甘肃南部林区族群生存文化的生态人类学研究——以舟曲县3个藏汉村寨为例

甘肃省南部林区属于国家长江上游水土保持重点防治区域,具有非常重要的战略地位。世代居住在这块地方上的藏、汉族群积累了大量与所处环境相适应的生存技能和经验。构筑起与这种生态环境相适应的生存文化,形成了以森林为核心的生态系统与以苯教为核心的生存文化之间的共生关系。在保护当地生态环境、改善类似地区的生态环境、改变同一地区不同族群的生态观念等方面都能发挥作用,具有很强的实用价值,应该进行深入发掘和总结。     

弗雷泽与南岛语族神话研究

在中国,弗雷泽的人类学著作<金枝>一书影响很大,却少有人去注意弗雷泽的另两部著作--1918年出版的<旧约中的民俗>与1930年出版的<火种起源神话>.前一部书中一个章节讨论洪水神话,包括了世界各地的洪水神话资料,也包括台湾原住民的洪水神话;而后者则举了台湾阿里山邹族的火种神话例子.本文希望借由弗雷泽这两部著作,讨论这位人类学家对南岛语族神话的调查与贡献.     

试论“猺”、民、汉的演变——地方和家族历史中的族群标签

广西大藤峡地区在明代以猺乱频繁而闻名。明中期,桂西土司狼兵进入当地平乱,明政府安插教化,形成了猺、獞、狼、民等族类共存的格局。清朝,隨着国家正统文化秩序确立,土著通过创建宗族等方式建构祖先的士大夫形象。现今该地区被称为猺、獞、狼者已踪影难觅,取而代之者是被认定为汉族的人群,大多族谱也称祖先来自广东。族群标签及族谱编撰的背后,呈现的是地方社会变迁与国家秩序建立的复杂历史过程。本文以大藤峡地区崇姜里人群的身份变化为个案来揭示此过程。     

从汉语中的时间名词看汉民族对时间范畴的认知

时间名词是一个民族对时间范畴认知的印记。仅从汉民族对记时时间和对持续时间的认知两个方面的探究,就可以发现汉民族对时间范畴的认知是多角度、多方式的,也是相当精细的。

浅议当前我国立法需要完成的几个任务

我国社会主义法律体系虽然已经基本形成,但针对当前突出的社会问题,立法需要承担起社会主义道德建设的重任,树立社会主义核心价值观,实现法律与道德的相互促进。所以,在立法时应实现对社会各种利益进行确认、保护与分配的任务,平衡不同的利益冲突,加大对社会弱势群体的保护力度,以实现社会的公正与和谐。

文化冲突视野下青年世界观问题研究

当前的中国正处于社会转型的关键时期。在这个特殊的历史时期,社会中充斥着各种文化冲突。这些不同文化之间的相互冲突,对于当前的青年群体正确世界观的确立产生了诸如对科学世界观缺乏认同、不能正确认识个人和社会的关系、有神论思想及思想方法片面等很多消极影响。为此,对青年世界观的教育,应着重采取实践教育、区别对待、具体指导、情感培养、实现知识内化等措施。     

Grandchildren's perspectives on grandparents in rural New Zealand

Within studies of ageing, rurality and family relations, the prevalent “point of view” is based on the perspectives of adults, particularly older people themselves. However, taking seriously the reciprocal nature of kinship relations also challenges researchers to find ways to explore younger people's views and experiences of intergenerational ties. The study on which this paper is based addressed this challenge, by considering the dynamics of ageing in rural families through the lens of young people's experience. In the South Island of New Zealand, Area Schools serve families in rural regions specifically defined in terms of a catchment area based on distance from any other state school. This research study selected five (from 16) of these schools, and invited the classes of Year 7 and 8 students to take part in a classroom activity, led by the researcher with support from the class teacher. The activity involved a total of 98 young people (aged 11–13) in written completion of a survey which outlined their relationships and contacts with the people they know as grandparents, along with basic demographics of their own age, gender, family and household situation, and length of attendance at the school. From this survey, information was derived about 380 grandparents (of whom 73 were no longer alive), the nature and frequency of their contacts, and the types of activities they shared with these grandchildren. Around 40 percent of the students have daily or weekly contact with a grandparent, one third “regularly do things together”, and one fifth say they have “a special relationship” with a grandparent. By controlling the age group of the grandchild, and focussing on rural families, this study adds insights and detail to a growing body of research interest in understanding the roles and contributions made by grandparents to New Zealand families, in particular those in rural communities.     

Older people and poverty in rural Britain: Material hardships,cultural denials and social inclusions

This paper explores the relations between older people, poverty and place in rural Britain. It develops previous work on rural poverty that has pointed both to the significance of older people within the rural poor population and to their denials of poverty. The paper also connects with recent discussions on the complexity of relations between poverty and social exclusion in later life, as well as key themes emerging from studies of older people in disadvantaged urban neighbourhoods. Drawing on findings from a survey of 4000 households in rural Wales and interviews with older people in poverty in three rural places, the paper provides a detailed examination of the materialities and experiences of poverty among older people in rural places. In particular, it highlights how older poor groups construct their lives in complex terms with references made to both social inclusions and exclusions. The research also points to the significance of the socio-cultural contexts of place in shaping older people's understandings of poverty in rural areas.
