Contested Heritage In The Ancient City Of Peace, William Feighery

William Feighery

论文摘要 作为中国古代十三朝都城，西安（古称长安）蕴藏着中国最重要历史时期的丰富遗产，是世界主要考古中心之一。由于其在政治历史遗产方面的优势地位，西安一直立于文化遗产研究争鸣的前沿，有关其在二十一世纪中国发展进程中的地位和影响亦为热点论题。当前，西安正面临着来自全球化、城市化和国内外旅游者三方面的影响。在近几十年，尤其是随着本世纪初一项复兴“唐皇城”宏伟计划的出台及逐步实施，西安市人口密集的老城区逐渐成为关注和讨论的焦点。这篇论文就此项 “唐皇城复兴规划”将对西安老城区历史文化遗产带来的影响进行了讨论，还着力分析了该规划对老城内穆斯林社区回族居民的日常精神文化生活可能产生的冲击。这项规划将引发西安城市面貌和社会结构的重要变化。与此同时，该规划的实施还将使西安遭遇来自两方面的挑战：一方面如何协调保护历史遗产与满足居民现实需求两者关系，另一方面如何把现有老城区改造成以旅游业为主导的新型城市空间。

Dr Meg O'Reilly

The processes of assessment have begun to take pride of place in considerations of online teaching and learning. As the technological means become more robust for bringing students together online, designs of various kinds of assessment tasks reflect greater reliance on the strategies of interaction, collaboration, cultural exchange and the use and creation of Web resources. Where students living in different countries study online, their sharing of culture and perspective and their development of communication skills can be considered as elements of global learning. Best practice in assessment of global learning outcomes is still emerging from action research, as described …
