华侨与南洋劝业会

1910年的南洋劝业会与华侨有着密切的关系。一则华侨对于南洋劝业会的举办起了极大的推动作用 ,二则陈列华侨展品的暨南馆是南洋劝业会中的一个亮点 ,同时以南洋劝业会为机缘 ,还出现了华侨回国投资的热潮。华侨的种种作为 ,在某种程度上实现了清政府举办南洋劝业会的设想和愿望 ,推动了中国民族资本主义的发展 ;从中不难发现 ,在中国由农业社会向商业社会的过渡中 ,华侨起着一定的先导作用。

Of ‘Paradise’ and its underbelly: Spaces of power in the everyday of a gated enclave in Urban India

This article is set in a gated enclave of the new elite in Mysuru (formerly Mysore) city in the state of Karnataka in South India. Mysuru is a growing information technology centre that it is also undergoing urban transformation which includes international style fortified neighbourhood developments suitable for this class of highly qualified, globally mobile wealthy professionals predominantly engaged in the information technology sector. Residents in the neighbourhood seem to live in a world of their own, where they set their own rules and enforce their own sanctions. They have chosen to stay there to segregate themselves from the world outside. Ensconced in their comfortable high walled enclosures, they nevertheless allow the entry of a much polarized lower class into their homes as workers for various services, for sheer need of sustaining the grandeur of their daily lives. The neighbourhood association has become a powerful corporate and a potent tool for expression of everyday power.Using participant observation, interviews, narrative lore and other qualitative measures, the article probes the psyche of the new elite, their interaction with service classes, and the dynamics of power in the enclave. Narrating one incident as the prism that deflects several strands in the complex web of relationships, I have demonstrated the power of the residents’ welfare association as experienced, expressed and enacted in the everyday in that domain. I have argued that this power gets augmented through the fortification and essentially draws from ownership and control over spatial arrangements.

上海民族自行车产业研究(1897-1949)

本文以上海市档案馆馆藏档案和《中国旧海关史料(1859-1948年)》等资料为基础,综合其他史料,力图勾勒出近代上海民族自行车产业从无到有,从外商垄断的市场中破土萌芽、几遭磨难,顽强应对日本同业的倾轧挤压、最终由弱到强、同业连心共同抵制日货回沪的艰难变迁之路。这是在近代中国"西器东渐"历史大背景下,器物文化史研究中经济层面的一项个案研究。     

“南丁格尔纪念日”的引入:中华护理学会对护士形象的塑造

民国时期,南丁格尔纪念日被中华护理学会移植至近代中国,成为医界的一个重要节日。中华护理学会极力提倡南丁格尔纪念日,对医院、护士学校等开展纪念活动予以明确规约和指导,通过规定时间、空间布置、仪式安排等多手段塑造护士形象,通过演讲、戏剧、歌曲等多形式的应用,强化民众对南丁格尔的认同。中华护理学会宣传并推广南丁格尔纪念日,使其由抽象意义的舶来品转化为具有中国特色的具体纪念实践,而护士形象正是在南丁格尔纪念活动中得以逐渐确立。
