The Loss of Java

聚焦二十世紀末至二十一世紀初回應愛滋危機的美國文學，探討悲傷如何在文本中被書寫、處理，並進一步形塑性別與性向認同。作者以佛洛伊德精神分析為理論基礎，細讀多部關鍵作品，分析「哀悼」與「憂鬱」如何成為理解文本秩序與斷裂的關鍵。書中討論Edmund White、Michael Cunningham、Eve Sedgwick等作者的作品，並延伸至ACT UP Oral History Project的口述歷史檔案，呈現同志書寫與後現代詩學之間的交織。本書指出，文本不僅反映身分，也參與身分的生成與鞏固，對同志文學研究、酷兒理論與愛滋再現提供重要觀點。This book discusses the significance of late twentieth century and early twenty first century American fiction written in response to the AIDS crisis and interrogates how sexual identity is depicted and constructed textually. Pearl develops Freudian psychoanalytic theory in a complex account of the ways in which grief is expressed and worked out in literature, showing how key texts from the AIDS crisis by authors such as Edmund White, Michael Cunningham, Eve Sedgwick – and also, later, the archives of The ACT UP Oral History Project - lie both within the tradition of gay writing and a postmodernist poetics. The book demonstrates how literary texts both expose and construct personal identity, how they expose and produc

Yiyun Li's remarkable, defiant work of radical acceptance as she considers the loss of her son James. "There is no good way to say this," Yiyun Li writes at the beginning of this book. "There is no good way to state these facts, which must be acknowledged . . . My husband and I had two children and lost them both: Vincent in 2017, at sixteen, James in 2024, at nineteen. Both chose suicide, and both died not far from home." There is no good way to say this--because words fall short. It takes only an instant for death to become fact, "a single point in a time line." Living now on this single point, Li turns to thinking and reasoning and searching for words that might hold a place for James. Li does what she can: doing "things that work," including not just writing but gardening, reading Camus and Wittgenstein, learning the piano, and living thinkingly alongside death. This is a book for James, but it is not a book about grieving or mourning. As Li writes, "The verb that does not die is '

Over a span of 260 years, from 630 to 894, Japanese embassies to Tang China (ken-Tō shi) played a vital role in importing Tang governance and culture to Japan, significantly shaping the political and cultural landscape of an emerging Japanese state with codes of law (ritsuryō). However, the seventeenth embassy during the Jōwa period, fraught with turmoil, marked the final mission to Tang China. Alongside disasters and significant loss of life during the voyage, mysteries persist around Vice-ambassador Ono no Takamura's refusal to board the ship, the government's insistence on the mission, and the objectives behind dispatching this mission to China. In this volume, Professor Saeki Arikiyo traces the journey from departure to return, focusing on the individuals involved and the prevailing trends of the era. Drawing upon a rich tapestry of historical sources, including records from Shoku Nihon kōki and the accompanying monk Ennin's Nit-Tō guhō junrei kōki, Arikiyo delves into the arduous

「為解放而戰的青蛙們，唯有蹲坐在陰暗的半個椰殼底下不動才會失敗。全世界的青蛙團結起來！」 《想像的共同體》作者班納迪克．安德森學術人生自述 是什麼樣的社會、政治、文化與時代背景，孕育、教育並養成了《想像的共同體》（Imagined Communities: Reflections on the Origin and Spread of Nationalism）的作者班納迪克．安德森(Benedict Anderson)？ 班納迪克．安德森終其一生都在挑戰他那個時代的紀律、文化、學術和政治的界限。在《椰殼碗外的人生》（A Life Beyond Boundaries）這本書裡，他記述自己人生中智識形成的歷程，如何迎向寬廣的世界，從中感受探索學習語言的樂趣，以及田野調查的重要性、新左派對全球思維的影響力、教書帶來的滿足感和對世界文學的熱愛。安德森同時在書中敘述一九六五年印尼發生流產政變後，他揭發軍方所扮演的角色，結果遭到蘇哈托政權驅逐出境。此外，他也重溫自己最知名，改變了民族主義研究的著作--《想像的共同體》背後的構思與靈感。 二○一五年安德森修改完本書的校樣後不久，便在爪哇與世長辭，旋即從亞洲湧來大量向他致敬的悼文，顯示安德森的作品將會繼續啟發和鼓舞年輕與年長世代的心靈。 媒體評論 「本書以特有的魅力與文學美感，記述一位當代極受仰慕的學者的智識軌跡。」——古哈(Ramachandra Guha)，《泰唔士報》文學副刊(Times Literary Supplement) 「迷人而低調的回憶錄。作者心酸的表示他對於自己的成就感到多麼幸運。我們都應該感同身受。」——《展望》雜誌(Prospect Magazine) 「安德森是舒適圈的敵人，不論國家、學校或語言皆是如此。他反覆再三的提到泰國和印尼文化的一個意象，也就是一輩子住在半個椰子殼下的青蛙。閱讀安德森的書讓人產生從椰子殼裡探出頭來的感覺。」——《經濟學人》雜誌(Economist) 「安德森的寫作充滿紳士味，仁善，還點綴著笑話——他這種非正式、易閱讀、跨學科的寫作風格一如既往贏得多方喝采。」——《衛報》(Guardian) 「世紀主義的入門書，提供跨越地理、歷史、語言、學科邊界的主張。」——《國家》雜誌(Nation)

"A beautiful tale of loss and adjustment; for those who have never had to leave home, perhaps a lesson in insight and empathy. Highly recommended." — School Library Journal (STARRED REVIEW)"Beautifully crafted and warmly empathetic." — Kirkus Reviews (STARRED REVIEW)A poignant story about a displaced family making a home in the aftermath of war.​We used to live in a big city. In our apartment window was a star-shaped lamp, shining through the cold. I could recognize home from far away. But then the war began, and we left for another country. Everything is different here—the food, the language, even Mom and me. Today Mom bought us a package of scissors, glue, and cardboard. Can we make this place feel a little more like home? Narrated by a young refugee, A Star Shines Through illustrates the long process of healing with an evocative palette of blues and yellows. This resonant book shows how making art can create a sense of hope and belonging, even in a new and different place.
