Shownotes Transcript

长假适合放空,在此处有龙“唱诗”特别节目的第3集(Songs of the Dragons 3)中,请和我们一起伴随琴声与歌声,悠游古奇尼(Fracesco Guccini)和马可·波罗(Marco Polo)笔下的亚细亚,探索异域/他乡(Elsewhere)迷思作为人类文明进步的核心内驱力之一,其动力机制,其悖论,其幻境。

你将遇见的龙族有:柏拉图、古罗马剧作家特伦斯(Publius Terentius Afer)、十字军战士、马修·巴里(Matthew Paris)、马可·波罗、赫尔曼·黑塞(Hermann Hesse)、西蒙娜·薇依(Simone Weil)、西蒙娜·德·波伏娃、伊丽莎白·毕肖普、布莱塞·帕斯卡(Blaise Pascal)、米兰·昆德拉、刚过世的教皇方济各一世(Pope FrancisI)等。

你生命中的异域,或对异域的向往,曾为你创造过什么?欢迎留言告诉我们。

我们将在今年晚些时候策划小型线下见面活动,届时将有Songs of theDragons现场弹唱,我们也将邀请踊跃留言的龙友一起来参加面对面的互动交流。

假期快乐!
