Developing of rural settlement landscape gene research system based on content analysis

ABSTRACT Based on the issue of how to preserve vernacular landscape characters in the process of rural development, an innovative research system for identifying the extrinsic characters and the intrinsic value of village landscapes was developed through content analysis. Landscape genes are values, knowledge, cultural practices, and modes of thought implicit in the rural landscapes. The village landscape gene research system includes three aspects: landscape element and trait research, landscape composition regularity research, and landscape genes research; as well as two stages: extracting landscape genes and exploring the adaptability of landscape genes. Afterwards, through the content extraction and statistical analysis of 182 theses, 71 descriptive indices for landscape gene research were selected from the scales of rural environment, internal space of the village and vernacular architecture respectively. A comparative map of the landscape element traits and composition regularities of the two traditional villages, Wuli village and Baya Middle village, was drawn based on the index system. The research framework developed in this study has great significance for recommending rural development and management policies as well as enhancing the identification and belonging of local communities, especially for ethnic minority people.

Changing Land Use and Water Management in a Ladakhi Village of Northern India

Abstract Focusing on agro-pastoralism and the change in farmland use by the highlanders in Ladakh, Domkhar valley in lower Ladakh was selected as the research site. Domkhar valley has a total population of 1,269 people and 193 households and is divided into three villages based on their locations: Domkhar Do (lower village, 3,000 to 3,100 meters altitude), Domkhar Barma (middle village, 3,400 to 3,500 meters altitude), and Domkhar Gonma (upper village, 3,600 to 4,000 meters altitude). There is a hamlet called Kuramric at the highest point of the upper village at 4,100 meters. The villagers release their livestock in the pastures in the U-shaped valley located above Kuramric. Barley is the main crop cultivated in all three villages. Wheat can be cultivated in the lower and middle villages, but not in the upper village. We created a list of households in the three villages in Domkhar valley before conducting interviews. We then created a map showing irrigation canals, the land ownership and usage of each household from the GeoEye-1 satellite images taken in September and November 2010. We elucidated the change in land use and water management based on this map of irrigation canals, land ownership and usage along with the interviews and on-site observations. For more than 30 years, Ladakhi people has been receiving government rations of cheap flour, rice, sugar, and petroleum in Ladakh where the Sino-Indian Border Conflict and the Indo-Pakistani War were fought. For this reason, their staple food has switched from barley to the rationed flour. The change in the livelihood of agro-pastoralism has brought about changes in the land use, but even in this case, the temperature constraint from the difference in altitude remains a major defining factor in the selection and introduction of cash crops.

Landscape pattern and sustainability of a 1300-year-old agricultural landscape in subtropical mountain areas, Southwestern China

The Hani terrace landscape located in the mountainous areas of Southwestern China has a history of 1300 years and is a classic example of human–environment harmony. This study investigates the spatial distribution and pattern characteristics of land cover in the landscape using geographical information system and remote-sensing techniques. With the synthetic consideration of both physical and cultural factors, the ecological stability of the landscape was discussed. The results showed that ‘terrace’ and ‘forest’ are dominant in the landscape accounting for 43.80% and 44.90% of the total area, respectively. A clear vertical land-cover distribution of ‘higher forest–middle village–lower terrace–lowest river’ can be found on steep slopes. The local climate and its variation with elevation are essential for the stable local water cycle, and the spatial layout of the landscape elements allows for effective material and energy flow within the landscape. Moreover, the obligatory forest and water resource conservation due to the unique history and culture of Hani adds a social layer of protection. The sustainable development of the Hani landscape is expected to provide valuable insights for the present land and environmental management.

Review of National Literatures: Selected Essays (1970–2001): Emergent and Neglected National Literatures (review)

Reviewed by: Review of National Literatures: Selected Essays (1970–2001): Emergent and Neglected National Literatures Ben McFry Anne Paolucci, ed., Review of National Literatures: Selected Essays (1970–2001): Emergent and Neglected National Literatures. Middle Village: Griffon House Publications, 2007, 360 pp. Review of National Literatures: Selected Essays (1970–2001): Emergent and Neglected National Literatures is the second of three collections of essays culled from the pages of Review of National Literatures, the journal of the Council on National Literatures published from 1970–2001. During its thirty-one year publication, rnl offered readers essentially two types of essays: overviews of literatures normally excluded from the Western canon and atypical approaches to the works and movements of the West, approaches which Anne Paolucci, the editor of the rnl journal and these collections, terms “multi-comparative.” The first volume in this series of three collections of essays, Review of National Literatures: Selected Essays (1970–2001), published in 2006, is a “sampler,” to use Paolucci’s term, of both types of perspectives and essays normally found in the rnl journal: Japanese translations of Shakespeare, the neglected literatures of Hungary, and the work of Justin Windsor, Harvard’s first librarian. The third volume, Review of National Literatures: Selected Essays (1970–2001): The European Spectrum (2008), is a sampling focused only on multi-comparative essays discussing European literature, including racial terms for Africans in Elizabethan usage, the impact of Europe on the development of Indian literature, and the topology of German Expressionism. The second volume, the subject of this review, focuses only on overviews of literatures normally excluded from the Western canon, namely emergent and neglected national literatures. Paolucci’s use of the term “sampler” to describe these three volumes of essays is especially apt. This second volume contains topics that range spatiotemporally from modern Norwegian to ancient Persian literatures and thematically from the EuroAfrican experience to the state of comparative literature in New Zealand—all within the volume’s seventeen essays that average nineteen pages in length. Though this range might appear too broad for some, the included essays generally fall into one of two implied categories: historical overviews and comparative criticisms. The historical overviews, which make up eleven of the essays, provide broad surveys of “emergent” or “neglected” national literatures exemplified by their greatest authors, including the literatures of New Zealand, Australia, India, Norway, the former [End Page 194] Yugoslavia and modern Balkan nations, Hungary, Persia and Iran, Armenia, and Japan. Each essay’s author warns the reader of the limited scope necessitated by the length of a single essay, but all provide elucidating accounts of their respective literatures. These accounts often go beyond mere introductions by incorporating discussions of the various past and current receptions of the works, their geopolitical contexts, and the schisms and divergences within the literary movements of those nations. Furthermore, in the case of Australia, India, and the former Yugoslavia and modern Balkan nations, multiple essays in the volume are dedicated to recounting their literary histories. The six essays in the volume are comparative criticisms in respect to methodologies used to compare the literatures of multiple cultures, nations, and/or languages. Lloyd Brown’s “The Black Aesthetic and Comparative Criticism” asks if there is a Black (Pan-African) aesthetic, if it is always synonymous with Black culture, and if only critics who are not Euro-centric in their methodology are equipped to make such determinations. Albert S. Gérard’s “Literature Emergent: The EuroAfrican Experience” draws a parallel between medieval European and colonial and postcolonial African literatures, particularly in the context of adopted languages. Janheinz Jahn’s “Modern African Literature: Bibliographical Spectrum” outlines the proportions of modern African literatures written in English, French, Portuguese, and African languages before he examines the linguistic disproportions among critical studies of those literatures: Critical studies written in a European language about literature written in the same language excessively outnumber studies in a European language about literature written in another language, especially in the cases of French and Portuguese, which statistically have almost no critical studies of African literature written in other languages. Norman Simm’s “Comparative Literature in New Zealand” reviews comparative literature courses and departments at various universities around New Zealand, concluding...

Reel Jewish (review)

Reviewed by: Reel Jewish Lawrence Baron Reel Jewish, by Joel Samberg. Middle Village, NY: Jonathan David Publishers, 2000. 224 pp. $22.95. I have a theory about why popcorn is the most popular snack to eat when we go to the movies. We generally see films either before or after having dinner. Following a meal, we like popcorn because it is light and delicious and there always seems to be room in our stomachs for it. If we are going to a restaurant after seeing a movie, the same qualities make popcorn a perfect food to eat if we don’t want to spoil our appetite. In either case, the virtue of popcorn is that it is not very filling. Joel Samberg’s book Reel Jewish is a lot like popcorn. It surveys many feature films with Jewish subjects without providing much substantial analysis that might ruin the ending of a particular movie if we haven’t seen it yet or help us decipher its various layers of meanings if we have. Instead, Samberg gives us just enough of a plot summary to indicate whether we might enjoy the motion picture and tasty kernels of trivia related to its actors, directors, or production history that might motivate us to view it again. Samberg develops an interesting way of classifying Jewish movies by their themes. Sometimes, his categories seem right on target: the Jewish musical, family dynamics, comedies, Biblical epics, the Holocaust, antisemitism, and Jewish-Gentile couples. Other times his groupings of movies lack coherence. One chapter entitled “Between Two Worlds” deals with movies about the tension between old world traditionalism and [End Page 168] American individualism. Certainly movies like Hester Street, Lies My Father Told Me, and The Chosen portray the struggle between adaptation and resistance to secularism. Yet how does a film like The Pawnbroker depict this dilemma? It clearly is a film about the psychological trauma inflicted on a survivor by the Holocaust. Similarly, Samberg artificially assembles pictures as diverse as Goodbye Columbus, Driving Miss Daisy, Enemies: A Love Story, and The Governess in a chapter about Jews being “in a pickle.” In another chapter called “Wandering Jews,” he lumps films about traditional Jewish legends like The Golem and The Dybbuk with tales of post-Shoah consciousness like Crimes and Misdemeanors and Genghis Cohn. The decision to select certain movies for inclusion in such a book implies the omission of other films. To be sure, any list of the best or worst movies is bound to betray some arbitrariness on the part of the author. This is true for Kathryn Bernheimer’s The Fifty Greatest Jewish Movies (1998), which Samberg does not even cite in his bibliography. Samberg tends to neglect significant Israeli and Yiddish films. Although he reviews deeply flawed Israeli movies like Menahem Golan’s Hanna’s War and The Magician of Lublin, he fails to mention Israeli classics like Hill 24 Doesn’t Answer, Sallah, I Love You Rosa, and Under the Donim Tree. Samberg exhibits better taste in his brief foray into Yiddish films summarizing the plotlines of The Dybbuk and Tevye der Milkhiker, but the absence of movies like A Brivele der Mamen, Grine Felder, Mirele Efros, and Yidl Mitn Fidl in a book billing itself as a survey of “a century of Jewish movies” is inexplicable. And how can there be a chapter on Holocaust movies that leaves out critically acclaimed or commerically successful films like The Boat is Full, The Nasty Girl, NBC’s miniseries Holocaust, The Music Box, The Quarrel, The Revolt of Job, Sophie’s Choice, Train of Life, The Truce, and The Wannsee Conference, to name but a few of the moving and thoughtful explorations of this darkest chapter in modern Jewish history? One section of Samberg’s book that is extremely useful is devoted to web sites where readers can rent or buy many of the films he reviews. In this regard, The Jewish Video Catalog published by Ergo Media Inc., The Jewish Heritage Video Collection, and The National Center for Jewish Film contain troves of hard-to-find Jewish documentaries and feature films. I also have purchased many rare Jewish films from ebay.com and rented...
