Fills a gap in Korean Wave studies by studying it through the lens of gender. Women We Love is an edited collection exploring femininities in and around the Korean Wave since 2000. While studies on the Korean Wave are abundant, there is a dearth of analysis about the female-identifying stars, characters, and fans who shape and lead this crucial cultural movement. Using "women" as an inclusive term extending to all those who self-define as women, this collection of essays examines the role of women in K-pop and K-drama industries and fandom spaces, encompassing crucial intersectional topics such as queering of gender, dissemination of media, and fan culture. The audience for Women We Love will reflect the contributors to this text; they are K-pop and K-drama fans, queer, international; they are also academics of Asian histories, sociology, gender and sexuality, art history, and visual culture. The chapters are playful, intersectional, and will be adapted well into syllabi for media stud

A gripping middle-grade history that offers a fresh look at the groundbreaking 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom by spotlighting the protest's radical roots and the underappreciated role of Black women--includes a wealth of contemporary black-and-white photos throughout. Six decades ago, on August 28, 1963, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his iconic "I Have a Dream" speech during the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom--a moment often revered as the culmination of this Black-led protest. But at its core, the March on Washington was not a beautiful dream of future integration; it was a mass outcry for jobs and freedom NOW--not at some undetermined point in the future. It was a revolutionary march with its own controversies and problems, the themes of which still resonate to this day. Without diminishing the words of Dr. King, More Than a Dream looks at the march through a wider lens, using Black newspaper reports as a primary resource, recognizing the overlooked wo

An examination of the Counter-Enlightenment movement in China. In Modern Chinese Counter-Enlightenment, Peng Hsiao-yen argues that a trend of Counter-Enlightenment had grown from the late Qing to the May Fourth era in the 1910s to the 1920s and continued to the 1940s. She demonstrates how Counter-Enlightenment was manifested with case studies such as Lu Xun's writings in the late 1900s, the Aesthetic Education movement from the 1910s to 1920s, and the Science and Lifeview debate in the 1920s. During the period, the life philosophy movement, highlighting the epistemic debate on affect and reason, is connected with its counterparts in Germany, France, and Japan. The movement had a widespread and long-term impact on Chinese philosophy and literature. Using the transcultural lexicon as methodology, this book traces how the German term Lebensanschauung (life view), a key concept in Rudolf Eucken's life philosophy, constituted a global tide of Counter-Enlightenment that influenced the though

“A sweet, heart-squeezing story!” ― Jaleigh Johnson, New York Times bestselling author of The Mark of the DragonflyWhen seventh grade enemies research a missing set of jewels for a class project, they realize that the answers to the unsolved case might be much closer to home than they thought in this fun-filled mystery “as satisfying as hot soup on a cold day” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review).If you told Sloane Osburn and Amelia Miller-Poe that they’d be hiding in their town cemetery from an evil mastermind, they would have been hard-pressed to believe you. If you also told them that person was intent on beating them to a cache of long-lost jewels using nothing more than a slingshot and wicked aim, they’d have been sure you got your facts wrong. Finally, if you told them they’d be doing all of this as friends…well, they would have been sure you needed medical attention.Whether through serendipity (really, really good luck) or zemblanity (really, really bad luck), someone tricked their

This collection of essays critically evaluates the legal framework necessary for the use of autonomous ships in international waters. The work is divided into three parts:Part 1 evaluates how far national shipping regulation, and the public international law background that lies behind it, may need modification and updating to accommodate the use of autonomous ships on international voyages. Part 2 deals with private law and insurance issues such as collision and pollution liability, salvage, limitation of liability and allocation of risk between carrier and cargo interests. Part 3 analyses international convention regimes dealing with maritime safety and other matters, arguing for specific changes in the existing conventions such as SOLAS and MARPOL, which would provide the international framework that is necessary for putting autonomous ships into commercial use. The book also takes the view that amendment of international conventions is important in the case of liability issues, arg

台灣第一本源自哈佛大學「賞識思維」（Artful Thinking）的本土實踐之作6大思考秉性（目標） ╳ 20條思考路徑（方法） ╳ 12幅世界名畫（工具）透過眼腦鏈結，激發大腦潛力，帶領孩子建立思考的厚度！哈佛零點計畫（Project Zero）共同主持人大衛．柏金斯（David Perkins）曾說：啟動靈活思考力的有效方法，就在於「觀看藝術」。賞識思維（Artful Thinking）如同思考的羅盤，重點不在於藝術或繪畫技法，「大腦思考的路徑與方法」才是核心與精髓。面對人工智慧崛起的AI（Artificial Intelligence）時代，孩子還需要另一種AI（Aesthetic Intelligence）──美學智能，如同身體肌肉需要鍛練，腦袋的「思考肌肉」更需從小開始練習！本書源起於美國國家藝廊攜手哈佛大學零點計畫「藝術的思辨」課程，作者李宜蓁（Tiffany Lee），是台灣第一位完成這套課程認證的合格講師，她期許自己以「賞識思維」思考系統的終身倡議者身分，持續推動這套教學與思考模組。現在，就跟著宜蓁老師名畫思考課的引導，鍛鍊你與孩子的「思考肌肉」！只要選定：一個思考稟性（目標），一條思考路徑（方法），一幅名畫（工具），讓「看的教育」先於「聽的教育」，從1分鐘「深思熟慮」的觀看開始，透過觀看世界名畫，鍛鍊3～10歲孩童、甚至大人自己的思考肌肉，並非遙不可及！那麼，我們可以如何鍛鍊思考肌肉？「賞識思維」已替我們歸納淬鍊出步驟清楚可行的目標與路徑：6大目標──觀察與描述、比較與連結、提問與探究、證據與推理、找出複雜性、探索觀點──而每項目標，都有切實可行的建議提問路徑與方法，如接力描述、創意性比較、多元視角、進入角色……透過循序漸進、有方法步驟的對話與提問，就能鍛鍊大腦的思考厚度！譬如，以〈拾穗者之歸〉與〈拾穗〉兩幅畫作為例，便是鍛鍊「比較與連結」思考稟性的好工具。透過「創意性思考」這條路徑，觀察兩幅畫作不同，帶領孩子有結構的從人、農作物、人造物、動物等不同項目觀察與記錄，在兩幅作品中「找一找」彼此間最明顯的相似處，「想一想」為什麼，「比一比」最明顯的相異處。經過前面比較異同的思考歷程，大人再使用「我以前認為……我現在認為……」的思考路徑引導統整，最後才帶出拾穗文化的內涵與精神，翻轉過往一開始就直接切入畫作內涵的導覽模式。又如以〈自由引領人民

Focusing on Albert Sanguinetti from his early life to his retirement from the legal sector, including his tenures in Gibraltar, Kenya, and Hong Kong, this biography provides an in-depth view of the life of a prominent figure in the legal field in the late twentieth century. It is written from an objective, external viewpoint and paints a colourful and lively picture of Sanguinetti in a voice that could almost be his own. Using Sanguinetti’s life experiences, the biographer touches on various historical events, including the Mau Mau revolution in Kenya and the 1957 riots in Hong Kong, and details the social and political problems of the times, such as lingering colonialism, class structure issues, and human rights violations, among others. These glimpses of history through Sanguinetti’s eyes are accessible, thought-provoking, and truly representative of the man himself.Offering a well-rounded image of the eccentric subject, this book fulfils Sanguinetti’s common response to questions ab
