Arts, Design & Culture Culture & Philosophy

岑逸飛先生透過中西文化多重角度的分析，令學員擴展視野，學習以創意和廣闊的思維面對職場管理和人生處世的種種挑戰。在本課程中，岑逸飛先生將講授四本中國典籍 — 《西遊記》、《紅樓夢》、《水滸傳》、《三國演義》（統稱「四大名著」），並探討典籍於現代生活和管理上的應用。

Through a combination of lectures, tutorials and student presentations, this programme enables students to define methodological terms, concepts, and processes in media and cultural studies. This helps students make critical judgments on researches commonly used in media and cultural industries, and to design and apply research methodologies to research on media messages, media production and consumption. The programme also aims to equip students with the independent research skills they will need to flourish in academic and vocational contexts, and to carry out basic research in order to produce a piece of academic writing.

The Postgraduate Diploma in Media and Cultural Critique programm aims to develop students’ critical understanding of media and cultural institutions, ideologies and policies and their relationships with social and economic reality. This programme provides a grounding in the media and then visual, socio-cultural and economic content, and makes it possible for graduates to further study in media and cultural studies, creative industries, media management and advertising.

 

 

This programme will focus on key debates on popular culture and cultural consumption in relation to the media. Issues of pleasure, politics, meaning and value will be raised in connection with a range of cultural forms. Situated historically in the twentieth century, the programme analyses the development of mass culture as a socio-economic form, and as a term emerging in relation to other media forms, such as Hollywood movies, television programmes, music, art, print and new media. A range of theoretical perspectives will inform the analysis. The consumption of popular culture is addressed through recent ethnographic and qualitative work on audiences. 

The main objective of this programme is to introduce students to the key theories, thinking and debates surrounding new media studies. This programme will also contextualise the social functions and cultural meanings of digital/ new media technologies and their changes in different social and historical environments. The programme will encourage students to explore different forms of new media experiences and participations, and equip students with practical digital media production skills by designing, producing and publishing creative new media projects.

This programme aims to introduce students to the key meanings and structures of visual culture and thus help them investigate the ways in which cultural meanings are articulated, interpreted and communicated through different forms of visual-cultural practices, such as films, photographs, advertisements and museum displays etc. This programme will also introduce a range of visual research methods and media production techniques which develop students’ capacities in both analysing and creating visual-oriented projects.

有限的人該如何面對必然來臨的死亡？這不只是擺在知道自己快將死去的人面前，亦與任何人都相關連，因為問題深深影響著個人的處世態度。

本課程除了探討人對時間的感受、對將來的態度，以及痛苦和犧牲的意義，還會討論死亡是否等於毀滅，存在是否完全虛無等哲學議題。課程以古希臘的酒神教和柏拉圖開始，然後集中討論現代的海德格爾、勒維納斯、弗洛伊德和巴塔耶等，這些都是歐陸哲學在生命與死亡關係的表述方面最重要的人物。
 

課程目標
本課程旨在為學員建立成為慈山寺導賞員的基礎知識。課程從多角度認識佛教的核心思想與歷史發展，並探討佛教建築與心靈空間之間的內在關聯。
 課程將以佛陀在印度的歷史為起點，介紹佛教的三大傳播路線，進一步探討漢傳佛教的菩薩精神與人間佛教的演變，以及現代佛教如何融入社會與文化生活。同時，學員將學習佛教建築的主要特徵與唐代建築風格，並透過慈山寺的緣起與空間設計理念，理解佛教建築如何成為承載心靈與信仰的場域。
 
課程期望學員在完成培訓後，能具備解說慈山寺建築與文化價值的能力，啟發參觀者的內在反思，並引導他們體會佛法與人生的深層意義。學員將所學融入下一階段的證書（單元：慈山寺心靈空間導賞培訓—導賞理論與實習），為日後成為導賞員奠定堅實基礎。
 

本課程旨在讓學員有系統地掌握中國哲學的源流、主要學派的思想、演變及影響；希望藉着傳授有關之理論知識，能培養學員對中國哲學的欣賞及興趣，進一步能夠根據中國哲學的觀念，探討普遍的哲學問題。故除基礎文本研究外，本課程亦著重訓練學員就特定理論進行延伸討論與分析。
