The Chinese exclusion law was the first time in American history that immigrants were barred because of their race and class. On Saturday, a rally in San Francisco is aimed at learning from the past and preventing it from repeating.

1928年5月6日，蔡元培、于右任、胡適之等人發起，在徐匯公學為馬相伯慶九十壽辰。蔡元培祝辭謂中國科學發展出於宗教家，盛稱馬相伯早年提倡科學有力。
胡適對記者說 :"馬相伯先生是我們的 "國之瑰寶 " 他的一言一行 應該有一個人在他的身旁 隨時把它記下來"---此語啟發胡頌平記《胡適晚年談話錄》。
《胡適日記》：.....他們要我演說，...我提議馬先生留一部紀錄給我們，使我們知道這九十年的社會的生活的片段。
他生於一八三九*，這九十年為社會史上重要時期，更為中國史上最重要的過渡時期。
*另外資料為1840

5月6日，Sigmund Freud 1859-1939生日。凡是讀過他晚年為口腔癌奮戰的情形，無不動容。Peter Gay的Sigmund Freud傳還說20年代末，許多歐洲菁英都是諾貝爾文學獎的對手，包括Sigmund Freud、Thomas Mann等等。

對我們台灣，更有意義的是"臺灣文藝聯盟" 1934.5.6~ 1936.8在台中成立，機關雜誌《臺灣文藝》(The Taiwan-Bungei) 1934.11起15期。尚未一讀，很遺憾。
(1936.12.22~24 郁達夫訪台， 張深切、林文騰、張興建、李獻璋 等合照)

Sigmund Freud’s writings changed how we perceive human behaviour, giving insights into perhaps the original unreliable narrator – the self. Happy birthday to the founder of psychoanalysis.




Does Sigmund Freud still matter?
Psychoanalytic theory has changed a lot in the 75 years since his death, but literature still feels the Austrian’s influence, argues Jane Ciabattari.

"A Dangerous Method" portrayed Freud as a witty patriarch, siding with him against his stiff-necked protégé Carl Jung

Alexander von Humboldt—who died on May 6th 1859—had an insatiable curiosity for the natural world, a “perpetual drive” for knowledge that felt as if he was being chased by “10,000 pigs”

Dec. 24: William Makepeace Thackeray, 天聲人語 耶路撒冷與威脅

天聲人語 耶路撒冷與威脅 January 7, 2018 位於約旦河西岸的巴勒斯坦自治區雷馬拉(Ramallah)近郊。巴勒斯坦的年輕人們在此進行大規模的抗議活動，除了燃燒輪胎等，也與以色列治安當局發生衝突=攝於2017年12月7日(渡邊丘) 　　這是發生在2009年、村上春樹獲頒以色列文學獎「耶路撒冷獎」時的事情。據了解，當時有許多人勸阻他「別出席頒獎典禮」。以色列軍隊的攻擊日益加劇，許多巴勒斯坦人民為此喪失性命。若領取這個獎項，恐怕相當於認同以色列的軍事活動。 　　即便如此，村上還是遠赴參加，並在演講中批評以色列。他在演講中提到:「假設有高聳的牆壁，以及擲牆破碎的雞蛋，我永遠會站在雞蛋那方。」顯而易見，所謂的雞蛋，指的是遭武力摧毀、燒毀的人民；而牆壁指的則是以色列軍方。 　　以色列於1948年宣布建國以來，有70萬名巴勒斯坦人逃離家鄉成了難民。而背離悲劇的一方，選擇站在堅固高牆那方的，便是川普總統的態度。 　　川普總統將猶太教及伊斯蘭教的聖地耶路撒冷，承認為以色列首都。甚至威脅表示，將可能對在聯合國決議中譴責此舉的國家中止援助。即使是商業貿易也過於無情。別說是為了調停中東和平，不如說是在攪局。 　　外界始終認為，美國的強項不僅是軍事及經濟上的力量，還有文化及價值觀等軟實力。提倡此論點的政治學者約瑟夫·奈爾指出:「並非動用威脅或金錢力量，而是自然拉攏對方，獲得所追求的事物之能力。」這番議論成立之時的光景令人懷念。 　　隨著外界對川普的抗議，迄今已有10名巴勒斯坦人死亡。若非總統的輕舉妄動及妄言，這些人命將不會殞落。 　　原文刊載於2017年12月24日 William Makepeace Thackeray  died in London, England on this day in 1863 (aged 52). "The world is a looking-glass, and gives back to every man the reflection of his own face. Frown at it, and it will in turn look sourly upon you; laugh at it and with it, and it is a jolly kind...
