Description是次講座以文化史角度，觀察中國武術百年來的發展歷程和近況。古典的文化史偏重精英群和正統的學術、藝術和思想創作。隨著歷史研究的視野擴大，歷史中的不同性別、階級和社群的經歷，感受與表達方式受到同樣的關注，同時也剖開了種種社會實踐的深層意義。我們得以瞭解不同傳統可以並存，沒有一種有必然的正當性。它們並存而且互相滲透。就算是當權者的區分，也不必然會令所謂次要的傳統消失。二十世紀之前，記載武術的文獻稀少，但都能顯示武術在國家層次的國防和教育價值，在民間的自衛、健體、娛樂和信仰功能。冷兵器時代結束，武術的實用性大減，其奇幻的一面也受到科學的挑戰，但在二十世紀民族建設的過程中，武術一度肩負強民強國的重擔，也經歷了力圖體制化、去蕪存菁和取長補短的國術運動。國術沒有在短時間達到既定的文化和民族目標，但在大戰之後至今，在華人社會展示出不同的活態，在近幾十年全球化和資訊發展中也得到新的養份，大小不同的武術傳統得以並存。語言: 廣東話

Jerusalem, a city revered by Jews, Christians, and Muslims, has been depicted on legions of maps, probably earlier and more frequently than any other city. This talk will survey the maps of Jerusalem through time, from the 6th century Madaba Mosaic map, to the early accurate maps from the late 19th century. Some of the maps depicted a realistic view of Jerusalem but many others are imaginary images of Jerusalem of the Holy Scriptures. Therefore the maps serve as a mirror through which we can look at the development of Jerusalem on one hand and at the perceptions of the Holy City held by European scholars and map-makers on the other hand.The event is co-organized by the Library and Division of Social Science. Prof. Kellee Tsai, Division Head and Chair Professor of Social Science, will introduce Prof. Rubin before the talk.A reception will be held before the talk at 12:30.Attendees can expect to acquire knowledge of the following:About historical-cultural aspects of Jerusalem and the Holy Land.Develop and deepen interests for geography and history.Develop artistic skills in appreciating historical maps and some basic skills and dimensions in appreciating maps.
