近代山东民团研究(1911—1930)

本文重点论述近代以来,尤其是在1911—1930年间,山东民团兴起的社会背景、组织状况以及其存在的积极作用和弊端及其影响。从而认为,近代山东民团作为一种民众自卫武装力量。一方面在维护基层社会稳定和防御土匪侵扰等方面起了一定的积极作用,但另一方面,随着社会环境的恶化,由于自身存在的缺陷,民团也在一定程度上自觉不自觉地走向土匪化,而民团的土匪化则是近代以来山东土匪世界形成的一个重要来源。     

Servants of empire: The British training of domestics for Australia, 1926-31

Between 1926 and 1930 the Australian and British governments jointly funded a specialized centre at Market Harborough, England, to train women for domestic service. This centre was the first such institution specifically designed to prepare migrants for employment in a particular occupation in Australia. Although the number of graduates was not significant as a proportion of the domestic service workforce of Australia, and although the scheme was brought to a sudden end when the Depression stopped assisted migration generally, the experiment was important. It demonstrated that domestic servants could be drawn from a 'better type' if training could be applied to raising the status of the occupation. For the British and Australian governments this outcome satisfied a desire to use the assisted immigration of young women to increase the population of Australia and the empire, as well as underpinning a model of society in which bourgeois domesticity reigned.     

宗族风土的地域与心性：近世福建义序黄氏的历史人类学考察

本文是笔者宗族风土论的一个组成部分。即近世福建义序黄氏宗族的历史人类学研究部分。笔者采用了传统中国政治制度的结构分析和福建地方社会风土考察相结合的研究视角,根据人类学田野调查的观察和对族谱等第一手资料的解读,勾勒了宋代末期到民国中期义序宗族的历史。义序个案提示,虽然族产和乡绅的能动性时宗族的组织化具有决定性的功能作用,但父系的观念系谱和以此为基础的宗族乡村的日常生活和文化传承是近世宗族存续的文化前提和社会基础。这种宗族的风土性渊源于传统中国政治制度结构性要求和以儒教为代表的精英文化的长期渗透,同时在这一过程中宗族自身亦成为晚期王朝统治和德治政治文化的基础。
