从目录学到书志学——20世纪前期目录学在日本的研究与发展

目录学和Bibliography分别是中西方研究图书的学问,这两门学问本来相互独立、自成体系,因在日本发生了交汇,而产生了一门新的学问——书志学。书志学不仅在日本日渐发达,而且在20世纪二三十年代还被输送到中国,引起了一定反响。本文通过系统梳理20世纪前期日本书志学著述,揭示中国目录学对日本书志学的深刻影响、书志学研究的主要成果和发展状况,指出在20世纪前期书志学不仅在理论上取得丰硕成果,而且作为方法论在实践中也得到广泛应用和发展。随着书志学研究范围的扩大,以长泽规矩也为代表的日本图书馆界决定以图书学取代书志学作为这门学问的名称。尽管书志学的概念式微了,但书志学的研究成果就像目录学的研究成果一样不会过时,作为一门后发的学问,它所具有的起点高、眼界宽的特点,更值得中国目录学研究者借鉴。表1。参考文献26。

Bibliography:

Before the information explosion caused the rise of serials as a phenomenon in libraries, serials were often seen from a reference point of view, causing there to be little dynamic interchange between the concepts of "serials" and "reference." More recently, because of the rise in serials consciousness due to the number and bibliographic complexity of serials, reference work has been often seen from a serials viewpoint, causing a polarization and active interaction between the concepts "reference" and "serials." Several articles and book selections concerning the relationship between serials and reference and covering the 10 year period between 1976 and 1987 are here annotated. Each annotation summarizes the argument of the article covered and relates it to the arguments of other articles covered, and to the arguments of the main essay.

古典目录学研究的新境界——徐有富教授《目录学与学术史》评介

徐有富教授的目录学新著《目录学与学术史》一书的出版将古典目录学的研究推到了一个新的境界。理论上,该书作者对历代目录所构成的通代学术史性质有着清醒的认识,认为“中国历代目录实际上就是中国学术史的缩影”。方法上,有两点值得注意：其一,精心选择富有代表性的目录著作进行目录学研究与宏观的学术史建构;其二,紧紧抓住目录本身的要素特点,精心设计研究论题,进行目录学与学术史的研究工作。成效上,表现为学术史研究内容的丰富与扩大。该书不可避免地存在着一些不足之处。参考文献12。

The 25th Amendment: A Selective Annotated Bibliography

This selective bibliography is intended to assist legal researchers in researching the 25th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.¹1 U.S. Const. amend. XXV; see generally, Congressional Research Service, Library of Congress, Constitution of the United States of America 484 (presidential disability and inability), 2295–2296 (presidential succession issues and the 20th Amendment); and 2317–2319 (issues of presidential inability and disability (Centennial ed. 2017). In addition to Article II, Clause 6, and the Presidential Succession Act of 1947,²2 Presidential Succession Act of 1947, Pub. L. No. 80???199, 61 Stat. 380, as amended (codified at 3?U.S.C. § 19 (2012)). the 25th Amendment is part of the fundamental law governing presidential succession in the United States. This bibliography compiles books, book chapters, and law review articles to facilitate legal research in this area.³3 U.S. Const. art. II, § 6. For a detailed account of the presidential succession issue, see Ruth Silva, Presidential Succession (U. Michigan Press 1951).

When ratified in 1967, the 25th Amendment culminated nearly 175 years of Congressional effort to resolve Constitutional vagueness on certain procedure involving the temporary or permanent incapacitation of the president. While the 25th amendment did not fundamentally change the constitutional procedure of presidential succession, it did significantly clarify areas of uncertainty with the purpose of complying with the apparent intentions of the Framers of the Constitution on presidential succession.⁴4 U.S. Const. art. II, § 6. For a detailed account of the presidential succession issue, see Ruth Silva, Presidential Succession (U. Michigan Press 1951).

Since Donald Trump became president in January 2017, there has been an ongoing public debate over his provocative rhetoric and actions, and his reportedly dysfunctional presidency. In 2017, for example, questions arose about his emotional stability when he apparently tweeted threatening language involving nuclear weapons in response to statements made by Kim Jong-un, the leader of North Korea.⁵5 Peter Baker &; Michael Tackett, Trump’s North Korea Retort: My “Nuclear Button” Is Bigger Than Yours, N.Y. Times A10 (Jan. 3, 2018).

In addition, significant concerns arose after an anonymous letter to the editor appeared in the New York Times, allegedly sent by a high-ranking administration official, stating he or she was part part of the “resistance” within the White House, which was attempting to block some of President Trump’s allegedly more dangerous actions. The author reported that there was a group of similarly situated White House officials who believe that the president was unfit for office and that there was an effort to remove Trump under the Section 4 of the 25th Amendment.⁶6 Anonymous, Letter to the Editor, The Quiet Resistance Inside the Trump Administration, N.Y. Times 23 (Sept. 6, 2018). More recently, former FBI Director Andrew McCabe revealed that Justice Department officials had sought to discuss the possibility of invoking the 25th Amendment with cabinet officials.

Because of the critical importance of the issues involved for the nation today, this article includes sources discussing when the 25th Amendment can be invoked and whether Donald Trump’s pattern of statements and behavior could give cause to invoke the 25th Amendment. As current events suggest, the issue of whether Trump should be removed under the 25th Amendment is likely to remain an issue of public concern for the foreseeable future.
