Odorous childhoods and scented worlds of learning: a sensory history of health and outdoor education initiatives in Western Europe (1900s-1960s)

ABSTRACT

This paper develops a sensory history of health and outdoor education initiatives which featured (non-)formal schooling, analyzing these as belonging to (a) scented and more generally sensed world(s) of learning. Working with photographs as sensory objects of affect, and using as examples Belgian and Luxembourg open-air schools and associated sanitary and social welfare provisions, the paper explores issues that have gone under-researched in sensory scholarship internationally: those of precise educational purposes, methods, processes and effects of sensory engagement, particularly pertaining to “smell”. Sensory practices and experiences and uses of senses generally are thereby traced in/as “situated, embodied” movements inextricably “enmeshed” with symbolism. The paper argues that while the educational goals underpinning the initiatives investigated and the approaches and practices characterizing these have changed, some (un)intended effects still have an impact today, for instance through Forest School as given shape in the United Kingdom. The concept of “odorous”, or rather “sensuous childhoods”, is proposed to denote ways that particular target groups have come to be imagined as in need of explicitly sensorial health and outdoor education.     

森林资源监督客体缺陷对监督质量的影响浅析

监督客体的缺陷并不是导致监督失效的直接原因,但它是有效监督的前提,它直接确定了监督质量的上限,所以森林资源监督的低效率并不一定缘于其自身,有相当大的可能由监督客体的因素所造成,本文从森林资源监督客体的多级委托代理、林业主管部门的双重管理体制、林业企业政企不分三个方面说明监督客体对森林资源监督质量的影响。

The Paradoxes of Modernity: Scientific Advances,Environmental Problems,and Risks to the Social Fabric?

Recent reviews have contrasted U.S. sociologists' empirical work on technological risks with the theoretical risk work of Giddens and Beck, but the reality is more complex. Most U.S. sociologists are less likely than Giddens or Beck to see risks as transcending socioeconomic and other divisions, but the United States–based work tends to interpret the trustworthiness of scientific–technical expertise in ways that lie between the arguments of Beck and Giddens. An examination of early nuclear technologies indicates that the United States–based perspectives provide a better fit, for theoretical as well as empirical reasons. The development of nuclear technologies was mixed, rather than high or low, in its competence and trustworthiness, and it created social and environmental risks that did not so much transcend social divisions as to reinforce them.     

天保工程区后续产业发展的紧迫性和基本思路

天保工程自1998年正式启动实施以来,已经取得了阶段性成果。但由于天保政策设计中,后续产业发展的政策缺项,使工程区后续产业发展缓慢,尚未起到支撑工程区经济社会发展的作用,工程区落后的经济社会发展局面没有彻底改变。能否发展起与生态建设相协调的后续产业,不仅成为生态建设能否长期深入开展的关键,而且关系到国有林区的生存与发展,关系到工程区广大林农和林区职工的切身利益。本文围绕工程区后续产业发展的重要性和紧迫性,分析了后续产业发展存在的主要问题,提出了后续产业发展的思路和对策。     

宁夏森林生态补偿政策创新与实践探索

在深入探索宁夏森林生态补偿实践历程的基础上,针对多元化补偿方式尚未形成、补偿标准偏低、补偿资金来源少、生态补偿管理部门职责交叉重复,以及生态补偿法律法规可操作性不强等问题,提出建立体制机制、制定系统的政策措施、完善法制保障体系、建立多元支付方式、提高公众生态保护意识等对策建议,为构建宁夏森林生态补偿制度和推动美丽新宁夏及西部地区生态文明先行区建设提供依据。     

农户参与退耕还林行为选择机理分析

退耕还林工程是迄今为止我国农户参与面最广的一项生态建设工程。该文首先分析了农户参与退耕还林行为选择的一般机理,并进行了农户参与退耕还林工程的成本与收益分析,进而指出：农户参与退耕还林的行为选择过程,多数情况下就是综合因素制约下的成本与收益之间进行权衡比较的过程,只有当预期总收益大于预期总成本时,农户才会参与退耕工程。     

海南省天然林保护工程实施影响实证分析

海南省是我国最早实施天然林保护工程的省份。本文通过一系列的调研工作,对海南省实施天然林保护工程以来森林资源、森工企业经营、企业职工状况、工程区居民生活改变等情况进行了详细描述,系统分析了海南省天然林保护工程实施的影响。文章认为海南省天然林保护工程的实施,取得了比较显著的生态效益,但对森工企业的经营、职工生活和社区居民生计方面产生了一些负面影响,应采取措施促进企业后续产业发展,改善职工生活。     

吉林省森林产权交易研究

森林产权交易是森林资产交易的核心。随着市场经济的发展,森林产权中的无形资产将越来越多,创新型森林产品将层出不穷,产权交易的重要性必将引起人们的重视。要振兴吉林省林业,必须认真研究森林产权交易,这也是深入落实林业科学发展观的实践步骤。笔者从森林产权交易的要素入手进行分析,认为森林产权交易必须规范化、市场化、法制化。     

紫金山国家森林公园的多文化特征与多功能经营对策

以历史演变为线索,分析了紫金山陵寝文化、宗教文化、休闲文化、生态文化、科技文化和体育文化等特征。在南京漫长的城市发展过程中,紫金山国家森林公园形成了多种文化此消彼长、矛盾而又统一的演变格局。从文化与旅游关系的角度,明确了紫金山国家森林公园生态平衡、文物古迹保护、市民休闲等多功能性质定位。从森林文化旅游产品体系构建、风景林分类经营区划2个方面制定森林公园多功能经营策略,以期探索出一条古都城市森林公园可持续经营之路。
