Alarming estimates from UNRWA indicate that a million people have been displaced\, precipitating a collapse in the health sector and giving rise to an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe. In the face of such devastation\, we cannot turn a blind eye to the human toll on innocent lives. \nWe strive to foster an unwavering sense of empathy\, kindle the flames of compassion\, and instill a genuine desire for the well-being of every individual ensnared by the ongoing situation. Together\, let us confront the harsh realities and pave the way for a future where hope triumphs over despair. \n「巴勒斯坦觀點：歷史、人性與希望的對話」座談會的目的是直接切入來檢視巴勒斯坦危急的政治和人道情況，特別聚焦在以色列軍事對加薩走廊的襲擊，這是繼哈馬斯於2023年10月7日進行的「阿克薩」（Al-Aqsa）行動後展開的。 \n以色列通過陸、空和海上的轟炸無情地瞄準加薩的百姓，造成災難性後果，造成約22\,000人傷亡，其中主要是婦女和兒童。聯合國難民救援機構令人震驚地估計有一百萬人被迫流離失所，導致了醫療部門的崩潰，引發了前所未有的人道災難。 \n面對這樣的破壞，我們不能對無辜生命所承受的人間悲劇視而不見。我們對每位陷入困境的個人抱以堅定的同理心，點燃慈悲之火，且真誠關懷之。讓我們攜手面對殘酷的現實，為「希望戰勝絕望」鋪出一條道路。 \n– \n講者簡介 Speaker’s Bio: \nDr. Hazem Almassry \nIs from Gaza and an independent researcher with a doctorate degree in social research and cultural studies from National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University\, Taiwan.

[…] I didn’t live through any of it\, but I’m still a descendant of those who had no time to recover; who had no time\, nor permission\, to reflect.” \nWe are also thinking on and expanding some of the questions Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish raises in Memory for Forgetfulness: what are the meanings of exile and loss? In a time of war– what is one’s role? how does one mourn? Can one mourn? What does one do to keep going everyday? And what is the relationship of writing and filmmaking (time & memory) to history (remembering is precisely a modality of forgetting)? \nWith love and rage\, this short film screening brings together works by Palestinian filmmakers/artists Qais Assali\, Shuruq Harb & May Marei\, in the hope of offering a desire or an energy for the audience to continually ask questions\, to think\, to act and to imagine another world is possible. -⎯ written by Hong-Kai Wang \n  \n– \n策畫人：王虹凱 \nCurated by: Hong-Kai Wang \nOrganizer: International Center for Cultural Studies\, NYCU\, Transit Asia Research NetworkInternational Program in lnter-Asia Cultural Studies\, University System of Taiwan.MOE-SPROUT 2.0\, Conflict\, Justice\, Decolonization: Asia in Transition in the 21st Century\, Sub-project 3: Migration\, Unequal Citizens\, Critical Legal Studies & Sub-project 6: Social Intervention and Artistic Production \n教育部高等教育深耕計畫—特色領域研究中心經費補助「衝突、正義、解殖：21世紀轉型中的亞洲」計畫MOE-SPROUT 2.0\, Conflict\, Justice\, Decolonization: Asia in Transition in the 21st Century \n所屬子計畫Research Cluster｜子計畫三〔遷移、不平等公民、批判法律研究〕子計畫六〔藝術介入與社會行動〕Sub-project 3: Migration\, Unequal Citizens\, and Critical Legal StudiesSub-project 6: Social Intervention and Artistic Production \n計畫主持人Convenor｜劉紀蕙Joyce C.H.

We face the drastic increase of international migration and stateless persons\, the prolonged pandemic\, extensive digital surveillance\, the prevalence of extended platform economies\, the precarity of temporary laborers on land and at sea\, the environmental crisis\, and climate change. Along with these developing conditions\, the intensified social inequality worldwide also escalates. \nWe encourage scholars and students of cultural studies to re-think the project of decolonization in the 21st century. Today\, colonialism indicates the colonial matrix of uneven power relations interwoven with various local/geopolitical structural factors. Under the systemic structure of colonial power relations\, a part of the community/population/city becomes a colony/subalternate space. The project of decolonization in the 21st century\, first and foremost\, is to identify and analyze the colonial power relation that engineers and reproduces the unequal social relations and environmental injustice\, to disclose its historical formations\, and to challenge the fixations of institutional and ideological exclusions. We invite interdisciplinary critical analysis and innovative artistic projects to engage with the regeneration and experimentation of alternative forms of creative decolonization. \nREAD MORE URL:https://transit-asia.chss.nycu.edu.tw/tarn/event/acs-institute/ LOCATION:National Yangming Chiao Tung University\, 1001 University Road\, Hsinchu\, Taiwan\, Hsinchu\, Taiwan ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://transit-asia.chss.nycu.edu.tw/tarn/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/ACSI-webbanner01.jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
