近代戏院建筑立面语言与广告符号研究——以上海为例

近代开埠以来,随着工业和商贸的发展,城市开始以商品经济发展为主,传统戏曲和西方影戏成为日常娱乐消费内容,戏院建筑也开始具有商业属性,其立面形式成为吸引大众的“招牌”。在过往的研究中,戏院建筑研究集中在空间形式上,建筑立面的研究相对较少。因此,研究以近代报刊和档案中的戏院建筑记录为基础,将建筑立面语言元素作为单个概率事件,通过信息熵和相对丰富度计算,衡量近代上海戏院建筑语言多样性特征和发展趋向,提取标识性符号,并归纳建筑语言的构成特征和符号类型。发现存在社会认同变迁下新形式的迭代,消费层级分化也影响标志性形式塑造,在形式传播过程中出现符号化运用,形成普适性的广告符号。

Episches Theater的汉译名问题

作为布莱希特式美学的核心观念,Episches Theater的汉译名基于相关研究的不同侧重点有了多重指向,“史诗剧”“叙事剧”“叙述体戏剧”“叙事诗体戏剧”均有其合理性。但若考虑到布莱希特式美学“非亚里士多德式戏剧”的根本立场和Episches Theater一词与亚里士多德《诗学》中史诗的密切关系,以及包括布莱希特在内的西方文化界、知识界对该词的普遍理解与使用语境,则“史诗剧”仍然是最为符合西方文论思想与国内译介传统的汉译名。

“影像宗祠”的情感幻象:数字时代何以建构“死—生”之媒?

数字时代的媒介变革加速了个体家园的失落和“在地宗祠”的消亡,媒介化的生存模式与社交意识也似乎渗入到生死之间的情感裂缝中。前—数字时代,“在地宗祠”在时间、空间、通灵向度上探索了死生沟通的某种可能性;数字时代,由大数据和AI算法生成的“影像宗祠”或许能延续逝者的“死后生命”,超越“在地宗祠”的阈限,成为一个在数字空间促成生—死对话的“灵媒”。然而,“影像宗祠”或许难以在时空与情感这两重维度上让生者与逝者真正建立起死—生联结,它所提供的是一种使生者沉溺其中的“电影幻象”。无论对这一幻象加以拒斥或允诺臣服,生者都将陷入某种两难困境,并被迫面对数字时代的挑战。

Annual Reports of Non-profit Organizations （NPOs）： An Analysis

Non-profit organizations （NPOs） in Malaysia are not subjected to statutory requirement to follow the accounting standards when preparing their annual reports. This study analyzed the annual reports of 100 NPOs registered with the Registry of Society （ROS） under the charity and religious categories. The objectives of this study are： （1） to determine the current state of reporting practices by NPOs; and （2） to describe the contents of a set of annual reports and the financial statement presentation of NPOs. This study found that there were variations in reporting practices among the charity and religious categories of NPOs. On average, the results show that NPOs do not focus on the disclosing information required by the ROS, the governing body of NPOs. This indicates that the regulators need to strongly practice enforcement to strengthen the compliance of the annual reports submission. Overall, the findings of this study provide useful information to regulators as a basis for preparing and presenting NPOs＇ annual report framework in the future.

Last Shakespeare Plays Directed by Yukio Ninagawa： Possessed by the Power of Theater

Yukio Ninagawa （1935-2016） was expected to achieve in a few years the great milestone of directing the complete collection of Shakespeare plays in new Japanese translations. This paper reconsiders Ninagawa＇s direction from a global/local perspective with a special focus on several last works directed by him： Richard II, performed by young players of the Saitama Next Theater in February 2012, which was especially intended for the local Japanese audience; Ninagawa Macbeth, which was performed in September 2015 and was a revival of the director＇s internationally-acclaimed production, first performed in Japan in 1980 and abroad in 1985 onwards; and Two Gentlemen of Verona, the thirty-first in his series of Shakespeare plays and seventh in his series of Shakespeare plays with all-male casts, in October 2015. His last plays were not as perfect as he was still experimenting. This paper concludes, however, that while possessed by the power of theater, his direction emits its magical and subversive power and suggestion to give the audience vital energy to live in this world of tough conflicts. He continued to hope to make global and local spectators wonder at the plays he directed.
