每日一詞 | Occupy:“佔領”行動能改變香港嗎?


7月1日,一場“佔領”行動在香港上演。主權移交22週年這天,香港“反送中”抗議者再次走上街頭。他們短暫佔領香港立法會,並於週二凌晨遭到警察清場。


時報這樣描述抗議活動與警察清場的過程:“經過三個小時的佔領(occupation),抗議者大多被趕出議會。隨後,防暴警察組成警戒線,試圖驅散外面的人群。”這裡是一份來自現場的圖集 ,記錄了抗議者佔領立法會的全過程。


Occupation是occupy(意為佔領、居住)的名詞形式。 “佔領”行動發端於2011年的“佔領華爾街”(Occupy Wall Street)運動。過去十年間,occupy逐漸成為全球大規模抗議運動的關鍵詞之一。當香港“反送中”抗議者選擇佔領立法會,這場運動將走向何方?

The Media Gaslighting of 2020’s Most Likable Candidate - Medium



ガスライティングgaslighting)は心理的虐待の一種であり、被害者にわざと誤った情報を提示し、被害者が自身の記憶知覚、正気を疑うよう仕向ける手法[1]。例としては、嫌がらせの事実を加害者側が否定してみせるという単純なものから、被害者を当惑させるために奇妙なハプニングを起こして見せるといったものまである。
「ガスライティング」という名は、『ガス燈』という演劇(およびそれを映画化したもの)にちなんでいる。現在この用語は、臨床および学術研究論文でも使われている[2][3]

Gaslighting is a form of psychological manipulation in which a person seeks to sow seeds of doubt in a targeted individual or in members of a targeted group, making them question their own memory, perception, and sanity. Using persistent denial, misdirection, contradiction, and lying, gaslighting involves attempts to destabilize the victim and delegitimize the victim's belief.[1][2]
Instances may range from the denial by an abuser that previous abusive incidents ever occurred to the staging of bizarre events by the abuser with the intention of disorienting the victim. The term originated from the 1938 Patrick Hamilton play Gaslight and its 1940 and 1944 film adaptations, in which the gas-fueled lights in a character's home are dimmed when he turns the attic lights brighter while he searches the attic at night. He convinces his wife that she is imagining the change. The term has been used in clinical and research literature,[3][4] as well as in political commentary.[5][6]

Etymology[edit]

Ingrid Bergman in the 1944 film Gaslight
The term originates in the systematic psychological manipulation of a victim by her husband in the 1938 stage play Gaslight, known as Angel Street in the United States, and the film adaptations released in 1940 and 1944.[7] In the story, a husband attempts to convince his wife and others that she is insane by manipulating small elements of their environment and insisting that she is mistaken, remembering things incorrectly, or delusional when she points out these changes. The play's title alludes to the dimming of the gas lights in the house while the husband was using the gas lights in the sealed-off attic to search for jewels belonging to a woman whom he had murdered. The wife complains about the dimming lights to her husband, but he insists that she merely imagined it.[citation needed]
The term "gaslighting" has been used colloquially since the 1960s[8] to describe efforts to manipulate someone's perception of reality. The term has been used to describe such behaviour in psychoanalytic literature since the 1970s.[9] In a 1980 book on child sexual abuseFlorence Rush summarized George Cukor's Gaslight (1944) based on the play and wrote, "even today the word [gaslighting] is used to describe an attempt to destroy another's perception of reality."[10]

每日一詞 | Nonbinary:紐約驕傲遊行,性少數群體的盛典
戴著狂野假髮、化著誇張妝容的人們翩翩起舞,各種顏色的氣球和彩虹旗在風中飄揚……歡迎來到紐約驕傲大遊行。恰逢石牆暴動50週年、世界驕傲節首次落地美國,這場活動吸引了數百萬名性少數群體,規模空前。
時報報導 ,遊行中有狂歡的時刻,有紀念的時刻,但也有對商業化的抱怨。批評者指出,各大品牌贊助的花車上的廣告分散了對遊行本質的關注。包括演員Indya Moore在內的反對者則稱,這對那些在讚助方工作的人來說至關重要,他們期待公司展現出對多元文化的支持。 Moore認為自己屬於第三性(gender nonbinary)。
Nonbinary在這裡指“非二元性別的”,用來形容那些超越傳統意義上對男女的二元劃分、不單純屬於男性或女性的自我性別認同。 Nonbinary的性別認同建立在社會性別而非生物性別上,是男女之外,性別的第三個選項。
