假期,我们去考察"女书"档案

<永州女书档案文献>作为湖南省江永县女书文化的历史记录,已于2002年被首批列入<中国档案文献遗产名录>. 江永女书类似甲骨文,纤细秀美的菱形字体,似篆非篆,秀丽而飘逸.女书用当地土语发音,坚持传女不传男,为历代女性专用.行文由上而下、自右而左,没有标点符号,不分段落,一书到底.女书记载着当地妇女们的家庭生活、社会交往等日常事务.江永女书作为一种举世罕见的性别文字体系和独特的古老文化,是目前世界上唯一存在的妇女文字,是一种濒临失传的珍贵档案文献遗产.     

“私密”的传达--女书的视觉语言

“女书”是一种独一无二的性别文字，它是由女性所创造的文字符号体系。女书的私密传达在一个私密的关系圈中交流和沟通，而这样的传达方式也是小众的。本文在此提出了：女书“私密”的传达一说，对于其传达中存在私密性的提出做了一些界定。女书的文字-女字，是属于她们小众圈子里的视觉传达符号，是私密传达的视觉符号。本文根据女书的视觉语言，分析女字其中的视觉元素和视觉的形式美，希望让这种深具生命力和感染力的视觉元素，在保护和传承的女书文化的基础上，纳入设计的范围，更好的传达其中的文化意义。

《四字女经》女书文字本惊现江华

古邑冯乘的江华瑶族自治县档案馆去年有幸将流传于江永、江华等地民间的珍贵的女书文字《四字女经》文字本收集入馆。全文84句，计664字，是不可多得的古籍。从此解决了《四字女经》一直只是口头流传但查不到文字依据的困惑。     

撩开《女书》神秘的面纱

从湖南永州沿潇水溯江而上,经它的支流消江进入江永县境。在消江之滨有块神奇的土地——上江圩。这里流传着一种奇特的文字;这种文字只限于妇女书写和识读,人们称之为“女书”。《江永“女书”之谜》一书的出版,向人们介绍了这一文化现象。早在50年代就有人发现了“女书”,并对它进行了收集和研究。由于历史的原因,这项     

江永女书传承人制度探析

2006年江永县制定《"女书传人"评选管理办法(试行)》规定了女书代表性传承人的认定、培养标准。女书传承人的培养以现代教育体系下的学校教育和专门女书学堂教育培养为主,打破了女书习得者的原有地域、性别、社会群体范围。江永民间百姓也形成了一套自我认可女书传人的标准:"会说江永土话""会唱女歌""会写女书文字",其中"说土话"和"唱女歌"被认为是重要的女书技能。民间百姓的传承人认可标准为政府评选新的代表性传承人考核指标提供了参考。

“女书档案”的征集、保护与开发研究

女书的地域性和特有的教育传承方式、女书发源地的不合理开发以及部分外国学者的掠夺性研究导致流传于世的女书档案越来越少.为了保护好这一非物质文化遗产,需要在详细调查的基础上,进行抢救性的保护工作;通过征集现有的女书档案,将其纳入科学的保管条件下;在建立女书档案联合目录的基础上,开展女书档案的数字化工作,为各领域学者的研究提供共享信息;并对现有的开发方式进行批判性的思考.     

女性学科元理论的自足与综合--读《女性学概论》

近年来，女性学科元理论的研究逐渐走入人们的视野。１９９８年６月，北京大学中外妇女研究中心举办了“２１世纪女性问题与发展”国际研讨会，会上北京大学主旨发言人魏国英教授作了“试论女性学研究的对象及其范围”的发言。在此后的两年中，北京大学中外妇女研究中心的多位学者，经反复研讨、论证与切磋，结合各自的学术专长，合作编写了《女性学概论》一书。这本书作为新时期以来我国第一部系统的完整的女性学原理性著作，在女性学科建设发展的历史上具有重要的开创意义。 这本书坚持了学科建设的自足性与有机性的统一，全书从４个方面…     

British Writings on Romania: From Travel Accounts to Studies

This article surveys a sample of sources of the information about Romania available to British readers in nineteenth century British newspapers and periodicals. It traces first contacts between the Romanian lands and Britain after the union of the principalities of Wallachia and Moldavia in 1859, then after their independence from the Ottoman Empire. The article highlights an increased Romanian interest in British periodicals, which reported and reviewed Romanian literature and scholarship. The article concludes that nineteenth century British newspapers and periodicals offer a great variety and wealth of new material previously unavailable or unknown to researchers. It also states that only a portion of a large quantity of this material has been indexed and is therefore available via the bibliographic sources mentioned in the article. The author argues for the need of a new and updated British-Romanian bibliography, which can draw on new online resources offering access to thousands of new newspapers and periodical records.

Politicking for the Public Library

ABSTRACT

In today's current political environment raising support for millage renewals, bond campaigns or even millage continuations for public libraries is affected by national politics, and a tendency towards tax aversion on principle across the country. The lessons we can learn from the governing boards of small and rural public libraries are worth raising up to a greater national consciousness. Board governance, community consciousness, and facilities management are clear and logical tools that elected boards of public libraries can use to politick for support of libraries.     

Architectures of Knowledge and Literary Tradition: A History of the Almanac in Croatia

ABSTRACT

The history of the almanac in Croatia is reconstructed through primary research in bibliographic and archival sources. The almanac is a vehicle for knowledge communication in informal contexts, engaging both oral tradition and literary forms traceable to medieval literacy and ways of structuring knowledge. The history of the almanac in Croatia reflects the changing context of the book trade, literacy, and the evolution of language. Four main stages are identified: (1) the beginning of the annual almanac in the seventeenth century; astrological almanacs reflecting the sensibility of the Baroque period; (2) the Enlightenment's stimulation of almanac publishing in the spirit of contemporary secular reforms in agriculture and education; (3) nineteenth-and twentieth-century almanac trade, showing complex and overlapping networks for the production, distribution and appropriation of printed almanacs;(4) roughly the end of World War II, when the almanac slowly moved out of the role of a popular mass medium and into specialized niches represented by regional, diaspora, and religious almanacs.

Germany's New Culture of Welcome—Our Libraries are an Essential Part of it

ABSTRACT

German authorities are expecting more than 1 million refugees by the end of 2015. These people come to Germany to seek protection and assistance and to build a new life, therefore it is important to welcome them and to assist them in their integration as soon as possible. This situation creates a versatile and perfectly fitting opportunity for cultural and educational programs, including libraries, which can play a vital role in this integration process. The key to integration is the knowledge of the German language, and the most important challenge now is to teach the necessary language skills to as many asylum-seekers as possible.     

Syndicating Rich Bibliographic Metadata Using MODS and RSS

Abstract

Many libraries use RSS to syndicate information about their collections to users. A survey of 65 academic libraries revealed their most common use for RSS is to disseminate information about library holdings, such as lists of new acquisitions. Even though typical RSS feeds are ill suited to the task of carrying rich bibliographic metadata, great potential exists for developing applications that can exploit metadata exposed to Web services via RSS. Using the MODS metadata format, entire catalog records can be seamlessly embedded in RSS 2.0 feeds. Existing tools, such as Library of Congress Java toolkits and XSLT stylesheets, can facilitate this process, while a new XSLT stylesheet may be used to create the RSS feeds complete with MODS records. As an example of the added functionality these MODS/RSS feeds can offer, records from a MODS-enriched RSS feed can be ingested into a non-RSS application such as Zotero. As more emerging library technologies use Web services architectures to handle data objects, the ability to syndicate catalog records will become more critical to providing innovative library Web services.     

Selling Women on PDAs from “Simply Palm” to “Audrey”: How Moore's Law Met Parkinson's Law in the Kitchen

This essay investigates key moments in the history of personal digital assistant (PDA) marketing to women. Analyzing promotional texts for three PDAs that received considerable press coverage from 1999 to 2001, this essay explores the cultural significance of the convergence of anxieties about women's place in the gendered division of labor with the computer industry's changing marketing imperatives. Drawing on an array of promotional texts, including news articles, press releases, promotional Web sites, and ads appearing in newspapers and magazines, this paper tells the story of how the computer industry aimed to sell smaller, faster computing devices to women while promising to mediate and thus reproduce women's overwork as paid and familial laborers. After experimenting with the PDA as a sexy fashionable gadget for working women, marketers approached women as mothers with “Audrey,” an Internet appliance designed for the kitchen.
