自前現代社會起，貨幣即成為市場交易的衡量基礎；而自現代國家形成之後，貨幣的發行與度量，也是國家權力的關鍵展現途徑之一。透過貨幣的積累與損益計算，財富/貧窮的概念逐漸實質化，而在追求其積累的過程裡，人類社會也經歷了貿易模式、移動途徑、渴慾商品、生活風格等等面相的巨大變化。更甚者，尤其在後冷戰時期的新自由主義社會，貨幣也逐漸成為社會正義、親密關係、以及主觀快感的終極評量標準。以上對價關係如何形成？吾人又如何可以藉由貌似貨幣的競逐活動，而探究該社經脈絡裡較少為正統社會學分析的概念，比如：自由、快感、公平、愉悅、信任、親密關係、以及生命和死亡？本課將藉由閱讀經典社會學、文化人類學、與哲學文獻，以試圖探究上述議題。Since the pre-modern society, currency has become the basis for measuring market transactions; and since the formation of modern countries, the issuance and measurement of currency is also one of the key development paths of national power. Through the calculation of cash accumulation and profit, the concept of wealth/income gradually becomes more practical, and in the process of pursuing its accumulation, human society has also experienced huge changes in trade models, mobile paths, desire goods, lifestyles, etc. What's more, especially in the neoliberal society during the post-cold war, currency has gradually become the ultimate evaluation standard for social justice, close ties, and hosting pleasure. How did the above price relationship be formed? How can we explore concepts less positive social analysis in this social network, such as freedom, pleasure, fairness, pleasure, trust, close relationships, and life and death through a seemingly currency competition? This course will explore the above questions by reading classical social, cultural humanities, and philosophy literature.
