祭、赛搭台 戏曲培栽——关于中日韩民俗演艺的保护与研究

我国戏曲艺术是以由祭仪到巫觋、坛班或赛班为重要载体而培栽、发展起来的.即使在娱乐剧已经较普遍存在的情况下,也时常还要依靠祭祀剧而取得演出、发展的最好条件.由祭仪、祭祀剧而孕育出戏曲的发展经历,有着五个阶段.(一)"变相条祀"阶段.(二)具有戏剧化属性的祭祀形式阶段.(三)"亦祭变戏","祭"、"戏"难分的阶段.(四)"含有祭祀法事因素的‘戏剧"阶段.(五)完全将祭祀纳入"戏剧"轨道的阶段.所以应将研究祭祀剧、观赏性戏剧之间如何相互影响、携手并进,提上议事日程,作重点的突进.     

Spirituality,Sacrifice, and Relationship Quality for Expectant Cohabitors

Given negative effects of cohabitation, we examine negative (ambivalence, conflict) and positive (commitment, satisfaction) relationship quality, as explained by perceptions of ease of relational sacrifices and spirituality, for unmarried cohabitors expecting their first child (46 individuals). Controlling for race/ethnicity and education, perceived ease of relational sacrifice was associated with greater satisfaction and lower ambivalence and conflict, whereas spirituality was not associated with any of the relationship quality variables. Examined together, greater ease of relational sacrifice and higher spirituality were associated with greater commitment and satisfaction and lower ambivalence and conflict. Given that many studies of cohabitation focus on demographic factors and that many studies of spirituality focus on married couples, the current study expands knowledge regarding relationship quality for nontraditional couples.     

清初戏曲家嵇永仁生平初探

嵇永仁是清初戏剧舞台上占有重要一席的戏曲家。他多才艺,工诗文,善医学,精通音律,酷爱戏曲,著有杂剧《游戏三昧》《续离骚》,传奇《珊瑚鞭》《布袋禅》《扬州梦》《双报应》,在戏曲创作上取得了引人瞩目的成就。在清初"三藩之乱"中,嵇永仁舍生取义,以气节著称。     

濂溪祠堂考

后世尊称理学鼻祖周敦颐为濂溪先生,随着他在思想史上地位的不断提高、理学思潮的兴盛和统治者关于祠堂制度的改变等,从南宋开始出现濂溪祠堂,明清时期,对濂溪祠堂的修缮各地一直都在进行。濂溪祠堂的地点主要分布在湖南、江西、广东、四川、福建、湖北六地,修建者主要是地方官员。濂溪祠堂的兴起不仅是理学发展的结果,也客观上对理学的兴盛起到了助推作用。     

牺牲的意义——论十七年革命历史题材小说中的死亡美学

在十七年革命历史题材小说文本中,对死亡的言说大致有三种模式,即战场牺牲、狱中就义和以身殉公,其对死亡情境的叙述也与左翼文学构成了明显的互文性,并形成新的意义阐释空间。因此,在革命话语的价值体系和叙述机制中,革命的牺牲被寄寓了复杂的道德情感和伦理目的,而死亡意义也在被赋予历史的正义价值后,上升为被后世仿效的道德理性而获得了在更广阔的意义空间的延伸。     

祭祀文化与先秦郊庙乐歌

祭祀文化是种古老的文化,先秦郊庙乐歌是集诗歌、音乐、舞蹈于一体的综合艺术.它因郊庙祭祀而产生,又为郊庙祭祀所用,所以,其创作要与祭祀文化的天命观、孝道观、功利观等相适应,这样才能达到感天地、通神明、神人敦和的目的.     

Analytic expressions for maximum likelihood estimators in a nonparametric model of tumor incidence and death

This research focuses on the estimation of tumor incidence rates from long-term animal studies which incorporate interim sacrifices. A nonparametric stochastic model is described with transition rates between states corresponding to the tumor incidence rate, the overall death rate, and the death rate for tumor-free animals. Exact analytic solutions for the maximum likelihood estimators of the hazard rates are presented, and their application to data from a long-term animal study is illustrated by an example. Unlike many common methods for estimation and comparison of tumor incidence rates among treatment groups, the estimators derived in this paper require no assumptions regarding tumor lethality or treatment lethality. The small sample operating characteristics of these estimators are evaluated using Monte Carlo simulation studies.
