002 Why sociology and how it is useful? 2017/10/15 9:14 I started studying sociology in 1964 as a student of Tunghai University, majoring in sociology, after a season of changing in my life. I would address the series of changes in another posting later. 在經歷了一個經歷生命巨變的季節之後，我於 1964 年在東海大學主修社會的學生開始學習社會學。 稍後，我將在另一篇文章中介紹一系列變更。 Sociology, a new-found field to me, caught my attention and interest at the first sight in college days. 社會學是我新發現的一個領域，在大學時代第一眼就引起了我的注意和興趣。     I remember how I was struck when I learned that Comte, a physicist, was the founder of such field early in the course of Introduction to Sociology, a required course for all the sociology major. 我記得當我大學 早期在 概論課程（所有社會學專業的必修課程） 得知物理學家孔德是社會學 的 創始人時 的，我感到非常震驚。 The course was taught by Mr. Ju-chi Hsi, who was a scholar born and educated in China and went to finish his college degree in Taiwan.

12:43 2/22/2021 竹圍教會首創的忘年團契就要開始了。  須要再微調這些相關的司靠，以便萬一有人願意受訪記下回憶，使這些成為實際運用的工具。 或許須要在安排訪談的時候說明這些相關的風險及承諾。 只要有紀錄說已經說明過了，即使沒有千同意書，也可當作是默許。這些說蒙的紀錄葛以成為在當事人過往之後發表回憶的基礎。 11:13 11/25/2020 元月投票選出總統之後參加旅行團遊日本一趟。除了觀賞我的第一個戶籍國日本的一些寶之外，也體驗到世界第一強傳染病的初發威脅。最難得的是親耳聽到一位創業、創領域的台灣人。迫不及待地相約在台灣見，學習一些創業的知識與思考。 二月下旬，映在美國親人的催促，臨時改變計畫逃回美國，偏安中西部。聽故事學事業的機會一下子泡湯了。 九月中旬，奇妙地又回到台灣，歪事接踵而來，時間精力不在掌握的範圍內。幾經折騰後，終於約到時間要去聽故事了。 如何準備、如何進行才可能是這回的故事收集成為關鍵性的轉折點。把回憶寫作法往前面再推一步呢？昨天想到的是一種新的契約使收集故事的步驟更簡潔、更易懂、更易被接受。過去草擬的契約是由提供故事的人簽字同意被訪談、被撰寫。可是簽約總是會讓人緊張、惶恐的事情，因為密密麻麻的條文不容一快速理解而放手簽下去。這回要嘗試的是反向的契約，由收集者簽署同意各項約束，交給被訪談者保存，放心講故事。 同意事項起碼包含下列： 此次訪談引言者與錄音/錄影/謄寫者是志願的無給工作，一切相關費用自行吸收。不索取任何形式的報償。 訪談者應該及時盡力說明訪談的優缺點及風險，並隨時提醒相關人士必要的預防措施，包括避免「涉及人事物」的直接論斷、攻擊、或間接（影射式）褒貶。 訪談者應該及時盡力提出值得刪除的「口誤」及涉及其他風險，包括隱私及機密，的內容，並提出相關的刪除計畫，含步驟。 訪談進行中所需的同步錄音或錄影由受訪者決定開始、結束、暫停、重聽、重看、刪除、恢復的時機。訪談者與操作機器者需尊重並適時配合操作。 訪談進行中所需的同步錄音或錄影所得歸受訪者所有。由受訪者決定何時、何段可以轉遞、公開、下架、銷毀，並以簽名書面通知確認。事後改變內容的要求在書面確認後才可執行。 訪談的錄音或錄影所得若由受訪者在事後提出改變內容的要求，操作「內容改變」者必須等收到確認書簽署後才可執行。 提供事後改變內容的成品一份給受訪者或其指定代理人士，並以簽名...

Dada Received its enigmatic name in February 1916; was a reaction against the brutality of war, the expediency of art and literature and the dangerous inadequacy of rational thought; in fact it spat out its contempt for the spiritual and moral decadence of a whole intellectual, cultural and social system. Born in neutral Zurich in the middle of the anarchic destruction of the Great War, it expressed its disgust with a morally culpable bourgeoisie and a spiritually nerveless art which had no objective beyond a simplistic social photography, a faith in its own function as anodyne and a reprehensible dedication to self-fulfilment. With unabashed relish Dada declared its negative intent: it wished, apparently, to destroy art along with bourgeois society, but in truth it opposed itself to the abuse of art rather than art itself, to society rather than humanity. Its exponents were poets and artists (Marcel Duchamp, Hugo Ball, Tristan Tzara, Richard Huelsenbeck, Man Ray, Max Ernst) wh...

2020-9-13 Sunday, the day before flying back to Taiwan We flew back from Taiwan to stay away from the thread and inconvenience of Corovid-19, on February 19. Quarantined at the home where we have been living for more than 15 years is a piece of cake. Actually ever since returning from Taiwan   2020-9-14 Monday There was a long line waiting for taxi. The policewoman tola me it might take an hour to clear up and I'd better wait inside. After an hour I went out and saw no line and some taxies waiting for riders. Filling out a form and receiving whole body sanitization with both hands raised at shoulder level a regular-sized taxi took me to my new home. The drive, who didn't respond to my friendly chatting, printed out a receipt for me to sign. It shows NT$$1350.00. I gave him $1,500 and told him to keep the changes. He seemed to be surprised. For the first time in life, I explored a new home all by myself. There were several urgent actions awaiting. 1. Make sure the key points we...
