Can we ever go home again? This question lies at the heart of Homecomings by Wong Yoon Wah, a veteran Singaporean poet and a prominent voice in global Chinese literature.In these poems, Wong delves into his country’s precolonial and colonial history, the natural heritage of the rainforest, his memories of his kampung hometown, his heartbreak at the closure of Nanyang University, and the global traumas of European colonisation and the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami.He expresses the loneliness and dislocation of the Chinese diaspora, as well as the sorrow of his generation as so many of their cultural touchstones are destroyed in the name of progress. At the same time, he embraces a planetary mode of thinking, sensing rapport with fellow humans from distant cultures and geographies, identifying even with the plants and animals that compose our ecosystem.Filled with nostalgia, bitter irony and strange beauty, Homecomings is a love letter to the past, revisiting its glories, making peace with t

★ 套書《山林與海之歌》英譯本正式發行！！★ 2019瓜達拉哈拉書展臺灣館主題書區「臺灣：故事之島」選書。★ 《泰雅勇士大步向前》獲選為第40屆「中小學生優良課外讀物」圖畫書類。★ 與中文原版同款「巴冷公主」封面，傳承經典故事，雋刻永恆記憶。★ 阿爾卑斯山獎、日本大島博物館繪本獎、義大利安徒生獎常勝軍畫家―湯瑪士．瑞杰可（Tomáš Řízek）作品！The Song of Mountains, Forest and SeaTaiwan is an island in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of mainland China. For centuries, the island has had a diverse mix of cultures and languages. The indigenous tribes on the island are distinctive examples. Their languages are classified as Austronesian languages close to those of the inhabitants of today's Philippines, Indonesia or New Guinea and Polynesia. Taiwan has thus become the platform where you can see the influences brought by the migrants from Pacific and Indian Ocean islands. The literary tradition of the Taiwanese is very rich, although they do not have their own writing system. The key to choose these three stories is the title of the book loosely hidden by the topics of the selected stories. It contains the natural elements that make up the world around us.

如何突破被科技巨獸掌控的社群平台？知名媒體評論家從心理到技術創意的分析和陪伴，帶你重新奪回你的網際網路！唐鳳 推薦林穎資（烏特列支大學地理系、INC客座研究員）黃豆泥（分散自治與數位主權探求者，前數發部工程師） 黃祥昀（哲學與社會學背景的策展人與創作者）專文推薦社群平台衍生各式難解的困境，大至結構制度失衡的雲端封建主義，小至個人層次的doomscrolling（像殭屍一樣，盲目地滑動捲動，不再意識到自己在做什麼）。在資訊超載的失序狀態下，我們越來越自戀，越來越習慣公開談論自我的內心，也越來越憂鬱。不僅如此，我們還越來越容易受到陰謀論和假新聞的影響，也容易被引戰。我們都意識到這個現象，卻奮不顧身、持續被社群平台綁架，不論是心甘情願或放棄抵抗。這一切不是我們自恃不足，更多是平台本身Sad by Design （你的悲傷是被設計出來的）。曾經，網際網路許諾了一個光明的未來，是人類追求平等解放的道路。結果卻在歷史洪流的發展中，轉變成問題的一部分，無法扭轉從自身蘊生的破壞力。在當今生態、經濟、金融危機相互交織、彼此影響的「危機的堆疊」裡，網際網路的失敗更加深了危機的不可解。設計，不然就等著被設計（program or be programmed）！作者是歐陸知名媒體理論家，也是網絡文化研究所（Institute of Network Cultures）的創始人。他從哲學和媒體理論的觀察出發，綜論各種變革的可能間隙，實驗各種可能的替代平台，他認為我們得放棄一體適用的解決方案，轉而尋求一系列多樣化、因地制宜的網路工具，來協助完成特定的工作。任何天馬行空的想像力都是起點。在本書裡，作者探討網際網路的困境，診斷我們目前所處的停滯階段，同時也探問如何「解困」，把平台變得不那麼平台。作者認為社群平台已經凌駕原先網際網路的角色，我們必須等待時機，將這兩者適當區分開來，以修復破碎的網路，建立「會面點」。社群平台的目的是進行經濟交流和搾取數據，「會面點」的目的則是創造共通性。「會面點」可以有千千萬萬個跳躍連結，然而在扁平而缺乏深度的社群平台裡，可能性非常有限。在這個故事裡，終極解決之道並不是替代平台的崛起，而是群眾奪回鄉民的能動性與對網際網路的想像力。集體退散卡住眾生的平台，轉而建立自主協作，創造連結動能的網絡。行動的第一步，始自對於數位衰退的深刻理解。【推薦語】本書金句不斷，將許多我們日常中
