孔门教《诗》与《诗》之属性嬗变

春秋后期,诗从坏乐之中蝉蜕而出,诗教变乐语之教为纯粹诗教,汇入既有之德义礼治的教育传统,从附庸走向独立。《诗》属性的这一历史性嬗替乃是籍孔门重置《诗》教目的而完成的。官学下移民间,孔子设计教育造士,立四教,分四科,观念重理想、实践重事功,以《诗》为其文教教材,并赋予其不同于乐教时代的全新目的。较之于古乐官,孔子论乐不必及诗;较之于古师儒辈,孔子论诗不必及德义。一方面持续古乐官和古师儒辈的造士理想的高调;另一方面因应时代,把《诗》教落实到向社会供应达政专对、可以言、言而文的事君、事父的人材,实现了《诗》属性的独立与重置。这既体现了夫子教《诗》的时代性和实用性,又成就了《诗》新的历史功能和身份属性。

道学的韵律——兼论美学与丑学的合题

启道是女娲伏羲敬天悯物的造化,体道是中华先民与生俱来的禀赋,盘道是华夏诸族慎终追远的反问,原道是炎黄子孙牵系命运的商兑。“启”、“体”、“盘”、“原”构成了中华先民天人互动式的道学问;“化”、“赋”、“问”、“兑”体现出华夏传统美丑兼审中的道精神。这是中华文化与道俱化的文律,也是审道一族化解美丑的韵致。     

眼睛的符号学取向——王国维"境界说"探源之一

论文追溯了王国维"境界说"中"真景物"与"真感情"两个概念的西方思想渊源.论文指出叔本华的直观说与海甫定的情感心理学分别构成了二者的理论支点,而所谓"观我"的理论则是联接二者的桥梁.西方的认识论美学是王国维建构"境界说"所依赖的最主要的理论资源.     

The performativity of the yield curve

This article explores the wide-ranging influence of the yield curve – a diagrammatic device for representing the term structure of effective interest rates on market-traded debt instruments – in contemporary monetary, financial and economic life. Drawing on the expanding literature on financial performativity, including within the field of cultural economy, the article submits that by virtue of its centrality to multiple, closely interconnected and often highly recursive sets of relations between economies, financial markets and central banks, the yield curve is performative at a range of different levels; and, parsing various different extant understandings of performativity, the article theorizes the particular nature of such performativity in the yield curve context. Against the grain of the bulk of the literature on financial performativity, however, the article also endeavors to connect the yield curve’s performativity explicitly to questions of privilege (the privileges of representation) and power (the power to perform) and their unequal distribution. That is to say, the article argues that to understand the multidimensional performativity of the yield curve, we need to draw out its political as well as cultural economy.
