"西区"的开发与上海的摩登时代

法租界西区是上海租界最晚形成的一个区域,它的大规模开发,始于1914年《上海法租界推广条约》颁布以后.当时,上海恰好开始步入所谓的"摩登时代".上海迈向摩登和国际化的过程,也就是上海工商业大发展、社会财富骤增和再分配的过程.伴随这个过程,一个新的上流社会和一个比上流社会远为庞大的中产阶级加速形成、壮大,他们催生并主导了上海新的消费革命,表现在住宅方面,就是大批的豪华公寓和花园洋房的次第兴建.西区的定位和开发,契合了新富裕阶层的住宅消费需求和住宅消费浪潮,从而成为中外富人聚居的国际化社区,真正意义上的"富人的天堂".作为摩登时代的建筑遗存,西区的花园洋房群落如今已成为中国仅有、世界罕见的建筑风景.

Population Education in the United States

Abstract

With the increased societal awareness of environmental issues, social scientists have expanded their examination of environmentally related topics. One component of this expansion has been the generation and growth of social theory which has the human-environment relationship at its core. This study is a further test of one of these theories, the New Environmental Paradigm (NEP). Using survey data, the relationship of the NEP to knowledge of environmentally relevant issues is examined. The results show ecological worldview as measured by the NEP scale has an independent influence on net environmental knowledge of other sociodemographic characteristics.     

The desire to learn as a kind of love: gardening,cooking, and passion in outdoor education

‘Gardens for Bellies' [Haver til Maver] is an organic school gardens project at Krogerup farm in Northern Sealand, Denmark, which provides children with first-hand experiences in a natural, outdoor environment. The general intention of the project is to expand children's competences and their knowledge of nature, farming and food preparation. This article draws on a new evaluation of ‘Gardens for Bellies' based on qualitative as well as quantitative studies carried out by education researchers. The evaluation shows very positive learning benefits linked to experience and enjoyment. The outdoor learning programme and environment represents a unique addition to the national curriculum of the Danish state school system, providing the possibility of interdisciplinary and enjoyment-based learning. One of the main conclusions is that the pupils who participate in the ‘Gardens for Bellies' programme develop a desire to learn. A number of the competencies they develop relate directly to the subject of science, as well as other school subjects. Parents confirm the learning benefits and view ‘Gardens for Bellies' as a unique supplement to regular school teaching. The experience dimension and a certain communication of love together with the teachers' passion to show their passion for teaching on site provide one possible explanation as to why the desire to learn is stimulated among the pupils.

明江南的城市园林——以王世贞的散文为视角

在城市生活的动态关系中,文人的私家园林是个人的退隐之所,但同时也是角逐声望的展示对象。园林还是志同道合的士绅们的聚会之处。作为16世纪的文坛领袖之一,同时也作为江南著名的文人家族中的一个成员,王世贞既是一个园林的鉴赏家,也是阐述园林在社会和文化生活中的正确地位的代言人。     

Imperial Plots? Shugborough,Chinoiserie and Imperial Ideology in Eighteenth-Century British Gardens

This article examines the place of the Chinese House (c. 1748) at Shugborough, Staffordshire, within the context of the mid-eighteenth-century craze for chinoiserie architecture in British gardens, and within the longer history of Sino-British encounters more generally. Drawing on evidence from published and archival sources, it argues that the expression of imperial ideology manifest in the garden at Shugborough represents an exceptional case for the period, during which more nuanced and ambivalent attitudes towards Britain's expanding presence in Asia generally prevailed. Attention is drawn to the need to locate the specific social settings of art objects within their wider historical contexts.
