传统启蒙教材改编的成功尝试——李维臣《千家姓》序

《百家姓》为北宋初年钱塘一位老儒生所编,因其适应了在教育不普及情况下一些人希望认得姓名以满足最简单文字交往的需要,近一千年中成了启蒙教育中流传最广的教材之一。它只是用来认字,而没有传播文化与进行思想品德教育的功能,故记诵它毫无意义。明代初年重编的《皇明千家姓》和清代康熙年间所编《御制百家姓》探索用姓氏字联字成句表现一定的意思,但因旧本《百家姓》流传太广,终未能取代前者。今在旧的启蒙教材退出全国教育阵地大半个世纪之后重编《百家姓》,用常见姓氏字表现新的思想,传播文化知识,必能起到推陈出新、发挥传统启蒙教材积极因素的作用。     

李贺《帝子歌》主旨析探

在剖析诸家对《帝子歌》理解的基础上,从"帝子"、"九节菖蒲"及最后两句诗的解读为突破口,并与屈原《九歌》及李贺《湘妃》等进行对读认为,《帝子歌》展示的是一个凄美的爱情故事,其中寄托着李贺的仕宦不遇、人生悲凉之感。     

明代宗学设置时间考辨

关于明代宗学开始正式设置的时间,目前学术界看法不一,有“嘉靖九年六月说”、“嘉靖二十四年说”。通过考证认为,“嘉靖九年六月说”、“嘉靖二十四年说”皆无法成立。明代宗学的设置经历了一个过程,嘉靖初至嘉靖四十二三年是明代宗学设置的探讨阶段,嘉靖四十四年,明政府将设置宗学写入《宗藩条例》,以法规的形式同定下来,确立为国家制度,然至隆庆三年,这一制度才开始得到逐步落实。明代宗学于隆庆三年开始正式设置。     

命运的轮回：高端瓷器品牌的前世与今生

中国人最早发明了瓷器,在16—18世纪,中国瓷器是欧洲人心目中当之无愧的顶级奢侈品,备受追捧。1708年,中国瓷器的制造秘方被德国人破解后,欧洲人开始了自己的瓷器制造,涌现出众多优质陶瓷品牌,最终,使得中国陶瓷沦为质低价廉的大路货。但是,风水轮流转,近年来受金融危机的影响,不少欧洲高端瓷器制造商纷纷宣布申请破产保护,这是否意味着瓷器命运的轮回？     

Making the Muscular Briton

The subject of this article is ‘The Royal Readers’, a group of reading anthologies published in Britain by Thomas Nelson between 1872 and 1881 for use in elementary schools. The focus is not on their contribution to the teaching of reading but rather on how they functioned as the tools of an education system conceived primarily as an agent of socialisation. Using examples drawn directly from the texts, it is shown by what means the educators sought to transmit the ideology of imperialism and to define for working-class children – especially boys – a future role in Empire. The article concludes by speculating on the possible impact on pupils of the kind of reading experience offered by these materials.

Optimising implementation of reforms to better prevent and respond to child sexual abuse in institutions: Insights from public health,regulatory theory,and Australia’s Royal Commission

The Australian Royal Commission Into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse has identified multiple systemic failures to protect children in government and non-government organizations providing educational, religious, welfare, sporting, cultural, arts and recreational activities. Its recommendations for reform will aim to ensure organizations adopt more effective and ethical measures to prevent, identify and respond to child sexual abuse. However, apart from the question of what measures institutions should adopt, an under-explored question is how to implement and regulate those measures. Major challenges confronting reform include the diversity of organizations providing services to children; organizational resistance; and the need for effective oversight. Failure to adopt theoretically sound strategies to overcome implementation barriers will jeopardize reform and compromise reduction of institutional child sexual abuse. This article first explains the nature of the Royal Commission, and focuses on key findings from case studies and data analysis. It then analyzes public health theory and regulatory theory to present a novel analysis of theoretically justified approaches to the implementation of measures to prevent, identify and respond to CSA, while isolating challenges to implementation. The article reviews literature on challenges to reform and compliance, and on prevention of institutional CSA and situational crime prevention, to identify measures which have attracted emerging consensus as recommended practice. Finally, it applies its novel integration of regulatory theory and public health theory to the context of CSA in institutional contexts, to develop a theoretical basis for a model of implementation and regulation, and to indicate the nature and functions of a regulatory body for this context.     

论唐代旧士族的婚姻问题

到了唐代,随着旧士族政治、经济特权的丧失,其对婚姻的维护更为重视,在婚姻上保持了婚姻重门第及婚姻论财的习俗,并以此来纯化旧士族的门第,维持传统的社会声望。同时,由于种种原因,旧士族一反常态,冷淡\"国婚\",使其与皇室在婚姻关系上的矛盾激化。唐王朝通过三次官修谱牒和下诏禁止卖婚、禁止一定范围内的通婚等措施,试图打破旧士族的婚姻壁垒,建立起与官品秩序相一致的通婚秩序。
