[iCONADA Research Team] Nicholson in the Panopticon of Data: The “Invisible Saito” of the Platform Age and the Alienation of Creators

Introduction: A Psychological Paradox Across Time

In the 1957 classic film The Bridge on the River Kwai, the fate of Colonel Nicholson constitutes a grand metaphor for “discipline and self-loss.” Confronted by Colonel Saito, who embodies the authoritarianism of Japanese militarism and military command, Nicholson gradually transforms from a rebel determined to defend his dignity to the bridge’s most zealous builder and guardian. Trapped by professional pride and an…

Xi Jinping mahu pecahkan ‘klik akademik’: Apa kesannya terhadap industri kreatif China?

Seruan Presiden China, Xi Jinping, supaya budaya “klik akademik” dan “kelompok tertutup” dalam dunia penyelidikan dibanteras mungkin pada mulanya kelihatan sebagai isu yang hanya berkaitan dengan universiti dan institusi penyelidikan.

Namun, jika prinsip yang sama diperluaskan kepada bidang kebudayaan dan industri kreatif, kesannya boleh…

劉華傑:雜草襯托著我們的文明 中

帶有貶義的雜草,竟然是文明的伴生物?「天地不仁,以萬物為芻狗。」本來各種植物在價值上沒有分別,人以人的眼光,而且是近視的眼光來審視它們,才有了分別。一些植物被判定為有用,甚至價值連城,比如海南黃花梨(降香黃檀);一些植物被判定為無用,對人有危害或影響莊稼生長,需要鏟除或抑制。於是,哪裡有文明哪裡就有雜草,有什麼樣的文明就有什麼樣的雜草。「有害」雜草是無法消滅的,罵、割、砍、燒、挖等招法盡管使用,除草劑盡管噴灑,到頭來雜草依舊,甚至越來越昌盛。其實,是我們所追求的東西培育了雜草,導致其引入、變異、進化、傳播。人類發動的戰爭,也會打破大自然的局部平衡,從而影響到雜草的枯榮、進退。文明與雜草協同演變,人類對雜草似乎永遠是愛恨交加。其實,退一萬步講,雜草如病毒,不需要消滅(也滅不乾淨),只需要和平共處。…

[愛墾研創] 習近平:破除「學閥」和「圈子文化」,如何影响文創産業?

中國主席習近平近日提出破除「學閥」和「圈子文化」雖然首先針對理工科與基礎科學研究,但其核心邏輯是反對「資源壟斷、近親繁殖、論資排輩和頭銜迷信」。這一風向向文化創意、藝術設計及人文社科領域(簡稱文創領域)延伸,將帶來以下顯著影響: [1, 2, 3]

  1. 衝擊文創界的「寫閥」、「畫閥」現象

打破山頭與圈子:在文創與藝術界,長期存在特定的「名家大老」帶著門生弟子占盡展覽資源、講座席位、政府采购、國家藝術基金等行業通道的現象。官方整治「學閥」將直接震懾文創行會(如作家協會、美術協會、設計學會)及高校文創專業中的「隱性壟斷」。…

[iCONADA Research Team] Xi Jinping’s Push to Break Up Academic Cliques: What Could It Mean for China’s Cultural and Creative Industries?

Chinese President Xi Jinping’s recent call to dismantle entrenched academic hierarchies and “circle culture” was directed primarily at engineering, technology and basic scientific research. At its core, however, the campaign challenges a broader set of practices: the concentration of resources in the hands of established networks,…

陳明發:談時間

談時間,一般人談的是線型時間,「2025年,存在於2026年前一年」這樣的概念。而往往演變成前者是因,後者是果的關係。



所謂的「前因後果」。




若時間是粒狀,它們便可能獨立存在。自圓自足,例如不少談某某民族英雄的大敘事,往往便是這樣處理。




若粒子是流動的,它們彼此撞上却是可能的。




衝撞演變成事件,它便是一個現象。…

歷史的「劇本殺」:後真相時代裡的海登·懷特

歷史的「劇本殺」:後真相時代裡,海登·懷特(Hayden White,1928-2018)的幽靈與敘事反噬



引言:當歷史成為可以選擇的「情節」




在當代大眾文化的語境中,「劇本殺」或角色扮演遊戲已經成為一種日常。玩家走進一個預設的時空,根據手上的線本,將零碎的線索拼湊成一個符合自身邏輯的故事。然而,這種「敘事編織」的體驗早已溢出了娛樂邊界,成為當今政治、媒體與社會輿論的運作本質。…

[愛墾研創]斷裂與銜接:從「南宗北鄧」看海峽兩岸的美學超越與文化恆久

[愛墾研創]斷裂與銜接:從「南宗北鄧」看海峽兩岸的美學超越與文化恆久



海峽兩岸的政治歷史,是一部充滿地緣張力與意識形態拉鋸的斷代史。然而,在喧囂的政治博弈背後,卻有一條靜水流深的文化脈絡從未真正斷絕。



正所謂:政治的矛盾是局部的、變動的,但美學所追求的「真」與「美」,以及兩岸文史學者對自身文化脈絡的關懷,是恆久的。」



這種跨越時空與意識形態的文化韌性,在中國現代美學大師鄧以蟄等人著作的跨海傳播與詮釋中,得到了最為生動的體現。




一、禁錮時期的地下幽光:美學的剛性需求…

威廉・赫茲里特(William Hazlitt):為何遠方之物令人悅目 5

「一個能夠憑藉記憶,畫出一幅尚算逼真的肖像畫的人,通常會被視為一位出色的畫家,而且具有非凡的才華。

「不僅如此,視覺觀念並不精確,還有一項格外明顯的證據:即使人的面容就在眼前,要忠實地捕捉其真正的相貌,也是一項高度精湛的藝術,需要多年的實踐才能達成。

「即使排除了為了奉承而故意美化、欺騙的情況,我們仍然可以發現:即使是最優秀的畫家,在極少數情況下,才能真正畫出一幅與活生生的人物完全相稱的肖像;而在這個嘗試中,既有長期的訓練,又有高度的興趣共同參與其中。…
