Dirt in our mouths and hunger in our bellies: Metaphor, theory-making, and systems approaches to sustainable agriculture

The metaphor of the food system,dominant in current research approaches to sustainableagriculture, mirrors the productionist paradigm, whichreduces our relationship to land and food to theproduction and consumption of commodities. Theenactment of the familiar values of nourishment andhospitality is what the goal of sustainableagriculture would amount to in terms of our day to daylived experience. The metaphor of an earthen bowl asa theory of food and agriculture can embody thesevalues such that broader change might be achievedthrough embracing the idea and practice of theories asnourishing and theorizing as hospitable.

DNA芯片技术研究进展

DNA芯片技术是近年来发展迅猛的生物高新技术，它是利用光刻合成、高速打印或电定位等技术，在支持物硅、玻璃或尼龙膜上胺照特定的排列方式有序地固化大量的基因探针，形成DNA微阵列。生物样品DNA／RNA通过PCR／RT－PCR扩增和荧光标记后与DNA微阵列杂交，通过荧光扫描器及计算机分析，即可获得样品的基因序列及表达的信息。

"李约瑟之谜"研究述评

对于李约瑟提出的"为什么近代科学不在中国文明(或印度文明)中间产生,而只在欧洲发达起来",众多学者试图做出解答,其中较具代表性的有"官僚体制"说、文化影响论、"高水平均衡陷阱"说、"人口规模+科举制"说、整体研究论等.在对这些解释进行简要评价的基础上指出,对"李约瑟之谜"的全面回答实际上超出了科技史范围,而且对该问题的全面回答将大大加深我们对历史发展的理解.     

Renovating dependency and self-reliance for participatory sustainable development

Dependency stands for manygrievances and is generally considered asymptom of oppression. An opposing concept,offered as the preferred state, isself-reliance. Dependency and self-reliance arekey concepts in sustainable developmentprograms that feature participatory approaches.Some of the ways in which development projectsemploy the concepts of dependency andself-reliance, however, are troubling.Dependency and self-reliance in two programsfor participatory sustainable development areexamined, one in Canada and the other in NewZealand. Frameworks for dependency and self-reliance aredrawn from social psychology and philosophy toexamine problematic aspects associated with theconcepts. Analysis produced a proposal foruse of the term situatedinterdependence as a way to cast the outcomesof participatory sustainable development moreprecisely. The location of the cases (Canadaand New Zealand) centers the discussion withina context of industrialized agriculture, butalso points to issues pertinent to developingcountries.
