Double Presence: A New Study of Relationships Between the Leonardo da Vinci’s Knots and the Frescoes of the sala delle Asse of the Sforza Castle in Milan
摘要：達•芬奇筆下一系列稱作“芬奇結”的繩結裝飾，長期以來被當作達•芬奇個人創造性的符號而著稱於世。新近的研究更把它們與達•芬奇家鄉“芬奇鎮”的“柳條編織業”聯繫起來，賦予其本地物質文化特產的出身。本文一方面指出這些歸屬的不當之處，在於其有意無意地忽視了這些繩結裝飾具有的跨文化淵源，即其與近東伊斯蘭黃銅鑲嵌銅器等器物裝飾圖案的借鑒關係。另一方面更進一步地探討這些伊斯蘭圖案與達•芬奇設計的米蘭斯福爾扎城堡木板廳壁畫之間的跨媒介聯繫；揭示壁畫中隱藏於贊助人政治意圖之下的創作者個人語義，以及文藝復興藝術風格之下存在著源自近東與遠東藝術異域風格的“雙重在場”現象。 報名 Registration: https://forms.gle/MmTPLJBVPbF4gmsv8

FAH/DPHIL Lecture Series – “Daoism and Strategic Thinking” by Prof. Sarah Flavel, Bath Spa University, United Kingdom
FAH/DPHIL Lecture Series – “Daoism and Strategic Thinking” by Prof. Sarah Flavel, Bath Spa University, United Kingdom
Zoom: https://umac.zoom.us/j/91408400893 Abstract Scholars have often pointed out that (especially for the Daodejing) the notion of wuwei (non-action) begins as an idea designed to inform a certain model of non-interventionist governance. It is at the same time a guidance for the personal development of the ruler, so that the political and the personal are not necessarily separate levels of meaning, i.e., the right rulership of the Daoist sage requires a process of self-cultivation. In the later history of Daoist philosophies, including contemporary applications, wu-wei has been applied as a philosophy of personal development in its own right. Although most scholars note that a literalist reading of wu-wei as non-action is untenable, there is nonetheless a prevailing view that the Daoist […]

Valdeón is Professor in Translation and Pragmatics at the University of Oviedo, Spain, and a member of the Academia Europaea. He is the author of over a hundred and fifty publications, including contributions to journals such as Across Languages and Cultures, Meta, Intercultural Pragmatics, Terminology, The Translator, […]

FAH/DPHIL Lecture Series – “Fan Li 范蠡and the Daoist Philosophy of Time and Temporality: From Laozi to Huang-Lao” by Prof. Thomas Michael, Beijing Normal University, China
FAH/DPHIL Lecture Series – “Fan Li 范蠡and the Daoist Philosophy of Time and Temporality: From Laozi to Huang-Lao” by Prof. Thomas Michael, Beijing Normal University, China
Zoom: https://umac.zoom.us/j/94665357070 Abstract The age-old tradition of Daoist philosophy continues to challenge our ability to properly recognize its unique positions, insights, and worldview. One contemporary source of this challenge derives from the excavated editions of the Daodejing, namely the Guodian Laozi and the Mawangdui Laozi, which have compelled us reconsider two terms that are foundationally planted at the heart of Daoist philosophy: heng 恒 and chang 常, both of which are commonly taken to signify “constancy/ permanence/ eternity.” The work of two eminent scholars in the field, Chen Ligui and James Wang Qingjie, have demonstrated that these two terms separately had very different ancient meanings, and that their uses in Laozi’s Daodejing fully embodied them. These findings demonstrate that the […]
