This is groundbreaking collection combines ethnographic and historic strategies to reveal how dance plays crucial cultural roles in various regions of the world, including Tonga, Java, Bosnia-Herzegovina, New Mexico, India, Korea, Macedonia, and England. The essays find a balance between past and present and examine how dance and bodily practices are core identity and cultural creators. Reaching beyond the typically Eurocentric view of dance, Dancing from Past to Present opens a world of debate over the role dance plays in forming and expressing cultural identities around the world.

The Rise of the Creative Class, Revisited

Richard Florida
check holdings in CityU LibraryFind

Initially published in 2002, The Rise of the Creative Class quickly achieved classic status for its identification of forces then only beginning to reshape our economy, geography, and workplace. Weaving story-telling with original research, Richard Florida identified a fundamental shift linking a host of seemingly unrelated changes in American society: the growing importance of creativity in people’s work lives and the emergence of a class of people unified by their engagement in creative work. Millions of us were beginning to work and live much as creative types like artists and scientists always had, Florida observed, and this Creative Class was determining how the workplace was organized, what companies would prosper or go bankrupt, and even which cities would thrive.

In The Rise of the Creative Class Revisited, Florida further refines his occupational, demographic, psychological, and economic profile of the Creative Class, incorporates a decade of research, and adds five new chapters covering the global effects of the Creative Class and exploring the factors that shape “quality of place” in our changing cities and suburbs.

舒衡哲女士1979－1980年曾作為首批美國留學生在北京大學中文系學習，她訪問了當時仍在世的“新青年一代的知識分子”：許德珩、俞平伯、葉聖陶、朱光潛、馮友蘭、金岳霖、張申府和梁漱溟，也訪問了諸多“五四”那一輩所教導出來的學生們、當時六十多歲的知識分子。在序言中，她最後說：“我領悟到了我十年來始終未曾真正掌握的‘五四運動’的意義——隻要專制、官僚和教條主義的思想仍然盤踞在政治領導人和民眾的腦袋中，啟蒙運動必將在中國繼續發展下去，無論路途是多麼的曲折，代價是多麼的高昂。”
