“京西太平鼓”史迹考索

列入国家级非物质文化遗产名录的"京西太平鼓",是我国北方太平鼓的一个地域性分支。唐代以前的几种舞蹈与它具有渊源关系,直接的源头则是宋代定名的"太平鼓"。明清大量诗文记录了北京太平鼓的兴盛,证明这种民间艺术已经从农村走进城市。受清朝道光年间危害城市治安事件的牵连,太平鼓表演逐渐从北京退回郊区农村。今人主张的清末才由北京传入京西之说,则与史实大相径庭。隐含在古籍中的许多重要史料,尚需进一步发掘和研究。     

动物喻体在维英谚语中的文化异同对比研究

在维吾尔语、英语谚语中均有大量的动物喻体谚语条目,文章从比较语言学的角度,从家畜类、猫狗宠物类、野生动物类、禽鸟和昆虫类、水族类等方面对含有动物喻体的维、英谚语进行归类、比较和分析,发现很多动物喻体在两种语言文化中象征涵义相似或截然不同。进而探究两种语言背后的独特文化模式,即宗教历史、经济生活、习俗道德、自然地理环境等的影响。     

游客对世界文化遗产保护资金支付意愿的研究

在文化遗产支付意愿现有研究的基础上建立了游客对世界文化遗产保护资金支付意愿影响因素的研究假设,选择世界文化遗产景区——南京明孝陵作为研究案例,通过问卷调查,利用Logistic回归模型,对研究假设进行检验,揭示影响游客对世界文化遗产保护资金支付意愿的主要因素。结果显示:文化旅游参与度、重游意向、性别、教育水平和平均月收入对游客文化遗产保护资金支付意愿有显著的作用,而平均月收入的作用最明显。

In this article, a modified format for culturally competent intellectual assessment is discussed. The interaction between culture and language, and their impact on the development of specific cognitive competencies is explored. Practical suggestions for testing children of color are provided.     

Pedophiles in the Ultra-Orthodox Haredi Sector in Israel: Thought Processes Regarding their Actions

ABSTRACT

This study explores thought patterns of Jewish Ashkenazi Ultra-Orthodox pedophiles in Israel and how they resolve the contradiction between their commitment to Jewish Law and having committed sexual offenses against minors. Ten adult men participated in this study. Using open semistructured interviews, their cognitive distortions before, during, and after the abuse were examined. Content analysis revealed that participants used cognitive distortions based on their own world of Jewish Law and social-cultural values. The insular nature of Ultra-Orthodox society and its many prohibitions, especially regarding sexuality, tempted offenders to test boundaries. When sexual drive was high, internal control mechanisms were ineffective even in presence of external control mechanisms. Some participants recognized the contradiction between their behaviors and being Ultra-Orthodox Jews, and others did not. Based on the findings, a flow chart was devised describing the cognitive processes of Jewish Ultra-Orthodox pedophiles. Theoretical and practical implications of the results were examined.     

Contingent Hybridity: The Cultural Politics of Tepoztl‡n's Anti-Golf Movement

In order to maintain some level of local control over both ideological and material resources, local social activists construct hybrid cultures that reflect their simultaneous insertion into local, national, and global cultural discourses. Theirs is a contingent hybridity in that it reflects the specificities of their experience as well as the conscious attempts to resist the homogenizing tendencies of global discourses while not isolating themselves from those discourses. This article analyzes the conflict in the town of Tepoztl?n, Morelos, Mexico, over the construction of a golf course and the ensuing movement against the project. While emphasizing local practices and making use of local communicative networks, movement leaders were also quite adept at moving between the cultural realities of Tepoztl?n and their own experiences outside of the town in order to forge alliances with transnational organizations. As a result, many Tepoztecos now make use of such labels as "environmentalist," but do so within the embedded social and cultural structures of their community.     

Perspectives of Culture-Bearers on the Vitality,Viability and Value of Traditional Khmer Music Genres in Contemporary Cambodia

Previous studies have explored the historical and social context for the endangerment and subsequent revitalisation of Cambodian performing arts, but little work has focused on music, or the views of culture-bearers themselves on these issues. By thematically analysing qualitative data from semi-structured interviews conducted in early 2013, this research explores the perspectives and motivations of a group of master-musicians, teachers and performers who are making efforts to sustain and revive their music traditions. Participants emphasised five factors that they believed significantly interplayed with the vitality of traditional Khmer music genres. Four of these were generally perceived to have an overall adverse effect on vitality: ‘outside’ influence; loss of interest and knowledge among younger people; low market demand for performances and teaching; and perpetuation of limiting constructs and belief systems. Only one factor identified was perceived to have a beneficial effect on vitality: the strength of infrastructure for learning and teaching. Somewhat surprisingly, then, opinions about the viability of traditional genres were on aggregate highly optimistic, though with some concern expressed about the impact of government action (and inaction) on this issue. Justifications given for sustaining and revitalising traditional Khmer genres included the role of these traditions in education and ritual, Cambodian national identity and musicians’ livelihoods. The study confirms the perceived value, among one group of culture-bearers, of revitalising Khmer music traditions.
