In doing so, we describe how Socrates, once declared by the Oracle to be ＂the wisest man,＂ starts to analyze what wisdom actually means. In trying to contradict the Oracle, Socrates mixes with different social groups including politicians, poets, and artisans. He discovers that none of them possess a real understanding or awareness of what wisdom actually is. Thus, Socrates concludes that he must be the wisest man because, ＂he knows that he does not know.＂ This ignorantia docta is a type of humanistic knowledge展开更多

Individually, each of these aspects will allow us a reflection over different points of view here articulated in a sociocultural approach. We have, thus, organized this discussion based on two main themes. We will start with the ＂Campanha da Legalidade＂ （Campaign for Legality）, the occasion which congregates both themes, and then we will discuss both the historical context of the 1964 military coup and the role of the radio media and its strong social and political presence.展开更多

The serial play, including six parts,1 displays the life of ordinary people, primarily the middle and labor classes. Historically, Human Condition tells about Taiwan Residents＇ life from the period of Japanese occupation in Taiwan to the present day. The public＇s everyday life and their cultural activities are delicately represented on the stage. Human Condition especially focuses on people living in Taipei city, the capital and most populated place of the country. In different historical periods and political atmospheres, the characters＇ economic and social activities, nostalgic feelings about the past, passions for love and friendship, and awakening of fighting for humanity and freedom construct their social positions as well as establish different aspects of Taipei. We can see the transformation of the city by means of people＇s social relationships and economic activities. Drawing on Henri Lefebvre＇s concept of everyday life as rhythmic movement and spatial practice in the process of urbanization, this paper aims at studying the characters＇ social practice that defines their position and formation of identity within place. Human Condition unravels the characters＇ connection and disconnection from place in each period of Taiwan＇s historical and political conditions. The life in Taipei differs from each historical, economic, and political system that defines people＇s attitudes and perspectives toward this land. The characters within every historical background and political system tell us what Taipei represents and symbolizes to people. The transition of Taipei produces impacts on people that endow them with different personalities and perspectives toward life. As globalization invades into this city, the definition of human in city life has to be reconsidered. As a place of encounter, accumulation of cultural hybridity in Taipei formulates multiple dispositions and social structures. By analyzing the characters represented in every historical period of Taipei, this article interrogates to what extent of ＂in-place＂ or ＂out-of-place＂ of the characters is interpreted in this space and, in the progress of urbanized development of Taipei, what the value is to affect and connect people＇s relationships.展开更多
