大一统秩序下的华夷之辨、天朝想象与海禁政策

大一统是华夏文明对于世界的表象,也是中华民族进行资源组织和动员的方式与机制,它以绝对者的名义强调了中央对四方的统摄、王权对万物的占有,以天道的光辉塑造着天朝上国的荣耀和尊严。作为大一统内部核心系统与次级系统之间的一条边界,华夷之辨起着约束系统能量、强化系统向心力的作用,实际上是系统进行自我调节与自我防卫的反馈机制,其诉求点在于核心系统即华夏文明的安全和稳定;海禁政策则是沉浸于天朝想象中的统治者在华夷边界漫溢、大一统秩序濒于崩溃之时采取的本能反应。     

伦理道德对“法治”的基础性支持维度

“法治”不同于“法制”和“依法治国” ,它的实质是一种正义、自由精神 ,而这种精神与伦理道德的价值追求是一致的。法治精神的外化即法律的基础在于伦理道德原则 ,不论是其合理性还是其秩序的建立 ,都要以伦理道德为保证 ,而且法治的具体实施即立法、执法和守法更是需要道德的支撑。     

从比较中认识“层累”理论的学术价值

“层累”理论是对上古记叙史学形成轨迹和发展规律的描述与揭示。当代西方学者、日本学者对上古 神话史学、宗教史学的研究印证了这一理论。但它的意义不限于上古记叙史学的范围,还可用于整个历史学研究, 用于神话史学与宗教史学研究,甚至用于认识史学或意识形态史学的研究。此外,在本体论、认识论和方法论上, 这一理论的价值也应给予足够重视。     

Responding to the experiences of minority ethnic children in virtually all-white communities

This paper aims to contribute to the relatively small body of literature on the minority ethnic experience in almost entirely white communities, by reporting the findings of qualitative research into the experiences of minority ethnic children living in the South Wales valleys. Twenty‐eight interviews were conducted with children and their parents/carers. Interviews with children also included sentence completion and card‐sorting tasks. The paper focuses on the views expressed about quality of life, sense of community, leisure activities, experience of racism and dealings with institutions. The children and adults revealed a complex picture, which challenges both optimistic accounts of ‘traditional’ communities and also the negativity of pressure group reports on racism in similar areas. There is considerable variety of experience, mediated by class and gender. Whilst racism is in many respects an ever‐present reality for these children, many of them find creative ways of responding to their situation. Several also spoke of their lives in the valleys in generally very positive terms. The paper concludes by reflecting on the potential implications of the research for policy and practice.     

Gender, social capital and location: understanding the interactions

In recent years, governments in many post-industrial nations have re-discovered 'community'. Social capital and neighbourhood renewal are key concepts underpinning policies aimed at building the capacities of communities to respond to the problems facing them. Despite the apparent consensus amongst Anglo-American governments about the use of social capital, and related concepts, as a guide for policy formulation these ideas remain hotly contested amongst social policy commentators. Against a general backdrop of disquiet about the application of social capital initiatives to communities facing significant social and economic challenges, some commentators highlight the curious inattention to gender in debates about social capital. This is all the more troubling given the apparent reliance of social capital initiatives on the informal network-building activities often undertaken by women. In this article we present findings from an empirical study of social capital creation across four geographically diverse communities. We show that the relationship between gender and social capital is complex. We argue that the 'one-size-fits-all' approach to social capital formulation fails to recognise gendered patterns of social capital formulation, but so, too, do analyses of gender that neglect the complex interactions between gender and other factors, particularly location, age and income. We argue for approaches to policy formulation that recognise local differences, including differences between and amongst men and women in social capital creation.

New community in a new space: artificial,natural, created,contested. An idea from a golf estate in Johannesburg

Attention is constantly devoted to the question of living together and sharing spaces, which is often translated as a matter of social and spatial segregation and belonging to a community. New spatial, social and institutional geographies have emerged as a potential cornerstone of separateness and togetherness in South Africa with the emergence of the gated community. This article tackles the concept of “community” within the space of a golf estate (a type of gated community) located in the West Rand, Johannesburg. It aims to understand new geographies of the city through an analysis of the organisation and social life inside and outside the estate. The notion of community is explored by looking at the system engendered by the main legal actor within the estate, the Homeowners Association (HOA). It will be argued that some of these new spaces are made neutral through the action of the HOA, an agent that institutionally constructs a communitarian lifestyle, accepted and contested simultaneously by the residents. Through the formalisation of a system in which holiday-style living is promoted, life is represented as real to the residents but lived in a virtual way when linked to broader societal and urban changes, thus reframing the notion of segregation.     

Local Environment of Neighborhood Naturally Occurring Retirement Communities (NORCs) in a Mid-Sized U.S. City

As the U.S. population ages, almost half of elderly householders have lived in their current home for more than 20 years, and a significant majority wish to remain in their current residence or community for as long as possible as they age. Concern with how communities will cope with these trends has led to a growing interest in naturally occurring retirement communities (NORCs), which are neighborhoods or housing complexes that house a concentration of older adults, and their potential to enhance efforts to support aging-in-place. In this article, we examine the local built and social environment of neighborhood NORCs in Tallahassee, Florida, a low-density mid-sized city. We found that a large proportion of NORCs are located in neighborhoods with an urban form, or physical design, that is presumed to be less supportive of active aging, and associated with poor access to amenities, such as grocery stores, pharmacies, and parks. Another substantial portion of NORCs are located in neighborhoods with some aspects of a supportive urban form. We also found that NORCs are over-represented in neighborhoods featuring low residential turnover and above average homeownership rates. This suggests a potential for collective action to facilitate aging-in-place, even in neighborhoods thought not to have supportive physical environments.

逻:用于表示以自然天险为边境的界碑 ——《大唐西域记》汉译地名研究札记

《大唐西域记》汉译地名出现的逻字,一方面是西域语的音译,具有标音作用;另一方面,又包含意译因素,表示名称所指对象,处于自然天险的边缘,以高山大川等作为边界。这类名称涉及作为边界的西域邦国、城邑、山水,集中分布在南亚次大陆北端,以古代北印度、覩货逻故地居多。作为邦国、城邑、山水、边境的天险有葱岭、印度河、喜马拉雅山等,都是高山巨川。书中的逻字暗含边缘、遮拦两种意义,在词语义项演变链条中处于重要环节。
