被折疊的詞史段落 : 康熙末至乾隆初的浙西詞派與浙西詞壇
Get PDF從康熙末到乾隆初這一段時間，在以往的詞史叙述中往往被忽略掉了，而這一時段正是浙西詞派影響擴大、厲鶚在詞壇地位逐漸上升的時期。朱彝尊退出詞壇之後，柯煜、杜詔、樓儼等接續其思想，或刊刻南宋詞籍，或參與詞書修纂，或組織詩詞唱和，在京師和江南壯大了浙派的聲勢，在浙西桐鄉、平湖、海寧、海鹽、錢塘等地更出現了浙派第二、三代傳人，這時徐逢吉、吳焯、厲鶚逐漸嶄露頭角，先後在杭州、揚州、天津組織了多次詩詞唱和，成爲浙西詞壇的主盟者，厲鶚在乾隆初更以其清婉深秀的風格引領一時風尚，得到了南北詞壇的一致推崇。
The period from the Late Kangxi to the Early Qianlong Period of Qing has often been omitted in the narratives of the history of ci. However, this is the period when the Western Zhejiang School’s influence expanded and Li E’s 厲鶚 fame rose in the ci circle. After Zhu Yizun’s 朱彝尊 withdrawal from the circle, Ke Yu 柯煜, Du Zhao 杜詔, and Lou Yan 樓儼 continued his thoughts by publishing collections of ci of the Southern Song dynasty and organizing ci recitations, which strengthened the Zhejiang School’s influence in Beijing and Jiangnan. There even appeared a second or third generation of ci writers in Tongxiang, Pinghu, Haining, Haiyan, and Qiantang in the Western Zhejiang. Xu Fengji 徐逢吉, Wu Zhuo 吳焊, and Li E emerged to organize multiple ci recitations in Hangzhou, Yangzhou, and Tianjin, and they became the major figures of the Western Zhejiang School. Li E’s delicate and graceful style was particularly appreciated by both northern and southern ci circles in the early Qianlong period of Qing
American becoming : poetics, space, and race in the travel narratives of Herman Melville and Jack Kerouac
Get PDFThis dissertation examines the travel narratives of Herman Melville and Jack Kerouac arguing that these works epitomize a literary ”becoming” in American history. Being a crucial component of Gilles Deleuze’s positive ontology, this ”becoming” mirrors a multiple and constant transformation toward the minor, the marginal, and the non-white and resonates rigorously with the literature of Melville and Kerouac. The representative works by these two canonical American authors, namely, Typee: A Peep at Polynesian Life (1846) and On the Road (1957), construct aesthetic spaces in which readers are called upon to appreciate the American life of becoming-Pacific and becoming-beat. The geographical and psychological trajectories depicted in both works also allow for an ethical engagement with the Other. Drawing upon anthropology and literary criticism, I further argue that, against the background of imperial expansion and capitalistic production, both Melville and Kerouac’s narratives provide cultural insights that gesture toward an Avant-garde and futuristic cosmopolitanism
「迷霧時期」香港文學的「邊界」探索（1997-2014） : 論陳冠中、黃碧雲、韓麗珠小說中的文化身分
Get PDF臨近九七，在歷史鎂光燈的照耀下，圍繞著回歸命題的香港文學研究蔚然成風；走過2014年的社會動盪，香港文學與社會關懷的傳統課題重啟，漸成研究的焦點。然而，介乎兩者之間的一段時期，受限於好像「什麼都沒有發生」的表徵，一直未受到研究者廣泛的關注。故本文提出1997-2014年為「迷霧時期」的時間概念，結合霍米．巴巴（Homi K. Bhabha）的「邊界」（boundary）觀念，試圖相對立體地展現出這時期香港文學的發展面貌，並延伸至對文化身分（cultural identity）的思索。巴巴提出「揉雜」（hybridity）和「超越」（beyond）等概念，視「邊界」為突破傳統二元對立框架的流動文化觀念，有助我們思考文學與身分的複雜性。本文以「邊界」為方法，分別討論陳冠中、黃碧雲和韓麗珠三位代表不同年代和面向的香港當代重要作家的小說作品。陳冠中一章環繞「國籍」與「城籍」的「邊界」；黃碧雲一章聚焦「世界」與「本位」的「邊界」；韓麗珠一章關注「個人」與「社會」的「邊界」，每章各有側重的同時，共同編織橫跨三層維度的「邊界」網絡，立體地展現出「迷霧時期」香港文學的各種面向。總結是次研究所得，以「邊界」為方法有效地呈現出「迷霧時期」香港文學的發展面貌，勾勒出不同年代的作家在回歸後探尋「位置」的異同，補足了這時期香港文學研究的空白，並以文學的獨特視角，豐富對文化身分的討論。在邊緣性的文化身分的基礎上，陳冠中、黃碧雲和韓麗珠分別呈現出對回歸後香港前景的不同展望，從審慎樂觀到悲觀，立體地呈現出「迷霧時期」文化身分的複雜性
Inclusive development for social integration : a capability approach to youth-oriented Active Labour Market Policies (ALMPs)
Get PDFSub-Saharan Africa is currently experiencing a youth bulge that is expected to continue growing for a few decades. Uganda, one of the countries with the highest youth population uses an approach that emphasises education and skills development (human capital approach) alongside promoting self-employment and youth entrepreneurship in response to the labour market and employment challenges experienced by the youth. In Uganda, vocational education and training (VET), youth entrepreneurship funds, job search assistance and career guidance address unemployment and the lack of required labour market skills. However, this approach emphasises education and skills, yet the youth are treated as a homogenous cohort; hence, the risk of exclusion of some of the youth arises. The capability approach (CA) to the youth-oriented active labour market policies (ALMPs) is broader and holistic as it considers unobserved heterogeneity, capabilities and the functionings of the youth. Therefore, this study attempted to use and apply the CA to youth-oriented active labour markets for inclusive policy design and social integration. The core argument of the study is that social policy is a means to inclusive development and social integration. Through the qualitative research method, data were collected using focus group discussions and follow-up semi-structured interviews with the youth in Arua city/district in Uganda. The youth were subdivided into eight subgroups which include youth in non-standard formal employment, self-employed youth, youth in rural employment, online workers, youth in general education, youth in vocational education and training (VET), NEET (not in employment, education, or training) and Refugee youth. A total of 8 participants participated in each of the eight (08) focus groups; follow-up individual interviews consisted of 2 participants from each of the subgroups.
Research findings reveal that the high level of informality of the economy and the labour market shape the nature of labour market transitions, self-employment, work precarity and NEET. Youth entrepreneurship, the promotion of self-employment, VET, job search assistance and career guidance hardly consider the youth diversity and their voices/choices. Homogeneity, specialisation and aligning of the youth aspirations (voices/choices) with the labour market requirements are essential in expanding the functionings and capabilities of the youth for inclusive policy design and social integration. The study makes both theoretical and policy contributions. Theoretical contributions include the demonstration of how the CA can be applied to ALMPs in a highly informal labour market, proposing a framework for the application of the CA to youth labour market transition, the expansion of the active NEETs, and the notion that self-employment is a buffer against being NEETs and work instability. The policy contributions include expanding the refugee right to work policy, a call to establish labour market re-integration policies etc. Finally, the study concludes that the CA is practical and applicable in the formulation of inclusive labour market policies and understanding concepts like NEET, work precarity, self-employment and informality in the context of a developing country like Uganda

蟾蜍記憶
Get PDF一次蝌蚪的失蹤事件，一碗不尋常的湯。
家族突然開始發生一連串的事故——爸爸後背長了一顆腫瘤，族人開始生病，嫲嫲驟然離世……
親戚們甚至開始蛻變成一副蟾蜍相貌！
幼時被迫喝下奇怪湯水的我，會不會隨他們一樣，最終變態成嘔心醜陋的蟾蜍呢？
這篇小說是一個家族變異史，也是一個都市寓言故事。
因為我相信現實世界所發生的一切，遠比故事內的情節更荒謬。
城市是冰冷的，人的心也是冷漠的。在社會的大環境下，人們逐漸異化，貪婪自私的本質暴露無遺。
即便是最親近的家人，面對物質上的爭奪與搶掠，人性自私的那一面就會顯露。
「貪婪仿佛是都市人深入血髓的記憶。」
或許一天，我們也終會在社會的泥潭裡異化成一隻隻醜陋不堪蟾蜍
