关于中国现代史分期问题的思考

目前,史学界对于中国现代史的分期看法不一,形成不同的主张：或以重大政治历史事件为标准,或依据《关于建国以来党的若干历史问题的决议》,或以经济社会发展目标模式为分期标准。这些标准都不符合中国通史的学科分期要求。中国现代史作为通史,其分期应当以社会形态的变迁为标准,应根据社会主义的不同发展模式,将其划分为新民主主义时期或社会主义的准备时期、苏联模式社会主义时期或传统社会主义时期、中国特色社会主义时期或现代社会主义时期。     

《庄子·天下》与中国古代学术史

《庄子·天下》在中国古代学术史上的意义久被学者们所认识,但诸如:《庄子.天下》对道术体性的真正期望何在?其在论列旧法世传之史、邹鲁六经及百家之学时,其背后的学术内涵是什么?其对百家之学究竟是肯定还是否定?原因何在?所有这一切最终对中国古代学术文化有何等影响?这些问题至今似仍罕为学者所尽数参透,因而有必要再予诠衡论析,考订评量。但其中最为重要的是,中国古代政教制度实践对社会文化的辐射、影响之大,必须予以充分关注。

试论中国避讳学史的历史分期

避讳学是一门研究避讳现象发生发展的一般规律及其应用的边缘学科,历史悠久、文献丰富、成就巨大是我国避讳学研究的最显著特点。伴随一部避讳史,也有一部中国避讳学史。中国避讳学史可分为四个时期:一是避讳史料学时期——先秦至明代,二是避讳学的萌芽期——清代,三是避讳学的形成期——近代,四是避讳学的发展期——现代。     

A Social and Historical Perspective of the San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus

ABSTRACT

This study sought to understand the various roles music played for gay men who were members of the San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus, the world's first gay men's chorus. Specifically, it answers the following questions: What is the demographic profile of the chorus members? How has the chorus shaped or reflected social issues; how has the chorus shaped or reflected political issues; how has the music evolved over time?; How was the chorus impacted by the HIV/AIDS epidemic? Historical information for this study was gathered through eight interviews of original and long-time choral members as well as the current artistic director. Interviews were conducted in San Francisco at the San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus office, and additional data were derived from programs of previous choral concerts, two questionnaires (Internalized Homophobia Scale and Gay Chorus Questionnaire), and observations of choral rehearsals and concerts. As a follow-up to a previous study documenting the formation of the chorus in 1978–1982, this study historically documents the chorus's evolution from 1983 through 2003, emphasizing the chorus's impact on social and political issues, the musicality of the chorus, and the impact of HIV/AIDS on the chorus.     

Was Abraham Lincoln Gay?

Scholars and historians are blind to Lincoln's same-sex inclinations in part because of a personal aversion to male homosexuality, but more importantly because they fail to perceive the vast differences between the sexual culture of antebellum America and that of our own time, especially in regard to male-male physical and emotional intimacy. This article brings those differences to light and sets Lincoln's life in the context of the sexual culture of his own time. This enables one to see that Lincoln's same-sex sexuality was not only unproblematic, but commonplace, if not typical, in his day. Revising the Myth of Lincoln in regard to his same-sex inclinations will have a positive effect on contemporary culture, especially on the education and socialization of young boys.

网络环境下的图书馆文献典藏——从民初笔记野史《乌蒙秘闻》说起

由于网络数字技术的冲击,大量久藏深闺的文献资料流布天下,偶有引起认识或研究的混乱。《乌蒙秘闻》一书是许指严在民初"反满"思想的影响下,为生计考虑,以清初滇东北改土归流为背景创作的一篇传奇小说,本不足信。但网络上却较常见,有称"中外名著"的,有称"重要资料"的,还出现了专门的词条,这就对当前承担公共服务的图书馆等部门提出了新的要求和任务。
