The ideas and legacy of French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu 《區分:判斷力的社會批判》Distinction:A Social Critique of the Judgement of Taste

Unlike Chinese scholarship based on Western liberal-democratic models, which was and remains prone to censorship, Chinese aficionados of Schmitt’s ‘friend-enemy’ distinction and his critique of parliamentary democracy were unimpeded in their pursuits.


Start spreading the news: NYU hosted a record-breaking 19,600 international students last school year. And in 2017-18, we sent 4,793 students to study away. That's more than any other American college or university—a distinction we've held for 17 consecutive years. 🌎


怎樣申請英國的良民證?去問香港的英國領事館,他們也不管。上網求助,到處搜尋,終於找到管事的單位,有個Association of Chief Police Officers,可以接受網上申請。
密密麻麻,填了六七張表格,連同ㄧ張五十英鎊支票,快遞寄到約克郡。倒也快,十天後就收到良民證,簡單註明「No Trace」,意思是沒發現罪行和起訴紀錄。
(英式官腔老奸巨猾,不說你清白無瑕,只說沒發現,無跡可尋。將來要是有什麼差池,他們也有退身的後路。)

 The two companies are vying to become the primary gateway to the Internet. Google has long served as a destination to find websites and information; Facebook, to share gossip and photos with friends. But those distinctions are increasingly blurring, and billions in advertising dollars are at stake.這兩家公司目前正在相互競爭﹐都希望成為通往互聯網的首要門戶。長期以來﹐谷歌一直是人們尋找網站和信息的選擇﹐而Facebook則是與朋友聊八卦和分享圖片的地方。但這些差別現在越來越模糊﹐而這關係著數十億美元的廣告業務。



It is this jaundice about the limits of public trust that transfigures this MTDC poster's audience from being Rousseau's heirs, "forced to be free," to being Foucault's modernist heroes, who make a "voluntary choice" to invent themselves in contradistinction to the many Narayan Ekenaths who still populate their world.

RL:
今天為大家介紹 countermand ,它源自古法語 contremander ,今天的法文部分就是介紹這個古法語字彙。至於對應的當代法語字彙,可使用 contrordre, annuler 。今日字彙由表示「相反(方向或目的等)、反對」之義的字首 counter-, contre- 與表示「命令」之 mand, mander 組成。由 counter- 組成的複合字通常不加連字符號( - ),但是法文由 contre- 組成的複合字加不加連字符號,似乎不相上下,甚至字典之間常有出入,其中之規則我不了解。因為字首 counter-, contre- 源自拉丁字首 contr(a)- ,所以表示「相反、反對」之義的字彙,有些是保留了拉丁字首的形式,例如 contraceptive, contradistinction, contrabassoon, contrarotatif, contravis 。今日字彙的其他相關資料請參考《我的英漢辭典》和《我的法漢辭典》。
