文学地理与阎连科的乡土叙事

文学地理与阎连科的乡土叙事有着密切的亲缘关系,一方面,通过对“耙耧山脉”的不断书写,阎连科建构了一隅能充分调动自己情感、想象及艺术创造的独特地理空间,这一文学地理也成为其创作成熟的重要标志;另一方面,“耙耧山脉”这块独特文学地理不仅塑造了阎连科的情感结构和价值取向,同时也深度地参与了其乡土小说的主题表达,叙事方式和话语风格。阎连科在建构了自己文学地理的同时,还深刻地意识到“耙耧山脉”这一狭小地理空间所蕴含的民族性、世界性,进而通过对地理的超越,使其乡土叙事获得了更为宽广的世界意义与人类意义。     

楚國“麻邑”考

《左传·昭公四年》中吴伐楚,取楚之"棘、栎、麻"三邑。其中"麻邑"的地望,历来有襄城、安阳和麻城三说。文章试图证明清代江永的今麻城说更为符合历史真实,并对古鸠兹国的地望和麻城之得名提出了新的看法。     

A High School Course in Sociology

Because of the importance that geography plays in our understanding of economics, history, and politics, it has been argued that the subject should be taught to students beginning at the early elementary level, usually focusing on the family unit and local communities. However, when the proper technology tools and strategies are used, students at the kindergarten level can learn more complex concepts of geography and other social studies ideas and Common Core Standards. This article is a narrative about how a kindergarten teacher's discovery of “website widgets” brought the world to her classroom while helping her students learn important social studies knowledge and skills.     

Teachers’ Page

Encouraging elementary students to become aware of place and the role it plays in shaping their lives can provide them with a clearer sense of self and a greater appreciation for diversity. To support this premise, this article explores using six National Council for the Social Studies Notable Trade Books to assist primary students in their understanding of place. By using realistic fiction and nonfiction picture books that focus on children's lives in diverse locations, the suggested activities enable teachers to address the five themes of geography and promote cultural awareness to elementary students in meaningful ways. The author provides a summary of each book and describes student-centered activities to develop concepts related to the NCSS thematic strands of culture; people, places, and environments; and individual development and identity.     

人文地理学与社会学空间研究的比较分析:共识、差异与共同问题

人文地理学和社会学的空间研究是社会空间研究的两种路径。两个学科的空间研究都承认空间的社会性,并以社会和空间的辩证关系作为分析的核心。但两个学科的研究又存在差异,人文地理学本身就是一门空间科学,社会学则是把空间视角纳入社会理论的建构中。学科的共识和差异分别成为社会空间研究理论的建构基础和拓展动力。我们需要注意的是,社会空间探讨存在着诸如社会—空间二元分裂倾向、忽视时间等问题,这些问题阻碍了社会空间研究的发展,亦成为人文地理学和社会学面临的共同难题。     

山水游宦视域下宋人“金山题咏”的文化意蕴

因与文学创作建立起稳固的生命联系,士人游宦中的集中地域往往成为饱含丰富文化信息的文学地标,宋代丰富多彩的金山题咏诗歌就是“文学地理学”的绝佳体现.金山有独特的地理优势和人文蕴涵,宋人游宦往来于金山,诗歌题咏中充满了命运类似的宦游之思,在壮观山水的赏悟中突出了不同于唐人的精神张势,也展现出追询精神家因的心理流程和心安为家的化遣思路.     

Walking with technology: understanding mobility-technology assemblages

ABSTRACT

It is difficult to deny that technology – be it listening to music through headphones, engaging with smartphone apps or conversing through hands-free headsets – has become a ubiquitous part of everyday walking practices, influencing daily activities and shaping how these are operationalised. While digital technologies cannot replace conventional interactions with landscapes (e.g. the weather, clothing, street furniture, etc.), the intersections of people, places and technologies can converge in exciting and surprising ways to produce new forms of interrelating with(in) spaces. In this paper, I focus on the digital walking tour as a novel instrument through which to examine how mobility-technology assemblage assists with understanding how engagements with environments might produce various, contrasting assemblages of mobilities, bodies, affects, emotions and placemaking. I argue that participating within hybridised physical/digital spaces affects and is affected by different mobility practices. Through this paper, I propose that mobility-technology assemblage thinking provides new interventions into the ways in which people interact with technology, with each other and with(in) everyday spaces. Hence, while the person–technology interface may be considered a largely individual experience, I posit that the amalgamation of people, places and technologies can, in fact, greatly influence how pedestrian experiences are assembled, transmitted, received and interpreted.     

Smart cities: implications of urban planning for human resource development

This paper looks at creative or smart city experiments around the world that are aimed at nurturing a creative economy through investment in quality of life which in turn attracts knowledge workers to live and work in smart cities. It highlights the need for and broad nature of human resource/talent development initiatives at the intermediate level, that is regional and city level, as opposed to organizational and national level. Using the literature on economic geography, it provides a useful theoretical framework to cross organizational boundaries and look for factors that influence the decision of knowledge workers in choosing a location to live and work. The implications of urban planning on the theory and practice of human resource development are explored.     

洪亮吉在陕西的学术活动及影响

为了研究洪亮吉在陕西的学术活动与其舆地研究、方志理论的建树之间的关系,通过对洪亮吉游幕陕西期间协助毕沅编纂校勘图籍、参与修纂陕西方志、广交学界名儒等活动进行研究。研究认为洪亮吉在毕沅及其幕中学人的影响下积极从事各种学术活动,不但确立了他的舆地研究方向,还在方志修纂实践中进行方志理论的探讨和总结,其方志思想初步形成;不足4年的游幕陕西经历,无疑是洪亮吉学术人生的重要阶段。
