Rethinking the Rural Idyll     

Jonathan Wild 《Cultural and Social History》2013,10(1):73-94

ABSTRACT

This article traces the profound social repercussions that resulted from the mass enlistment of British office workers into the armed forces during the First World War. Drawing heavily upon fictionalized autobiographies of the period, my study examines the various stages of the clerk's experience of the conflict and argues that the confidence gained during warfare by surviving office workers fundamentally shaped a more democratic postwar society. This change is evidenced, I argue, in the profile of the fictional clerk that emerges in British literature after 1918.  相似文献   

The state question in Chinese popular cultural studies     

Jing Wang 《Inter-Asia Cultural Studies》2013,14(1):35-52

Abstract

This note is an attempt to trace the change and continuity of leftist political policies, and to analyse why the Left generally, especially the Malay Left, has not been successful in Malaysian politics. It questions why the Malaysian Left was stafter the Second World War but slowly dissipated until it is almost crippled now. Other than examining the formation and the roles of the Malaysian Left and their struggles for independence, this note also sorts out the factors of the unsuccessful struggles to get wide Malay support for the Malay-dominated Malay Nationalist Party of Malaya (PKMM) and the Chinese-dominated Communist Party of Malaya (CPM).  相似文献   

The Byzantines and Saladin: Some Further Arguments     

Savvas Neocleous 《Al-Masaq: Islam & the Medieval Mediterranean》2013,25(2):204-221

This is the second of two articles by the same author arguing against the thesis that there was a conspiracy between the Byzantine emperors and Saladin, sultan of Egypt and Syria, against the crusader states and the Third Crusade in the 1180s. While the focus of the first article was primarily on the Latin sources, the present study shifts the focus to the Arabic primary material, hitherto largely neglected or inadequately treated by modern historians. Through a critical re-examination and re-interpretation of the Arabic sources, backed by the introduction and discussion of new Latin material when necessary, this article presents expanded arguments on the relations between the Byzantine Empire, the Sultanate of Konya and Saladin in the 1180s. The conclusions lend further support to the view that the Byzantine rulers and Saladin never concluded an alliance against the Latin settlers of Outremer and the Third Crusade.  相似文献   

The Cultural Attitudes Towards Cooperative Learning: What Proverbs Can Offer     

《Journal of Intercultural Communication Research》2013,42(4):416-434

ABSTRACT

Cooperative Learning (CL) is acclaimed for its effectiveness, but is not widely used, partly because the role of culture in its implementation is overlooked. To fill this gap and to introduce an alternative methodology for the study of culture, this interdisciplinary paper examines Iranian proverbs to see how Iranians' culture feels about group work and what psychosocial factors contribute to their attitudes. The findings suggest Iranians’ culture, notwithstanding its potentiality for cooperation, is relatively non-cooperative. This ambivalence was observed to originate culturally from distrust, egoism, antipathy towards reciprocal altruism, and diffusion of responsibility. These findings substantiate the functionality of this alternative methodology.  相似文献   

经验模式分解去斑和顶帽变换在舰船检测预处理中的应用     

艾加秋  齐向阳  刘凡  石力 《中国科学院研究生院学报》2010,27(4):517-522

提出了一种基于经验模式分解去斑和顶帽变换背景不均匀的预处理方法. 经验模式分解去斑算法先对图像每一列进行经验模式分解得到IMF函数,然后将原信号与第一、二模态相减得到初步处理图像,再对该图像每一行重复该操作从而得到去斑图像,该算法有效地去除斑点噪声;顶帽变换则有效地补偿了海浪带来的局部不均匀的背景亮度,提高了图像的信杂比,有利于目标的检测. 仿真结果证明了算法的有效性.  相似文献   

中国生态足迹的多尺度变化及驱动因素分析   总被引：3，自引：1，他引：2  

张学勤  陈成忠  林振山 《资源科学》2010,32(10):2003-2009

在基于生态足迹模型计算1953年-2007年中国人均生态足迹(Ecological Footprint,EF)数据基础上,采用经验模态分解(Empirical Mode Decomposition,EMD)方法研究发现,1953年-2007年中国人均EF存在明显的4.3a、10.8a两个波动周期和一个递增趋势。选取与中国人均EF变化高度相关的产业结构、能源消费、发电量、居民消费、城市化水平等7个指标,不同时间尺度下的驱动因素逐步回归分析发现,人均GDP、第二产业产值、重工业、原油消费、发电量、居民消费、城市化率7个因素是驱动其不同周期性变化和持续增长的主要因素。稳定经济增长,优化产业机构,降低原油消费,提高天然气、水电及可再生能源消费比重,提高电力利用效率,适当控制城镇化等是中国减少生态足迹、降低人类环境影响的有效措施。  相似文献   

"寻找虚无的上位概念"并不是我国体育概念研究的症结——与张军献博士商榷

国内外均存在一般意义上的体育概念,即sport(s).由于一般意义上的体育概念在我国并不是虚无的,所以"寻找虚无的上位概念"不是30年来我国体育概念研究的症结.  相似文献   

Eleventh- and Twelfth-Century Similarities in the Norman Influence,Contact and “Conquests” of Sicily,Southern Italy and England     

Melissa Sartore 《Al-Masaq: Islam & the Medieval Mediterranean》2013,25(2):184-203

The establishment of the so-called “Norman World” is a debated phenomenon. The influence of the Normans can be found throughout Europe in matters of politics, warfare, and cultural interaction. The empire established by the Normans from the tenth through the thirteenth centuries was based upon the fighting prowess and military might of a people led by notable men such as William the Conqueror and Robert Guiscard. The similarities and differences between the Norman conquests of the eleventh century reveal reciprocity in contact, influence, and exchange among Norman populations. Similarly, the autonomy and distinctness of Norman populations from England to the Mediterranean remained. This article explores the extent of Norman contact, areas of influence and methods of exchange during the most active Norman conquests of the Middle Ages.  相似文献
