中国东盟石油合作新领域及前景分析

石油是当今世界最重要的能源,在未来很长的时期内,石油在全球能源消费结构中仍将保持较高比重,中国与东盟经济的高速增长将越来越依赖于石油供给。面对有限的石油储量及剧烈的国际原油价格,中国与东盟在石油领域的合作将越来越广泛,在传统合作领域基础上将出现一些新的领域,包括石油设备贸易,油路安全合作,共同开发石油。但是在看到双方广阔合作前景的同时不能忽视石油产量下降,需求增长等方面存在的困难,本文在文章的最后也提出了应对困难的相关对策。     

Field Work in the Classroom

To make sense of spatial data, information and concepts strong geographic literacy skills are a prerequisite, yet existing studies suggest a global decline in these skills. Current geographic tools predominantly focus on mapping tasks that do not necessarily lead to an understanding of the broader geographic relevance of location. This article argues that in order to improve geographic literacy exercises should test an understanding of location and employ techniques to correct deficiencies. To support this argument this study offers evidence on the effectiveness of online quizzes in improving geographic literacy skills of first-year undergraduate geography students.     

库姆塔格沙漠春季近地面风场、温度场特征

 利用中尺度区域预报模式系统对库姆塔格沙漠及其周边地区春季近地层风场与温度场分布特征进行了模拟和分析。结果发现,受青藏高原地形影响,偏北气流向南运行在途经库姆塔格沙漠的过程中发生3个分支:①在沙漠东部气流逐渐转变为西北风吹向甘肃省;②中西部气流以较强的东北风流向塔克拉玛干沙漠;③另一部分气流继续顺势南下流入青海省。沙漠区域温度从北向南逐渐降低,在青海省的边界上出现一个低温带,然后温度又开始增加。     

Field Work in the Elementary School

Abstract

This research examines the effects of culture on a child's perceptions of his or her neighborhood by comparing the neighborhood sketch maps of a group of Amish and non-Amish children from the same rural Pennsylvania neighborhood. The results of this study lend credence to the belief that early and intensive acculturation helps define our sense of “neighborhood” very early in life. There are possible applications to multicultural education in this study. As we discover what is important to students from other subcultures and backgrounds, we can customize our instruction to make it more meaningful and effective.     

Research Associates and the Production of Knowledge in the Field

This article introduces an important, but overlooked, actor—the research associate—into methodological discussions about the production of knowledge. We use the term research associate (rather than assistant) to encompass the individuals on whom researchers rely while conducting fieldwork. We seek to avoid the unidirectional hierarchy and power dynamics between researchers and associates, which place the researcher as expert and knowledge producer while obscuring the diversity of roles conducted by field associates. Therefore, throughout this article we examine and destabilize power dynamics and hierarchies and widen the range of what is considered research assistance in the coproduction of knowledge. We also highlight the ways in which geopolitics are written into encounters with ourselves and research associates, encounters that render and reveal the complexities of vulnerability and bodily risk in fieldwork. The goals of this article are threefold: to (1) introduce the influential role of research associates during the production and dissemination of knowledge, (2) situate the work of research associates in both fieldwork and methodological literature, and (3) problematize the invisibility of research associates in academic publications and discuss possible alternatives to how authorship is credited.     

Playing the Field: Questions of Fieldwork in Geography

Many questions-practical, strategic, political, ethical, personal-are raised by conducting field research. Some of these seem, or are constituted as, separate from the “research itself,” yet are integral to it. In this paper I attempt to cut through the breach that divides the doing of fieldwork and the fieldwork itself by addressing what constitutes the “field,” what constitutes a field researcher, and what constitutes data under contemporary conditions of globalization. Drawing on my work in New York City and Sudan, I argue that by interrogating the multiple positionings of intellectuals and the means by which knowledge is produced and exchanged, field researchers and those with whom they work can find common ground to construct a politics of engagement that does not compartmentalize social actors along solitary axes.     

The Racialization of Difference: Enlarging the Story Field

In this article, I explore ways of loosening the interpretive grid of “race” in critical geographical analysis without obscuring that concept's efficacy as a social force. In recent years, social constructivist perspectives on race have brought much evidence to bear on the logics of race/power formations in America and other British settler societies. The risk of petrifying “race” in the analysis of social life and reinscribing the very power that antiracists wish to undo has, however, prompted efforts to reframe the geographical study of race and racism. This article takes up that challenge by exploring an alternative modality of representational power that can be tracked to figurations of humanity and animality in Western cultural process. Such discursive formations take us some way toward understanding the norms and interiorised anxieties out of which racialized whiteness and its subjugated others were, and continue to be, constructed.
