Examining the university supports and international students\u27 psychological well-being during the COVID-19 pandemic : a case study of a university in mainland China
Get PDFThe higher education sector in China has attracted many university students from different countries since the 21st century, reflecting the flow of international students over recent years. The onslaught of the COVID-19 pandemic was unprecedented to most of the world, especially for international students in China. These students had to rapidly adapt to the new normal , which included significant changes to their academic and social lives. The impact of such changes on their overall well-being is a subject of research in China and globally. This study adapts Ryff\u27s (1995) concepts of psychological well-being and Turner\u27s (2009) stress process model as the conceptual framework to explore how various types of stress or challenges experienced by international students influence their psychological wellbeing. It also investigates the role of universities\u27 support on their mental health during the pandemic.
This study relies on a qualitative case study research design. Data was gathered through an in-depth interview method with nine international students and one international student mentor in one mainland China university by purposive sampling and analysis of university working documents relating to support and measures to maintain the well-being of international students during the pandemic. The analysis of documents and interview data shows that the university implemented stringent regulations such as campus lockdown, self-quarantine and postponement of a new semester. These stressful events, combined with academic, financial, social and cultural challenges and infodemic, became chronic stress to international students, significantly impacting their mental health.
Generally, the findings illustrate that international students\u27 psychological well-being during COVID-19 included such emotions as doubt, anxiety, safety, and confidence under the case university support measures. Six impactful factors might provoke those four emotions: complicated life goals, predicaments of personal growth, weakness of environmental regulations, maladaptive self-acceptance, reconstruction of interpersonal relationships and limited individual independence and autonomy. Furthermore, the effectiveness of support measures on the psychological well-being of international students was examined. Although the case university provided adequate materials and medical supplies, the students felt that the quality of online courses and cross-cultural psychological counselling was inadequate for them and the situation. The conclusion reveals that even though social support measures were provided for international students\u27 stress alleviation, their mental health was still negatively influenced by the COVID-19 mandatory measures taken by the governments and universities. This study suggests that universities in the Chinese Mainland should have paid more attention to the psychological well-being of international students who stayed on campus during the pandemic. The university needs to enhance accurate information updating and offer more cross-cultural services to international students for their psychological wellbeing
杜甫“獨耻事干謁”發微
Get PDF《自京赴奉先縣詠懷五百字》是杜甫耻事干謁的一紙宣言，早已成為學界的不易之論。然而，結合詩歌文本、唐人干謁風尚、杜甫一生行跡及其干謁觀念，可知“獨耻事干謁”內涵複雜，並不能據此說明杜甫以干謁為耻。事實上，杜甫不僅在安史之亂後仍有干謁活動，對待干謁的態度也有理性客觀、因時而變的一面。杜甫晚年絕意干謁，是多重因素影響下的結果。如果直接替杜甫貼上“耻事干謁”的標籤，既會妨礙我們理解詩人晚年生存狀態與思想觀念，也不利於還原真實的杜甫形象。
Du Fu’s “Going from the Capital to Fengxian County, Singing My Feelings (five hundred words)” has been irrevocably accepted as his denouncement of ganye (begging for favor from high-level officials). However, a close reading of the poem alongside with Tang-dynasty custom of ganye and Du Fu’s attitude toward ganye shows his complex understanding of du chi shi ganye, which cannot be held as evidence of Du Fu feeling ashamed to beg for favor from high-level officials. In fact, not only did Du Fu continue to do so after the An Lushan Rebellion, but his attitude toward ganye also showed a rational and adaptable facet. Many factors contributed to Du Fu’s abandoning ganye in old age. Labeling Du Fu as a poet feeling ashamed of ganye hinders an accurate understanding of his late life and thoughts and a restoration of his actual historical image
影視業勞工狀況中期研究報告2023
Get PDF文化及創意產業是近年香港政府重點發展的產業，銳意將香港打造成「中外文化藝術交流中心」。然而文化及創意產業行內的運作模式、勞動條件和文化卻鮮有被研究。近期，業內發生了幾宗轟動的工業意外，備受社會關注。此外，媒體不時報導從業員被「拖糧」、長時間超時工作、行業前景受限等，反映需要深入研究創意產業勞工的工作狀態。在眾多的創意產業行業中，影視業的從業員人數較多，每年亦有大量畢業生投入市場，因此本研究報告集中討論影視行業的狀況。我們在今年四月至八月透過訪談接觸了30位從業員，訪問他們的入行經歷、勞動狀態、待遇等問題。另外在六月至八月，我們利用問卷調查了123名從業員，主要收集他們的接案協議及酬勞、工時及勞動強度、職業安全等數據。
研究發現
外判制度導致影視業工作普遍零散化、延遲支付酬勞（即「拖糧」）情況常見。問卷顯示，有42.3%回覆者表示在現時或上一份工作，開工前僅前有口頭或訊息協議，14.6%回覆者則在開工前沒有任何形式的協議。影視業的外判制度其來有自，經歷九十年代港產製作大幅萎縮，投資商須緊縮成本製作預算，改以承包及自由工作方式聘用勞工，導致從業員缺乏正式僱傭關係和相關勞工保障。零散化的勞動模式亦造成普遍的不合理待遇，包括「拖糧」、欠缺清晰的工作協議、內容修改和工時安排等。
影視業從業員的勞動強度普遍較高，過勞和工傷普遍，但甚少有適當處理。超過六成回覆者表示「頗多」或「經常」連續兩天工作12小時以上；76.4%回覆者表示試過或目睹工傷，不過，只有11.7%回覆者表示有向勞工處呈報工傷。
政策倡議
訂立從業員基本待遇守則。影視業應制訂標準合約以保障從業員的基本權益，包括明確的酬勞支付方式、日期、付款分期，以及具體的休息時間規定。在盡量減低各持份者的行政成本下，標準合約讓自由工作者享有合理保障。行業亦應規範每組拍攝之間的最短休息時間及每週休息日。政府應負起帶頭責任，規定受資助團體或個人必須以不亞於行業標準合約的待遇聘請製作人員。
訂立工業安全指引。業界組織、勞工團體和勞工處應盡快共同制定工業安全指引。勞工處應研究拍攝場地的安全隱患，參考現行法例和工作守則，製作適用的宣傳材料和訓練課程。確立工作守則後，勞工處可研究不同執法的可行性，例如要求呈報拍攝現場、巡查、鼓勵舉報不安全的拍攝環境等。勞工處應審視勞工法例，研究同時保障僱員、日薪從業員、自由工作者的工傷補償。另外，勞工處應積極研究將中暑和過勞納入工傷保障範圍。
政府須完善對影視業的資助。政府應完善電影發展資助階梯，並鼓勵影視製作人擴展到不同平台，開拓市場。同時須增加畢業生支援，並聯同業界和學界，研究影視製作的區域分工及香港影視界的比較優勢，並按此推行相關的教育、人才培訓和資助計劃，使香港影視業能在區域分工中突圍而出。https://commons.ln.edu.hk/ccrd_report/1004/thumbnail.jp
蜀石經所見《周禮．考工記》文本管窺
Get PDF唐石經被稱爲是“古本之終，今本之祖”。蜀石經是否與唐石經同祖太和舊本，以及蜀石經對後唐長興本、宋景德本以下有何影響，都是經典文本流傳中不可忽視的環節。以蜀石經《周禮·考工記》殘拓爲對象，從文獻和文字兩方面考察，推知蜀石經與開成石經同祖兼有經注的太和舊本，唯開成石經僅取其經文而略加校勘，蜀石經則兼取經注，故蜀石經注文大致是太和舊本的面貌；長興本注文是在太和舊本基礎上廣收衆本再經校勘的文本，所以與蜀石經注文有不小的差異，張��《石經注文考異》是其見證。蜀石經注文中略可窺見唐代太和本以前的一些影子，但其校勘粗疏，留下不少譌誤。
The Stone Classics of the Tang Dynasty are regarded as an important document which follows the early version and is the basis of the later versions. The following problems cannot be ignored in the circulation of Confucian Classics: First, whether the Shu 蜀 Stone Classics and Tang 唐 Stone Classics are both formed on the basis of the Taihe 太和 version or not; Second, what is the impact of the Shu Stone Classics on the later Tang Changxing 長興 version, the Northern Song Jingde 景德 version and other later versions? Focusing on the incomplete rubbings of the Shu Stone Classics Zhou Li Kao Gong Ji 周禮考工記, from the literature on the topic and the texts themselves, it can be inferred that the annotated Taihe version is the early version of the Shu Stone Classics and the Kaicheng 開成 Stone Classics. The Kaicheng Stone Classics just takes the text and simply proofreads it, but the Shu Stone Classics takes the text and the notes, so the annotation of the Shu Stone Classics has roughly the appearance of the Taihe version. Also, the annotation of the Changxing version is based on the Taihe version and collates many versions, so there is a big difference between them, which is witnessed by Shi Jing Zhu Wen Kao Yi 石經注文考異. Through the annotation of the Shu Stone Classics, researchers can partially understand the appearance of the Taihe version and some earlier versions, but it is still roughly collated and there are many mistakes
《儀禮》所見暫時性任務 : 兼評胡匡衷《儀禮釋官》
Get PDF《儀禮》所見人物活動，或有其固定性、經常性職務，亦有僅具暫時性任務者。所謂暫時性任務，其身分非屬職官，其任務時間不長，當任務結束，身分隨即消失，故謂之暫時性任務。此類任務《儀禮》所見非少，本文選取十要項述之，以見其餘。藉此可知胡匡衷《儀禮釋官》一書，對職官之認定、稱謂與分類，處理未甚妥切，有待商討。蓋《儀禮》禮典常見公私交錯，且兼有固定性職守與暫時性任務，倘讀者有此認知，允為得體。
Formal officials seen in the Yi Li had their fixed and regular duties. By contrast, there were also employees who had temporary tasks , which were not official positions. The duration of the temporary tasks was brief, and at the end of the tasks, the title which went with it also ended, so it was called temporary tasks. Yi Li makes regular mentions of the temporary tasks. This article selects ten points for discussion. Judging from the above, Hu Kuangzhong\u27s Interpretation of Officials in Yi Li may not be entirely accurate. The title and classification of officials, and the details are analysed. In Yi Li, it is common to see both public officials and private stewards working together in the ceremonies. The ceremonies also have both regular officials and temporary public employees working together. This paper hopes to provide some clarification on this topic
《莊子》中「孔子形象」研究
Get PDF本文旨在全面呈現道家學派經典著作《莊子》中有關「孔子形象」的描述，歸納其類型與特色，進而探討與儒家學派立場不同的《莊子》一書，如何對孔子這一先賢人物作出詮釋與運用，採用寓言化書寫策略的原因為何，背後又反映出莊子及其後學的何種態度。
本文共分為五個章節，第一章梳理古今學者研究，總結學界在此問題上形成的意見看法，歸納不同的解說派別與形象類型，指出本文要解決的問題。第二章詳細呈現《莊子》中的「孔子形象」，提出自己的分類意見，將其歸納為「以儒者面貌出現的孔子」、「由儒向道的孔子」、「為道家代言的孔子」三種類型。第三章從學派立場、寫作方法兩層面切入，分析《莊子》一書呈現多元「孔子形象」的原因。第四章探討《莊子》對「孔子」的態度，主要回應司馬遷之「詆孔說」。第五章進行總結，收束全文
《紅樓夢》的花影敍事研究
Get PDF不少紅學學者都認為「晴為黛影，襲為釵副」，而筆者卻認為晴雯與黛玉，襲人與寶釵，都只是在思想、性情、才貌等有一定程度的相似，並沒有構成對照的影子關係。作者運用了分階敍事，借晴雯和襲人等角色，表現出黛玉和寶釵在不同社會階層下的命運，構成具有互文作用的分身關係。《紅樓夢》運用了「以花喻人」的手法，借花語比喻角色的思想、性情和命運。不同的花喻和各個角色之間構成了互補或衝突關係，反映出大觀園中甄寶玉和賈寶玉、黛玉和寶釵、晴雯和襲人等重要人物之間的影子關係，表現出現實社會中殘酷和真實的一面。
本文將整合大觀園的群芳譜，繼而分析《紅樓夢》中的分階敍事，找出分身與影子之間的關係，最後分析《紅樓夢》的影子敍事，找出《紅樓夢》中的「花影關係」
從意象分析秋瑾詞風的轉變
Get PDF秋瑾是晚清著名的革命家及詞人，共著有詞39首。秋瑾多變的人生經歷影響她的創作，她年少時居於湖南，婚後遷往北京，後來赴日留學，而秋瑾的詞風亦從前期的婉約轉變為後期的尚武。前人一般以秋瑾赴日為分界線，把她的詞作分為前後二期，本文則稍作改變，將分界線提前，將其居於北京的時期劃歸為後期，來探討秋瑾詞風的轉變。
秋瑾前期詞的創作，主題皆圍繞大自然及少女情懷，多為兒女私情。遷到北京後的經歷燃起秋瑾的救國思想，認清國家正處於危亡之際，她藉詞表達自己救國的決心。秋瑾的救國情緒在赴日後更為熱熾，決心親身上戰場殺敵，最終為國捐軀，英勇就義時年僅33歲。
曾有學者指出秋瑾前後期詞的差異極大，令人難以相信是由同一詞人創作。但本文認為情況並不如此，本文從其詞作所使用的意象入手，來分析前後期詞的差異及一致性，藉以證明其一致性是主要的，仍屬同一詞人的創作
創傷・敘事・語言：論電影《Drive My Car》的創傷敘事
Get PDF濱口龍介近年在國際間嶄露頭角。例如為《間諜之妻》（2020）編寫劇本並獲銀獅獎、執導《偶然與想像》（2021）並獲銀熊獎、《Drive My Car》（2021）獲奧斯卡最佳國際影片及康城影展最佳劇本等。
「創傷」常出現在他的電影。近年全球籠罩在疫情的創傷中，加上日本的特殊創傷語境，兩者的對話是觀看濱口電影的切入點。創傷在日本、亞洲及世界，有不同的意義。而《Drive My Car》的「亞洲性」開拓了個新的空間去詮釋創傷。
本文將以齊澤克的「後創傷主體」及創傷敘事理論為基，配上文本細讀，解構《Drive My Car》中創傷與治癒的關係。最後將視覺拉回現實，討論電影中創傷與日本、亞洲、以至世界的關係
