讲座要点 汉字“笔”是“竹管下有毛”，单词pen则来自feather这样的鹅毛管儿；汉字“著”提示中国人曾经把字写在“草”上，单词paper则直接来自于莎草papyrus，汉字“书契”记录的是“刻”，单词write词源义也是“刻”……看来人类的书写符号系统有着很多一致性的东西。如果把这些一致性的内容揭示好，解释好，应该能够让汉语第二语言学习者进一步增强汉字自我学习和习得的能力。 本次讲座以对比语义学的视角，阐释在印欧语环境下进行汉字教学的一些基本思路，通过具体例证，沟通人类文字符号之间的共通性理据，展示如何有效提升学生兴趣，增强学习动机，进而增强学习效果。 Key points of the lecture The Chinese character 笔 bǐ means „there are hairs under the bamboo tube”, whilst the English word “pen“ derives from the Latin […]

The lecture will be held in Chinese. 乡村曾被视为中国社会与文化的基础，在近代改称“农村”后，逐渐被认为出了问题。农村怎样成为“问题”及其所成的“问题”本身，既伴随着中国现代性展开的进程，也因其间的“现代”眼光所生成。这背后的一个要因，是城市的兴起和城乡的对立。由于城市被视为国家的主体，原来作为广土众民代表的乡村逐渐沦为化外，不复能表述自己。在五四后出现一种读书人想要了解自己国家的倾向，先是开始关注已近于未知的农村，观感褒贬参半；接着是被关注者逐渐问题化，见解贬多于褒；最后是问题化的农村升级为“破产”或“崩溃”，表述以贬为主。其间一个重要特点，是一些人因缺乏了解而把常态看成变态，甚至把国家整体的危难移植到农村身上。 This lecture is […]

The lecture will be held in Chinese. 近代中國保守思想家中至少可以區分成兩類，第一類是本能地反對任何改變現狀的思想，第二類是回到一個重要的思想基盤（如宋明理學、大乘佛學）上戰鬥。在這次演講中，我想討論第二類思想家，以宋育仁（1859-1931）、熊十力（1885-1968）、唐文治（1865-1954）、劉咸炘（1896-1932）、錢穆（1895-1990）等人為例，討論一個思想史上的問題：當晚清以來的新派一直在變的時候，反對或批評他們的人，其實也一直在變換他們的言論，同時也變換他們對傳統的解釋，以便對應挑戰。 此外，我在比較仔細地審視他們的思路之後，認為他們不只是「回到本來」的樣子，而是有一個微妙的新創過程。譬如他們有時候會用「提高一格法」，把儒家思想，尤其是宋明理學，作一種新的調整、詮釋。借用卡夫卡的話：「當你凝視深淵時，深淵也在凝視你」。 This lecture […]
