時尚風向標和時尚偶像Jacqueline de Ribes (杰奎琳·德·裡貝斯逝世,享年96歲) “每年12月舉行的Met Gala上,每個人都會站在大廳裡等待她的到來。她總是穿著最精緻、最出人意料的伊夫·聖羅蘭高級訂製禮服。” Jordan Peterson, 《超越秩序:生活的 12 條更多規則》2021《生活的12 條規則:混沌的解藥》,其中以比他之前出版的作品更容易理解的方式討論了自助原則。

時尚風向標和時尚偶像杰奎琳·德·裡貝斯逝世,享年96歲

在時尚界,她是少數真正稱得上偶像的人之一。早在成為設計師之前,她就以穿著打扮力求給人留下深刻印象。

她不僅因其時尚事業而聞名,也因其塑造的形象而廣為人知。她對此毫不掩飾。 “盛裝打扮,”她曾說過,“並不意味著輕浮;它與輕浮毫無關係。”

Jacqueline de Ribes, Tastemaker and Fashion Avatar, Dies at 96

One of few people in the world of style who could legitimately claim the status of icon, she dressed to impress even before she became a designer.

As widely known for the image she projected as for her fashion career, she made no excuses. “Dressing up,” she once said, “doesn’t mean that you are frivolous; it has nothing to do with frivolity.”

時尚混搭女王


無論是在芭蕾舞首演的舞台上,還是在奧地利聖安東、法國梅傑夫或瑞士採爾馬特的阿爾卑斯山坡上,德·裡貝斯女士都以令人印象深刻的著裝著稱。在採爾馬特,她尤其鍾愛與服裝顏色相配的超大狐狸皮帽。 「有時她會穿著彷彿從薩金特畫作中走出來的服裝來家裡接待我,」瓦倫蒂諾曾這樣說道。


時尚編輯兼電視名人安德烈·萊昂·塔利回憶道:“每年12月舉行的Met Gala上,每個人都會站在大廳裡等待她的到來。她總是穿著最精緻、最出人意料的伊夫·聖羅蘭高級訂製禮服。”


然而,首先,德·裡貝斯女士將自己視為藝術家。身為時尚混搭女王,她深知自己擁有即興創作和巧妙搭配的天賦。

Ms. de Ribes emphatically dressed to impress. “Sometimes she would receive me at home wearing something right out of a Sargent painting,” Valentino once said.

The fashion editor and television personality André Leon Talley recalled: “Everyone used to stand in the great hall and wait for her arrival at the Met Ball when it was held in December. She would have on the most exquisite, and unexpected, Yves Saint Laurent couture.”

First and foremost, however, Ms. de Ribes saw herself as an artist. Queen of the sartorial mash-up, she was well aware of her gifts for improvisation and bricolage.

Z世代、上帝、喬登彼得森、性與不成長有什麼共通點?我很想聽聽你的回答。當然,我的是《經濟學人》的文化版塊。所有這些主題都出現在我們今年閱讀量最大的一些故事中。


我們試圖以更廣泛的視角來看待可能吸引讀者的文化趨勢和主題。今年是了不起的一年:例如,我們研究年輕人是否以及為何拒絕長大的文章是《經濟學人》2024 年閱讀量排名第三的文章。有益的時間來靜修並補上一些期待已久的閱讀。這是您可能錯過的文化亮點的便捷指南。


圖書

1999 年,勞特利奇出版了《意義地圖:信仰的架構》,其中彼得森描述了一種關於人們如何建構意義、形成信念和進行敘事的理論。根據彼得森的說法,他的主要目標是研究為什麼個人和群體都參與社會衝突,探索個人支持他們的信仰體系(即意識形態認同)[8] 的推理和動機,這最終可能導致謀殺和病態的暴行,如古拉格、奧斯威辛集中營和盧安達種族滅絕。


2018 年1 月,企鵝蘭登書屋出版了彼得森的第二本書《生活的12 條規則:混沌的解藥》,其中以比他之前出版的作品更容易理解的方式討論了自助原則。 14][19][37 ]該書出現在多個暢銷書排行榜上。


彼得森的第三本書《超越秩序:生活的 12 條更多規則》於 2021 年 3 月 2 日發行。 2020 年 11 月 23 日,他的出版商加拿大企鵝蘭登書屋 (PRH Canada) 舉行了一次內部市政廳,許多員工批評了出版該書的決定。


彼得森的第四本書《與上帝摔角的人:對神聖的看法》於 2024 年 11 月 19 日再次由企鵝蘭登書屋出版。

What do Generation Z, God, Jordan Peterson, sex and not growing up have in common? I’d be curious to hear your answer. Mine is, of course, the Culture section of The Economist. All these subjects have featured in some of our most-read stories of the year.

We try to take a broad view of cultural trends and subjects that are likely to fascinate readers. And it has been a terrific year: our piece examining whether, and why, young adults are refusing to grow up, for example, was the third-most-read piece published by The Economist in 2024. If your holiday season is anything like mine, this can be a rewarding time to retreat and catch up on some long-anticipated reading. Here’s a handy guide to the Culture highlights you may have missed.

Books

In 1999, Routledge published Maps of Meaning: The Architecture of Belief, in which Peterson describes a theory about how people construct meaning, form beliefs, and make narratives.[8][34][35] According to Peterson, his main goal was to examine why individuals and groups alike participate in social conflict, exploring the reasoning and motivation individuals take to support their belief systems (i.e. ideological identification)[8] that can eventually result in murderous and pathological atrocities, such as the Gulag, the Auschwitz concentration camp, and the Rwandan genocide.[8][36]

In January 2018, Penguin Random House published Peterson's second book, 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos, in which self-help principles are discussed in a more accessible style than in his previous published work.[14][19][37] The book appeared on several best-seller lists.[38][39][40]

Peterson's third book, Beyond Order: 12 More Rules for Life, was released on 2 March 2021.[41] On 23 November 2020, his publisher Penguin Random House Canada (PRH Canada) held an internal town hall where many employees criticized the decision to publish the book.[42]

Peterson's fourth book, We Who Wrestle with God: Perceptions of the Divine, was published on 19 November 2024, again by Penguin Random House.[43]

福斯特一共著有六部小說:

天使裹足之處》(1905)是他第一部小說。書名是蒲柏的一句詩的後半句,前半句是「蠢人們卻闖進了」。小說寫英國中產階級的宗教道德觀念,故事曲折,人物性格複雜。

最長的旅程》(1907)的主題是現象與實在(實際的存在)的矛盾。書名引自雪萊靈魂上的靈魂》("Epipsychidion")一詩,意指不自由的結合是「最令人厭倦、 最長的一次旅行」。 故事寫的是想像中的愛情與現實生活的矛盾。它是福斯特小說中最不為人所知的一部,但卻是作者本人最喜愛的,以及最具自傳性的一部作品。

窗外有藍天》(1908)以義大利為背景,用喜劇手法寫虛偽與真實,自由、愛、音樂、義大利下層人民、自然風景等與假道學、虛情假意、傳統陋習、英國市民階層、窒息的環境之間的矛盾。

福斯特最主要的小說是《霍華德莊園》(1910)和《印度之旅》(1924)。

霍華德莊園》寫代表英國中產階級上層的精神和文化的施萊格爾姐妹和同一階層代表實幹、缺乏想像和傲慢的威爾科克斯一家之間,以及英國中產階級上層和下層之間的複雜關係。

印度之旅》是作者最後一部也是最重要的一部小說。作者在這部作品裡把「聯接起來」的思想擴大到不同的民族。

A Passage to India 出自{草葉集}

我希望找原著讀一下

“To return to Forster is to be reminded that politics is tied to the fate of people, not theories. That same equivocal 'spirit which is half-afraid and half-thinking about something else' that he describes in another 1939 essay, 'Post-Munich,' was the same spirit that flooded me in November’s post-election days. His reflections on the value of culture during times of violence lend a brief flicker of hope to anyone who believes in art for art’s sake. And in WHAT I BELIEVE, the⋯⋯

What I Believe

(fromForster, E.MTwo Cheers for Democracy)







I do not believe in Belief. But this is an Age of Faith, and there
are so many militant creeds that, in self-defence, one has to
formulate a creed of one's own. Tolerance, good temper and
sympathy are no longer enough in a world which is rent by
religious and racial persecution, in a world where ignorance rules,
and Science, who ought to have ruled, plays the subservient pimp.
Tolerance, good temper and sympathy - they are what matter
really, and if the human race is not to collapse they must come
to the front before long. But for the moment they are not
enough, their action is no stronger than a flower, battered be-
neath a military jackboot. They want stiffening, even if the
process coarsens them. Faith, to my mind, is a stiffening process,
a sort of mental starch, which ought to be applied as sparingly as
possible. I dislike the stuff. I do not believe in it, for its own sake,
at all. Herein I probably differ from most people, who believe in
Belief, and are only sorry they cannot swallow even more than
they do. My law-givers are Erasmus and Montaigne, not Moses
and St Paul. My temple stands not upon Mount Moriah but in
that Elysian Field where even the immoral are admitted. My
motto is : "Lord, I disbelieve - help thou my unbelief.
I have, however, to live in an Age of Faith - the sort of epoch
I used to hear praised when I was a boy. It is extremely un-
pleasant really. It is bloody in every sense of the word. And I
have to keep my end up in it. Where do I start ?
With personal relationships. Here is something comparatively
solid in a world full of violence and cruelty. Not absolutely solid,
for Psychology has split and shattered the idea of a " Person", and
has shown that there is something incalculable in each of us,
which may at any moment rise to the surface and destroy our
normal balance. We don't know what we are like. We can't
know what other people are like. How, then, can we put any
trust in personal relationships, or cling to them in the gathering
political storm ? In theory we cannot. But in practice we can and
do. Though A is not unchangeably A, or B unchangeably B, there
can still be love and loyalty between the two. For the purpose of
living one has to assume that the personality is solid, and the
"self" is an entity, and to ignore all contrary evidence. And since
to ignore evidence is one of the characteristics of faith, I certainly
can proclaim that I believe in personal relationships.
Starting from them, I get a little order into the contemporary
chaos. One must be fond of people and trust them if one is not
to make a mess of life, and it is therefore essential that they should
not let one down. They often do. The moral of which is that I
must, myself, be as reliable as possible, and this I try to be. But
reliability is not a matter of contract - that is the main difference
between the world of personal relationships and the world of
business relationships. It is a matter for the heart, which signs no
documents. In other words, reliability is impossible unless there
is a natural warmth. Most men possess this warmth, though
they often have bad luck and get chilled. Most of them, even
when they are politicians, want to keep faith. And one can, at all
events, show one's own little light here, one's own poor little trem-
bling flame, with the knowledge that it is not the only light that is
shining in the darkness, and not the only one which the darkness
does not comprehend. Personal relations are despised today. They
are regarded as bourgeois luxuries, as products of a time of fair
weather which is now past, and we are urged to get rid of them,
and to dedicate ourselves to some movement or cause instead. I
hate the idea of causes, and if I had to choose between betraying
my country and betraying my friend I hope I should have the
guts to betray my country. Such a choice may scandalize the
modern reader, and he may stretch out his patriotic hand to the
telephone at once and ring up the police. It would not have
shocked Dante, though. Dante places Brutus and Cassius in the
lowest circle of Hell because they had chosen to betray their
friend Julius Caesar rather than their country Rome. Probably
one will not be asked to make such an agonizing choice. Still,
there lies at the back of every creed something terrible and hard
for which the worshipper may one day be required to suffer, and
there is even a terror and a hardness in this creed of personal
relationships, urbane and mild though it sounds. Love and
loyalty to an individual can run counter to the claims of the State.
When they do - down with the State, say I, which means that the
State would down me.


約翰歐文眼中的世界

這位文學巨匠83歲依然筆耕不輟學,不斷突破創作的界限。

「我想起了那句關於E·M·福斯特的名言:他每少寫一本書,他的聲譽就提升一分。」漢森先生說道,“約翰的情況恰恰相反。他一直在寫作,這就像摔跤比賽一樣:你不知道自己能否贏得每一場比賽,但你還是會上場嘗試,看看結果如何。”


83歲的歐文先生並沒有停止寫作的打算。事實上,他已經開始創作下一部小說了。圖片來源:《紐約時報》凱爾伯傑

與40多歲就停止寫作並活到91歲的福斯特先生不同,歐文先生一直在寫作——而且實際上,他根本停不下來。

「他每天、每週七天、每年52週,都在同一時間坐下來寫作。」施瓦茨博士說。 “這就是他的風格。”

漢森先生認為這是一種美德。 「這就像科學家不斷做實驗一樣,」他說。 “約翰仍在嘗試,仍在成長,仍在努力鑽研技藝。”

The World According to John Irving

The literary titan is still publishing books, and still pushing envelopes, at 83.








“I was remembering that quote about E.M. Forster, that his reputation improved with every book that he didn’t write,” Mr. Hansen said. “John is just the opposite. He keeps writing books, and it’s almost like the wrestling model: You don’t know if you’re going to win every match, but you go out there and try and see what happens.”

Unlike Mr. Forster, who stopped writing novels in his 40s and lived to 91, Mr. Irving continues to write — and, in fact, cannot stop.

“He sits down at the same time every day, seven days a week, 52 weeks a year, and writes,” Dr. Schwartz said. “It’s what he does.”

Mr. Hansen sees that as a virtue. “It’s like a scientist who continues to do experiments,” he said. “John is still experimenting, still growing, still trying to figure out the craft.”
