★ 入選《The New York Times》2021年度最佳藝術書★ 結合科學、建築、藝術與地緣政治的跨領域鉅作★ 首度建立南極建築普查與多維度視覺資料庫南極，是地球上最極端、也最被忽視的公共領域之一。它覆蓋全球約10%的陸地面積，儲存著約70%的淡水資源，同時也是氣候變遷研究最重要的資料庫。然而，這片冰封大陸並非單純的自然淨土，而是一個隱含資源競逐與國際權力角力的複雜場域。《Antarctic Resolution》試圖突破當代大數據所建構的片段視角，提出一種「高解析」的觀看方式：透過跨國、跨領域專家的共同參與，從地理、科學、建築、政治與人類活動等多重面向，重新描繪南極的全貌。書中收錄專文論述、攝影專題與數據視覺圖像，並首次整理南極建築的完整調查，呈現人類如何在極端環境中建立暫時性的存在。此外，本書也進一步探討南極獨特的國際治理模式，思考在無國界的情境下，人類是否可能發展出新的合作框架。面對氣候變遷與海平面上升的威脅，南極不再只是遙遠的研究對象，而是全球未來的重要關鍵。本書不僅是一部關於南極的研究，更是一個行動提案——邀請讀者重新理解這片大陸，並思考人類應如何共同守護其未來。Named one of the best art books of 2021 by the New York TimesAccounting for approximately 10% of the land mass of Planet Earth, the Antarctic is a global commons we collectively neglect. Far from being a pristine natural landscape, the continent is a contested territory which conceals resources that might prove irresistible in a world with ever-increasing population growth. The 26 quadrillion tons of ice accumulated on its bedrock, equivalent to around 70% of the fresh water on our planet, represe

在深水埗的高密度地區，因其海事重要性而被翻譯為“深水碼頭”，居民友好，具有社區意識，足智多謀，腳踏實地。而從統計上看，他們的收入也是香港最低的。
幾十年來，該地區一直在變化。戰後工廠都搬到了中國大陸。天后廟於1901年在海港附近建立，但今天，天后則看顧著出售二手電子產品的小販。在香港，人行道，小巷和街道的法規有時是可議的。在深水埗我們有時無法得知合法的界線。木匠可以在人行道上工作嗎？一個無家可歸的

In this fascinating book, Damian Alan Pargas introduces a new conceptualization of 'spaces of freedom' for fugitive slaves in North America between 1800 and 1860, and answers the questions: How and why did enslaved people flee to – and navigate – different destinations throughout the continent, and to what extent did they succeed in evading recapture and re-enslavement? Taking a continental approach, this study highlights the diversity of slave fight by conceptually dividing the continent into three distinct – and continuously evolving – spaces of freedom. Namely, spaces of informal freedom in the US South, where enslaved people attempted to flee by passing as free blacks; spaces of semi-formal freedom in the US North, where slavery was abolished but the precise status of fugitive slaves was contested; and spaces of formal freedom in Canada and Mexico, where slavery was abolished and runaways were considered legally free and safe from re-enslavement.
