Sightseeing Buses: Cruising,Timing and the Montage of Attractions

Abstract

This article focuses on spatial performances, modes of vision and touring practices enabled by sightseeing bus‐tours. Thereby, three aspects of the process by which these buses transform urban space into destination space are discussed. First, bus‐tours delineate, as they move, a unique geography of routes and stops, which is based on structured improvisation. Second, guiding practices of tour guides are crucial for assembling together a destination and their success depends on timing. Third, tourist experiences enabled by sightseeing bus‐tours involve a ‘cruise‐ship‐like’ style of movement and a mode of vision reminiscent of the ‘montage of coming attractions’ characteristic of film‐trailers. The article concludes by stressing the multiple spatial displacements involved in bus‐tour production of destination space.     

宪政实践与以权利制约权力

以权利制约权力是宪政历史发展的必然趋势,以权利制约权力只有在宪政实践中才能得到保障。本次修宪为我国宪政实践的逐步展开、为真正实现以权利制约权力创造了有利条件。然而,宪政建设是一项长期的重要任务,以权利制约权也是一个全新课题。要使"纸上的宪法"转化为"现实的宪法",真正实现以权利制约权力,需要解决的问题还很多。

试论儿童教养方式“问题化”的对象——兼论儿童教养方式研究中几个概念的关系

20世纪90年代以来,在儿童教养方式研究中,有三个常用的概念和研究角度隔代教养、寄养和留守.从三个不同角度出发,学术界对儿童教养方式中的问题采用了不同的"问题化"策略.但"问题化"的角度不同,看到的问题就会大相径庭.因此,采用综合的"问题化"方式可能会更全面地理解和解释儿童教养方面存在的问题.     

我国国际惯例基本理论问题研究

文章针对我国学术界对国际惯例含义问题的不同看法 ,提出中国有关国内立法中的“国际惯例”不仅指实体意义上的国际惯例 ,也包括冲突法上的国际惯例。由于历史和现实的需要 ,国际惯例已成为我国国际经济法的重要渊源。其法律效力具有特殊性 ,一旦采用 ,即具有优先于公约和国内法的效力。论文建议“删除”我国立法中独特于他国立法的“公共秩序保留”;建议我国现行有关“国际惯例”的国内立法对有关的概念及其适用条件加以明确的界定及修改     

Kinesthesia,Synesthesia and Le Sacre du Printemps: Responses to Dance Modernism

ABSTRACT

“Kinesthesia, Synesthesia and Le Sacre du Printemps: Responses to Dance Modernism” discusses the reception of Vaslav Nijinsky's controversial choreography to Igor Stravinsky's Le Sacre du Printemps (1913) in the light of kinesthesia, or movement sense, and synesthesia or the merging of the senses. Dr. Järvinen argues that the invention of kinesthetic sense and particularly the theory of expression linked with this notion, kinesthetic sympathy, were historically and culturally specific responses to increasing abstraction as a goal in the arts, also seen in Le Sacre du Printemps, a work aiming to produce synesthetic experiences in the spectators.     

Methods Used with a High Ability Group

Teaching for social justice in a standards-driven social studies classroom can be challenging. However, the authors believe that there does not have to be a choice between meeting standards versus meeting the needs of students. Through semistructured interviews with four current social studies practitioners, the authors found similarities in the language the teachers used to describe the role of standards in their classrooms, teachers' perceptions of context as being important to the tension between teaching for social justice and teaching to standards, and the ways that perception impacted how they negotiated that tension. The authors offer social studies teachers an alternate conceptual frame for viewing social justice instruction in terms of methods rather than content.

Xinjiang’s geographies in motion

Starting from the idea that places are socially constructed, this essay explores how a place is established and lived in Xinjiang by the members of the area’s two largest ethnicities, the Uyghur and the Han. This article demonstrates that there are differences in the ways Han and Uyghur imagine and ‘live’ Xinjiang.¹1. Xinjiang is not a very fortunate toponym to use here because it is a Han-language term (meaning ‘New Frontier’) that was imposed during the colonization of the region by the Qing Dynasty (1644–1911). However, since there is no other term that comprises both regions of Tarim Basin and Dzungaria and also eastern Xinjiang, I am compelled to use it. For a discussion of the complex question of toponym-usage in this region see Millward, Eurasian Crossroads.View all notes At the same time it asserts that Uyghur and Han do not establish distinct spatial relationships just because of their ethnicity, but also to enhance ethnic solidarity and boundaries vis-à-vis the other. This essay also demonstrates that places are historically contingent, and discusses the ways in which the influx of temporary Han migrants and settlers – and Han capital – has generated new layers of spatial meaning and new power differentials.
