「如果文明是要我們卑躬屈膝 那我就讓你們看見野蠻的驕傲。」
「文明」,和「野蠻」一起,出現在《賽德克.巴萊》的電影海報之上。
「文明」也出現在《中華人民共和國憲法》與對此社會發出《請用文明來說服我》(為什麼
不是接受我文明的說服呢?)的書名文字之中。
關於如「文明」是什麼?怎麼樣才算是一個文明的人呢?等等這類的問題,以上的引文都有
著不同的答案、不同的脈絡、不同的文明。
本課程所介紹的「文明化過程理論」,創始自德國猶太裔社會學家Norbert Elias
(1897-1990)。依他之見,文明是一個長期的過程;文明的人是現代人(從西歐人開始)依過
程中的文明標準而有的自我圖像。同為「西方文明之子」 (借Max Weber語),Elias要問的
是何以我們(西方人)能視自己為文明而視祖先與同時代諸多異族為野蠻?文明何以致之?
透過一學期的經典研讀,期許同學們能夠由外而內,由學問思辨的學習進一步反思自身、反
思當代。
是以課程目標為:
1. 透過研讀經典,接觸文明化過程此一社會現象的觀察與研究方法
2. 經由思辨文明與野蠻的分野,反思自身與當代的行為標準。"If civilization wants us to bow our heads, I will let you see Ye Fei's pride."
"Civilization" appears together with "Wild" in "Zhidike. On top of the movie poster of Barrel.
"Civilization" also appears in the "Conventional Law of the People's Republic of China" and the issuance of "Please Use Civilization to Convince Me" for this society (Why
Isn’t you accepting my civilized contempt? ) in the book name.
Regarding what is "civilization"? How can you be considered a civilized person? For questions like this, all the above citations are
Different answers, different ties, and different civilizations.
The "Civilization Process Theory" introduced in this course was founded by Norbert Elias, a German Pacific socialist, a German Pacific socialist.
(1897-1990). According to his own view, civilization is a long process; civilized people are modern people (starting from the Western Europeans)
A standard and self-image of civilization in the process. Also "Son of Western Civilization" (Borrowing Max Weber), Elias wants to ask
Why can we (Westerns) see our ancestors as wild as wild peoples of the same era when we regard ourselves as civilization? Why did civilization lead to it?
Through a period of classical study, students are expected to further reflect on themselves and reflect on their own and from the outside to the inside, from the learning and thinking.
Think of the contemporary.
Therefore, the course objectives are:
1. Through the study of classics, the observation and research methods of the social phenomenon of civilization
2. By thinking about the distinction between civilization and wildness, reflect on one's own behavioral standards and contemporary ones.
