【電子書】Tracing China：A Forty–Year Ethnographic Journey
Tracing China’s journey began from exploring rural revolution and reconstitutions of community in South China. Spanning decades of rural-urban divide, it finally uncovers China’s global reach and Hong Kong’s cross-border dynamics. Helen Siu traverses physical and cultural landscapes to examine political tumults transforming into everyday lives, and fathom the depths of human drama amid China’s frenetic momentum toward modernity. Highlighting complicity, Siu portrays how villagers, urbanites, cadres, entrepreneurs, and intellectuals—laden with historical baggage—venture forward. But have they victimized themselves in the process? This essay collection, informed by critical social theories and shaped by careful scrutiny of fieldwork and archival texts, is woven by key historical/anthropological themes—culture, history, power, place-making, and identity formation. Siu stresses process and contingency and argues that culture and society are constructed through human actions with nuanced meanings, moral imagination, and contested interests. Challenging the notion that social/political changes are mere linear historical progressions, she traces layers of the past in present realities.
【電子書】Voices from Tibet：Selected Essays and Reportage
Tsering Woeser and Wang Lixiong are widely regarded as the most lucid, insightful writers on contemporary Tibet. Their reportage on the economic exploitation, environmental degradation, cultural destruction and political subjugation that plague the increasingly Han Chinese-dominated Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR) is as powerful as it is profound, ardent and analytical in equal measure, and not in the least bit ideological.Voices from Tibet assembles essays and reportage in translation that capture many facets of the upheavals wrought by a rising China upon a sacred land and its pious people. With the TAR in a virtual lockdown after the 2008 unrest, this book sheds important light on the simmering frustrations that touched off the unrest and Beijing's relentless control tactics in its wake. The authors also interrogate long-standing assumptions about the Tibetans' political future.Woeser's and Wang's writings represent a rare Chinese view sympathetic to Tibetan causes. Their powerful testimony should resonate in many places confronting threats of cultural subjugation and economic domination by an external power.Having discovered her Tibetan heritage as a young adult, journalist-poet Tsering Woeser (唯色) now occupies a unique position as chronicler of modern Tibetan memory. Her writings are widely regarded as the voice of Tibet. Woeser received the Prince Claus Prize in 2011 for her compelling blend of literary quality and political reportage, as well as the International Women of Courage award by the US Department of State in 2013.World-renowned as a most vocal, vigilant observer of Chinese-Tibetan relations and ethnic minorities issues within China, Wang Lixiong (王力雄) was recognized with the Freedom of Expression Award from the Independent Chinese PEN Association. Wang’s works are widely considered some of the most authoritative and balanced on Tibetan issues by a native Chinese writer.Both are frequent commentators on Radio Free Asia
【電子書】秋柳的世界：王士禛與清初詩壇側議
本書探論清詩「一代正宗」王士禛（漁洋，1634–1711）之成名作〈秋柳詩四首〉及當時諸名家之和作。王氏之〈秋柳詩〉構成清詩創作、詮釋傳統中非常獨特的一個「小傳統」——順治十四年（丁酉，1657）秋，王氏於山東濟南大明湖賦詠〈秋柳詩〉，一時和者數十人，後之和者以百數，王氏之詩名從此鵲起。王氏?後，〈秋柳詩〉的和作仍不絕如縷，直到清末民初尚見蹤影。王氏之原唱及其和作有無「故明之思」，當時後世聚訟不休，迄今仍無定論。明湖「秋柳社詩」及其後續之再創作、詮釋、接受，允為清代文學史上重要事件。本書作者認為，在過去政治託寓的詮釋範式外，〈秋柳詩四首〉的研究尚有更豐富的文化、理論意義。本書於既有研究範式外另闢蹊徑，在詮釋、考證、理論方面均有重要突破，對清代詩學研究有開拓性的意義。
