In the Beginning... We Misunderstood

這是一本深刻描繪難民、家庭與戀人真實心聲的短篇散文集《The Un-Inquired》。全書由台裔美籍作家 Renee Chen 所著，這也是她的首部散文處女作。本書以溫柔卻不失沉穩的筆觸，紀錄那些在社會邊緣掙扎、努力尋找自我發聲機會的人們。故事題材廣泛且充滿情感張力：描寫槍擊事件中失去至親的創傷回憶刻劃患有思覺失調症的日裔美籍移民的幻覺世界穿梭於宛如永晝的虛幻永無島與曼哈頓的現實深夜之間融會紐約漫畫店、長崎防空洞等多元的異國時空場景全書風格在憂鬱、孤獨與深邃的內省中交織，文字如童話般夢幻卻又無比清醒。本書透過一張張廢報紙、紙飛機等生活意象，緊密連結起人與人之間的羈絆，是一部充滿詩意且直擊心靈的感性傑作。The Un-Inquired is the confession of refugees, families, and lovers who have no right to love. It chronicles the stories of those who are struggling to find their voice in society and discover themselves, recollecting their trauma and memories, from the loss of a foster brother in a shooting incident to the hallucinations of a Japanese American immigrant with schizophrenia. An antiheroic tale of finding a way to survive in a world, the collection is at times emotional and tender, at times melancholy, lonely, and wryly introspective.

The other task of political philosophy is conceptual analysis and clarification of political concepts. My research project focuses on these aspects of philosophy.
