訪談二十面體：遊戲把我們連在一起 | A Conversation with Icosa: Play-elements Keep Us Connected

Article by 葉寶儀 Po Yee Ip 摘要： 二十面體把他們構作的社群想像成一種集結 (assembly)——沒有穩固邊界、按照興趣而來的聚合。這種聚合方式一方面反思單一知識框架和制式教育，另一方面否想向上游動的競爭關係，回到他們所言的「遊戲」——既有合作、又有競爭、更強調好奇心和熱情的非功利社會關係。同時，他們也強調個體差異、趣味，多於集體性——尤其是進入同溫層、過份強調對手的共同體。 關鍵詞：工作坊、協作、社群、另類知識生產、遊戲 Abstract: Icosa envisions their community as an assembly—a gathering without rigid boundaries, formed organically around shared curiosity. This approach serves as a critique of monolithic knowledge frameworks and standardized education, while simultaneously rejecting the competitive drive for upward mobility. Instead, […]

搏命節奏：Tondo 的蜘蛛、鬥雞與可能性的技術 | Rhythms of Biting the Bullet: Tondo’s Spider, Cockfighting and the Technology of Possibilities

Article by 葉劉鴻 Yeh Liu, Hung 摘要： 本文以菲律賓馬尼拉 Tondo 社區為田野場域，提出「可能性」（possibility）作為理解貧困生活與未來想像的重要分析概念。相較於「夢想」或「希望」這類較為完整且情感導向的未來語言，「可能性」更貼近居民在高度不穩定生活條件中的實際處境：未來並非可被保證的目標，而是一系列在有限條件下進行的判斷、嘗試與押注。透過民族誌材料，本文分析三個日常場景：孩童的蜘蛛對戰遊戲、居民 Paeng 的鬥雞養成，以及 NGO 在社區中的運作。首先，蜘蛛遊戲展示了孩童如何透過觀察、比較與下注學習風險判斷，使未來以一連串微小決策的形式被實踐。其次，在鬥雞養成與競賽中，Paeng 透過長期照料、訓練與篩選，使家庭的經濟未來在不確定條件下暫時變得可操作。最後，NGO 在社區中則透過將援助轉譯為捐助者可理解的「希望敘事」來維持資源流動，而居民亦積極挪用這些制度語言、關係網絡與資源機會。本文指出，Tondo 的「可能性」並非來自單一來源，而是在居民日常實作、風險承擔與援助制度之間被反覆製造出來的社會過程。透過此概念，本文嘗試將分析焦點從「貧困中的希望」轉向「不穩定條件下的行動空間」，以更貼近居民實際生活經驗的方式理解未來的生成。 關鍵詞：可能性、未來想像、民族誌、貧困、NGO、Tondo Abstract: Based on ethnographic research in Tondo, Manila, this article proposes “possibility” as an analytical concept for understanding how residents navigate uncertain futures in conditions of poverty. Rather than focusing on “dreams” […]

救贖的身體：菲律賓湯都區貧民窟導覽中的女性角色與倫理操演 | The Body for Redemption: Female Role and Ethical Practices in a Slum Tour in Tondo, Philippines

Article by 余芬妮 Fen-Ni Yu 摘要： 本文以菲律賓馬尼拉湯都區Smokey Tours的貧民窟旅遊為研究對象，探討女性導覽員如何在NGO、社區、家庭與跨國遊客之間協商性別角色與倫理關係。透過參與觀察與深度訪談，本研究發現女性導覽員既是NGO敘事中的「待救贖者」，也是情感勞動與社區網絡的關鍵行動者。她們透過日常實踐與倫理操演，鬆動了主流「救贖」敘事中的單一貧窮想像，並在跨國觀光中建構出具有能動性的生活形式。研究主張，貧民窟旅遊不僅是經濟行為，更是性別化情感政治與倫理關係的動態界面。 關鍵詞：貧民窟旅遊、女性導覽員、情感勞動、救贖敘事、倫理操演、菲律賓 Abstract: This study examines the female tour guides in the slum tourism industry of Tondo, Manila, Philippines, focusing on their gendered roles and ethical performances within the transnational tourism framework. Through participatory observation and in-depth interviews with Smokey Tours guides, the […]

复印info：創造分散的、自主的世界 ｜Fuyin-info: Creating A Decentralized, Autonomous World

Article by 李齊 Qi Li 摘要： 复印info是一個信息站和印刷工作室，位於武漢。「复印」是「info」的音意互轉。在方便鄰里打印的同時，也方便知識的共享/流動/DIY；並以此為起點，尋找聯合的可能性。 子杰的工作混雜著行動、合作與建檔的多重野心，這讓复印info的小冊子們同時具有敏銳的靈活性和深刻的反思維度，且出乎意料地輕巧便攜。我們的對談從空間出發：城市的空間，另類的空間，行動的空間——如果复印info不僅是一家打印店，它還有什麼功能？ 關鍵詞：DIY、技術、人機關係、城市空間、行動 Abstract: Fuyin-info, a Wuhan-based infoshop and risograph printing studio convenient for the neighbourhood, serves as a space and point of departure facilitating knowledge sharing, movement, and DIY culture to explore the possibilities of new alliances.
