2	108 Kōans Smith, Derek Wesley 01 May 2013 (has links) The capacity for creative thought is of utmost importance for the survival and furtherance of humanity. Luckily, creative thought is the most essential aspect of humanity; it is what defines us. Unfortunately, we have created a society that tries to make us forget that. I am building a body of work that encourages mindfulness and heightens awareness. Awareness of self and mindfulness in everyday activities are prerequisites to social and spiritual evolution. I want nothing less than to expand human consciousness. 108 Kōans occurred over a period of time that I devoted to maintaining a "beginner's mind." During that time, 108 evidences of this practice were produced. These are my kōans. They are events, observations, sounds, interventions, texts, images, scripts, objects, rearrangements, etc.--experiments in recontextualization that attempt to remind people of the ability they have to recontextualize their everyday. If we can become aware of our everyday habits and assumptions and experiences--the mundane thoughts and actions that make up the bulk of who we are--then we will realize that there are other ways of being that are available to us. This awareness will then extend to examinations of cultural, social, and institutional habits. People cannot imagine another way of existence for society until they can imagine another way of being themselves. We must become literate in the language of creativity. We must celebrate our self as one with the Universe and realize that the nature of the Universe is change. creativity free koan play trickster Zen

4	《三言》公案小說的罪與法 / Crimes and Law in "San Yan" Koan Story 霍建國, Huoh, Jiann-Gwo Unknown Date (has links) 公案小說為中國古代小說的一個門類，如同其他的文學形式一般，亦有其時代性。《三言》公案小說位於明代公案小說專集的前緣地帶，在內容上出現了許多法律現象與法制資料，如犯罪行為的描述，破案判案的過程，法務機關及司法過程，刑罰內容、訴狀與判決書。由於《三言》小說除了明人故事外，其他時代的話本在流傳過程中亦可能經過明人的加工與修改，故本論文即以「明律」為研究依據，期望一、在形式上研究小說與法制素材結合的情形，並驗證小說中法制素材的真實性。二、從內容中去探討罪與法在公案小說中的相對關係，以及法的理念在小說中表現或處理方式。第一章緒論，主要敘述公案小說的意義及流變，《三言》公案小說創作的律法背景，本論文的研究動機及撰述重點。第二章討論《三言》公案小說情節與律法的關係，著重「罪」與「法」的分析、證明，以期瞭解公案小說犯罪類別和比重以及依法判決的真實性。並研究公案情節在小說結構中的作用。第三章就犯罪者、執法者及其他關係人三方面，以身份職業分類，將《三言》公案小說人物的行為舉止、言語談吐、心理活動的描繪，歸納分析，以求了解法律觀與法律認知在個人與社會存在的情形。第四章分析《三言》公案小說文字中律法用語的出處及使用情形，俗諺語中的公門形象及法律經驗。並考證訴狀、判決書的格式與內容的真實性。第五章結論，就本論文研究結果提出總結，並提出研究中遭遇之困難及若干尚待深入考察的問題。公案小說情節人物文字 Koan Story Plot Personae Writing
