  • 大學圖書館對「反對哲學系藏書搬離新亞書院」群組、中大學生會聯署公開信的回覆
    30/07/2015 to 31/12/2015

    各位同學：

    謝謝你們的 公開信 ，表達了對哲學藏書在今年暑假移往聯合圖書館的關注。在電子圖書館的發展中，人文學科的進展顯然較為緩慢。爲著中大師生及未來的人文學科研究、教學和學習需要，圖書館必須致力保存人文學科印刷本書籍的可持續性和整體性，而將哲學藏書移往聯合圖書館正是履行這承諾的一項措施。

    我們同意圖書館書籍的未來館藏位置包括哲學藏書，以及聯合圖書館的發展是重要的討論議題。這一點在2015年5月28日的公開論壇中已特別提及，諮詢工作早已展開，亦會繼續進行。由於牽涉很多持份者及校園內的圖書館，我們在論壇已指出這些討論需時進行。圖書館原本準備在未來數星期，當學生和教師暑假回來後公佈其他諮詢計劃，但也樂意提前，以回應 貴會的公開信。

    圖書館將對聯合圖書館未來發展的各種方案進行評估，我們會將哲學藏書移返新亞圖書館的可行性包括在内。儘管意見不一，我們會盡力諮詢所有有關團體對各項方案的看法。我們也會如常正式向圖書館讀者小組諮詢，聽取中大學生會、中大研究生會、九所書院學生會以及八個學院全體代表的意見。

    祝 學安

    李露絲
    大學圖書館館長

NAL specializes in Chinese language and literature, fine arts and philosophy, all subject areas where print collection growth is still strong.

  • Library Talk: The Imaginary Temporal-Spatial Travel of 'Butterfly Dream' - the Synaesthetic Creativity of Chinese Female Boudoir Painters from the Viewpoint of Phenomenology
    16/04/2015

    Prof. Jiang Yuhui was guest speaker of this University Library Research Commons talk.

    Throughout the history of Chinese painting, the female boudoir painters have dramatically demonstrated their prominent distinctions which could or should be comprehended from different perspectives. The studies of cultural history, the feminist research, and the critical analysis of power and discourse, etc., have all contributed greatly to the further understanding of these female painters' art world. However, the philosophical thinking, especially phenomenology, might offer us an alternative angle. The problem of synaesthesia, one of the major themes in Phenomenology of Perception, could serve as a guiding thread into this magnificent pictorial world. Developing the argument along this main...
