公共人文學--在巴西的思考

參與公共人文學的課程建設之後,我思考過很多問題,也學了不少有趣的觀點。

例如,劍橋大學新出版的期刊Public Humanities的主編(哈佛大學的Jeffrey Wilson)認為,傳統學術的生產周期太長,所以他提倡「當下主義」(presentism)。柏克萊大學的Judith Butler則認為,公共人文學不應該等同於培養公共知識分子或做知識轉移,因為大學和公眾的既有關係沒變——先有知識權威及其學術期刊,然後把它們普及,讓公眾看到「貼地」的學者及其「淺白語言」,但公眾...

Cut台:人文社科的角度

電影《一個部門的誕生》十分好看。不少人都知道,電影取材自真實事件:2014年,一個青年因無法退出某電視台的訂閱服務而持刀傷人。

我好奇:「cut唔到台」是否香港獨有的現象?問人工智能(AI),原來不是,世界各地都有類似案例。於是我找了些研究來看。

原來「cut唔到台」早有專門術語。學者常用的包括「Dark Patterns」(暗黑模式),指欺騙性的界面設計;「Roach Motel」(蟑螂屋),即容易進入、難以退出;還有「Sludge」(污泥),指企業刻意增加摩擦,阻礙用...

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),...
