高駢（822–887）不單是中古時期河內（交趾）要塞的建造者，亦於唐代邊境地區建立了大規模防禦及交通建設，是中越兩地於軍事、政治、思想史上傑出的人物。他一方面是具有感召力的軍事、政治領袖；同時好學而好奇，對道教尤其耽味，好玄秘之術；另一方面更是有才情的詩人。高駢在加速唐朝滅亡和越南自主政權的建立中，均擔任關鍵的角色，這使後世對高駢的評價褒貶並存；甚至在生時已被奉為神明。另高駢於其幕府內亦網羅了一些

在香港，文化課題 (藝術發展、城市面貌、流行文化、以至民間生活方式) 曾經長期不受重視，處於一種零散自生狀態。殖民政府為了避免引起衝突，盡量減少太礙眼的文化干預，對華人文化、習俗既無大刀闊斧的改造或打壓，但亦不會保育、栽培。今天，情況早已有所變化，香港的文化項目被放上政治議程，變成政府決策重要的一環，並引來各種力量的挑戰。文化扣連政治，面對爭逐，已成常規。今天想了解香港社會，其中一項任務，就是了解

本書是第一部全面探討清代京城戲園文化與性愛風氣的專著。從乾隆後期開始，京城逐漸流行一種與男風密切關聯的戲園文化。這不僅是舞臺上的戲曲藝術，也包括伶人、戲班、戲園、觀眾、私寓、花譜、甚至其周邊的酒樓飯莊等諸多因素，它們共同構成了一個具有現代意義的都市公共娛樂空間。作者利用大量的史料、文學作品和圖片，深入考察清代京城獨特的梨園私寓制和演藝體制，闡釋傳統的「倡優並提」觀念在當時現實生活和文學作品中的貫徹

本書解釋了統治中國的技術官僚階級的動蕩起源。通過引人入勝的敘述，作者回溯了彼此敵視的兩大群體—1949年奪得政權但缺少知識的農民革命家與舊中國政權的知識精英—最終聚合為一個新的掌控階級的過程。在中共政權建立之初, 毛澤東和共產黨剝奪了有產階級的資產，並採取激進的措施以剷除教育造成的階級差別，這一做法加劇了新政治精英與舊文化精英之間的對抗。然而，在文革中毛澤東對兩大群體的攻擊，卻促成了精英團體之間的

A charismatic governor and commander, inclined to the occult arts of strategy, he was a man of wide learning and curiosity, with a strong attraction to Daoism, as well as a talented poet. In turn reviled and revered, for his pivotal roles in hastening both the end of the Tang and the emergence of Vietnam, Gao Pian became the object of local cults in his own lifetime. The presence of prominent literati on his staff contributed to this renown. At the end of his career, Gao laid the found

Although the arts have been firmly planted in the Hong Kong school system since the 1950s, they are often sacrificed in place of core subjects and preparation for examinations. Drawing on over fourteen years of exploration and experience, Yau makes the case that arts are critical to cultivating creative mindsets, which are our best resource for innovating and responding to challenges in this complex world of sudden changes. Through case studies and conversations with practising artists and educators, this book demonstrates why arts and education, two normally discrete disciplines, should be broadly integrated into the local Hong Kong curriculum, and how this can be – and has been – achieved.This book is intended for policymakers, educators, arts heads, and artists. The volume will also appeal to readers curious about how and why the arts should be foundational to education and capacity building in the twenty-first century.

A definitive guide to Hong Kong Art Deco architecture in the fullest scope and meaning of the styleThe Art Deco movement since the 1920s is often neglected at the peripheries of architectural history of Asia and Hong Kong. This book is the first study relating Art Deco architecture in the city with local socioeconomic and political contexts, adopts the theoretical lens to examine how they framed practices of everyday life, and narrates how Art Deco became part of the modern Hong Kong ethos via such architectural typologies as public and institutional sites, residential properties, commercial, industrial, and utility buildings.As surviving Art Deco buildings are hidden treasures and portals to forgotten marvels and little-known history of interwar Hong Kong, Prudence Lau and Vanessa Yeung show us how Art Deco heritage bears witness to the city’s societal progress in various aspects, early efforts at modernization before the postwar era, and its aesthetic connections with the internation

The University Museum and Art Gallery collaborates with Chen Xi on the exhibition Chen Xi: So We Remember. This catalogue accompanies the exhibition. The paintings illustrate important events that have shaped our modern world. The artist created this series of contemporary images to commemorate, to document and to provoke thought. The show presents her preliminary pen and watercolour drawings along with the finished oil paintings. Meticulous in her research and true to both the documented incident and the domestic details, Chen Xi creates historical paintings for our present and future generations. Her method directly relates to contemporary life and to a society that is informed and influenced by modern-day media. Interestingly, the painter does not simply depict a historic event, but frames within a TV screen each episode of her sequential and international narrative. By presenting the paintings within the TV’s glass, they become screen shots linked to a specific moment in time and s

The Global South – both as a concept and loosely defined collection of countries – has gained increasing traction in public and policy discourse. The ten BRICS+ countries are increasingly big players in economics, trade, and finance, as well as on geopolitical matters, climate change, and in multilateral institutions.Since its expansion to include five new countries, questions have arisen over the tenability and coherence of the grouping, as well as the extent to which divergences can be managed. Many non-BRICS+ nations and observers question whether BRICS+ can counterbalance the G7 countries. Though the impact of the BRICS+ as a geopolitical force remains to be seen, understanding BRICS+ is vital for policymakers and businesses across the world.Amid the growing role these powers play across the globe, academics must examine the past, present, and future of the BRICS+ countries. This compendium draws upon scholars across numerous continents, spheres, and disciplines, examining the futu
