唐代宮廷女詩人及其詩作研究
Get PDF唐朝是詩歌的黃金時代，能詩者遍及社會各階層，當中不乏婦女作品，恰如元代辛文房所言：「歷觀唐以雅道獎士類，而閨閣英秀，亦能熏染，錦心繡口，蕙情蘭性，足可尚矣。」在《全唐詩》一百二十多位女詩人裏，有二十五位屬宮闈女性，後又稱為宮廷女詩人。然而，後來學者亦明白宮廷婦女的數目遠不只二十五位那麼少。
唐代宮廷女詩人，所指的是由女皇、皇后、妃嬪、公主、女官及宮人等不同宮廷階級組成的女詩人群體。本文將以唐代宮廷女詩人為研究對象，首先探討她們在宮廷女子教育下，於文學、書法及樂舞等各方面取得的成果，進而用初、盛唐及中、晚唐分期法，探討她們的身份、詩歌題材及整體趨勢的嬗遞。最後，本文歸納出宮廷女詩人及其詩歌的三大特色，並說明五代十國時期宮廷女詩人呈復興之趨勢
迷茫．掙扎．反叛：論華北搖滾樂的空間敘事
Get PDF本文從華北搖滾樂隊「萬能青年旅店」與「劉森」出發，通過分析其歌詞、專輯封面、宣傳海報等物料中對於不同空間的書寫，結合邁克·克朗《文化地理學》的理論知識，探討音樂作為文化傳播的「多重中介」之一，如何形成集體情感認同與文化記憶，本文也欲與「東北文藝復興」形成對話，探討東北與華北的不同之處，從而構建華北獨特的空間敘述。
文章主要分為三個部分，第一部分聚焦萬能青年旅店的工業城市構建，在大廈傾倒和信仰重建過程中研究當代中國搖滾樂的迷惘與反叛；第二部分將結合劉森歌詞中對於縣城空間的敘事，分析青年在城鄉對立之間的游離狀態；第三部分從人文轉向自然，俯瞰華北的太行山脈，探討發展主義與生態平衡之間的生態批評與反思
論李碧華《霸王別姬》對虞姬傳統形象的繼承與顛覆
Get PDF香港作家李碧華以女性為主角的故事新編小說膾炙人口，但其作品之淺白、意識浮擺不定，飽受學術界批評，更被指控為鞏固父權機制的作品。然而，筆者認為在小說《霸王別姬》中，李碧華藉着顛覆虞姬的傳統形象，瓦解了「霸王別姬」題材中的雙重二元對立結構，把女性從男性設立的限制中解放，衝擊父權機制。本論文以《霸王別姬》作研究對象。第一章會先討論虞姬在千年來角色形象的演化，第二章會討論虞姬形象在《霸》小說中的繼承，並延伸出第三章虞姬形象在小說中的顛覆，並分析作者的寫作策略對文本談及之性別議題賦予的意義
鴿瘟
Get PDF由白鴿引起的一場病，帶出一個青年的故事，也扯出了一段難以啟齒的家庭往事。
家裏，一個控制著孩子的母親，一個和和氣氣，但經常不在家的父親，還有一個長期被壓抑的孩子。終於，他成為了清華大學的博士，踏出了家門，還交到了女朋友。可身在外地，就真的能算離開家了嗎？
不同的成長階段，面臨著不同的煩惱。離開那座熟悉的城市，離開那個家，又真的那麼容易嗎？
教育，是每個學生，每個家庭都必須面對的議題，為了讓孩子考上那重點大學，「怪獸家長」將所有精力傾注在孩子的分數上，讓孩子提前起跑，可又是否留意，孩子的，以至於自己的精神狀態呢？
所以，「都是為了你好！」是真的只是為了孩子嗎
九張機
Get PDF有許多年輕人都從未經歷過與身邊人的死別，而當他們初次直面生死時應如何面對，又應如何從對亡者的思念中振作起來，這是一個難以解決卻又不容忽視的問題。當我們有親朋正痛溺 於追思亡者時，我們能做的往往便只有安慰。然而那些安慰人的說話作用能有多大，凡經歷過的人都會知曉。或許只有與他們共情，引導他們轉變看待死亡的 心態，支持他們自己走出來，才是比較妥善的方法吧。是以，本作以「念」為內核，圍繞思念以剖釋如何面對死別並走出其陰霾。
九張機，以九段追思亡者的階段，編織出生者的無垠思念。本作是我情感的投射，亦是我筆下的敘事者終其一生皆為思念所困的一份記憶。本作每章均描繪着經歷摯親死別後所會面對的不同階段與狀態。起初首聞惡耗之時的茫然，親眼見證摯親的屍體被焚燒時的痛心，短期內撕心裂肺的那份悲痛慟怛與毫無緣故的自責，稍為緩過來後的一蹶不振與對生活的淡漠無措，投入生活的忙碌勞累的自我麻痺與自欺欺人，對身邊的親友都患得患失惟恐會再度面對死別的絕望，不住緬懷與亡者曾經的所有珍貴而美好的點點滴滴，再到開始能夠轉變心態看待人的生死並坦然直面對故人的思念，我相信都是經歷死別後要走過的歷程。
思念可以有不同的形式。同樣是思念，有人會痛溺於思念之苦，有人會追慕着思念之美。我創作初衷所求並非讓人摒棄思念，相反，我希望害思念之苦的人能正視自己這份思念的美好之處，得以坦然擁抱這一份彌足 珍貴的思念，與逝去的摯親好好地作第二次的離別
404
Get PDF也許你會感到熟悉，因為這曾經是，或正是現在發生在這個香港社會中的事，你或許會成為當中的一分子，你或許曾目睹事情的發生，你或許與之擦身而過，你或許有過相似的感覺，但你並不孤單。
《404》是一條每個人都熟悉的網絡代碼，象徵著你連結網站發生的錯誤。社會就如同一個龐大的網絡，連結著每個人的生活，人與人之間亦會互相影響，但在這巨大而複雜的社會中，總會有被忽略的一角，令人人都有機會陷入一個個微不可察的錯誤，與網絡失聯，和正常健康的社會割裂。社會中的小人物，又如何在錯誤的網站上尋找出路，回到正軌？
《404》中的四篇微型小說，記錄了現今社會中普遍的各種現象，以關愛座、十號風球、容貌焦慮和虛擬網絡為主題，並從多個城市中生活的小人物的角度出發，通過誇大和超現實的方式去書寫和發掘日常生活發生的各種細微、不起眼、被忽略的事件，但這一群正正是在社會不正常氛圍下的受害者。
它們曾無數次在香港上演，甚至與你擦身而過，但都被有意無意地忽略了，把它們從記憶中淡化，也許香港人是習慣罷了：關愛座爭議，各種極端天氣下發生的慘事，疫情後依舊蔓延在社會中的容貌焦慮，虛擬世界的活動，都是香港人所習以為常的點點滴滴。但當這些小事不再平凡，影響力超乎想像時，人們又該何去何從？
本文旨在透過這四個不同主題的故事，多角度描繪出香港社會的氛圍，與深入香港人生活在不同情景中的面貌和心理，藉此引起讀者的共鳴與對問題的反思
Process-oriented explanation of institutional changes : comparative cases of national health and pension system reforms in Indonesia
Get PDFThis dissertation compares the causal mechanisms by which healthcare and pension systems in Indonesia have been developed. Despite their shared historical trajectories, the health reform emerged successful, while the pension reform faltered. The study employs process tracing to dissect the specific processes through which the Indonesian production regime and political bargains in 1998–2015 influenced these reforms. It commences with the generation of ideal-type mechanisms based on relevant studies, which are then tested in different cases. The researcher then connects the theoretically expected causality with fieldwork data, reconstructing a revised graph of causal mechanisms that links the crisis and reforms/inertia for theory-building.
Findings suggest that healthcare and pension reforms largely fail to satisfy ideal-type mechanisms based on the power resources logic. Instead, this study identifies causal pathways driven by the policy entrepreneurs\u27 cooperation as the core explanatory mechanism for studied cases. This mechanism highlights the interaction of welfare bureaucrats and Academic Administrative Entrepreneurs (AAE), who hold secure positions within public administration institutions regardless of political-economic changes, in facilitating policy solutions that align with political interests. While the policy entrepreneur cooperation mechanism represented a causal reform process, there needed to be an explanation for how policy entrepreneurs could (not) effectively convince policymakers to adopt reform. The modularization analysis fills the gap by identifying additional mechanisms that outline the causal relationship between key actors\u27 activities and the institutional context that enabled or constrained policy entrepreneurs\u27 space for action.
The modularization analysis uncovers fascinating dynamics in the case of Indonesian healthcare reform. It reveals that the successful implementation of health reform in the United States, which bolstered President Obama\u27s political credibility, played a pivotal role in the Indonesian healthcare reform advocated by AAE. Citing Obamacare as a reference during the lobbying process, AAE convinced relevant stakeholders to adopt the healthcare reform as a solution to diminish persistent unfavorable perceptions of the ruling right-center wing party because of corruption scandals. These tactics effectively enhanced the party\u27s popularity in preparation for the 2014 election. This case serves as a compelling example of how policy reform experiences from external contexts can be assimilated domestically to address a domestic political concern, demonstrating a policy learning-driven interest-interdependence mechanism.
In the meantime, the success of health reform, which notably does not yield a bandwagon effect for pension reform, has illustrated the window of resistance opportunity mechanism. It explains how the inability of the AAE, who has a public health background, to resolve the deadlock between opposing parties has increased the power of stakeholders who oppose pension reform, allowing potential losers to effectively block the pension reform plans. The other variance of additional mechanisms stimulating the outcomes is detailed in section 8.3.
This study has several significant contributions to social policy and process tracing literature. Not only does a comparative and process-oriented analysis of Indonesian healthcare and pension offer new perspectives on the factors contributing to policy reform, but the case studies also showcase the diverse causal mechanisms across different pillars of social policy within the same historical context
Essays on product mix strategies in influencer livestream commerce and personal pronoun use in crowdfunding
No full textEssay 1: The past decade has witnessed a dramatic rise in influencer marketing, with its value expected to hit 24 billion U.S. dollars by 2024. A key emerging contributor driving this growth is live stream commerce, which combines influencer live stream and e-commerce. Yet, the knowledge of influencers developing product mix strategies to maximize sales remains limited. In this trend, influencers often promote or sell multiple products that are similar or even substitutes. While this may increase the likelihood of consumers purchasing multiple items, it may also result in competition among similar products. To accurately identify the effectiveness of various product mix strategies, I utilize unique data from over 2 million live streams on TikTok to identify the potential competition (or synergy) of similar products promoted during live streams. The findings suggest that presenting similar products in a live stream overall increases sales performance. We propose that the product sales of a livestream depend on the perceived credibility. Promoting multiple similar items increases credibility by showing the expertise of the influencer and thereby increasing sales. Furthermore, the synergy of similar products will be weakened when the perceived credibility is already high, for instance, when the influencer possesses extensive promotional expertise in the product category being promoted or when the influencers have intensive product/brand promotion activity. This study is the first to (1) empirically investigate the impact of introducing similar products on live stream sales performance, and (2) provide specific guidelines for developing product mix strategies for live streams.
Essay 2: Language is the currency of human communication, we use words to interact with others. Particularly, personal pronouns are among the most used words according to the Oxford English Corpus. The extant literature suggests that even subtle variations in language use can significantly affect consumers’ perceptions/behaviors. However, although substantial research shows that personal pronoun usage reflects the writer\u27s mindset or traits, it is unclear how pronoun usage impacts the reader. This study tries to bridge this knowledge gap and investigates how pronoun usage (third-person versus first-person) affects funding behavior in the increasingly important domain of crowdfunding (donation-based versus reward-based). Specifically, we find that using third- (first-) person pronouns increases the funded amount of donation- (reward-) based crowdfunding. For donation-based crowdfunding, funders contribute primarily out of altruism and are more likely to trust a fundraiser who writes objectively using third-person pronouns. For reward-based crowdfunding, funders expect rewards and the using first-person pronouns signals the fundraiser’s expertise in product development. We combine empirical analyses with experiments. Empirical analyses based on population-scale data verify the proposed effects. Field and lab experiments strengthen the causal inference. This study is among the first that (1) demonstrates that a subtle variation in language use can influence funding behavior, (2) offers an integrated perspective of donation- (reward-) based crowdfunding, and (3) causally reveals a psychological process that has significant funding implications for crowdfunding. The managerial implications are substantial as currently 88% of donation-based crowdfunding overwhelmingly uses first-person pronouns
直覺與境界 : 朱光潛對王國維境界說的詮釋及對話
Get PDF王國維《人間詞話》雖吸收傳統詩學並以中國傳統的詩話形式寫成，卻深具現代美學的眼光。其境界説既是中國傳統文論的發展，也是中國現代美學的奠基。朱光潛以克羅齊的直覺説爲觀念框架將王國維的境界説納入其中，對其觀念作了進一步的詮釋與再造，使得境界成爲詩論體系中的核心範疇，亦使境界説轉化爲現代美學的基本範疇。朱光潛在吸收王國維境界説建立本人之詩學過程中，也與王氏形成了詮釋與對話關係。王國維論詞有隔與不隔之説，朱光潛對王氏的理解與詮釋究竟隔與不隔？實成一有趣的學術史問題。從王國維到朱光潛都融會中西文論與美學而自成其説，呈現出晚清到民國期間學術轉型的重要面向。
Although written in poetry talk form developed in traditional Chinese poetry criticism, Wang Guowei\u27s The Ci Poetry Talk of the World introduces a perspective of modern aesthetics and establishes his theory of Inscape. After Wang Guowei, Zhu Guangqian adopted Croce\u27s theory of intuition as a broad conceptual framework to rethink and transform Wang\u27s theory into a broader aesthetic paradigm. His sustained dialogue with Wang raises an interesting question of an interplay between lucidity and opaqueness concerning his expositions on Wang\u27s critical insights. The rise of Wang\u27s and Zhu\u27s theories betoken the profound transition of Chinese intellectual thought during the late Qing and early Republican periods
