「全球千名婦女爭評 2005 年諾貝爾和平獎」工作坊系列之二

“性權 、 家庭暴力與和平”

Sexual Rights, Domestic Violence and Peace ----1000 Women for Nobel Peace Prize Workshop II

 

 

和平讓我們想起「暴力」。暴力不僅存在於搶奪他人的土地﹑資源和殺戮別的民族成員的戰爭中﹐也存在於日常生活中﹐包括剝奪他人如何處理自己的性和身體的權利﹐以及他人能在一個不受威脅的家庭環境中生活的權利。女性通常是這些性和家庭暴力的受害者﹐而施暴者可能是身邊的丈夫﹑情人﹑社會福利署﹑警察﹐甚至你我無形的歧視眼光。究竟一些曾經是暴力的受害者的婦女﹐如何變成和平大使﹖一些性工作團體的組織者﹐又如何與「阿姐」共同爭取性權和工作權﹐建立和平文化﹖請來參加這個有關婦女與和平的工作坊。

Peace is related to violence. Violence is not confined to wars, but also includes all sorts of exploitation and menace in our daily life. Women are generally victims of sexual and family violence. They may be exploited by their husbands, lovers, government officials, police, and all forms of discrimination. But some victims of family violence stand up and become peace ambassadors. Other women work for the rights of sex workers. You may listen to their stories and how they create peace culture in the community in this workshop.

日期 Date ： 23/01/2005 ( 星期日 SUN )

時間 Time ： 14:00 – 17:00

地點 Venue ：城市大學教學樓 5 樓 B5310 室 (Room B5310, 5/F, Academic Building , City University of Hong Kong )

Cultural Policy and the Role of the Public Intellectual in Contemporary Societies [in English]

 

 

ABSTRACT

Policy indicates the existence of institutions and management. Does culture need institutions and management? If it does, who should be responsible for the policy making and whom should cultural policy serve? If cultural policy is the attempted realization of a collective vision, how are the elite and the masses positioned in this vision? Can, or should, cultural policy become an instrument in the building of national or ethnic identity, and while doing so, what sorts of benefit or risk are involved? While trying to answer these fundamental questions, Prof Lung will draw references from her own experiences as cultural policy-maker for the city of Taipei as well as offer her observations of Hong Kong .

BIO 

Prof. Lung Yingtai is a celebrated essayist and cultural critic, with a total of 15 published titles to her credit in Chinese. Essays in other languages had appeared in European newspapers such as the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung before she accepted the appointment as the first Commissioner of the Cultural Affairs Bureau of the City Government of Taipei in 1999. Lung’s poignant and critical essays directly contributed to the democratization of Taiwan and as the only Taiwanese writer with a column in major Chinese newspapers, she is considered one of the most influential writers in China as well. With her work as cultural architect of Taipei (1999-2003), she has been compared to Andre Malraux in terms of her impact on contemporary culture in Taiwan and Greater China. Professor Lung is currently a visiting Professor at the City University of Hong Kong and a Consultant to the Kwan Fong CRD at Lingnan University .

Ms Wong Ying-kay, Ada , JP is Chairperson of Hong Kong Institute of Contemporary Culture and Chairperson of the Wanchai District Board.
