Eros of International Relations: Self-Feminizing and the Claiming of Postcolonial Chineseness is a distinctive work that explores the much-neglected Chinese perspective in broader international relations theory. Using the concept of “self-feminizing”―adoption of a feminine identity to oblige and achieve mutual caring as a relational strategy―this book argues that postcolonial actors have employed gendered identities in order to survive the squeezing pressure of globalization and nationalism in their own ways. Sovereign actors who have historically claimed to act on behalf of Chineseness have taken advantage of the images of femininity thrust upon them by transnational capitalism, the media, or intellectual thought.Shih illustrates the feminist potential for emancipation through a range of empirical examples, showing that women of various Chinese characteristics, acting on behalf of their nation, city, and corporations, reject the masculinization of their groups of belonging as remedy f

林毓生是研究近現代中國思想史的著名學者，其英文論著《中國意識的危機》在1980 年代出版中、日、韓譯本，對於東亞地區、台灣和大陸的學界與文化界都有極大的影響，奠定了他在西方和東亞近現代思想史領域的重要地位。從1960 年起在芝加哥大學攻讀博士期間，受海耶克（F. A.Hayek）親自指導和影響，林毓生對自由主義在中國前途的討論提出以往中文世界從未觸碰到的關鍵議題，使海耶克的理論以及西方其他重要思想

Collected and Curated introduces Chinese art and material culture through the items from the permanent collection of The University Museum and Art Gallery (UMAG), The University of Hong Kong. As the oldest continuously operating museum in Hong Kong, UMAG serves as a significant venue for contemporary art exhibitions, and excels at collecting, documenting and teaching about local and regional artists and art forms, while fostering ongoing and new relationships. Regarded as an essential teaching resource, UMAG has expanded its collection and programming through generous donations from patrons and artists, along with support from the University of Hong Kong and the HKU Museum Society. Since 1953, curators and educators have leveraged this assistance to expand, display and teach with a collection that highlights artefacts ranging from Neolithic cultures (ca. 6500 BCE–ca. 1900 BCE) to the early kingdoms and dynasties of imperial China (ca. 1500 BCE–1911). UMAG has also gained a reputation f

As the longest serving and the most influential bishop of Hong Kong, Bishop R. O. Hall (何明華會督) played a crucial role in the reconstruction of the Anglican Church and Hong Kong after WWII. Born in England, the bishop committed his life to building bridges: between China and England; between Hong Kong workers and company management; between the government and the Hong Kong people; and between the Hong Kong people he loved and the Divine he worshipped. His single-mindedness in pursuing and translating the social theology of F. D. Maurice into practical terms resulted in his enormous contributions to the development of social welfare, low-cost housing, and education in postwar Hong Kong and helped spur its economic and social evolution into a global city. Based on primary archival and private materials, this book shows that Bishop Hall, whole-hearted in pursuit of his goals for Hong Kong through “love-in-action,” was also multifaceted.

本書是吳江在八十歲之後寫作的回憶錄，回顧了自己從延安時期、大躍進、文革，直到改革開放以來長F六十年的政治生涯。作者以難得的直言無隱，刻畫了眾多黨內高層領導人和理論家，如胡耀邦、陳伯達、胡喬木、劉瀾濤、鄧力群、楊獻珍等，展現了錯綜紛紜的時局下黨內政治鬥爭、思想鬥爭的原貌。回憶之余，作者還從更大的歷史視角反觀曾經的個人處境，對歷史和自我進行反思，尤見一位理論家的鋒芒。書中尤其精彩的是，1977-198

父母都關心自己的小孩是否吃得好，希望他們從食物中吸取充分的營養，快高長大，做個健康的孩子。可是，嬰幼兒接受了充足的營養，是否就一定會長得高大？營養與生長的關係到底如何？原來，衡量營養與生長的關係是大有學問的。無論是香港或海外，均有學者錯誤地應用了「膳食營養素供給量」（Recommended Dietary Allowances, RDA）以及美國國家健康統計中心（National Center f

本書乃這個全球性課題至今為止的第一部專著。蓋自上世紀二三十年代起，鄂爾多斯地區發現了大量十字架造型的青銅牌符，並且以低價流通於文物市場，從而引起了西方來華傳教士及學者的注意。他們中的一些人認為這些是元代景教遺物。從此，不少有心人士開始大量收藏，一時成為收藏界和學術界熱門的話題。收藏者之中，以英國人聶克遜(F. A. Nixon)與美國人布朗(Mark Brown)為翹楚；學術界方面，有多國著名學者均對此有所探討，包括伯希和(Paul Pelliot)、穆爾(A. C. Moule)、明義士(James M. Menzies)、佐伯好郎(P. Y. Saeki)等等。現今，香港大學美術博物館藏有聶克遜捐贈的這一類文物舊藏近千枚，目前為世界第一。這批文物的發現史、收藏史、著錄史和相關的學術研究歷史，一向乏人問津；而且，從我們初步研究結果看，過去這些方面的從事者，會受到自身的信仰傾向、學術背景的影響，因此不同學者之間的分歧往往很大，未能做到互補長短。本文擬從這些方面入手，探討西方漢學在特定時間之獨特側面，並結合其他文獻、出土文物等相關資料，企圖賦予新的詮釋。我們認為：這批文物未必全屬景教遺存，亦未必全屬元代，蓋其所謂的「十字架」造型，與學術界已認定的唐元景教十字架的圖像(包括壁畫、絹畫和石刻)相差甚遠。而十字符號之文化內涵，源遠流長，即以中國而言，亦可追溯至殷商乃至更早；至於中亞，更毋庸待言。十字或類十字符號之功能，或與上古巫術息息相關，是亦有待將來更深入的探討。
