Ursula K. Le Guin on the absurdity of denying your age: “If I’m ninety and believe I’m forty-five, I’m headed for a very bad time trying to get out of the bathtub.” On cultural perceptions of fantasy: “The direction of escape is toward freedom. So what is ‘escapism’ an accusation of?” On breakfast: “Eating an egg from the shell takes not only practice, but resolution, even cour...(展开全部)

時尚／LV；運動／Nike；電腦／IBM……，眼下我們生存的時代，品牌形象代表一切，連小學生也懂得要用名牌。要表現自己的專業、品味、社經地位，就要消費特定的產品，不管你是否真喜歡其品質。獲得消費者的品牌認同，就等於獲利的保證，於是新創的品牌虎視眈眈，欲取市場第一品牌之位而代之。至於沒有顯赫招牌的產品，往往價美物廉還是乏人問津。 知名品牌挾著雄厚的資本、強勢的行銷能力、全球運籌（global logistics）的經營觀念，令其產品席捲全世界。一種產品行銷全球，創造了後現代的國際風格，統一了世人的消費觀，卻斲傷了異文化的豐富性。全球性的公司聲稱要支持文化的多樣性，其實他們所謂的「多元文化主義」只是生產更多的產品，讓消費者有較多的購買選擇。 而在知名品牌風光行銷全球的背後，是許多不為人注意的勞工。他們其中的大多數人無法分享公司的鉅額利...(展开全部)

For over 2,000 years, they worried anxiously about fluids to which our modern doctors spare hardly a thought (such as sweat, phlegm and qi) and they obsessed over details (such as whether a person’s pores were open or closed) whose meaning and vital impor...(展开全部)

Plastic is ubiquitous. It is in the Arctic, the depths of the Mariana Trench, and in the high mountaintops of the Pyrenees. It is in the air we breathe and the water we drink.

In Plastic Matter Heather Davis traces plastic’s relations to ...(展开全部)
