Theories and Practices of Remembering Nostalgia in New Urbanization

As the National Conference on New Urbanization proposed, "(new urbanization) should enable residents to see mountains and waters, and remember nostalgia". Nostalgia is a kind of memories and yearning deep in the heart for one's homeland or the place once lived in, it is the softest emotion and also a spiritual need. To keep nostalgia in new urbanization is to preserve history, culture, memories, and humanistic spirits of the homeland, and also to maintain local cultural genes and carry forward rural civilization. The foundation of remembering the nostalgia is to intensify culture protection. And by means of protecting cultural heritage and style of the traditional settlement practically, preserving cultural gene, inheriting cultural memory, creating cultural brand and characteristic landscape etc., the nostalgia can meet the spiritual demands of the residents, such as homesickness, life emotion, historical emotion and cultural emotion in the process of new urbanization. The key of remembering nostalgia is to promote the construction of small characteristic towns. Relying on on-site urbanization, the signifi cant ways of achieving new urbanization are star-studded layout of small towns and the construction of small characteristic tourism town. The construction of Hunan-style Tourism Town is a positive attempt and exploration of remembering nostalgia, and it contributes to the construction of a beautiful and poetic homeland for the human-centered new urbanization.

Remembering,Forgetting,and Absencing Disasters in the Post-disaster Recovery Process

Sustainable post-disaster recovery implies learning from past experience in order to prevent recreating forms of vulnerability.Memory construction supports both the healing process and redevelopment plans.Hence,memory of disaster results from the balance between remembering,forgetting,and absencing elements of the disaster,and can be both a tool and an obstacle to sustainable recovery.We explore here how collective memory is built in a post-disaster context to respond to the needs of this critical period,and how it shapes recovery.This ethnographic study,conducted between 2015 and 2017,explores the recovery processes in Montserrat,a small Caribbean island affected by an extended volcanic crisis from 1995 to 2010.Although this study does not give tangible solutions for disaster risk reduction in a post-disaster context,it highlights potential obstacles for learning from a disaster and how they may be surmounted.We argue that it is crucial to acknowledge evolving collective memory in order to implement effective measures for preserving and sharing a shared understanding of disaster across generations and social groups in a way that supports disaster risk awareness.We also maintain that acknowledging the dilemma faced by authorities and disaster management agencies during a period of conflicting needs may encourage the reconsideration of risk framing,and hence reveal how to improve implementation of disaster risk reduction measures.

Remembering, Forgetting and Self-Constitution： A Comparison of The Last Gentleman and Lanterns on the Levee

This paper examines in a comparative manner how remembering and forgetting contribute to self-constitution in Walker Percy＇s The Last Gentleman and William Alexander Percy＇s Lanterns on the Levee. In The Last Gentleman, Will Barrett embarks upon a journey from the North to the South in quest of identity. Lanterns on the Levee features a similar identity quest pursued, this time, by an autobiographer who records the very process of this quest rather than representing it by a fictional character. Percy the stoic restores realness to people in a lost world, from whom he derives his self and in whom his self is deeply rooted, by remem- bering the personally significant and good past and forgetting the personally insignificant and evil present. In so doing, he not only asserts his personal identity but continues to construct it in an imaginative way. Will, by contrast, seeks to constitute and ascertain his stoic identity both by attempting to forget the every- dayness of ordinary life and thereby establish a genuine relationship with people and by undertaking the pursuit of a fatherly figure who echoes his tenacious memory of his father. Both Will and Percy, however, may be called what Kierkegaard calls a knight of infinite resignation.

Remembering Misery

A Tibetan recalls a dismal life under the old feudal serfdom system How much could a man’s life change in 50 years? For Myima Toinzhub, it has changed a lot. Once an oppressed serf in Tibet’s Gyangze County, the 75-year-old is now a well-known yak farmer earning 5,000 yuan ($220) a year selling dairy products from his 11 animals. His family also grows two hectares of highland barley, radishes and potatoes.

Forgetting May Be Part of the Process of Remembering

遗忘能够帮助记忆吗?这一说法似乎有点自相矛盾。最近美国斯坦福大学的研究人员通过对20名青年学生进行单词记忆测验得出结论:把干扰信息遗忘掉,这样做有利于大脑记忆新的重要信息。当新旧信息堆积在一起时,大脑中某个区域会自动作出选择,忘掉过期的信息,以便更好地记住新信息,这个过程就好比打牌时选择出哪张牌一样。这一说法虽然新颖,却是可信的。

Remembering Tibet

I close my eyes. The children with whom I stayed with in Lhasa appear before me. In the pink world they smile. It is a strange feeling. I have been to Tibet twice. I remember how the Lhasa children would walk on the streets in Lhasa: when they spotted a man and a woman holding hands, they would sing, "You Are Late", a popular song of that time. "I had her in my heart a long time ago./Oh! She arrived before you." When the young couple turned around, the children would run away. Then they searched for another couple. What I most remember about Tibet

[learning strategies]These are techniques used by second language learners for remembering and organizing samples of the L2.Some researchers claim that learning strategies contribute to L2 development.An example of a learning strategy is the‘keyword'approach to acquiring vocabulary,in which a vocabulary item to be learned is associated with an unusual mental image.A classic example is learning the German word for‘egg'Ei by imagining an egg with an eye'in the middle of it.

Demographic Dilemma

China needs a proactive response to negative population growth The year 2022 will most likely be remembered as a turning point in any future discussion on China’s demographics.That year,the world’s most populous country entered an“era of negative population growth.”Its natural population growth rate slid to 0.6 per thousand from 2021’s 0.34 per thousand,the nation’s overall population declined by 850,000 people year-on-year,and new births fell below 10 million for the first time since 1950,data from the National Bureau of Statistics showed.
