奄美「返還」的影響與冷戰初期的中華民國自我定位

古蹟保存之修復論述中再提出技術這一疑旨結構的主要意義，是為了意圖重新釐清古蹟保存與修復的真義，以及重新建立對於古蹟保存修復技術之實踐主體性的認識。更確切而言，它將指涉古蹟之保存修復論述的技術形構為何？本文認為，古蹟保存修復的論述實踐可說是基於「創新使用」的技術史，涉及的是技術的選擇與使用。概因保存修復技術所面對的處理對象－古蹟，既不是必然存在或生成的事物，亦非其存在或生成是由於自然作用的事物，而是可改變和可製作的事物；這種「實踐－造物」導向的技術本質，旨在製作的反思活動，是一種「造物」與「產生新知識」相結合的過程。這樣的技術建構，關乎的是「知的方法」，而不必然是創造新知識或新事物的方法。是故，與其稱之為技術，或許稱之為「技術產物」更為適當；它就如同古蹟的存在一樣，是特定之社會文化條件的意識形態脈絡下的產物。

[[abstract]] 自殺是種行為上的錯誤嗎？如果是，那要不要處罰？又該如何給予處罰？自殺是種心智上的疾病嗎？如果是，就不該被處罰，而應該給予醫治—包括限制個人行動自由的「醫療」過程；反正，自殺不是罪、就是病，「預防」就成了重要的工作。不管是處罰、醫療或預防都需要先解決一個問題： “Why people kill themselves?” 以上是所有討論自殺議題的書籍文獻的中心議題，更準確地說，我們應該在前句的「自殺議題」前加上「西洋社會的」五個字。但是在中國傳統社會中，「自殺」是個議題嗎？它需要被處罰、醫療或預防？老實說，我們不知道。不過可以確定的事，現今台灣社會有個經由政府公定的民俗假日—端午節，是為了紀念一位「自殺者」。 為了尋求上述疑問的解答，本文作者由古籍記載下手。由所收集的資料的排比分析後，本文發現中國傳統社會看待自殺的「眼光」，實有別於西洋社會。當時人們在面對必須做「存生」或「取死」抉擇的情境下，一切都得自行判斷。本文亦發現中國傳統社會最高的政治與意見領袖—皇帝，他運用自殺作為鞏固權威的手段，在此情況下使得針對「自殺」行為本身的負面論述不可能公開存在。 這是中國傳統社會的特殊狀況嗎？作為一位具有反思能力的現代人，或許不應排除另一個可能，那就是西洋社會對自殺的禁制態度，或許僅是人類社會歷史長流中的一個特例

The purpose of this study, based on the author’s personal experiences of disjuncture in her professional career, is to explore reasons for the employment promotion measures’ failure to improve the career situation of persons with severe disabilities. Drawing upon institutional ethnography, the author portrayed the actors involved in the process, and analyzed factors influencing those actors’ decisions. The aim is to disclose why, even with so many employment promotion measures, persons with disabilities are still trapped in low-paid and low-skilled jobs. The author argued in her analysis that：(1) the government, the education and the professional system promote an image of hard-working citizens and they persuade families with children with disabilities to make decisions meeting this social expectation;(2) due to the lack of and/or the unaffordable social services, those families work hard to follow the arrangement by schools and professionals;(3) the experts and professionals influe...

隨著地下文物的出土，尤其是簡帛佚籍的發現，使得思想史的研究得以展開新頁。如過去學者所討論的「五行」，對於《荀子．非十二子》中「案往舊造說，謂之五行」的批評，受於資料限制，往往不得其解。等到馬王堆帛書與郭店楚簡〈五行〉篇出土後，這問題才得到大致的解決，並抽繹出儒學中，子思、孟子一系的發展。郭店楚簡另有一篇〈太一生水〉，其蘊含的宇宙生成、名實關係、天地形狀與古老的自然、數術觀念，俱與道家學說有相通之處。本文便取先秦至前漢的道家典籍加以比較，尤其是《老子》一書，最後並歸結其思考模式的特色，以期能對當時道家思想的樣貌有更深一層認識。

This study investigated early and recent news reports on typhoons and typhoon-related disasters released by United Daily News from the perspectives of language construction, core meanings, and reporting trends. This study collected news reports from January 1, 1986 to December 31, 1996, and from January 1, 2006 to December 31, 2016, representing early and recent news respectively. The study employed text mining and frame analysis methods and studied the ＂frame＂ difference of news media over the past three decades. An analysis of the language construction of the news reports revealed that, concerning the subject of social communication, recent typhoon reports often utilized opinions from different social ＂actors＂ to increase the conflicts and violations of norms and human rights. From early to recent period, it is found that news frame are transiting from the early ＂response to nature＂ to the recent ＂response to society＂. The former focuses on the information transmission of natural ...

從規範佛教而言，佛教戒律中不贊同修道者歌舞倡伎以影響道心，但是佛教 傳至明清時期卻扭轉了這種規範性的認知，確實看見了大傳統與小傳統的不同。 不論從唐代的《洛陽伽藍記》描述佛教寺院中有戲臺的影子，到了明清版畫中也 能看到寺院搭起戲臺表演俗劇。除了戲臺外，還出現佛道融合的儀軌例如「破地 獄」，將表演與儀式結合，表現出的文化現象。在佛教戒律中禁止歌舞倡伎，但 是在寺院外卻搭起戲臺歌唱世俗情愛，這種佛教與民間衝擊的弔詭現象，現在佛 教研究的學術界甚少討論，因此希望藉由本文作為一個開端，使未來更多人關注 佛教音樂的研究。 本文欲透過文本分析、圖片考證，整理中國佛寺戲臺以及明清佛教戲劇與儀 式的資料，試圖歸納過去佛寺戲臺搬演及紀錄，還有現存佛寺戲臺的遺址。並且 列出明清時期佛教相關戲曲，乃至於佛教故事表演如何與儀式結合進行探討。希 望透過這兩個層面，概述明清佛教寺院戲劇與儀式的形態。

This article is an attempt to explore how scholarly doctors perceived and treated ”demonic affliction” in Ming-Qing China. In the recent past certain medical historians claimed that the classic Chinese medicine is a ”rationalized” medical system primarily based on naturalistic explanations of illness and methods of treatment. To me, this viewpoint is only partly true. In fact, shamanistic exorcism and religious healings have never been excluded completely from Chinese medicine throughout the ages. The ritual therapies of zhouyou 祝由 and zhoujin 咒禁 have even become a part of the official medical education since the Tang until the late Ming. It is therefore my interest to examine if the scholarly doctors in the later ages employed any ritual therapy of this kind, particularly in the cases of ”demonic affliction”. To begin with, my article introduces a category of illnesses, namely, xiesui (literally trans. ”evil influences”) as recorded in Ming-Qing medical writings. Some doctors inter...

If the editor-in-chief of a Taiwanese academic journal receives papers filled with numerical data, equations, and tables submitted by European or American scholars, he/she would likely publish them without hesitation. The same mentality characterizes Indian, Pakistani and African academic journals, when they receive and publish Taiwanese papers. In particular, the titles of these papers are decorated with buzz words, such as cloud computing, electronics, smart capital, and elderly nursing homes, etc. As for American periodicals, it is because they charge an expensive publication fee. This study reveals that these papers share common numerical research results, some of which are self-contradictory. In addition, they usually cite Taiwanese master-degree thesis or self-citing controversial papers. International journals treat these papers with the mindset of reading Taiwanese experiences. However, with the advances in Internet communication and the diffusion of intellectual knowledge, third-world scholars will eventually find such papers controversial. These low-quality papers not only convey false knowledge, but also spread an improper mode of massproducing publications and academic misconduct.
