People's media and communication rights in Indonesia and the Philippines1

This article attempts to investigate the emerging people's media in relation to the development of communication rights in Indonesia and the Philippines. The thrust is to focus on how the Indonesian and Philippine press acquiesced to political and economic control by the governments of the dictatorial regime of President Soeharta and President Marcos. On the other contrary, we look at how people felt that communication rights are their basic rights and that freedom of thought and freedom of speech are essential for democratic rule. Their resistant to violence, imprisonment and murder carried out by state functionaries have brought new forms of media. These are people's media or radical and citizen media which empower as well as transform ‘passive citizens’ into ‘political actors’.     

An Examination of Media Usage among French-Muslims

Media help in the formation of identity. For ethnic communities, ethnic media can play a dual role, aiding in the acculturation process and assisting in holding onto ethnic identities. This study examines media and identity negotiation. Specifically, this study analyzes differences in media usage among French-Muslims. The principal researcher interviewed 42 first and second generation French-Muslims to explore their media usage and the relationships between their media usage and ethnic identification. Analysis uncovered two key findings. First, second-generation French-Muslims prefer to use ethnic media more than French produced media as a form of protest against French assimilationist policies. Second, abandoning ethnic media is equated with becoming French, which is something first and second generation French-Muslims resist.     

“Fear God; Fear the Bogaze”: The Nile Mouths and the Navigational Landscape of the Medieval Nile Delta,Egypt

By the fourth/tenth century, Egypt's Nile Delta had just two major Delta branches debouching directly into the Mediterranean – the Dumyā? (Damietta) and Rashīd (Rosetta). Navigational conditions at these branches’ mouths were treacherous because of a combination of currents, winds, wave-fields and shifting sandbanks. These conditions were a danger to shipping, and so had a formative effect on the navigational landscape of the Delta. Despite its remoteness from the Nile, Alexandria remained Egypt's chief Mediterranean port, but only because river connections were maintained that avoided the Rashīd mouth. In contrast, the port of Rashīd was relatively insignificant. Similar conditions at the Dumyā? mouth prompted navigators to adopt routes via Lake Tinnīs, modern Lake Manzala, which linked to the sea through its calmer sea mouths. This article brings together material from multiple disciplines to offer a new understanding of the navigational context of Egypt's medieval Mediterranean ports.     

Surveying the Aspect of the Medieval West Anatolian Town

The aim of this short article is modest: it means to fill a lacuna in scholarly output by offering a concise and accessible survey of the physical structure of the typical west Anatolian town in the High Middle Ages. Attempts to locate such a study meet with disappointment. If one wishes to look through the eyes of medieval travellers in Anatolia, whether they be merchants, pilgrims or soldiers, and discover what type of construction they witnessed when approaching and entering a typical town, one is compelled to trawl through a great number of specialist articles and monographs dealing with specific archaeological sites or particular narrow periods of history. This laborious exercise will be made somewhat redundant by a brief synthesis of the appropriate evidence which historians and archaeologists have addressed and compiled since the late 1950s when attempting to reconstruct the development of the Byzantine city. The article traces the slow development of the typical Anatolian urban form and aspect from the late fourth century, through the mid-seventh to mid-eighth centuries, and then through to a period of urban recovery until the latter part of the twelfth century. The choice of periods separated by some 800 years is not arbitrary: the physical character (and function) of the typical town began to change in the late fourth century, and the form it obtained during the seventh and eighth centuries continued to be the one retained (with inconsequential variations to the general pattern) during the intermediate periods of Byzantine recovery     

集中连片特困地区贫困发生率的空间特征*--基于3D框架对武陵山片区的个案分析

扶持集中连片特殊困难地区脱贫致富是中国新一轮减贫的重点,片区扶贫是把片区作为主战场,以片区的形式组织扶贫开发。选取武陵山片区有代表性的41个县为样本,采用中国农村贫困监测报告的相关数据,基于密度、距离和整合的3D框架分析县域贫困发生率的影响因素,结果表明：与经济中心距离越远、基于面积的经济密度越高、扶贫资金越多的县,贫困发生率越高,反映出经济发展与扶贫工作不同步、偏远地区经济增长动力不足以及扶贫资金使用效率和扶贫精准度有待提高等问题。因此,应转变发展方式,实现县域经济密度和减贫绩效“双赢”;加快基础设施建设,缩小偏远地区与中心城市的经济距离;建立和完善精准扶贫、协作扶贫机制,提高扶贫资金使用效率。     

美国大学生资助政策及对我国的启示

论宋代尚祥之风

宋时上自皇帝,下至普通百姓普遍崇尚祥瑞,这种风气的形成有着特殊的社会根源.尚祥之风对宋时政治、经济、社会乃至军事都产生了较为深刻的影响.其中,"天书事件"将对祥瑞的崇奉推向了顶峰.近年来,宋史研究取得了较丰富的成果,但在宋代神秘文化方面的研究一直较为薄弱,除少数几个学者在宋代巫术、占卜方面有所论述外,其他内容少有涉猎.
