李貞徳 著大原 良通 訳,《中国儒教社会に挑んだ女性たち》(東京:大修館書店2009)。

【簡介 】李貞徳先生『公主之死』の訳本です。
台湾で『公主之死』を探したこともありましたが、探しきれず帰国したことを思い出しましたが、まさか訳本が出ていたとは。。。
まだ熟読していないですが、ぱらぱらと見たところ面白そうです。
日本語で読める中国女性史の本は少ないので、珍しいとは思います。
中国女性史に関しては大陸より台湾のほうが盛んで、関連する著作がばんばん出ていて、自分は追いついていけない感があります…がんばります。
李先生は近年医学の面から見る中国女性史にも挑戦されており、『女人的中国医療史』という本も出版されています。 . .......全文

Spies!: Women in the Civil War


Girls: A History of Growing Up Female in America


Penny's books are rich with compelling visual images. She does her own picture research
and takes photographs for many of her books. Here are four images from Girls: A History of Growing
Up Female in America
(from left to right): First, she drove to Carmel, New York, to
photograph the statute of Sybil Ludington, a Revolutionary War hero, by the renown
sculptor Anna Hyatt Huntington, (p. 55). From her archives, she included an excerpt from a travel
journal kept by fourteen-year-old Linda Hickson during her first road trip from Massachusetts to
Florida in 1956 (p. 163). The next picture is Penny at the age of 4 in 1949 dressed in a
Moravian outfit, except for the socks and shoes, (p. 159). Then there is a picture
of her sister, Cam, who grew up during the 1960s (p. 171).
Girls has 131 images.

2005作者寫的了一本跟社會史有關的書Corpses, Coffins, and Crypts: A History of Burial, the Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA) 選為21世紀好書中最好的前一百名。

Penny's books are rich with compelling visual images. She does her own picture research and takes
photographs for many of her books. Here are four images from Corpses, Coffins, and Crypts: A History of Burial (from left to right): During one of her many cemetery excursions, she photographed the figure carved from white marble that lies flat on the grave of D. G. Haring Doremus, who drowned on August 5, 1881, at the age of eight (the cover image). Another time, she photographed a grave with Thanksgiving and Christmas decorations, (p. 10). Then on an icy, cold day, she discovered a grave marker with an attention-getting epitaph (p. 184). She photographed members of her family at the burial of the cremated remains of her great-uncle Willi Matousek in Korycany, Czech, Republic (p. 139).Corpse, Coffins, and Crypts has 130 images.

思考主題方向集錦

以下來自"robable Spam] H-ASIA: CFP Interdisc. Graduate Conf, Middle East, South Asia & Africa, Columbia University, April 2010"建議思考方向的內容:

Exchange

Where can exchange take place? Are ideas, practices and texts like commodities? Is a relationship of exchange necessarily symbiotic or can one side really take without giving or give without taking?

Circulation

How do ideas and cultural practices move? How do repetitive movements of groups, for example, religious pilgrims, shape consciousness?

How have the Indian Ocean and overland caravan routes linked Africa, the Middle East and South Asia?

Borders and Frontiers

What forms can a border take besides the modern political boundary? Is there a frontier mindset on every border?
