The 2010s have seen an explosion in popularity of Chinese television featuring same-sex intimacies, LGBTQ-identified celebrities, and explicitly homoerotic storylines even as state regulations on “vulgar” and “immoral” content grow more prominent. This emerging “queer TV China” culture has generated diverse, cyber, and transcultural queer fan communities. Yet these seemingly progressive televisual productions and practices are caught between multilayered sociocultural and political-economic forces and interests.Taking “queer” as a verb, an adjective, and a noun, this volume counters the Western-centric conception of homosexuality as the only way to understand nonnormative identities and same-sex desire in the Chinese and Sinophone worlds. It proposes an analytical framework of “queer/ing TV China” to explore the power of various TV genres and narratives, censorial practices, and fandoms in queer desire-voicing and subject formation within a largely heteropatriarchal society. Through ex

AVM 與智慧製造的火花相遇32 年前，個人開始協助臺灣製造業導入作業成本管理制度（ABCM），設計製造業的 ABCM 過程中，最大的困 擾是無法快速簡易地搜集到工單或產品之設備、直接人工等之「原因」資訊，例如：時間、品質及產能等資訊。一般來說，設備之時間資訊大都儲存在「硬體」的機台裡， 如何將硬體、軟體及後來研發之 AVM 結合成一體，成為我的一大夢想。 每當為製造業設計 AVM 時，個人總是絞盡腦汁思考如何解決三者之整合課題，盡速讓夢想成真。皇天不負苦心人，6 年前協助町洋企業設計 AVM 制度時，吳上財董事 長表示，他公司長期發展的 iO-GRID 可以解決 AVM 在製 造業，尤其是中小型或微型製造業的資料搜集問題，我聽了喜出望外，更令人欣喜的是，町洋企業願意鼎力相助， 以最經濟實惠的方式來實現我的理想。讓我尤為感動的是， 吳董事長深具使命感，樂意將自己長期發展之創新技術，分享資源極為匱乏的臺灣中小型和微型製造業，讓他們也能夠達成數位轉型及升級之目的。 迎來智慧製造時代，臺灣企業紛紛投入資源「轉型」 及「升級」為工業 4.0 的企業，然而長期以來僅專注於「硬 體設備」的更新，忽略了「軟體」及「管理制度」的升級， 而中小型企業及微型企業受限於資源不足，對「智慧製造」 的領域只能望而興嘆。個人長期以臺灣的中小型企業作為 研究對象，深刻理解中小型企業的困境，尤其近年增添了 全球的競爭壓力及景氣不確定的因素，如今已來到不得不 生產升級及數位轉型的存亡之際。常言道：「危機即轉機」， 這兩年多來，個人率領團隊與町洋企業合作，透過各機台之感測器或控制器，輸入「類比資料」，以人機介面（Human Machine Interface, HMI）為媒介，輸出各機台的相關資訊到 町洋企業所開發之 iO-GRID 之中，由於 iO-GRID 儲存很多 「類比資訊」，因而需要運用邊緣運算（Edge computing） 技術將「類比資訊」轉換成「量化資訊」，這是智慧製造 最基本的資料搜集方法。町洋企業提供的簡易解決方案， 正好可以解決 AVM 對於「原因資料」搜集的難題，可以根 據如機台及直接人工等時間、品質及產能等原因資訊，迅速計算出「即時」的工單或產品之實際成本、品質成本及 產能成本等資訊，做為製造主管從事各種管理決策之參考依據。親眼目睹管理會計的 AVM 與智慧製造相融相合，迸

這是一個「過度連結」的時代。耗損心神的社群網路、大量資訊，以及人際關係。其中，有多少是我們真正需要的？「離線練習」新生活運動不是要你與世隔絕，而是不讓社群網路消耗心靈，從心連結真正重要的人、重要的事。＃戒斷「手機成癮症」、「連結疲乏症」無時無刻，我們的心神因為與人產生連結而耗弱，因為龐大的資訊襲來而疲乏，卻不由自主地頻頻滑手機。終於，開始有人對「手機成癮症」敲響警鐘。因為…..1 自由時間變少了，無法活在當下現代人使用電腦或手機上網的時間，每天平均達5-6小時。即便不上網，依然心繫大家對貼文的反應及留言，以至無論工作或生活，皆無法「活在當下」。大家把貼文當成工作，導致沒有危機感地讓SNS(社群網路)完全占據生活。2 無法自在貼文隨著追蹤數增加、知名度提高後，大家就無法再像從前那樣自在貼文了。即便大家已經謹言慎行，但一個不小心，依然有可能遭到批評，甚至被網友群起砲轟。原本最喜歡的SNS變成一種麻煩，於是越來越不想碰。3 不適應「虛擬世界」不得罪人的場面話、無傷大雅的小謊言、讓自己顯得更完美的做法……作者逐漸對這種「大人的世故」感到厭煩。在網路上難以建立「真實的關係」，Facebook中充斥著這種表裡不一的假象、IG上看到的畫面並不真實等，也找不到為此注入龐大心力的意義。＃社群網路服務(SNS，Social Networking Service)本書說的SNS是社群網路服務，主要用在幫助擁有相同興趣與活動的人群，建立社會性網路的互聯網應用服務。讓大家互相聯繫、交流，比如電子郵件、即時消息等。目前世界上有許多，較為大家熟知的有Facebook、Messenger、Instagram、iMessage、Line、微信、抖音、微博、百度貼吧、知乎等。＃《脫離SNS才領悟到的「六大好處」》1 時間變多了2 內心從容有餘3 朋友名單去蕪存菁4 重新調整「認同需求」5 直覺敏銳，靈光乍現6 活力充沛，幹勁十足＃《不必急著徹底排毒，漸進式戒斷》要SNS斷捨離，必須循序漸進。故本書第1章至第5章的「離線練習」中，除了介紹不與「SNS」、「資訊」、「人際關係」連結的方法，也會介紹如何擺脫「常識」束縛、甩開「負面情緒」的方法。而第6章至第7章的「上線練習」中，則分別介紹與「內心」、「重要人事物」產生連結的方法。＃SNS斷捨離，首先可以練習以下三步驟：步驟1：限制時間：例如：起手式可以是起床
