近代士人对西方世界的观感探微——以清人张德彝八部《航海述奇》的女性观察为视点

张德彝是晚清重要的外交官,他幼年接受传统教育,青年入同文馆接受新式教育,曾先后八次到访西方各国。在此期间,他广泛地接触西方社会与文化,详细考察西方女性,逐渐从一个保守士人转变为批驳中国裹脚陋习、尊重女性的开明士人。但在对婚姻自由等女性主义运动的讨论中,他回到了保守的阵地中,体现出近代士人思想的保守性与局限性。     

Rhythm and Mobility in the Inner and Outer Hebrides: Archipelago as Art-Science Research Site

Abstract

This paper explores some of the dimensions of mobility and rhythm emerging from a voyage to the Inner and Outer Hebrides, island collectives on the North West Coast of Scotland. In the summer of 2011, this voyage, combining boat, water and islands, as well as their inhabitants, became a research site for members of Cape Farewell, an organisation that seeks to produce creative responses to climate change. Crew members specifically sought to consider the impact of climate change on island cultures and ecologies, and the sustainability and preservation initiatives deployed here, as well as broader indicators of climate change in the area. Using participant observation of the voyage and interviews, we examine the bodily experienced, rhythmic aspects of the voyage itself; that is, the aesthetics via which the spaces and places of the Inner and Outer Hebrides became known and felt. We consider especially the rhythms of nature and the sea that encompass the motility of materials that are central to a ‘politics of mobility’ that, for Cape Farewell, characterises these islands as frontiers of climate change.

荣睿、普照与鉴真东渡

唐代高僧鉴真东渡弘法传戒是应日本国使者荣睿、普照的邀请而进行的。他们的东渡,经历了常人难以想象的艰难困苦。在艰难困苦面前,邀请者与被邀请者都表现出非凡的勇气和胆略。双方执着的追求,坚定的信念,相互感染,相互激励,最终共同完成了东渡的壮举,共同谱写了一曲中日文化交流的凯歌。不少论著只讲鉴真在其中的贡献,不讲或很少讲荣睿等人的贡献,这是有失公允的。     

柯布西耶《东方游记》的跨文化叙述

柯布西耶在《东方游记》对建筑的敏锐感觉勾勒了富于异国风情的建筑、风光和文化景观,并且拓展了有关东方世界的文化思索。建筑意象是柯布西耶游记再现东方城市空间与历史的手段,而东方音乐和绘画则在艺术的层面再现了异国城市的历史深度。在此两者基础上,柯布西耶完成了一次跨文化的感知旅行和意识形态旅行。
