The Sensuous Cinema of Wong Kar-wai: Film Poetics and the Aesthetic of Disturbance(電子書)
出版日:2025/04/14 作者:Gary Bettinson  出版社:香港大學出版社  裝訂:電子書
The widely acclaimed films of Wong Kar-wai are characterized by their sumptuous yet complex visual and sonic style. Bettinson argues that Wong’s films—from Days of Being Wild and Chungking Express to In the Mood for Love and The Grandmaster—are permeated by an aesthetic of sensuousness and “disturbance” achieved through techniques such as narrative disruptions, jarring cuts, the blocking of facial access, and other complex strategies. The effect is to jolt the viewer out of complete aesthetic absorption. This tenth-anniversary edition of The Sensuous Cinema of Wong Kar-wai includes a substantial new afterword bringing the story of Wong’s career up to date (including reflections on the mainland Chinese drama Blossoms Shanghai). Bettinson revisits and extends the arguments of the first edition, surveys the recent key debates on Wong’s filmmaking, and introduces fresh lines of critical investigation.

Hong Kong’s Link to the US Dollar: Origins and Evolution(電子書)
出版日:2022/03/07 作者:John Greenwood  出版社:香港大學出版社  裝訂:電子書
Hong Kong’s Link to the US Dollar covers the origins of the city’s currency crisis in 1983, the initial resolution of the crisis by creation of a traditional currency board, the subsequent problems leading to the Asian financial crisis of 1997–98, and the later reforms. A new final chapter traces monetary developments in Hong Kong between 2005 and 2020. This valuable compendium of articles, originally written in the bimonthly journal Asian Monetary Monitor between 1981 and 1989, includes the key article that formed the basis for the Hong Kong government’s decision in 1983 to peg the currency to the US dollar, as well as other important documents of historical record. The main contribution of the book is its detailed monetary analysis of Hong Kong’s unique financial system before and after the currency crisis of 1983. The book explains the collapse of the floating Hong Kong dollar under the pressure of capital outflows during the Sino-British negotiations (1982–84) over the future of

Dragons:Shorter Fiction of Leung Ping Kwan(電子書)
出版日:2020/07/27 作者:Leung Ping-kwan  出版社:香港中文大學出版社  裝訂:電子書
Leung Ping Kwan brought as much talent and inspiration to the writing of his short stories as he did to his poems. ‘I have drawn on magical realism to explore the absurdity of Hong Kong,’ he wrote of the story ‘See Mun and the Dragon’ (1975) in which we find him using a simple, clipped style. The later story ‘Drowned Souls’ (2007) was written in a more symbolic, lyrical and more complex manner. Although the two stories are separated by over thirty years, and are in many ways so very different, dragons play a prominent part in both. The dragon has always been a fascinating creature, a complex embodiment of the timeless soul of China, symbol of the universal power of the imagination, of the creative energy and transformative possibilities of the Tao. Both of these enchanting stories are anchored in the author’s idea of freedom and liberation.

The Sensuous Cinema of Wong Kar–wai:Film Poetics and the Aesthetic of Disturbance(電子書)
出版日:2014/11/28 作者:Gary Bettinson  出版社:香港大學出版社  裝訂:電子書
The widely acclaimed films of Wong Kar-wai are characterized by their sumptuous yet complex visual and sonic style. This study of Wong's filmmaking techniques uses a poetics approach to examine how form, music, narration, characterization, genre, and other artistic elements work together to produce certain effects on audiences. Bettinson argues that Wong's films are permeated by an aesthetic of sensuousness and "disturbance" achieved through techniques such as narrative interruptions, facial masking, opaque cuts, and other complex strategies. The effect is to jolt the viewer out of complete aesthetic absorption. Each of the chapters focuses on a single aspect of Wong's filmmaking. The book also discusses Wong's influence on other filmmakers in Hong Kong and around the world. The Sensuous Cinema of Wong Kar-wai will appeal to all who are interested in authorship and aesthetics in film studies, to scholars in Asian studies, media and cultural studies, and to anyone with an interest in

Evolving Creative Mindsets: Thinking Through the Arts(電子書)
出版日:2025/08/11 作者:Lynn F. C. Yau  出版社:香港大學出版社  裝訂:電子書
Although the arts have been firmly planted in the Hong Kong school system since the 1950s, they are often sacrificed in place of core subjects and preparation for examinations. Drawing on over fourteen years of exploration and experience, Yau makes the case that arts are critical to cultivating creative mindsets, which are our best resource for innovating and responding to challenges in this complex world of sudden changes. Through case studies and conversations with practising artists and educators, this book demonstrates why arts and education, two normally discrete disciplines, should be broadly integrated into the local Hong Kong curriculum, and how this can be – and has been – achieved. This book is intended for policymakers, educators, arts heads, and artists. The volume will also appeal to readers curious about how and why the arts should be foundational to education and capacity building in the twenty-first century.

On Saving Face: A Brief History of Western Appropriation(電子書)
出版日:2022/06/20 作者:Michael Keevak  出版社:香港大學出版社  裝訂:電子書
In On Saving Face, Michael Keevak traces the Western reception of the Chinese concept of “face” during the past two hundred years, arguing that it has always been linked to nineteenth-century colonialism. “Lose face” and “save face” have become so normalized in modern European languages that most users do not even realize that they are of Chinese origin. “Face” is an extremely complex and varied notion in all East Asian cultures. It involves proper behavior and the avoidance of conflict, encompassing every aspect of one’s place in society as well as one’s relationships with other people. One can “give face,” “get face,” “fight for face,” “tear up face,” and a host of other expressions. But when it began to become known to the Western trading community in China beginning in the middle of the nineteenth century, it was distorted and reduced to two phrases only, “lose face” and “save face,” both of which were used to suggest distinctly Western ideas of humiliation, embarrassment, honor, a

Grounded at Kai Tak: Chinese Aircraft Impounded in Hong Kong, 1949–1952(電子書)
出版日:2022/04/13 作者:Malcolm Merry  出版社:香港大學出版社  裝訂:電子書
Set against the backdrop of regional and international post–Second World War tensions, Grounded at Kai Tak is the most comprehensive account of the complex legal struggle for ownership of 71 airplanes belonging to the two main Chinese airlines, which were stranded at Kai Tak airfield in Hong Kong at the end of the Chinese civil war. The resulting contest for possession of them took place in the courts and among politicians and diplomats on three continents. In the process, the struggle became entangled with the anti-communist policies of the United States in the emerging ‘Cold War’, British hopes for restoration of her pre-war commercial position in China, disagreements between nations about recognition of the new government in Peking, and the delicate balance that the colonial government of Hong Kong had to keep to preserve that colony’s interests. Merry tells the tale of this legal saga by weaving together archival documents and news reports of the day, revealing the international a

Searching for Sweetness: Women’s Mobile Lives in China and Lesotho(電子書)
出版日:2022/03/11 作者:Sarah Hanisch  出版社:香港大學出版社  裝訂:電子書
Traversing from the rapidly urbanising county-level city of Fuqing to the remote mountainous kingdom of Lesotho in Southern Africa, Searching for Sweetness is one of the first and most extensive ethnographies linking rural-to-urban migration in China with Chinese migration to Africa. Against the backdrop of China’s national struggle for modernity and globalisation, Sarah Hanisch examines Chinese migrant women’s complex and ever-shifting struggles for upward social mobility across different generations and localities in China and Lesotho. Embedding the women’s individual portraits into larger historical contexts, Hanisch illustrates how these women interpret and narrate their migratory and everyday experiences through and beyond powerful state metanarratives on ‘sweetness’ and ‘bitterness’. In her exploration of migratory identities and projects that have been overlooked by previous studies, Hanisch brings uniquely gendered, multi-sited, and intergenerational perspectives to existing sc

The Healthy Settings Approach in Hong Kong:Sustainable Development for Population Health(電子書)
出版日:2021/06/01 作者:Albert LEE  出版社:香港城市大學出版社  裝訂:電子書
An individual’s health depends on their personal lifestyle and living conditions, which are influenced by a host of complex physical, social, and economic determinants. The same is true of organisational and community health. This book explains the Healthy Settings Approach as a means to define population and health standards as well as a framework to promote and evaluate health in daily living activities. The determinants affecting public health go beyond the availability and quality of healthcare, and a concerted effort from all sectors of the community is required to bring about sustained improvements. Using the Healthy Settings Approach to facilitate the “right to health”, this book argues that promoting health in multiple and varied settings concurrently will ensure healthy living throughout the community and, ultimately, the world. The author uses real life experiences from different countries, with a focus on Hong Kong, and discusses many initiatives that have been enacted (alth

Traditional Chinese Medicine:Professionalization and Integration in Hong Kong(電子書)
出版日:2019/07/19 出版社:香港城市大學出版社  裝訂:電子書
Chinese medicine has a rich history that has only been made more complex by its integration with `Western' biomedicine. Legitimization of Chinese medicine in biomedicine-dominated health systems, such as that in Hong Kong, has posed significant issues. This anthology of articles explores relevant social issues related to various Chinese medicine treatments, including acupuncture and medicinal oils, as well as insight into practitioner licensing and public perception. Each chapter tackles a topic related to the complicated process of legitimizing knowledge and power within a specific social and historical context. Written by professors and researchers with extensive knowledge of Chinese medicine, government regulation, and sociology, this collection provides an overview of the challenges and current social context of Chinese medicine that affect students and practitioners of Chinese medicine, health and para-health biomedical professionals, and patients alike.

Gao Village Revisited:The Life of Rural People in Contemporary China(電子書)

The personal stories of the Gao villagers demonstrate and are related to changes in China. This is a close study of Gao Village twenty years after the author, an anthropologist and native of Gao village, wrote his original ethnography Gao Village. It combines ethnographic analysis, personal vignettes, and a number of fascinating stories, which presents a convincing yet complex picture of how Gao villagers interact with the outside world.

Over the years auditing has developed into a specialised function with complex ethical, legal and economic implications. The role of auditors in providing credibility is even more important in a society like Hong Kong, which relies heavily on its reputation as an international financial and business centre. The financial crises and accounting scandals reported in recent years, which led to economic meltdowns and massive loss in capital resources across the globe, highlights the vital role of auditors as gatekeepers and the importance of high quality auditing in ensuring corporate transparency and honest financial reporting. The third edition is thoroughly revised to take into account the new Companies Ordinance (Chapter 622, effective 2014) and Hong Kong Standards on Quality Control, Auditing, Assurance and Related Services (updated June 2014), and numerous developments of a full range of auditing topics since the previous edition, including: - Auditor's legal duties and liabilities

Co-authored by Eugene Nida and JIN Di, On Translation was first published in 1984 by the China Translation and Publishing Corporation in Beijing.

After a critical review of the historical development of translation theory in the light of modern information theory, they elucidate the most fundamental principles of translation in accordance with the concept of dynamic equivalence. The treatment is closely related to actual translation practice, and the principles elucidated are applicable to all types of translation, though most of the examples analyzed are taken from translations between Chinese and English.

混跡產官學三界的律師、客戶橫跨30國的國際業務和看遍生死的急診室主治醫師,三個不同領域的40歲大叔,在人生轉折點回到學校,但卻捨棄培養其他商業人脈的機會,念了一間比EMBA還貴的神秘學校──密涅瓦大學。 這間才成立不到十年的學校,已經打敗哈佛等名校,成為全世界創新排名前三的大學。密涅瓦大學強調課堂上不教知識,而是將所有學習都定位在建立學生應對未知的思考習慣,因為唯有把所學變成一種實際可用的決策演算法,才能跟自己的人生發生關聯。 這樣的觀念和校風,會為他們的人生帶來怎樣的改變?密涅瓦的思考習慣訓練,主要的精髓又是什麼?本書將首度為你揭露密涅瓦受歡迎的秘密。 學習,其實是在滿足我們探索世界的渴望。希望這本書能拋磚引玉,幫大家勾勒出未來學習的可能面貌,成為所有人應對未知挑戰的必修課。 這本書還提供了許多探索世界的工具,讓我們能站在巨人的肩膀上,不重複做別人做過的事,勇敢走出屬於自己的路。 密涅瓦大學決策思考力四大重點 ◇批判思考(Critical Thinking) 想要將批判思考應用在生活中,你需要懂得如何「評估」和「分析」。密涅瓦大學用將近30個思考習慣訓練學生去評估一個論點是否成立及如何建立有效的論證,同時為自己裝備3大類分析工具,來挖掘資料、拆解問題和調整決策。 ◇問題解決(Problem Solving) 未知的問題之所以複雜,就在於多重的可能性和萬物互聯的蝴蝶效應,因此問對問題可能遠比提出解方來得重要,該如何拆解問題,找到對的問題來解決?這其中涉及到的思考習慣,包括定義問題範圍的限制條件,釐清現況與目標狀態的差距分析,以及為自己準備填補差距的創意發想工具箱。 ◇複雜系統(Complex Systems) 我們總說要培養自己的「全局觀」,但到底要看得多「全」、多「大」才夠?密涅瓦認為想要學習有效互動和溝通方法之前,必須先看到全貌,辨別你所在的系統中成員間的網絡和行為模式,才能找到影響系統的有效切入點,運用系統1+1>2的增強迴路,讓溝通事半功倍。 ◇決策思維(Decision Making) 你的每個決定,背後都有三種決策思維齒輪在運作,分別是「數據」「槓桿」和「目標」,我們會透過某種演算法,運用「數據」,設計「槓桿」,來達成「目標」。有效的演算法,可以透過「數據」來確認「槓桿」和「目標」之間的因果關係,我們該如何學習不同的演算法,看見事物發展的反事實

為什麼美國的民主如此倒退,甚至國家陷於分裂的危機?! 這次的大選,有人說川普是被疫情打敗,川普自己也認為如此, 但更嚴重的是這個疫情揭露了一個早已破碎的國家真相 腐敗的菁英階層、僵化的官僚體制、殘酷的貧富差距、系統化的種族歧視、 政治上的對立和政黨的惡鬥! 這些問題都存在已久,但執政者只能坐視其惡化,而拿不出解決辦法。 本書深入剖析現今美國白宮的實際狀況,以及美國今日面對的種種困境與如何解套! ◤團結的意義是什麼?美國從未真正團結過。當年美國人民約1/3不支持越戰,但美國還是打了十幾年。1965年美國熱心於登陸月球,但支持的人只有39%。美國人只有在受到外國人攻擊時(如九一一事件)或遭遇重大災難時(如卡崔娜風災),或發生全國性的悲劇時(如Sandy Hook之死),才會產生一時的團結,但一旦政治介入,就會發生不團結。 ◤林肯總統在他第一任的就職演說中,在結論時指出:「我們不是敵人,而是朋友,我們絕不能成為敵人,雖然熱情(passion)有時會使我們緊張,但我們一定不使我們結合在一起的情感(affection)破裂。」 ◤美國已是一個分裂的國家,除了美國的民主制度出了問題之外,過去四年川普個人的觀念和作風也要負很大的責任。他只關心照顧和討好支持他的選民,反對、厭惡和打擊不支持他的選民。他用盡一切辦法去鞏固和凝聚他的支持者,同時也用盡一切辦法去分化和離間他的反對者。換言之,他只當一半美國人民的總統,但他深信,這一半選民對美國建制派或「深層政府」(deep state)的不信任、恐懼和憤怒的力量,足以支持他繼續連任。 ◤此次美國大選不僅造成了國內更進一步的分裂,也暴露了政府治理能力的不足,固然這些現象可簡化為川普的個人因素,但美國在制度上的缺失積弊已深。從2008年金融危機以來,經濟上貧富差距的不斷擴大、社會上的不平等和政治上的不正義都在腐蝕這個國家。 ◤美國大企業為了擴大市場和利潤,造成國內產業的空洞化;美國軍工組合(military-industrial complex)為了維持美國的霸權地位,在海外製造敵人,窮兵黷武,造成美國龐大的財政赤字,美國政府放任這種作法是符合美國廣大人民的利益嗎? ◤2020年一整年的新冠疫情給美國上了寶貴的一課,季辛吉(Henry Kissinger)在2020年4月便說,「新冠疫情將永遠改變世界秩序」,言外之意,便是美國
