Maps,markets and Merlot: The making of an antipodean wine appellation

Rural places acquire value in different ways and geographers have adopted a range of approaches to understand the way value is created in land and place. This paper analyses the case of the Gimblett Gravels wine district in Hawke's Bay, New Zealand. This district has been transformed over the space of 20 years from a peri-urban wasteland to, now, one of the most sought-after and expensive winegrowing areas in the country. In this process of revaluation, several forces were evident. There was an economic–environmental process, by which grape growers and winemakers learned that the district possessed the ability to produce consistent harvests of high quality red grapes and, consequently, land was purchased at ever-increasing rates. There was then a deliberate attempt to ‘construct’ the Gimblett Gravels district in the market place, the result of concerted co-operative action by winegrowers in the district to promote the idea of a Gimblett Gravels terroir in a registered trademark. Finally, we can see that the revaluation of the district has also been related to the wider social acceptance of wine as a fashionable commodity. These processes have occurred in a virtual legislative vacuum in New Zealand regarding the protection and regulation of geographical indicators, though this may soon change. Thus, to understand the value of place, it is argued that we need a multi-faceted approach that incorporates environmental and economic processes alongside political regulation and social construction.     

“吃人”命题的世纪苦旅——从鲁迅《狂人日记》到莫言《酒国》

莫言的《酒国》是在鲁迅传统及《狂人日记》的影响下创作的长篇小说,由于"吃人"主题的再现从而与《狂人日记》取得了某种精神对应。两篇小说中的"吃人"内涵同中有异。第一层面都指向真正的肉体"吃人"。第二层面是指向象征意义上的"吃人",《狂人日记》侧重于文化文明层面的批判,《酒国》侧重于现实政治层面的批判。两者的"吃人"都具有巨大的同化性与普适性,启蒙者形象被彻底解构,表现了改造"吃人"文化的艰难。两者都表达了对未来的焦虑和渴望。第三层面可作普遍的人类学意义上的理解。产生于20世纪的《狂人日记》和《酒国》体现的人道立场、启蒙态度、民主观念与批判精神,使之和古代的同类"吃人"题材的作品划上一道分水岭。
