Andrzeja Frycza Modrzewskiego WPROWADZENIE. ARCHITEKTONICZNE DIALOGI Dyskusje o architekturze toczą się nieprzerwanie w wielu środowiskach. Jaka była? Jaka jest i jaka będzie? A jaka być powinna? Architektura jest odbiciem czasów, w których żyjemy. Musi odpowiadać na potrzeby ekonomiczne, społecz­ ne i środowiskowe - zadaniem architekta jest reagować na nie w sposób twórczy, a zarazem racjonalny. Ideologiczno-akademickie spory na temat formy, funkcji i piękna zawsze będą aktualne, choć coraz częściej wzbogacane są dyskusją o roli architektury w ekonomii, recyklingu, psychologii i socjologii, towarzysząc rów­ nież debatom o polityce zrównoważonego rozwoju. Słowa Winstona Churchilla: „my kształtujemy nasze budynki, a one kształtują nas”, nie tracą na aktualności, bo wciąż widać, jak silne jest oddziaływanie architektury na społeczeństwo i jak przemożny jej wpływ na życie codzienne. Niniejszy zeszyt „Państwa i Społeczeństwa” - drugi już poświęcony archi­ tekturze - nosi tytuł Architektoniczne dialogi i stanowi zaproszenie do szerszej dyskusji. Autorzy artykułów - architekci, twórcy, badacze i krytycy - sprowoko­ wani tematem, spojrzeli na architekturę z nowej perspektywy, wychodząc poza ramy akademickiej dyskusji, nastawionej jedynie na estetyczne aspekty formalne. Dziecko i jego miejsce we współczesnym mieście Anny Palej to postulat edukacji najmłodszych jako przyszłych świadomych obywateli, odpowiedzial­ nych za kształt naszych miast. Autorka przybliża m.in. rolę miejsca dziecka w środowisku miejskim i trudne zadanie kształtowania jego postaw. W artykule Przestrzenie publiczne - zbudowane ramy dialogu społecznego Piotr Wróbel opi­ suje typy przestrzeni architektoniczno-urbanistycznych stanowiących tło dla nie­ 6 KATARZYNA BANASIK-PETRI skrępowanych obywatelskich wypowiedzi publicznych oraz wskazuje rolę, jaką pełnią, jako naturalna scenografia życia społecznego w demokratycznym pań­ stwie. Badanie Barbary Stec, zatytułowane Dialog człowieka z architekturą, to analiza specyficznej relacji rodzącej się między twórcą i odbiorcą, a dziełem. Au­ torka czerpie konkretne przykłady z twórczości Petera Zumthora, Kengo Kumy i Josepa Lluisa Serta Lópeza. Marta A. Urbańska w artykule Architektura dia­ logu: w stronę przestrzeni pytań i odpowiedzi zadaje pytanie, jaka powinna być nowa architektura kontekstualna; autorka rozwija pojęcia mimikry i negacji oraz architektury tła, wskazując różne możliwości rozwiązań bez ich wartościowania. Poniższa seria artykułów to analiza dyskursu architektonicznego odnoszą­ ca się bezpośrednio do konkretnych przykładów realizacji architektonicznych. W pracy Dialog Renzo Piano z Louisem Kahnem: Kimbell Art Museum w Forth Worth Artur Jasiński opisuje wirtuozerię architekta rozbudowującego w roku 2013 gmach muzeum przy jednoczesnym zachowaniu i utrzymaniu nastroju miejsca w budynku z lat 70. XX wieku. Bartosz Haduch poprzez Dialog architektury i sztu­ ki w twórczości pracowni Herzog & de Meuron ukazuje unikatowy, współczesny sposób ich łączenia; podaje również przykłady wybranych realizacji szwajcarskie­ go duetu współpracującego z odmiennymi artystami. Współczesna architektura chińska Drugiej Fali - Modernizm Udomowiony autorstwa Krzysztofa Ingardena jest próbą przybliżenia architektury chińskiej, gdzie szczególna uwaga zwrócona zostaje na realizacje architektów młodego pokolenia, którzy w swojej twórczości pragną odbudować relacje z utraconą tradycją i odnaleźć zapomniane dziedzic­ two. Elżbieta i Małgorzata Kaczmarskie w artykule Nowa architektura w uzdro­ wiskach Zatoki Biskajskiej wskazują dzieła o oryginalnej estetyce, swoją nowo­ czesnością wpisujące się w krajobraz i rozwój tych nadmorskich miejscowości. W artykule Collegium Nobilium - architektura społecznego dialogu Agnieszki Starzyk autorka przeanalizowała funkcję społeczną architektury dialogicznej oraz jej wpływ na rozwiązania formalne i funkcjonalne, za przykład biorąc budynek Akademii Teatralnej im. Aleksandra Zelwerowicza w Warszawie. Manhattan - niekończący się dialog Katarzyny Petri to przegląd wybranych wysokościowców na Manhattanie w kontekście wizji miasta idealnego Franka Lloyda Wrighta i Le Corbusiera. Autorka zastanawia się nad ewolucją wznoszonych na Manhattanie struktur wieżowych oraz ich przyszłością. Personalne wnętrza Emilii Malec-Zię- by to bardzo osobiste spojrzenie architekta wnętrz z perspektywy praktyka na pro­ ces kształtowania przestrzeni dla przyszłego użytkownika w celu wykreowania zindywidualizowanej strefy komfortu psychicznego; autorka na przykładzie wła­ snych projektów podaje sposoby jej realizacji. Podjęte zagadnienia stanowią zaledwie zalążek możliwych dyskusji doty­ czących kreacji współczesnej architektury, jako dziedziny reagującej na sygnały z różnych sfer ludzkiego życia. Cytując prof. Jana Gehla - architektura powin­ na odpowiadać podstawowemu kryterium, jakim jest „kultura budowania”, co bezpośrednio wpływa na jej jakość i tworzy „kulturę architektoniczną”, w której wszystkim użytkownikom żyje się komfortowo i bezpiecznie.

  • 1 Regulatory and Policy Framework for Religion During The
    1 FREEDOM OF RELIGION Regulatory and Policy Framework for Religion During the Commission’s 2015 reporting year, the Chinese gov- ernment and Communist Party continued to restrict freedom of re- ligion in China. China’s Constitution guarantees ‘‘freedom of reli- gious belief’’ 1 but limits protection of religious activities to ‘‘normal religious activities.’’ 2 This narrow protection contravenes inter- national human rights standards. Article 18 of the Universal Dec- laration of Human Rights (UDHR) and Article 18 of the Inter- national Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR)—the lat- ter of which China has signed 3 and stated its intent to ratify 4— recognize not only an individual’s right to adopt a religion or belief, but also the freedom to manifest one’s religion in ‘‘worship, observ- ance, practice and teaching.’’ 5 The Chinese government continued to recognize only five reli- gions: Buddhism, Catholicism, Islam, Protestantism, and Taoism. The 2005 Regulations on Religious Affairs (RRA) require groups wishing to practice these religions to register with the government and subject such groups to government controls.6 The government and Party control religious affairs mainly through the State Ad- ministration for Religious Affairs (SARA) and lower level religious affairs bureaus under the State Council,7 the Party Central Com- mittee United Front Work Department (UFWD),8 and the five ‘‘pa- triotic’’ religious associations—the Buddhist Association of China (BAC), the Catholic Patriotic Association of China (CPA), the Is- lamic

ABSTRACT Conversion by the Book: Buddhist Print Culture in Early Republican China 經典佛化: 民國初期佛教出版文化 Gregory Adam Scott 史瑞戈 In this dissertation I argue that print culture acted as a catalyst for change among Buddhists in modern China. Through examining major publication institutions, publishing projects, and their managers and contributors from the late nineteenth century to the 1920s, I show that the expansion of the scope and variety of printed works, as well as new the social structures surrounding publishing, substantially impacted the activity of Chinese Buddhists. In doing so I hope to contribute to ongoing discussions of the ‘revival’ of Chinese Buddhism in the modern period, and demonstrate that publishing, propelled by new print technologies and new forms of social organization, was a key field of interaction and communication for religious actors during this era, one that helped make possible the introduction and adoption of new forms of religious thought and practice. 本論文的論點是出版文化在近代中國佛教人物之中,扮演了變化觸媒的角色. 通過研究從十 九世紀末到二十世紀二十年代的主要的出版機構, 種類, 及其主辦人物與提供貢獻者, 論文 說明佛教印刷的多元化 以及範圍的大量擴展, 再加上跟出版有關的社會結構, 對中國佛教 人物的活動都發生了顯著的影響. 此研究顯示在被新印刷技術與新形式的社會結構的推進 下的出版事業, 為該時代的宗教人物展開一種新的相互連結與構通的場域, 因而使新的宗教 思想與實踐的引入成為可能. 此論文試圖對現行關於近代中國佛教的所謂'復興'的討論提出 貢獻.

  • Carbon Nanodots: Antimicrobial Photosensitizers | Encyclopedia
    Carbon Nanodots: Antimicrobial Photosensitizers Subjects: Nanotechnology Contributors: Rachael Knoblauch , Chris D. Geddes Submitted by: Rachael Knoblauch Definition Carbon nanodots are fluorescent, quasi-spherical nanoparticles that have been investigated and modified for numerous applications. In recent years, the utility of these structures for antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (APDT) has been of increasing interest. For this technology, light is used to trigger the generation of reactive oxygen species which subsequently inactivate or kill pathogenic microorganisms. Carbon nanodots are of interest for this application due to their simple, "green" synthesis methods and their tunable organic structures and luminescent properties. Herein we share some recent developments in the field of antimicrobial carbon nanodots, highlighting their increasing relevance and potential in this area. 1. Introduction Although the threat of antibiotic resistance development in pathogenic bacteria is not a new challenge, it remains to date a pressing concern in regard to global health. Antibiotics have been a primary tool for combating infectious diseases, yet the timescale of development for next-generation antibiotics remains lengthy due to the complexities and cost of not only drug discovery, but also clinical testing and ultimately approval. Additionally, bacteria have a multitude of mechanisms by which they can rapidly acquire resistance,[1][2] which is of particular concern for high-risk populations such as those in healthcare settings.[3][4] For those with concurrent conditions, such as cancer, bacterial infections can severely worsen patient health;[5][6] infections may also delay wound recovery even when treated, with some negative health impacts associated with current disinfection techniques.[7] These cumulative effects place a premium on developing techniques to mitigate the threat of infection from deadly pathogens, namely by improved sterilization technologies.

Heller, Chair This dissertation examines the textual production and doctrinal import of the gong’an commentarial verses of Hongzhi Zhengjue in the context of Chan literary traditions as well as his usage of secular literature. During the Song period (960–1279) revival of the Caodong lineage, Hongzhi was an influential figure, who promoted Silent Illumination Chan (mozhao chan). Hongzhi was talented in writing in a variety of genres, including verses, portrait poetry, and commentaries on gong’an (public cases). My study examines Hongzhi’s gong’an texts and uses them as a window to understand Chan literary traditions of the Song period. In addition to situating Hongzhi’s gong’an writings within Chan contexts, my dissertation places his gong’an commentarial verses within contemporary secular literary culture. My study considers how Hongzhi participated in mainstream literary culture by engaging in gong’an commentarial verses and poetry for literati. ii My dissertation is divided into four chapters. Chapter 1 considers the context and Hongzhi’s life.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 A Theoretical Study of Zhang Ailing’s Short Story Collection Chuanqi Abstract This thesis applies three literary theories as approaches to the study ofChuanqi , the short story collection of the modem Chinese writer Zhang Ailing. A feminist reading of Chuanqi demonstrates that the social roles of women are actually the projections of men’s desires. Women, deprived of the right to define themselves, can only struggle to live up to men’s expectations which, however, twist their mentality. A Lacanian study of Chuanqi points out how characters keep transforming their desires into fantasies which, once condensed into signifiers, will he imposed upon other people, the embodiments of the signifieds. However, the characters’ desires are never satisfied since people always fail to act in accordance with the signifiers tagged to them.

  • Chicken and Family Prosperity: Marital Ritual Among the Miao in Southwest China
    Studies on Asia CHICKEN AND FAMILY PROSPERITY: MARITAL RITUAL AMONG THE MIAO IN SOUTHWEST CHINA Xianghong Feng Eastern Michigan University, Ypsilanti, Michigan For a week in April 2002, I was on a journalistic reporting trip in Xingyi City, the capital of Qianxinan Miao1 and Buyi Ethnic Groups Autonomous Prefecture in Guizhou Province, China. I had not had a chance to glimpse the people and the city until a rainy afternoon when I decided to put the interview routine aside and went to explore instead. Too little time and too much to see, and too wet to enjoy the outdoors, I spent my free afternoon in the local Guizhou Minorities’ Marriage Custom Museum. I was the only visitor that afternoon, and I enjoyed my visit with the luxury of a private tour by the curator Mr. Mingyong Zhao. The exhibition mainly focused on the local Miao marriage customs in Guizhou.
