而提出,由于文献不足征,此问题暂难定论,但郭店竹书《老子》的文本性质和公元前300年左右有无五千言的全本《老子》,是两个不同的问题,应该分开来研究。在思想研究方面,驳正了郭沂“简本《老子》出自老聃,今本《老子》出自太史儋”之说。本文还对郭店《老子》的一些字词的考释与释义提出了自己的看法。     

Thai migrants in Singapore: state,intimacy and desire

In this article, I analyse Thai migration to Singapore, drawing on ethnographic fieldwork (2004–06) to discuss the experiences of male construction workers and female sex workers in negotiating heterosexuality during their temporary residence. I argue that these Thai migrants engage in transient heterosexual encounters as one of many calculated, strategic ways of negotiating their intimate identity and subjectivity in the survival circuits of this global city. Their transient sexual acts are intimate products of negotiated moves, which form a major part of their semi-anonymous, temporary life in a foreign land. The sexual practices of Thai migrant workers in Singapore, I argue, are best understood by taking the following factors into account: the host government's regulation and control of its migrant population; the foreign workers' economic and social situations of mobility as inscribed in their highly dynamic traveling biographies; and their rationalized willingness and desire to embrace transient sexual intimacies as part of their employment and/or struggling lives in the global city's survival circuits.     

汉画中“捞鼎”的社会意义及其生死象征

汉画像石中的“捞鼎”图像具有丰富的内涵和重要的意义,它不仅表现的是王权的更迭,更是两汉时期社会信仰意识的集中体现。画像中“鼎”的捞起与失落这一过程反映了生命的意义,具有灵魂重生和生命复出的隐喻。捞鼎画像在一定程度上反映了董仲舒的天人感应思想、汉代民间的宗教信仰以及汉人的生死观。     

东坡苏公帖碑研究

东坡苏公帖碑是现存刊刻最早的苏轼个人丛帖,也是历史上优秀的苏书刻石之一。本文对该帖作了多方面研究,并特别指出帖碑中保存的《中山松醪赋》“元祜正书本”是仅存的苏轼的两种写本之一,有别于人们熟知的“绍圣合卷本”。该本中苏轼修改的字迹表明它与《中山松醪赋》祖本有着很深的渊源关系。帖碑上四种苏轼手迹,三种墨迹已失传,有赖刻石流传,而帖碑是其传世最早的佳刻。因此,东坡苏公帖碑无论在保存东坡书迹方面。还是于苏轼诗赋校勘研究方面。都具有重要的价值,也是帖学研究中应该关注的重要对象。     

The Thai Lao – Thailand's largest unrecognized transboundary national ethnicity

In 1900, the Lao ethnonym, and thus the Lao, ‘officially’ disappeared from Siam. However, Lao culture and identity persisted at local, regional, and national levels. As Keyes (1967) discovered, ‘a Northeast Thailand‐based ethno‐regionalism’ emerged post‐World War II. This regionalism, which we re‐term ‘Thai Lao’ and specify to the majority ethnic community, exists in a contested relationship with both ‘Thai’ and ‘Lao’ identity. The survival of the Lao ethnic community's cultural identity occurred despite the best efforts of the Royal Thai Government (RTG) to eradicate aspects of Lao culture. These aspects included Lao language, religion, and history, using the school system, the Lao Buddhist Sangha, and the bureaucracy. Beginning in the 1990s, buoyed by a multitude of factors, the Lao ethnic community reappeared as the ‘Thai Lao’ or ‘Lao Isan’. This reappearance was noted in the RTG's Thailand 2011 Country Report (RTG 2011) to the UN Committee responsible for the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination. For nearly four decades now, ‘Laoism’ has recurred in Thai academia, the media, the public sphere, popular traditions, and even Lao apocalyptic millenarianism. Following Smith (1986, 1991, 1999), this article utilizes a historical ethno‐symbolist approach to analyse this recurrence.     

Political Dynasties in Thailand: The Recent Picture after the 2011 General Election

This article seeks to understand the patterns of family-based politics in Thailand’s 2011 House of Representatives election. The key question is whether the political dynasty, a sequence of political leaders who are considered members of the same family, is still a determining factor in Thai elections, and if so, to what extent compared to the past. Drawing on a rich set of data collected from election results between 1979 and 2011, this article argues that the political roles and influences of many political dynasties have become more complicated and have tended to increase, although some have experienced defeat in elections. The article finds that while belonging to a political dynasty could give new dynastic faces a better chance of winning a House election in their constituency than their non-dynastic counterparts, the most influential factor for electoral candidates in winning a House of Representatives election is belonging to the Pheu Thai Party or the Democrat Party. This article thus suggests that one of the best ways to avoid the monopoly of one or a few political families in Thai politics is to empower and support party members and eligible voters to meaningfully engage in political parties’ affairs and activities.     

From rural life to transnational wife: agrarian transition,gender mobility,and intimate globalization in transnational marriages in northeast Thailand

Popular and academic discourses of globalization are often gender biased, focusing on formal and impersonal realms of the market, politics, and technologies. This article explores an intimate dimension of globalization by analyzing the transnational marriage trend among women in northeast Thailand (Isan's) villages. The phua farang (foreign husband) phenomenon in Isan epitomizes the intimate link between the global political economy and individuals' desires, aspirations, and imagination in the private realm of personal and marital relationships. The phua farang phenomenon is embedded in a context of spatial and economic inequalities at the local, national, and global levels, and manifests classed and gendered strategies by which marginalized subjects attempt to transcend the limited opportunities for upward social mobility available to these women.

论民初陕西会党与革命党的冲突

民初,陕西会党与革命党发生了激烈冲突。冲突的发生,既有社会结构方面的原因,也有团体结构方面的原因。冲突具有两个明显特性：它是不冲击核心价值的对抗,是革命联盟内部不同利益群体之间的对抗,而不是革命的变革。对当时陕西社会而言具有诸多正功能。     

一本不该被忽视的史著——《马阁老洗冤录》

近人姚大荣所著《马阁老洗冤录》一书,旨在为马士英翻案。囿于成见,学界长期以来忽视其存在,乃至视而不见。笔者仔细研读全书,认为此书亦不乏值得今人学习和借鉴之处。但是它最大的不足就是臆断过多。本文主要介绍该书的内容,讨论其史学价值,以期引起有关治史者的相应注意;同时对书中的一些重要观点予以评析,希望能借此对马士英这一历史人物做出更全面更客观的认识和评价,并推进相关的研究。
