City-making through exhibition-making: A retrospective study of the multifaceted-role of UABB in Shenzhen and Hong Kong
No full textAfter 15 years of experimentation, the Shenzhen & Hong Kong Bi-city Biennale of Urbanism\Architecture (UABB) has become the major biennale both exhibiting and co-creating the complex and contradictory urban dynamics of the region. As a node of the macro-network of global biennalization phenomenon, the UABB has developed its own way to reflect the emerging discontent on the instrumentalization of biennales through its active production of discourses and places. Situating the UABB in the global and local flows of cultural capitals, this paper tries to unpack the multifacetedrole of UABB in exhibition-making, city-making and community-making at different scales. This paper puts forward the proposition of the UABB as methods for both urban research and spatial practice to examine the socio-political dynamics through curating and representing urban culture in the region. A retrospective and comparative survey of the long-term impacts that UABB has left on the exhibition venues after the biennales in the two cities is constructed to understand the UABB\u27s potentials and limitations in city-making as primarily an exhibition-making practice. Based on these findings, this paper speculates an alternative curatorial strategy for the UABB which combines community-based participatory exhibition and multi-scalar urban intervention as one inter-disciplinary exhibition-making complex. The active site-engaging exhibition-making in the past and future will then enable the UABB as methods to continuously evolve and respond to the socio-political dynamics through rigorous spatial and curatorial practices and ultimately to enable potential social innovations
論潘之淙《書法離鈎》的書法美學中心思想
Get PDF明代學者潘之淙《書法離鈎》一書所表述的書法美學中心思想是“取法”與“離法”之間的辯證關係，潘之淙所描述的書法家從“得鈎”、“吞鈎”到“離鈎”的過程，展示出藝術修養的三段式規律：即立志取法→精通法則→離開法則，最後到達無法而法的高妙境地。這與禪學修養的三段式規律是密切相通的。
Ming-dynasty scholar Pan Zhicong’s Shufa ligou (Calligraphy Off the Hook) emphasizes the dialectical relationship between qufa (acquire the rules) and lifa (desert the rules). Pan describes a caligrapher’s three-step process from degou (on the hook), to tungou (master the hook), and to ligou (off the hook), which demonstrates the three phases of his artistic accomplishment: from adopt, to master, and to desert the rules and finally achieve the highest form of artistic freedom. This is closely related to the three stages of Zen Buddhist cultivation
漢藏語言研究對漢語研究的啓示 : 音類、音值及演化生態
Get PDF本文基於筆者對漢藏語言（尤其是白語）的研究，對漢語的研究提供一些參考意見。漢藏語言的譜系結構是大的研究背景，無論是漢藏比較還是漢語研究，都需要考慮將所探討的問題建立在更可靠的前提假設之下，同源抑或借用的判斷都應有切實的證據。語言中的音類，尤其是原始語言中的音類，應根據語音對應（如：漢語去聲和入聲在白語中對應）；音值方面的擬測可根據語音學的進展而更新完善，比如，現在對聲調的理解已經遠不限於基頻的變化了（如：白語中的發聲類型）；語言隨着言者的變化而變化，而言者在不同情形下的交際狀况就構成了演化生態，可以從大的生態角度出發，來理解一些複雜的變異（如：白語中的否定）。白語是漢語的姐妹語言，白語研究中的這些方面或許能拓寬漢語研究的視野。
Based on previous studies on Sino-Tibetan languages (mostly, the Bai language) by the author, this paper tends to provide some cues for studies on Chinese. The genetic structure of Sino-Tibetan languages offers the general background. Either Sino-Tibetan comparison or Chinese studies, may need a sustainable hypothesis. Either cognates or loanwords should be clearly identified with substantial evidence. Phonological categories, especially those of protolanguages, should be derived from sound correspondences, such as, the correspondences in the Bai language to Chinese departure tone and entering tone. The reconstruction of phonetic value may update with the advance of modern phonetics. For instance, tone is not only relevant to FO. Phonation types in the Bai language contribute to the tone system a lot. Languages change with their speakers. Different communicative scenarios result in different evolutionary ecology. From the perspective of evolutionary ecology, some complex variations, such as the negations of the Bai language, could be explained. The Bai language is a sister language of Chinese. The views in the studies of the Bai language are hopefully to broaden horizons of Chinese studies
從《尚書》古寫本看《尚書》文本的演變 : 兼談今古文《尚書》文字判定的標準
Get PDF《尚書》有伏生一系所傳《今文尚書》，有孔安國所傳壁中《古文尚書》，有晚出隸古定《尚書》，因爲《今文尚書》與壁中《古文尚書》均已失傳，晚出隸古定《尚書》經唐朝衛包改字，所存最早全文爲《唐石經》。故清代學者考定《今文尚書》與壁中《古文尚書》之文字，皆以《唐石經》的《古文尚書》中被認爲是真書的３３篇作爲基礎材料。但《唐石經》已被衛包改爲今字，而且距隸古定《尚書》面世已達五百多年，其間輾轉傳抄，應有不少有意改動與無意致誤者。文章通過七例敦煌與日本古寫本的異文，對前賢所論漢代今古文《尚書》文字的結論及其文字的判定標準提出疑問，認爲在判定漢代今古文《尚書》文字時應該充分利用早期寫本文獻，並從文本演變的角度思考《尚書》文字判定的標準問題。
There are 3 versions of Shangshu (尚書) , including Jinwen Shangshu (今文尚書) inherited from Fu Sheng (伏生), Guwen Shangshu (古文尚書) excavated in the wall of Confucius’ old house and read by Kong An-guo, and the “liguding (隸古定)” edition which is also known as Faked Guwen Shangshu (僞古文尚書). While the first two didn’t come down, the last one was withal transformed to a kaishu (楷書) version by Wei Bao (衛包) in Tang Dynasty, which was written in Tangshijing (唐石經), the earliest intact edition of Shangshu that we can watch today. The scholars of Qing Dynasty researched the characters of Jinwen Shangshu and Guwen Shangshu by the Tangshijing version, 33 chapters of which are identified as credible Shangshu texts. However, the characters of this version were turned from Guzi (古字) to Jinzi (今字) by Wei Bao, with a time lag for more than 5 centuries from the appearance of Faked Guwen Shangshu, when intended or unmeant change must take place by different kinds of transcription. This paper researchs different characters in the ancient manuscripts from Dunhuang and Japan with 7 examples, thus challenging the conclusions of former scholars about the characters of Jinwen Shangshu and Guwen Shangshu besides oppugning their method. We claim that the early ancient manuscripts should be abundantly used to judge the characters of different versions of Shangshu, and take the evolution of texts in consideration
Neo-Quinean and neo-Aristotelian metaontology : on explanation, theory choice, and the viability of ontological inquiry
Get PDFThis thesis is an exercise in comparative metaontology. I am centrally concerned with how one might choose between competing metaontological theories. To make my project tractable, I compare two contemporary metaontological approaches dominant in the literature: neo-Quineanism (N-Q) and neo-Aristotelianism (N-A). Peter van Inwagen, a representative of N-Q, claims that ontological inquiry should be conducted in the quantifier-variable idiom of first-order predicate logic; to know what exists, or what a theory says exists, we read our commitments off the regimented sentences that we affirm as true. E.J. Lowe, a representative of N-A objects to N-Q and claims that ontology should be done directly; that it is a mostly a priori activity which is the indispensable intellectual foundation for all rational inquiry. Both metaontological accounts are questionable and there seems to be no decisive way to choose between them. I claim, however, that considerations concerning the explanatory nature of ontology is a key and under-studied factor with respect to ontological method, pointing a way to a possible candidate for metaontological theory choice. I conclude that van Inwagen’s N-Q metaontology is wanting in many respects and further, that he does not provide adequate reasons to dispense with explanation as a feature of ontological inquiry. While explanatory considerations are central to Lowe’s N-A metaontology, I claim that the best that can be hoped for with his particular approach is a form of explanatory antirealism
Data security and M&A
Get PDFMotivated by the increasing importance of data in recent business models, we examine whether data security is an important driver of mergers and acquisitions in the era of big data. To do this, we exploit the staggered adoption of laws that require mandatory disclosure of data breaches across U.S. states. Our empirical strategy exploits two sources of variations: (a) changes in the intensity of M&As in a state before and after the adoption of data breach laws, and (b) differences between industries operating with varying degrees of cyber risks. We find that the intensity and likelihood of M&As increase (decrease) in states of targets after DBN law was adopted, when acquirers are from a state with (without) DBN Law in place. The increase of M&As was contributed by the mitigation of data lemon problems as a result of enhanced cybersecurity. The decrease of M&As was due to higher costs associated with potential data breaches. The effects are stronger among industries that are more competitive, technology intensive, and data intensive. Overall, our findings highlight the importance of cybersecurity in the era of big data and digital economy, and provides novel evidence in identifying data security as a key determinant of corporate acquisition decisions
