问答题No Englishman believes in working from book learning. He suspects all theories, philosophical or other. He suspects everything new and dislike it, unless he can be compelled by the force of circumstances to see that this new thing has advantages over the old. Race-experience is what he invariably depends up upon, whenever he can, whether in India, in Egypt, or in Australia. His statesmen do not consult historical precedents in order to decide what to do: they first learn the facts as they are; then they depend upon their own common sense, not at all upon their university learning or upon philosophical theories. And in the case of the English nation, it must be acknowledged that this instinctive method has been eminently successful. The last people from whom praise can be expected, even for what is worthy of all praise, are the English. A new friendship, a new ideal, a reform, a noble action, a wonderful poet, an exquisite painting—any of these things will be admired and praised by every other people in Europe long before you can get Englishmen to praise. The Englishman all this time is studying, considering, trying to find fault. Why should he try to find fault? So that he will not make any mistakes at a later day. He has inherited the terrible caution of his ancestors in regard to mistakes. It must be granted that his caution has saved him from a number of very serious mistakes that other nations have made. It must also be acknowledged that he exercises a fair amount of moderation in the opposite direction—this modern Englishman; he has learned caution of another kind, which his ancestors taught him. "Power should be used with moderation: for whoever finds himself among valiant men will discover that no man is peerless." And this is a very important thing for the strong man to know-that however strong, he cannot be the strongest; his match will be found when occasion demands it. Not only Scandinavian but English rulers have often discovered this fact to their cost.

问答题In the old days, it was all done with cakes. For Marcel Proust, it was a visit to Mother's for tea and madeleines that provided the access to "the vast structure of recollection" that was to become his masterpiece on memory and nostalgia, "Remembrance of Past Things." These days, it's not necessary to evoke the past: you can't move without tripping over it. In an age zooming forward technologically, why all the backward glances? The Oxford English Dictionary's first definition of nostalgia reads: "acute longing for familiar surroundings; severe homesickness." With the speed of computers doubling every 18 months, and the net doubling in size in about half that, no wonder we're aching for familiar surroundings. Since the cornerstone of the Information Age is change, anything enduring becomes precious. " People are looking for something authentic," says McLaren. Trouble is, nostalgia has succumbed to trends in marketing, demographics and technology."Nostalgia ain't what it used to be," says Michael J. Wolf, senior partner at Booz-Allen & Hamilton in New York."These are the new good old days." Baby boomers form the core of the nostalgia market. The boomers, defined by American demographers as those born between 1946 and 1964, are living long and prosperous lives. In both Europe and America, they remain the Holy Grail for admen, and their past has become everyone's present. In a study on "entertainment imprinting," two American marketing professors, Robert Schindler and Morris Holbrook, asked people ranging in age from 16 to 86 which popular music from the past they liked best. People's favorite songs, they found, tended to be those that were popular when they were about 24, with their affection for pop songs diminishing on either side of that age. Doubtless Microsoft knows about entertainment imprinting, or at least nostalgia. The company hawks its latest Explorer to the strains of Simon and Garfunkel's "Homeward Bound," just as it launched Windows 98 to the tune of "Start Me up" by the Rolling Stones. Boomers remember both tunes from their 20s. If boomers are one market that values memories, exiles are another. According to the International Organization of Migration, more than 150 million people live today in a country other than the one where they were born—double the number that did so in 1965. This mass movement has sources as dire as tyranny and as luxurious as the freedoms of an EU passport. But exiles and refugees share one thing: homes left behind. Type in "nostalgia" on the search engine Google, and one of the first sites that pop up is the nostalgia page of The Iranian, an online site for Iran's exiles, most of whom fled after 1978's Islamic revolution. Perhaps the savviest exploitation of nostalgia has been the secondhand-book site alibris, corn, which features stories of clients' rediscovering long-lost books on it. One John Mason Mings writes of the glories of finding a book with information on "Kickapoo Joy Juice," ad dreaded medicine of his youth. A Pennsylvanian waxes over alibris's recovery of his first-grade primer "Down cherry Street." The Net doesn't merely facilitate nostalgia—it promotes it. Web-based auction houses have helped jump-start markets for vintage items, form marbles to Apple Macintoshes. Cutting-edge technology, designed to be transient, has even bred its own instanostalgia. Last year a $666 Apple I went for $18,000 to a British collector at a San Francisco auction. "Historic! Microsoft Multiplan for Macintosh" crows one item on eBay's vintage Apple section. Surf to The Net Nostalgia Quiz to puzzle over questions like "In the old days, Altavista used to have which one of these URLs?" Those who don't remember their history are condemned to repeat it. Or so entertainment moguls hope, as they market '70s TV hits like "Charlie's Angels" and "Scooby Doo," to a generation that can't remember them the first time round. If you've missed a Puff Daddy track or a "Sopranos" episode, panic not. The megahits of today are destined to be the golden oldies of 2020, says Christopher Nurko of the branding consultant FutureBrand. "I guarantee you, Madonna's music will be used to sell everything," he says."God help me, I hope it's not selling insurance." It could be. When we traffic in the past, nothing's sacred.

问答题Penny Gold: For three people thrown together by chance, it"s interesting that we all have spent part of our lives at the University of Chicago—me as an undergraduate student, John Komlos as a graduate student, and John Goldsmith as a professor. And the three of us are close in age and in the types of disciplines chosen—I am also a historian, with additional graduate training in literature and art history. A large difference among us, however, is that my teaching career has been primarily at a small liberal arts college (Knox College), an institution that puts its strongest emphasis on teaching, even while research is encouraged and expected. I"m also female and began my career during a period of time in which women were just beginning to enter academia in significant numbers; this has been a formative influence on my life in the academy and in my attitudes toward it. I entered graduate school without a clear commitment to professional training. In the fall term of my senior year, I was suddenly caught up in my studies by a serendipitous concatenation of courses in medieval studies and cultural history, and I just wanted to keep learning. It happened that Stanford, where I chose to go, was giving full funding for four years to all entering history graduate students at that time (thanks to generous funding from the Ford Foundation, which was—unsuccessfully, it turns out—trying to speed completion of Ph.D. s), so I paid nothing for my graduate education, nor did I have to go into debt. The first year of graduate school was quite a shock, and if I had been spending thousands of dollars of my own money, I"m not sure I would have stayed in school. But in the end, I was very glad the financial support enticed me to stay, helping me through a rough transition. While Stanford then gave its graduate students no instruction in teaching (a situation now changed), I had the good fortune to experience excellent mentoring while I was there, and unlike John Komlos and John Goldsmith, I learned a great deal during graduate school about how the academy works. My advisor was beginning his first job as a professor in the same year I began graduate school, and I learned much from him about the demands, pleasures, and precariousness of academic life. Another professor I worked closely with was denied tenure while I was in my third year; I contributed a letter to her successful appeal and learned a good deal about academic values and processes along the way. I was at Stanford in the early years of the women"s movement (1969—1974), and my involvement in the History Graduate Students Women"s Caucus was also a crucial learning experience. The department at Stanford had only one female professor at the time, a Harvard Ph.D. who, because of nepotism rules (her husband had a position in another department), was limited to a non-tenure-track adjunct appointment. When this woman resigned, the Women"s Caucus organized an effort to persuade the department to hire a woman for a tenure-track appointment. We talked, we wrote letters, and we succeeded. Another student and I were members of the search committee that resulted. I think I learned more about how the academy works, and how one can work to change it, in that one year than in many of the rest. Also, within this early cohort of women in the academy, there was a strong sense of solidarity, amongst both graduate students and faculty, within and across institutions. We knew we needed to figure out all we could about academic institutions and procedures in order to make it as newcomers, and we helped each other out as best we could. Often without access to the "old boy" networks, we founded "new girl" networks, and these have been a crucial source of support, comfort, and help to me over the years.
