城镇规划中人文景观与生态保持

从人文历史的角度指出了当代城镇发展中具有战略意义的问题 ,即传统文献中对人类生存环境的人格化定义 ,剖析了古代自然观中人文精神的指向 ,对城市发展和生态环境具有十分重要的应用价值。尤其是景观建筑学中千层饼模式 ,与统一地理学、综合地理学等地理科学之间的理论互补作用 ,将使城镇规划的内涵拓展为一门以人文地理为主的系统科学 ,具有实践方面的可行性和长远意义。     

时间与空间的交织和变化——《水浒传》中的地理位置与黄河下游的河道变迁

就《水浒传》而言,至少存在3个时间概念:事件发生的北宋;作品产生的元末明初;读者所处的时代。空间与时间交织在一起,不能截然分开。如果不能充分了解空间随着时间而产生的变化,就可能引起混乱。黄河在宋元之间泛滥频繁,下游河道变化巨大,淤埋城镇村庄,改变平原水系道路。《水浒传》中不具体叙述地理位置,显示了作者的明智;而少数看似不合理的行走线路可能是真实存在的,如元末明初从江州至开封完全可以在梁山作水陆换行,这与当时黄河、运河的状况相符。因此,传统文化和人文学科的研究必须具备求真务实的科学精神。     

Women and toxic waste protests: Race,class and gender as resources of resistance

In recent years, women have been at the forefront of grassroot toxic waste protests in the United States. Out of their experience of protest, women construct ideologies of environmental justice, which reveal broader issues of inequality underlying environmental hazards. I examine the environmental discourse of white working class, African American and Native American women activists. The voices of these women show the ways in which their traditional role as mothers becomes a resource for their resistance. At the same time, their emerging analysis of environmental justice is mediated by different experiences of class, race, and ethnicity.     

祁韵士与嘉道西北史地研究

在清代学术史的研究中,祁韵士历来被视为嘉道西北史地学的开创者,其生平著述多为人知。本文旨在分析祁韵士在学术史中意义,认为祁韵士较前人更充分地融会了此前有关西北研究的资料,为后来学者提供了研究基础;祁韵士有关著作反映着当时学术风气与治学特点,也预示着西北史地研究的未来发展方向;祁韵士作为西北史地学人形象在道光年间被发掘的史实,显现清代西北史地研究由起始到兴盛的发展过程。     

抗日战争与中国文学地理变迁

抗日战争使中国文学地理发生了两个向度的变迁,一是文学中心的广泛流布;二是形成了色彩迥然不同的文学区域。这些变迁的文学史意义主要在于扩大了新文学的生存空间和传播领域,改善了文学同人民群众的关系,同时为中国文学的多样化发展提供了自足的空间,它们共同构成了中国现代文学多样化发展中的一种特殊表现形式。     

Brazil’s non-indifference: a case for a feminist diplomatic agenda or geopolitics as usual?

At the beginning of the twenty-first century, Brazil took advantage of its economically and politically privileged position to challenge global normative structures. In 2004, the concept of “non-indifference” was integrated into the Brazilian vocabulary of foreign policy, justifying and legitimating the country’s acceptance of the invitation to command the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH). On the one hand, non-indifference can be read as a discursive maneuver that enabled Brazil to accommodate its non-interventionist agenda to an old geopolitical game, given the pressure imposed upon “global players” to respond effectively and assertively to threats to international peace and security. On the other hand, the “Brazilian way” could also be seen as an alternative to a highly masculinized geopolitical approach to international security. This paper explores possible limitations, tensions and/or opportunities that emerge from the encounter between a feminist diplomatic agenda and a masculinizing ordering of the international space. It does so by contrasting Brazil’s ambition for a permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council (UNSC), the club of powerful states, with Brazil’s diplomatic and military performance during MINUSTAH, widely evaluated as a success due to characteristics such as solidarity, generosity, flexibility and the “warm conviviality” of Brazilian culture.     

Comparing ‘deep’ insider knowledge: developing analytical strategies for cross-national qualitative studies

ABSTRACT

One overarching question in scholarly methodological discussions on qualitative comparative approaches concerns how it is possible to compare and generalise deep insider knowledge across (nationally) specific contexts. The aim of this article is to propose a research strategy that both facilitates the comparison and theorisation of such knowledge across nations and limits the risks of reproducing naturalised national ‘truths’. The strategy is developed within a feminist, cross-national, qualitative comparative analysis of how European countries addressed military deaths in connection with the ISAF mission in Afghanistan. The article underlines the importance of collective analytical work and of strategies that allow continuous movement between insider and outsider positions throughout the research process. A number of analytical strategies are presented: collective project design, alternating between analytical closeness and distance, and de-familiarising writing practices.     

多要素流动、内生产业空间波动与经济地理新均衡——基于新经济地理学自由企业家模型的比较研究

促进新经济地理学理论的发展，不仅要根据理论要求的逻辑完美性修改假设，更为重要的是，要根据空间经济发展的现实修改模型的假设条件。由此，在研究上突破了新经济地理学模型单一生产要素流动假设的局限性，认为企业家与普通劳动者在地区间都可以流动，并且，普通劳动者在行业间也可以自由流动。与新经济地理学可解的经典模型——自由企业家模型相比，新的可解中心-外围模型丰富了新经济地理学的研究结论，发展了新的理论观点：突破点与持续点的大小比较存在三种关系。随着贸易自由度的变化，产业空间结构的演化除了棒棒均衡的结果外，不仅可能出现内部非对称结构为稳定均衡的情形，也可能出现内部非对称结构与中心-外围结构稳定均衡共存的情形，而不仅仅是对称结构与中心-外围结构稳定均衡共存的情形；随着贸易自由度的提高，工业品支出份额的增加，工业品间替代弹性的降低，会引起产业空间的稳定结构由对称结构向非对称结构转化；一旦产业空间结构演化的“黑洞条件”得到满足，则产业空间的稳定结构只能是内部非对称结构或中心-外围结构，而不仅仅是中心-外围的稳态结构。     

No city for migrant women: construction workers’ experiences of exclusion from urban governance and discrimination in labour markets in Ahmedabad

ABSTRACT

Ahmedabad, Gujarat, is one of the fastest growing cities in the world, and a reflection of India’s story of exclusionary economic growth. This article focuses on research carried out with women construction workers with the help of a migrant construction workers’ union in Ahmedabad. It describes the method used by women members of the union to make visible their experiences as migrants in the city – with men, local authorities, and employers – to highlight the additional burdens that they bear due to a negligent state and industry, advocate for better working and living conditions, and raise consciousness of gender inequalities that need to be integrated into the demands of the workers’ union.
