浅析《喜马拉雅王子》的后现代主义特色

《哈姆雷特》于1962年问世,被公认为莎翁的四大悲剧之一。随着时代的变迁,消费成了新的艺术特征,《哈姆雷特》被多次改编搬上荧屏,在被改编39次之后,胡雪桦带着浓厚的"哈姆雷特"情节,将西藏王子的"复仇"之路转化为"救赎"之路。《喜马拉雅王子》站在东方文化的视角上,拨去雪域高原的神秘面纱,让观众看到了一个全新的藏族王子;它融合了高雅与低俗文化,做到了雅俗共赏。本文试从主题、场景、藏风三个层次解读《喜》剧的后现代主义特色,阐释精英文化如何从边缘回归中心,适应大众的口味。     

Climbing Beyond the Summits: Social and Global Aspects of Women's Expeditions in the Himalayas

This article investigates the conditions and circumstances that led to the emergence of Nepalese women's mountaineering. It draws a comparison and shows parallels with the development of Western female mountaineering. The special focus here is on so-called ‘women's expeditions’ in the Himalayas. In the last 20 years, these expeditions have played an important role for Nepalese women in gaining access to high-altitude climbing. An overview of the historical developments from the 1950s to the present illustrates the transnational and global involvement of high-altitude mountaineering in Nepal, as well as the impact of political and social programmes to foster gender equality and diversity.     

《山海经》地貌应属的年代

虽然《山海经》记载的地理状况与中国现代的地貌相差很远,但作者从地质学的角度去考虑,认为它并非错误的地理记录。按照经文里所提供的数据,把东海、西海和北海的相对位置计算出,并与远古各年代的亚洲地貌比较,发现此经所记载的状况,符合印支运动与燕山运动之间,尤其是晚侏罗世时的亚洲地貌。经文里的西海该是特提斯海,而北海应该是覆盖了从贝加尔湖至北冰洋整个地区的北方海。作者希望地理学家们能谨严看待这研究结果,并对《山海经》重新评估及作进一步的研究。     

Wrestling amid perplexity,committing amid unease: a critical introduction of Intellectual Inquiry

Abstract

While the concept of the ‘tourist gaze’ has been influential in tourism research, the ‘counter‐gaze’ of the host communities and their imagination of the tourists’ places of origin have not been adequately addressed. Based on fieldwork conducted in the Langtang National Park of Nepal, and drawing on Simmel’s theory of sociation, this paper attempts a simultaneous analysis of the shifting images the visitors and hosts have of each other and how these images shape their experiences of tourism, and argues that a constant shifting of subjectivity between ‘reverie’ and ‘emplacement’ characterises the structure of tourism encounters.     

中喜马拉雅山区土地利用的空间分布特征

基于Google Earth卫星地图,采集中喜马拉雅4条典型高山峡谷带遥感影像,利用ArcGIS空间分析技术,按山地垂直带的5级海拔指标和青藏高原土地种的4级坡度指标,分析研究区耕地和草地空间分布特征。研究结果表明：①海拔2200m以下无耕地,坡度影响强烈,海拔2500～3800m的宜农坡度带（〈5°、5～15°）,是耕地利用方式、程度和潜力的核心区域;②草地优势海拔为38004800m,坡度影响较弱,4个谷地在宜牧坡度带（〈5°、5～15°、15～35°）的草地数量差异性小;③横向比较发现,吉隆谷地可利用土地最多,其次为朋曲谷地、波曲谷地、绒辖谷地,但受海拔和坡度限制,不宜农、牧坡度带也有不同程度的农业生产活动,极不利于生态环境保护和土地资源合理利用。研究结果具有代表性地反映了中喜马拉雅山区土地利用现状和结构,对探索区域资源-环境-社会发展关系具有重要意义     

Rapid drift of the Tethyan Himalaya terrane before two-stage India-Asia collision

The India-Asia collision is an outstanding smoking gun in the study of continental collision dynamics. How and when the continental collision occurred remains a long-standing controversy. Here we present two new paleomagnetic data sets from rocks deposited on the distal part of the Indian passive margin, which indicate that the Tethyan Himalaya terrane was situated at a paleolatitude of ∼19.4°S at ∼75 Ma and moved rapidly northward to reach a paleolatitude of ∼13.7°N at ∼61 Ma. This implies that the Tethyan Himalaya terrane rifted from India after ∼75 Ma, generating the North India Sea. We document a new two-stage continental collision, first at ∼61 Ma between the Lhasa and Tethyan Himalaya terranes, and subsequently at ∼53−48 Ma between the Tethyan Himalaya terrane and India, diachronously closing the North India Sea from west to east. Our scenario matches the history of India-Asia convergence rates and reconciles multiple lines of geologic evidence for the collision.     

Why ‘the uplift of the Tibetan Plateau’ is a myth

The often-used phrase ‘the uplift of the Tibetan Plateau’ implies a flat-surfaced Tibet rose as a coherent entity, and that uplift was driven entirely by the collision and northward movement of India. Here, we argue that these are misconceptions derived in large part from simplistic geodynamic and climate modeling, as well as proxy misinterpretation. The growth of Tibet was a complex process involving mostly Mesozoic collisions of several Gondwanan terranes with Asia, thickening the crust and generating complex relief before the arrival of India. In this review, Earth system modeling, paleoaltimetry proxies and fossil finds contribute to a new synthetic view of the topographic evolution of Tibet. A notable feature overlooked in previous models of plateau formation was the persistence through much of the Cenozoic of a wide east–west orientated deep central valley, and the formation of a plateau occurred only in the late Neogene through compression and internal sedimentation.
