阿邦借我卜正民《社群·王朝—明代國家與社會》。我原預計30日還他。 晚上翻翻書，一時無法讀進去：最近打算作"紀念 Charles Jencks (1939~2019)"：現代外國人的"複雜"程度，不比明朝的低--現在了解"大明"的一大堆細節，遠沒攸關.......。
----- 紀念 Charles Jencks 1939~2019 年初(2019)，FT有篇稿子，80歲的建築史家 Charles Jencks 談Bauhaus 百年. 這主題我很熟，
漢清講堂也有一節目專論Walter Gropius (1883~1969) --出版遙遙無期，然而我讀到Charles 講Gropius 先生扮"聖誕老公公"般，"耶穌洗腳"般(給單身者禮物)，服務所有師生，仍很訝異：聖誕節那天，格羅皮烏斯裝扮成聖誕老人，據編織工作坊的負責人岡塔·斯托爾茨爾（Gunta Stölzl）所說，“親自為每一位在場的人服務。這就像為門徒洗腳一樣。” (One Christmas Day Gropius dressed up as Santa Claus and, according to Gunta Stölzl, who led the weaving workshop, “served every single person present personally. A kind of washing of the disciples’ feet.”)
In a world in which internet troll farms attempt to influence foreign elections, can we afford to ignore the power of viral stories to affect economies? Nobel Prize–winning economist and New York Times bestselling author Robert Shiller offers a new way to think about the economy and economic change.
昨晚在柏林的活動真好玩，《鬼地方》《成為怪物以前》兩本台灣小說的作者與德文譯者在台上一起講書，感謝臺灣文學館促成這美事。 預告一下，這美事會繼續延續下去。 Karin Betz正在翻譯《臺灣漫遊錄》。Monika Li正在翻譯《進烤箱的好日子》。 Karin Betz十一月會到台灣駐村，拜託大家，好好照顧這可愛的德國譯者女生。台灣女生+德國女生，成群結隊，陣容美麗。所以啊，大家要開心活下去，不久的將來，會在很多地方遇見這些女生在台上說書。 接下來，台灣女生的小說，會在全世界各角落出版。 我們該做的事，就是買書，讀書。我們每一次消費，都是投資我們台灣。好啦，大叔說教完畢。
2013 我對張華兄的研究的助益很有限，基本上只是提供些參考資料。譬如說，北京商務印書館的《趙元任全集》的某些相關資訊。張兄的相關參考資料相當齊全了，譬如說，我曾跟他提過Oxford Companion to Children Literature 中的Lewis Carroll相關資料以及 諸如Martin Gardner的The Universe in a Handkerchief: Lewis Carroll's Mathematical Recreations, Games, Puzzles, and Word Plays，張兄都已經有了。我曾動議組個學會，他說這事比較難辦。http://hctranslations.blogspot.tw/2013/10/blog-post.html
奇怪的版權頁： 後現代主義：思潮與大師經典漫畫(二版) Postmodernism For Beginners 作者： Richard Appignanesi 繪者： Chris Garratt 譯者： 黃訓慶
出版社：立緒 出版日期：2018/06/08 在台灣，這套"思潮與大師經典漫畫"，自1996至2017年，"可能"各賣了2萬本。 不過，這套入門漫畫書，可能英、美各找作者一套近似書名的書。 據台北立緒出版公司的版權頁：書名譯自 Postmodernism For Beginners 可是，根據作者/繪者去查Amazon，應該是譯自： (Introducing Postmodernism: A Graphic Guide Paperback – 6 Sep 2007 by Richard Appignane (Author), Chris Garratt (Author))

Blake Gopnik: At the Jewish Museum, you’re having a show of your early work. But — and I wasn’t ready for this when I started thinking about this interview — you’ve just now revealed one of the most powerful works of your career, and the most political. And that’s a guerrilla collaboration with Greenpeace that saw a giant canvas hoisted onto an oil rig and then drenched in red paint like a giant bloodstain, as though global warming was wounding the planet. Does that very latest work change how it feels to look backward, in the Jewish Museum show, to where your art started? Does it change how we should read that early work?
Anish Kapoor: No. I think art that simply comes to dictate to the viewer how it ought to be looked at is just not very good art. I’m afraid we have too much of that stuff around nowadays, and I’m a great believer in the other place, which is: How does one hold to metaphoric language?

"SiPh" stands for Silicon Photonics, a technology that uses light to transmit data on a silicon chip, replacing or augmenting traditional electrical signals. By integrating optical components onto a standard silicon chip, SiPh enables the creation of high-density, low-power photonic integrated circuits (PICs) for high-speed communication and other applications, leveraging the cost-effectiveness and scalability of the established CMOS semiconductor manufacturing ecosystem.
