Computer Performance Engineering

本書特色• 洋洋灑灑的六十篇組詩，史詩般的波瀾壯闊，從移民、離散、國族、族群等，重新譜寫南洋和新加坡華人的民族記憶；並以尋找父親在歷史洪流裡的足跡，反觀與檢視自己的族群、文化身份認同。• 《查無此人》在藝術表現上，採取了篇篇皆無題目的方式，有企圖地發揮詩的無限可能與特性。散文化的句式為詩歌演繹（Performance Poetry，又譯口語詩）提供了更大空間與韌性――不論靜態閱讀、舞台表演，能靜能動，寧願「詩」的力量和影響力能有更深遠的傳播。• 曾國平之作曾經獲得台灣詩學創作獎散文詩佳作獎，台灣「華文現代詩五週年詩獎」正獎，台灣「人間魚詩社年度詩人金像獎」，入圍新加坡文學獎，第四屆「方修文學獎」詩歌優秀獎等等。序●序一／隱藏與悖論◎秀實 晚間枕畔傳來窗外大河的流水聲，我蜷伏床上，想到生平中那些後悔的事。當然我沒有詩人張棗在〈鏡中〉的淒麗華美：「只要想起一生中後悔的事／梅花便落了下來」。我活躍的思維一直在推敲那些後悔的事背後的隱藏部分。窗外的大河，是黃揚河。這個城鎮，叫斗門。我企圖完成一件事，不留下悔疚。 曾國平是新加坡詩人。新加坡小而中國大，日近而長安遠。但詩歌在嚴峻的空間與時間中，並不曾退卻。它壁立著，在迫退空間的局限與時間的流逝。所有寫詩的人，無非都在困迫中詮釋存在，在消失中挑戰遺忘。國平詩〈查無此人〉（以下簡稱〈查〉）是一首長詩，其創作的意圖也正如此。〈查〉約七百行，分為六十節，以雙軌跡進行。我想起台灣名小說家王文興的《家變》。寫父子不和，父親離家出走。小說同樣是雙線發展。兩個時間軸這種垂直書寫，讓小說的發展具有強烈的時間感。內容既寫滄桑浮沉的生命，也寫恩仇共生的親情。王文興以阿拉伯數字標示過去，描述主角范曄成長與家庭變遷，以英文字母標示現在，記述了尋父的經過。這是一個經典級小說的結構。但詩歌畢竟不同，它的特征不在完整的敘事，而是在述說之外的隱藏部分。所謂隱藏，並非是詩人刻意不說。盡，是寫作人不可抵達的文字的局限。小說還好，總有「劇情」存焉。詩則大可不必，詩人追求的並不是「盡」，而是「到」。也則藝術表達的恰如其分。可以說，詩歌是追求隱藏部分較之呈現部份更多的藝術。 詩題〈查〉這個題目充滿「悖論」（paradox）。美國新批評家克利安思・布魯克斯（Cleanth Brooks）說：「科學家的真理要求其語言清除悖論的一切痕跡，詩人要表達的只能用悖論的語言。」

＼＼STEAM魂大爆發，古人發明超展開／／走讀臺灣先民25種為了解決生活難題而誕生的工藝發明，啟發孩子的創客（maker）靈魂、培養思考與活用知識的核心素養！想想看──✔沒有冰箱，要怎麼保存食物，並且防止蟑螂、螞蟻來偷吃？✔沒有汽車、火車，要怎麼把山上砍下的原木運送到山下呢？✔沒有鐵釘，要怎麼接合木材，製作家具、建造房屋或廟宇？✔沒有電力、音響和喇叭，怎麼讓觀眾聽見臺上演員的聲音？✔沒有鋼筋混凝土，光用泥土、竹子、廢棄物也能蓋房子？！──這些難題，聰明的古人都有答案！古早時代，沒有自來水，沒有電力系統，沒有石化燃料，沒有複雜機械……但是，為了克服生活中的種種不便利，臺灣先民們運用有限的資源，巧妙地創造了各種器物、工藝技術、建築工法，不僅兼顧環保和美學品味，也將我們現在經常聽到的「STEAM」跨領域思維發揮得淋漓盡致，部分創意概念甚至延續到了現代仍相當實用，這些先民根本就是最早期的創客（maker）呀！跟著書中的可愛插畫和實景照片，學習先民在生活、建築與農業等方面展現的智慧，一起探索臺灣的「古」(GOOD)工藝吧！【本書閱讀說明】1. 「STEAM」主題應用：在本書目錄和每一篇章的開頭右下角，我們會看到代表科學（Science）的S、技術（Technology）的T、工程（Engineering）的E、藝術（Art）的A 或數學（Mathematics）的M，表示該篇介紹的工藝所應用的領域。例如：〈榫卯　兼具力與美的木工藝〉標示了STEA，就是說這項工藝運用了科學、技術、工程、藝術的素養。2. 「溫故知新」：每篇文章包含【古人工藝智慧多】和【古的工藝新用途】兩個單元，除了說明古工藝在歷史脈絡下的發明由來和運作方式，也延伸介紹相同原理沿用至今，變身成哪些我們日常生活中常見的器物。本書特色☆知識跨域應用的最佳典範──結合風靡全球的STEAM素養教育，帶領孩子認識古老卻不過時的臺灣工藝智慧。☆貓咪百工圖──人氣插畫家阿喵，讓貓咪化身建築師傅、製磚工人、街屋商人、壓路車司機、農夫……呈現書中滿滿可愛的【貓咪百工圖】。☆GOOD！手工藝小劇場──書封後折口特別設計單元【GOOD！手工藝小劇場】，提供臺灣老屋與雙貓角色圖樣，供讀者DIY剪下做成紙偶，裝飾擺拍兩相宜。
