Building Blocks Character-based Learning Method II

《台灣理論關鍵詞》續篇台灣不只是經驗的提供者，也能成為理論的生產者從在地複雜性出發，開創世界理論的新語言台灣理論，能否從經驗之島走向世界對話？從原住民歷史到漂流身分，從中介狀態到生態空間，《台灣理論關鍵詞II》繼續以關鍵詞為方法，從台灣自身的複雜經驗中，發掘出直面全球問題的理論資源。本書不只探索台灣如何思考自己，更推問：台灣如何成為理論生產的主體？在流動與交錯、未完成與生成之間，台灣提出自身的問題意識，創造出可以對話世界的新語言。《台灣理論關鍵詞II》是《台灣理論關鍵詞》的續篇，各詞條相當程度地援引了若干先前即已提出的關鍵詞，與之進行對話，並且多所開展。本冊的理論關鍵詞有三大特點，一是對原住民和定居殖民議題普遍的關注和深化。二是許多關鍵詞與跨、漂、流、渡有關，也有不少聚焦在中間狀態、中介關係，或是標舉未完成、不確定狀態或多重關聯的複雜性。三是觸及到空間、生態與土地，逐漸地從人當成主體與物當成客體的二元對立中開拓可能出路，企圖破除人類中心主義的思考模式，展現空間或是土地等物質條件的能動性和作用性。這些探討可以彰顯台灣殖民歷史、生態環境、社會組織、政治制度交互纏繞的獨特性，也可以讓我們有足夠的理論工具更為積極的去面對人類社會所發生的各種重大議題。

‘We must have a procedure – if we are going to hang anyone – that is just,’ said Chief Justice Sir Francis Piggott in 1909, on discovering that Chinese accused of murder were being denied interpretation in Hong Kong’s courts. Due process, no matter how costly or inconvenient, was ‘one of the penalties of empire,’ he declared.Penalties of Empire explores how judges, juries, and lawyers strove to deliver justice during the 150 years when the death penalty was in force in Hong Kong. Nine main chapters focus on key capital trials in the first century of British rule. Among the cases are piracies, assassinations, and crimes of passion and desperation. These chapters describe the proceedings in court and the participants involved. They also explore the debates surrounding each case and the exercise or denial of mercy by governors. Two final chapters discuss the decline of the death penalty after World War II, its suspension after 1966, and the controversies leading to its formal abolition in
