传注之学与文化传统

所谓传注之学是指传注经典的治学态度与治学途径。中国古代思想家们多通过注解、阐述传统经典的方式书立说。从先秦开始，尤其秦汉以后，思想家们代表性的作多为经传或经注，一部经典往往被不同时期、不同学一再注解，甚至注上作注，谓之义疏，注疏本太多，自然又有了集注、集解之类的书。传统经典成了学术史上取之不尽、用之不竭的源泉。因为学术活动几乎成了注解和阐述经典的功夫，以至长期形成了经学与其他学科纠缠难分的现象。这一特点的形成有中国化传统的特殊背景，具体分析当有以下几方面原因。     

The Code of Food and Tradition: Exploring a Lebanese (American) Speech Code in Practice in Flatland

This study examines a recognizable speech code, the code of food and tradition, as displayed among members of a Lebanese community in Flatland, located in the central United States. Based upon in-depth interviews with 20 participants and three months of participant observation at a Lebanese food festival, we identify communication that is gendered, generationally shaped, and focused on tradition. These are manifest in both beliefs and everyday practices. Drawing upon Speech Codes Theory and Bakhtinian perspectives, we examine the communicative practices and beliefs as to what it means to “be Lebanese.”     

Music,Tradition, and Cultural Adaptation among the Maronites of Lebanon: The Reform of the Funeral Liturgy

The Maronite Church is a branch of the Syro-Antiochean Church and one of the oldest among the Eastern churches. Modernisation, globalisation, emigration, civil war and other factors have together influenced many aspects of local religious expression, but the Maronite Church has succeeded in adapting to the social changes and the spiritual needs of its followers without losing its identity. This is reflected in the Maronite funeral liturgy, which is here examined. I aim to show how the role of music and poetry is perpetuating a sense of communal identity among the members of this religious group, and is creating boundaries with other ethnic and religious groups.
