亞洲另一個特區
近日，我到印尼日惹（Yogyakarta）的加查馬達大學（Universitas Gadjah Mada，UGM）開會，跟亞洲各地的人文社科學者交流學習。
出發前看資料，我才知道日惹是印尼的一個特區（Special Region of Yogyakarta），也是印尼擁有最密集大學的文化藝術之都。在街上，我看到很多衣著打扮極西化的大學生，也有很多包頭巾的女性在電單車上奔馳。
香港也是特區，也是高等教育中心。我想，香港人跟日惹人聊天，或許可以得到一些啟發。
頗令我意外的是...
留下的創造力
中大公共人文學課程搞了一個活動，叫University and the Public: Staying with Our Common Concerns（大學與公眾：與我們的共同關切同在），有幸邀得著名的項飆教授（曾為牛津大學教授，現為德國馬克斯．普朗克社會人類學研究所所長）短留一天，跟中大同事和同學交流。
看過項飆短片和訪問的人，大概都知道他關注中國內地青年的懸浮生活和不安感，建議從「附近」出發──不是指固定的社區，而是指由自身出發、最日常的幾百米──去開展思考自我和他人...
在清水灣談哈伯馬斯─訪問谷淑美
德國思想家哈伯馬斯（Jürgen Habermas）去世後，我想起了文化社會學家谷淑美。
哈氏有一個著名的概念——「公共領域」（public sphere）。歷史上，西歐曾經出現過一些咖啡館和沙龍，推動了歷史的發展；但後來因為體制力量的介入與媒體消費主義等因素，這些空間所孕育的溝通與批判精神逐漸萎縮。
哈氏思考和寫作的時空，是1950至1960年代作為美蘇冷戰前線的西德。當時的社會中，有許多剛經歷二戰的納粹黨員（在冷戰對抗蘇聯的情勢下，他們獲美國留任以繼續治理德國社會），...
祖母的肩膀
入場前，本以為賀歲片《金多寶》會像80年代港產片《富貴逼人》般，講天降橫財。但看戲時，我首先想起的卻是2003年的德國電影《再見列寧！》（Goodbye, Lenin!）。
《再見列寧！》講述一個兒子努力欺瞞母親，源於她在東德時代昏迷，卻在西德時代醒來，醫生說如果她發現東德已被吞併，會受不住刺激，所以兒子努力重塑家居佈置，去構築一個「東德」的幻覺給母親。《金多寶》亦類似，都是兒女以謊言來表達對長輩的愛，而同樣地，兩套電影的長輩都不是被欺瞞的老糊塗，知道真相卻沒拆穿。
但看...
拾趣力
最近，跟長沙灣咖啡室 Thirsty 的咖啡師阿立聊天，談起不少人說文科無用。
「文科無用，但有趣。中學生在作選擇的時候，也早已思考過，做了心理準備吧？」
阿立的話提醒了我兩點：一，與其局限於討論某事物有用還是無用，又或有甚麼「無用之用」，不如索性跳出「用」這概念，轉而去思考它帶來的「趣」；二，除了泛泛而論某些知識有何實用價值，不如轉向現象本身——選讀文科，其實是某群年輕人的嚴肅選擇，在思考了自己的性格和未來後，把「趣」置於「用」之上去度過幾年人生。
阿立是中文大學日本...
