中国大陆与港台地区医学院校人文素质教育的比较

在医学人文素质教育方面,中国大陆与香港、台湾地区相比各具特色。中国大陆医学人文素质教育起步比香港、台湾地区晚一些,但发展迅速。中国大陆在某些方面还存在差距：没有医学人文素质教育统一的专门机构;各院校课程开设自主、不统一;高素质医学人文教师相对不足,来源和专业背景单一。     

‘Ink Art’ as strategy for Hong Kong institutions

Abstract

In both their wider cultural dimensions and the institutional practices they stem from, the practices of ink art in Hong Kong manifest themselves in a variety of discourses ranging from the ‘traditionalism’ of the conservative nativists to the ‘contemporaneity’ of artists and institutions often identified as being closer to ‘Western’ culture. Even though the most influential discourse about ink art in Hong Kong has clearly been produced by official institutions, like the future museum of visual culture called M+ and the already existing Museum of Art, it has also been profoundly influenced by private associations whose influence has been far reaching. The most visible of these private associations in Hong Kong is the Ink Society, whose founding members and their affiliates and friends have played a central role in the early debate about the nature of ink art in the history of local arts. Through an analysis of a failed attempt by the Ink Society to bid for the right to manage a historical site, this paper attempts to unravel some of the ideas that support the notion of ink art in Hong Kong.     

Abandoned negatives,Themeless Parks: images of contemporary China in two photographic projects

Abstract

This article juxtaposes two photographic projects to illustrate ways of perceiving everyday space in contemporary China: on the one hand, ‘Silvermine Project’ (2009–2013), by French collector and editor Thomas Sauvin, recycles a vast collection of abandoned film negatives from the 1980s to the early 2000s, and subsequently ‘curates’ these amateur images into the frame of a quasi-ethnographic approach. On the other hand, Hong Kong photographer Dustin Shum’s ‘Themeless Parks’ (2008) presents a series images of public parks in Chinese cities and towns. The two projects propose different readings of the ‘postsocialist’ condition in contemporary China. While the domestic shots curated by Sauvin actively mobilise individual and national identities in private and public spaces, Shum’s compositions of shape, colour and architectural density reveal a highly orchestrated ‘China’ that pre-empts the emergence of an individual identity. This paper analyses the textual articulations of individuality, space, and temporality in the two projects.     

Discursive opportunity structures in post-handover Hong Kong localism: the China factor and beyond

The discourses of localism have been redefining the political spectrum, cultural practices, and identity politics of Hong Kong. A growing body of literature considers how China’s domination has fueled the rise of localism in Hong Kong. Drawing on the content and textual analyses of news media and other empirical evidence, this article scrutinizes the opportunity structure in post-handover Hong Kong to show that it facilitates the formation of localist discourses. It situates the localism of Hong Kong as the response to the social changes and China’s encroachment on the city in the post-handover years. Specifically, it focuses on the emergence of progressive localism prior to the recent deterioration of the China–Hong Kong relationship, the radicalization of social movements, and the continuing effects of critical post-handover events in Hong Kong. The study re-conceptualizes the localism of Hong Kong from the central–peripheral tension arising from China’s hegemony to the dynamic discursive formation of an evolving post-colonial city.     

More coverage is less confidence? Media portrayal of “one country,two systems” in Hong Kong

This article tracks the trend of Hong Kong people’s confidence in the idea of “one country, two systems” and identifies various factors affecting its level. It also examines newspaper coverage of “one country, two systems” over the past 20 years and how it is related to people’s confidence level. Five variables, namely trust in the SAR government, the government’s performance, societal appraisal, press freedom, and confidence in China’s and Hong Kong’ s future are found to be related to people’s confidence in and newspapers’ coverage of “one country, two systems.” Newspapers have used various approaches to frame the situation over the past two decades. When there was more news coverage, there seemed to be less confidence. The oxymoronic nature of “one country, two systems” is explicated in the context of Hong Kong.     

对郁达夫、萧红小说创作的再认识

郁达夫作为创造社的干将与从东北作家群走出的萧红不论是人生经历还是各自的小说创作都有明显的区别,但与此同时也存在着相通之处:坎坷困苦的人生经历使得两位作家都将小说创作的视点集中在对人的生存困境的关注方面;他们都与鲁迅有着深厚的友谊,小说创作也都得到了鲁迅的肯定,并程度不同地受到了鲁迅的政治观与文艺观的影响;他们在小说创作上具有相似的美学追求,在小说的艺术表现上也都具有散文化、抒情化和绘画化的特征。他们的前期小说创作都得到了进步作家的肯定,但随着时代的发展,两位作家依照自身对人生的理解进行的创作却招致了众多的批评和否定。     

从赵姨娘形象看等级制度与专制制度对人性的扭曲

《红楼梦》中的赵姨娘是一个既可怜又可恶的人物。可怜之处在于她深受宗法等级制度和家长专制制度的欺凌压迫,可恨之处在于她又是这个制度的认同者和维护者。她自己被入欺,又强烈地渴望欺人,在这个人物身上,主性和奴性都很鲜明。曹雪芹通过这个人物形象揭露了化育这种人性的等级制度和专制制度的罪恶。只要这种制度存在,“赵姨娘性”就会存在。

汤亭亭作品中的文化身份问题探讨

汤亭亭的《女勇士》、《中国佬》、《孙行者》三部小说分别从华裔神话、英雄史诗与族群寓言三个方面表达了作者对于文化身份的诉求:将中国传统文化与华裔的实际生活相结合,创造出华裔自己的文化,要求真正成为美国多元文化社会中的一分子。汤亭亭的文化身份观在整个华裔文学史中有着重要意义。     

港台地区大学通识教育的发展及其启示

港台地区大学开展通识教育有着各自的经济和政治背景,形成了港台地区高教界若干具有代表性的通识教育理念。如今港台地区的大学通识教育呈现出多样化的局面,无论是机构设置还是课程内容、选修方式等,各校都有各自的特色。通过着重介绍香港中文大学与台湾大学两所学校实施通识教育的近况,借鉴其通识教育经验,内地大学应当具有更多办学自主权,加强通识教育的师资建设和理论研究。
