季風人文講壇2026年6月活動
JF Salon Announcement of June 2026
六月的季風書園，將從早期中國思想史、國際關係中的軟實力測量、文革記憶的文學書寫，以及香港研究與檔案保存等不同方向展開對話。本月活動橫跨古典中國、當代國際關係、華語文學與香港研究，邀請學者、作家與研究者共同討論歷史如何塑造制度、記憶如何進入文學與檔案，而知識又如何在變動的世界中被保存、理解與傳遞。
In June, JF Books presents a new series of conversations on early Chinese intellectual history, soft power in international relations, literary memory of the Cultural Revolution, and the preservation of Hong Kong archives. Spanning classical China, contemporary global affairs, Chinese-language literature, and Hong Kong studies, this month’s programs invite scholars, writers, and researchers to reflect on how history shapes institutions, how memory enters literature and archives, and how knowledge is preserved and transmitted in a changing world.

To Rule All Under Heaven: From Confucius to the First Emperor, the Making of Classical China
The book recounts the Warring States Period (481–221 BCE), a transformative era concurrent with the Persian Wars and Alexander’s conquests in the Mediterranean. This crucible gave birth to Confucianism, Daoism, and Sun Tzu’s The Art of War. Meyer will explain that this period marked one of world history’s most profound revolutions, forging an imperial Chinese state that endured until 1911 and creating institutional forms of governance that continue to structure the politics of our modern world.
《To Rule All Under Heaven》回到戰國時代（公元前481–221年）這一古典中國形成的關鍵時期。Andrew Seth Meyer 將帶領讀者理解儒家、道家與《孫子兵法》如何在這一激烈變動的時代中誕生，並說明戰國時代如何塑造了延續至1911年的帝制中國國家形態，以及至今仍影響現代政治的治理制度。
About the Speaker
Andrew Seth Meyer is Professor of History at Brooklyn College, the City University of New York. He earned his BA in East Asian Studies from Brown University in 1989 and his PhD in East Asian Languages and Civilization from Harvard in 1999. He lived, studied and taught in different parts of China and Japan for five years. His research and writing focus on the intellectual history of early China. His most recent book, To Rule All Under Heaven: A History of Classical China from Confucius to the First Emperor, explores the radical revolution of the Warring States Period (481 B.C.E.-221 B.C.E.), which has continued to shape the culture, society, and politics of China and greater East Asia until the present day.

Measuring Soft Power in International Relations
Inspired by how the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) measures the size of an economy, the Soft Power Rubric (SPR) measures the volume and intensity of people-to-people relationships among countries. International communications, travel, education, and migration, are all important channels that influence how people in one country view people in others. Special for the JF Books salon is a discussion of China, Taiwan, and related countries.
本場講座將討論如何測量國際關係中的「軟實力」。Irene S. Wu 提出的 Soft Power Rubric 受到 GDP 測量經濟規模的啟發，試圖衡量國家之間人與人關係的強度與密度，包括國際傳播、旅行、教育與移民等渠道。此次季風講座將特別聚焦中國、台灣及相關國家的案例。
About the Speaker
Irene S. Wu, Ph.D. is a political scientist and economist who teaches in the Communications, Culture, and Technology Program at Georgetown University. Measuring Soft Power in International Relations is a product of her fellowship at the Wilson Center for International Scholars. Her other books include Forging Trust Communities: How Technology Changes Politics and From Iron Fist to Invisible Hand: The Uneven Path of Telecommunications Reform in China.

《紅黑時代》：60年后我們如何用文學記住文革？
紐約華語作家之光女士將蒞臨季風書園，與讀者分享其長篇小說《紅黑時代》及創作背後的故事。《紅黑時代》是一部半自傳體小說，以冷峻、直接而真誠的筆觸，講述兩位「黑五類」少女悲歡交織的人生歷程，生動再現從1950年代末至1980年代初中國社會的重大歷史變遷，展現小人物在時代洪流中的沉浮、創痛與反思。
本次活動將由作家應帆主持，以對談形式展開交流；英美文學教授李文心亦將擔任與談嘉賓，從文學、歷史與記憶書寫等角度進行深入討論，與讀者共同思考文革經驗如何透過文學被記錄、理解與傳承。
In this Mandarin Chinese event, New York-based Chinese-language writer Zhiguang will discuss her novel Red and Black Era and the story behind its creation. The semi-autobiographical novel follows two girls from “black category” families through the upheavals of modern Chinese history, using a direct and sincere narrative voice to revisit the Cultural Revolution and its aftermath. Writer Ying Fan will moderate the conversation, with Professor Li Wenxin joining as a guest commentator.

Archiving Hong Kong–保存香港：檔案、研究與行動
中央研究院社會學研究所設有「香港主題研究小組」，積極推動「香港研究」。該計劃旨在建立全球香港研究網絡，並設有「香港研究資料庫」保存香港公民社會史料與珍貴文獻，讓台灣成為海外研究及保存香港歷史的重要樞紐。由學者梁啟智等人負責，自2023年起收集超過數千件香港文宣、書籍、刊物及官方檔案副本，保存逐漸在香港下架的記憶。自2023年起逐年舉辦「香港研究走向全球」（Hong Kong Studies Worldwide）國際研討會，探討離散社群、地緣政治變局與香港社會轉型。小組學者近年主編並出版《巨浪後》等探討後國安法時代香港變局的學術著作。
In this Mandarin Chinese talk, Kai Chi Leung will discuss the work of preserving Hong Kong’s civic memory through archives, research, and public action. The Hong Kong Studies initiative at Academia Sinica seeks to build a global network for Hong Kong research and preserve materials related to Hong Kong civil society, including pamphlets, books, periodicals, and copies of official documents that have increasingly disappeared from public view. The conversation will explore how Taiwan can serve as an important overseas hub for Hong Kong studies and historical preservation.
