從論述（莎）戲曲而思考莎能樂和莎新劇，不但開創戲曲研究的新視野，也是跨文化劇場別開生面的重要著作！附36張精彩劇照。本書乃作者嘗試超越傳統戲曲考述格局，修正較具系統性的理論，以分析戲曲的內涵。同時在「莎戲曲」（Shake-xiqu）已有的研究成果上，進一步思考臺灣跨文化劇場的發展。全書有三個重點：一是運用布魯姆（Harold Bloom）「影響的焦慮」（the anxiety of influence）和詩學誤讀理論，結合高友工「抒情美典」（Lyrical aesthetics）理論，探討戲曲的互文與抒情呈現。期能以紅樓戲為例，建構經典的意義。二是以弘彼（Richard Hornby）的後設戲劇（metadrama）理念為基礎，重新評量自宋、元至今的戲曲作品，為何及如何表現後設的視域。三是從「莎戲曲」出發，觀察「莎能樂」（Shake-noh）及「莎新劇」（Shake-shingeki）的文本結構與表演特色。借鑑他山之石，以展望臺灣傳統戲曲的未來。庶幾可以提供戲曲研究與跨文化劇場創作之參考。※36張精彩劇照：上田（宗片）邦義教授、栗田芳宏導演、末松美知子教授、Li Lan Yong（楊麗蘭）教授、國立傳統藝術中心國光劇團、當代傳奇劇場吳興國老師與林秀偉老師、榮興客家採茶劇團等提供劇照(特別致謝)

面對至親至愛的離去，如果悲傷難免，我們可以做些什麼，度過這場巨大風暴？ ★　紐約時報、華爾街日報，各大媒體溫暖推薦★　露西博士「復原力」TED演講（The three secrets of resilient people），為該年度最受歡迎的影片之一 ▍一個心理學家的悲傷修復之旅 ▍露西博士是研究「復原力心理學」的專家，2010年時幫助紐西蘭基督城地震的居民走出傷痛。但當她經歷了12歲愛女車禍身亡時，她不確定過往的復原力研究能否幫助自己走出喪親之痛。 她決定進行調查，但不同以往的是，她調查的對象是自己，並剖析、記錄自身的身心變化。在這本書中，她將自己的無助脆弱，赤裸呈現。那些反覆交錯的情緒，時而困惑、時而憤怒，有時沮喪，有時又感到寬慰的日子裡，即使被巨大悲傷包覆，仍能採取一些行動，找回面對生活的力量。 ▍悲傷沒有一體適用的方法，但我們仍能積極處理它 ▍過去，研究喪親之痛的專家認為，化解悲傷沒有人人通用的方法，也沒有具體的復原時間表，似乎隨著時間推移，就會「慢慢地」好起來。 但真正經歷過這一切的露西博士發現，這些看似合理的建議，卻與真實情況存在著巨大的差異。在現實生活裡，可能沒有充裕的時間讓人慢慢復原，也許其他家人需要你的照顧，也許為了經濟考量必須立即投入工作，這時該怎麼辦？ 於是，在她展開自我的復原之路時，刻意採用已知的復原力策略，積極化解悲傷，讓自己能重新振作，找回生活的掌控權。 ▍關於悲傷，復原力心理學能教我們的事 ▍有什麼方法，可以幫助人們更快走出喪親之痛？什麼樣的人，可以比別人復原得更快？哪些行為和思維，可以幫助幫助我們熬過痛苦？ 在這本書裡，「復原力心理學」將成為每個人都能善加運用的個人資源，讓你在痛苦無助時，可以採取正面積極的行動，重拾「正常的」生活。 ››››››››››››››››››››››››››››››› 這本書不是關於你可能會經歷什麼，而是關於你可以做些什麼，帶你以不悲傷的方式，走過悲傷的過程。露西博士希望透過她的文字力量，讓每一顆破碎的心，得以修復。 *選擇生命，而不是死亡。不要因為你已經失去的，而失去了你現在所擁有的。*知道做什麼都不能改變一切，這就是學習處理和面對喪親之痛的關鍵步驟。*不要低估此時體驗和
