【10/31-實體+線上】Selling One’s Liver to buy a House”: Some Preliminary Impressions of the Housing Market in Tainan

Enclaving is commonly understood as a form of urbanization characterized by the building of urban spaces that is differentiated from surrounding communities and society via housing and unequal distribution of urban resources. The ’Urban Enclaving Futures’ project based at the University of Bergen (Norway) explores enclaving more broadly by including how it weaves together social practices, spaces and political desires, and economic aspirations. A core focus of the project is on housing investments, while another is on how enclaves affect social life within and between such communities. 

In this presentation, Ole Johannes Kaland will share some preliminary impressions and trends that stand out in the data he has compiled so far for his ongoing anthropological fieldwork in Tainan and the districts related to the Southern Taiwan Science Park (Nanke). In addition to studying the core foci of the enclaving project in Taiwan, Ole is particularly interested in learning how young adults experience and relate to the housing market. How do people attribute meaning and value to living in a certain kind of house or district in Tainan, and what roles does this play in being seen as a certain kind of person or family? How do people reflect on Nanke’s influence on the local housing market? Can Nanke be seen as a form of enclave? If so, how?

【11/9-實體+線上】多物種研究群系列演講之五—— 當代繆思-從音樂、科技到自然聲景 Environmental & Multispecies In/Justice V : Muses of our Time: Music, Technology, Natural Soundscape

結合科技與自然的聲音作品是這幾年來聲音藝術家施梅紛的主要創作風格, 也因此意外成了謬思的忠實信徒。

許多人所知繆思是希臘神話中代表藝術的女神, 殊不知九位女神除了藝術領域, 也職掌代表科技與自然的幾何學與天文學, 預言了當代的人類藝術發展走向。

在本場講座中講者分享自身創作經歷, 透過科技觀察聲音藝術模式的改變, 期待從自然生態聲響強化人類與土地的連結, 並且更近一步喚醒人與自身內在的對話。

【11/7-實體+線上】Contemporary Violence of State Crime and the Making of Statelessness I: The Case of Rohingya Crisis當代國家政治暴力與無國籍狀態之製造:羅興亞人的災難

Since the 70s, Rohingyas have been fleeing to various countries to escape ethnic discrimination, military impetuosity, persecution, and human rights violations in Myanmar. A Buddhist-Muslim divide developed after Myanmar’s independence, resulting in a conflict between Rakhine Buddhist communities and Rohingyas, which intensified to unprecedented levels and culminated in the “state-sponsored massive violence.” It is not only Myanmar, but also in their asylum countries such as Bangladesh and India, where the Rohingyas find themselves subjected to discrimination and violations of their human rights.

自七十年代起,羅興亞人(Rohingyas)在緬甸一直面對種族歧視、軍事驅逐等人權侵害,因而流亡於不同國家。佛教與穆斯林的分歧在緬甸獨立後日益嚴重,形成若開佛教社群(Rakhine Buddhist Commumities)與羅興亞人的衝突,甚至上升至國家縱容的暴力。這種情況不僅限於緬甸,同時亦在其庇護國如印度和巴格達等出現,讓羅興亞人面臨嚴重的歧視與人權問題。
