Personal Narratives as Interactive Texts: Collecting and Interpreting Migrant Life-Histories*     

Miranda Miles  Jonathan Crush 《The Professional geographer》1993,45(1):84-94

Life-history or personal narrative techniques have considerable potential as a way of recovering hidden histories, contesting academic androcentrism, and reinstating the marginalized and dispossessed as makers of their own past. Drawing on a large methodological literature on life-history collection, and applications of these techniques in Africa, we argue that geographers might explore these methodologies as a means of recovering lost geographies and venting alternative voices in academic texts. Drawing on our own project on Swazi migrant women, we suggest that life-histories cannot, however, be seen purely as vehicles for the delivery of uncontaminated fact about the past. Rather personal narratives should be viewed and interpreted as interactive texts. This leads us to a consideration of a number of methodological and interpretive issues surrounding life-history collection: the positional advantages of insider status, the “terrible assymetries” of the interview process, and the power (and pitfalls) of narrative forms of representation.  相似文献

华南地区存在两种类型变质基底。Sm-Nd同位素数据的研究结果表明,它们可分别代表华南两种类型元古代地壳端员。华夏地块区副变质岩代表成熟度较高的(早)元古代地壳端员,~(147)Sm/~(144)Nd=0.1198,~(143)Nd/~(144)Nd=0.511822;江南古岛弧区副变质岩代表成熟度较低的(中—晚)元古代地壳端员,~(147)Sm/~(144)Nd=0.1246,~(143)Nd/~(144)Nd=0.512170。根据上述数据得出了华南元古代地壳Sm-Nd同位素演化域,进而对华南不同时代花岗岩类的物质来源作了进一步的讨论。  相似文献   

Geothermobarometry of mafic granulites and metapelite from the Palghat Gap, South India: petrological evidence for isothermal uplift and rapid cooling   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

The Palghat Gap region is located near the centre of the large southern Indian granulite terrane. at the northern edge of the Kodaikanal charnockite massif. The dominant rock types in the region are hornblende-biotite ± orthopyroxene gneisses and charnockites along with minor amounts of intercalated mafic granulite, metapelite and calc-silicate. The P-T estimates from garnetiferous mafic granulites and metapelite samples are generally in the range 9-10 kbar and 800-900 C using both conventional thermobarometric methods and the TWEEQU thermobarometry program. These P-T estimates, which should be taken as minimum values, are among the highest yet reported for South Indian and Sri Lankan granulites. The occurrence of orthopyroxene + plagioclase symplectites around embayed garnet grains in the mafic granulites and cordierite rims around garnet grains in metapelite suggest an isothermal decompression-type path. Similarly, a core-rim P-T trajectory indicates c. 3 and 7 kbar decompression at high temperature in the mafic granulites and metapelite, respectively. In both rock types, the key to the determination of the retrograde P-T path was the recognition of small amounts of second generation plagioclase with a more anorthitic composition than the matrix plagioclase. The preservation of high garnet-pyroxene temperatures in the mafic granulites (despite small garnet grain size) suggests rapid cooling of the terrane. Calculated minimum cooling rates range from 8 to 80 C Ma^-1. Such cooling rates are more rapid than those associated with normal isostatic processes and suggest that the terrane was tectonically exhumed at high temperature.  相似文献   

The fountains of Pretoria     

J. R. Vegter 《Environmental Geology》1996,27(2):113-117

The occurrence of groundwater in South Africa is to a very large degree limited to a surficial zone of weathered and fractured hard rock formations. Primary aquifers include narrow strips of alluvium along certain river stretches and to Cenozoic coastal deposits. Coupled with a rainfall that is well below the world average, South Africa is therefore poorly endowed with large springs. These are almost totally confined to karst areas.  相似文献   

陕南膨胀土及其滑坡灾害研究     

肖荣久  王桂增  于芳 《地球学报》1996,17(Z1):189-194

膨胀土在陕南汉江流域的汉中盆地、西乡盆地及安康盆地分布广泛，其面积约达1300km2，占汉江流域中3个盆地面积的1/2以上. 由于膨胀土土体的胀缩变形和土体结构变异，导致滑坡灾害广泛发育，致使工程建筑和农田破坏，给国家和人民造成了巨大的经济损失，因此，研究陕南膨胀土及其滑坡灾害，不论在理论和实践等方面，对陕南的经济建设都具有十分重要的意义.  相似文献

South　China　Sea　Warm　Pool　in　Boreal　Spring   总被引：36，自引：1，他引：36  

Peter C. Chu  C.-P. Chang 《大气科学进展》1997,14(2):195-206

During the boreal spring of 1966, a warm-core eddy is identified in the upper South China Sea (SCS) west of the Philippines through an analysis of the U.S. Navy’s Master Oceanographic Observation Data Set. This eddy occurred before the development of the northern summer monsoon and disappeared afterward. We propose that this eddy is a result of the radiative warming during spring and the downwelling due to the anticyclonic forcing at the surface. Our hypothesis suggests an air-sea feedback scenario that may explain the development and withdrawal of the summer monsoon over the SCS. The development phase of the warm-core eddy in this hypothesis is tested by using the Princeton Ocean model  相似文献
