偉大的領主經過時，有智慧的農民深深鞠躬又默默放屁。——衣索比亞諺語權力關係無所不在，如何演好形式上的服從……《反穀》《國家的視角》作者、2020年赫緒曼獎（The Albert O. Hirschman Prize）得主詹姆斯．斯科特社會科學經典之作這部里程碑式著作，將修正我們對從屬與支配、順服與反抗背後的各種觀念的理解，並為權力關係的研究提供一條新的路徑。當代著名人類學家斯科特書寫統治者視角之外的政治表達深入隱藏文本，拼湊出最完整的權力關係圖像精準描繪支配與抵抗的極限拉扯一本社會科學的經典作品，詹姆斯．斯科特以一種高度原創性與爭議性的方式重新去概念化支宰制與抵抗的關係，豐富了權力概念的內涵，使得「底層政治」與「隱藏文本」這些觀念成為我們討論統治技術時必備的理論詞彙。高度推薦給任何想要思考權力如何運作的知識學徒。——林開世 台灣大學人類學博物館館長【專文導讀】何明修 台灣大學社會學系教授本書作者博引文學、歷史、政治、民間文化的例子，剖析權力互動關係最複雜幽微的一面，以此開闢出看待政治行為的新穎視角——「隱藏文本」。演好形式上的服從，將所有反抗化無聲息、藏進上位者眼光難以照進的角落再伺機而發，這便是位居低處者的處世之道。若僅從表面上的狀況解讀，將會缺失權力關係中最具張力的部分，而忽略了從屬者面對權威的策略與能動。支配群體與從屬群體之間永無止境的對弈，使得雙方持續上演著「人前一套，人後一套」的戲碼：檯面上，支配者巧妙地宣示所擁有的統治地位，從屬者則壓下所有想法、佯裝順服；檯面下，這些被壓抑的話語，在支配群體難以察覺的地方於從屬群體間形成一套具有共識的論述或肢體表情，做為對權力關係的批判與抵抗。這套從屬者的共有文本以各種巧妙的方式掩護，在檯面下持續茁壯，等候適當時機躍上舞台。斯科特透過許多實例探討公開文本與隱藏文本之間的連結與差異，同時亦對於從屬、抵抗、反叛等各種觀念提供了原創性的理解。

Being able to monitor and modulate a trauma client's dysregulated nervous system is one of the practitioner's best lines of defense against traumatic hyperarousal going amok--risking consequences such as dissociation and decompensation. This paperback edition of Babette Rothschild's The Body Remembers, Volume 2, clarifies and simplifies autonomic nervous system (ANS) understanding and observation. It includes a full-color table that distinguishes six levels of arousal, which has proven to be an essential clinical tool, presenting a new and useful distinction between trauma-induced hypoarousal and the low arousal that is caused by lethargy or depression.Multiple therapeutic transcripts illuminate key points in trauma treatment, including stabilizing clients who dissociate, identifying and implementing hidden somatic resources, and utilizing good memories and somatic markers. With an authoritative yet personal voice, Rothschild's book is essential reading for anyone working with those wh

Can you tell the difference between talking to a human and talking to a machine? Or, is it possible to create a machine which is able to converse like a human? In fact, what is it that even makes us human? Turing's Imitation Game, commonly known as the Turing Test, is fundamental to the science of artificial intelligence. Involving an interrogator conversing with hidden identities, both human and machine, the test strikes at the heart of any questions about the capacity of machines to behave as humans. While this subject area has shifted dramatically in the last few years, this book offers an up-to-date assessment of Turing's Imitation Game, its history, context and implications, all illustrated with practical Turing tests. The contemporary relevance of this topic and the strong emphasis on example transcripts makes this book an ideal companion for undergraduate courses in artificial intelligence, engineering or computer science.
