While the role played by the Jesuits in the history of Sino-Western cultural exchange has been well researched, most studies have focused on the end of the Ming dynasty and beginning of the Qing, with research into the late imperial Qing and Republican eras being comparatively sparse. Focusing on a natural history museum founded in Shanghai by Fren...

In the field of the history of European natural sciences, scientific institutions, such as museums, which played a key decision-making role and performed multiple functions, have been largely explored. However, due to the lack of systematic archives, fewer studies have focused on the researchers sent by the museums to collect the specimens in vario...

本文以法國的中小學歷史教育為主題，在第一部分擇要地回顧其建制化的過程，第二部分聚焦於二戰後其所經歷的重要改革，包括課綱的改革、教學法的改革，和課程架構上的改革。第三部分則針對1990年代迄今，圍繞著歷史記憶等議題所引發的討論，尤其是針對國會陸續通過的「記憶法律」所引起的社會效應，以及對教育現場的衝擊。文末開放性的結尾希望促進思考：在歷史公共化的前景下，中小學校的歷史教育該如何重新定位的問題。 This article focuses on historical education in primary and secondary schools in France. The first part reviews the process of its institutionalization...

在针对科学技术等新知的生产、传播与制度化的历史研究中，许多研究者已经 注意到奠基型人物、学派、大学学院、研究机构，乃至于学会、实验室、期刊、教科书等 组织和媒介所扮演的角色，而对于博物馆(尤其是自然史博物馆)曾经发挥的作用， 专门研究却显得单薄许多。事实上，若要了解十九世纪欧洲科学的发展，对于"博物 馆式科学" (museological sciences) 这种知识类型的理解是相当重要的在中国，"博物馆式科学"也曾经出现在与西洋文化接触较多的租界中。若能对此加以深入考察将有助于我们了解中国近现代自然史研究的初期发展，尤其是生物学等学科尚未在大学建立时的状况。有鉴于此，本文即以1874 年设立于上海的亚洲文会博物院为对象，分析其发展过程、标本 制作技术和展示方法的引进，以及其欲传达的动物知识...

The Shanghai Museum, which was established by the primarily British and American expatriate-led North-China Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society in 1874 and continued to operate until 1952, had a major influence on the popularization of natural history knowledge in China. It contributed to training the first generation of Chinese taxidermists, many...

十九世紀初旅居廣州、澳門的英人社群曾在澳門設置一個小型博物館，這個存在僅五年、久遭遺忘的博物館晚近在國際學界受到注意，但現有研究並未充分說明此博物館為何會在該時機點出現在該地，也未說明此博物館的基本特徵和意義。憑藉當時報刊文章、日記、遊記、書信中的零星資料，本文嘗試建立該博物館的基本人事時地物資訊，並進一步探索此個案所透露的歷史意義。 由於孟加拉亞洲學會及其附屬博物館是這個澳門博物館推動者的主要參照對象，當時正逐漸形成的亞洲學會網絡因此是幫助我們瞭解此博物館的第一層脈絡。又由於博物館展品有許多屬於自然史類標本，當時英、印、中之間所形成的自然史資訊與物質的流通網絡遂為本文所強調的第二層脈絡。尤其是以加爾各答植物園為中心所構成的植物與種子交換網絡，亦可見到與澳門博物館有關的人員之參與。藉由梳理廣...

In the early nineteenth century, British expatriates living in Canton and Macau established a small museum in Macau. Having existed for only five years from 1829 to 1834, the museum was all but forgotten until recent international academic studies revived interest in the institution. However, existing research does not fully explain why this museum...

Studies on histories of anthropology usually focus more on the theories of important schools of thought or on the works of famous anthropologists, and less on the institutions, organizations and norms of practice related to the development of this discipline. These, however, are fundamental aspects in the process of the institutionalization of a di...
