This talk begins with an overview of the interconnection between literature and philosophy in modern Chinese literature. Then, it probes into the three existentialist allegories in Fortress Besieged (1947), a philosophical novel written by Qian Zhongshu, a polyglot scholar of East-East comparative literature and philosophy. The novel’s overarching allegory, i.e., a fortress besieged, will be compared in juxtaposition with several philosophical allegories about the mutability and limitations of human life in Western philosophy. This talk concludes with a reflection on the seminal influence of this novel in contemporary Chinese society where “fortress besieged” has become an everyday word referring to one’s existential crisis.

宣統年間（1909-1911），袁世凱（1859-1916）在攝政王載灃排擠下歸隱彰德府洹上村，與門生故舊唱和，以示無心世務。這些詩作被袁氏次子袁克文（1890-1931）輯錄於《圭塘唱和詩》中，於宣統二年（1910）刊印，其中袁氏詩作共十三題十五篇。1940年代，長子袁克定（1878-1958）將袁世凱當年親筆謄鈔之詩稿影印出版，額曰《洹村逸興》。比對二書之篇目，《圭塘》諸本有袁氏詩作五篇不見於《洹村逸興》。實際上，該五篇之謄抄稿仍與《洹村逸興》之原件共同收藏於社科院近代史所；克定當日不收入書中，蓋因稿上頗有無名氏批點文字，公之於眾可能影響乃父形象。這些批點文字當係某位幕僚所為，內容為修改建議；然參《圭塘》諸本，可知袁世凱對建議幾乎全未採納。本文著眼於五篇詩稿及其批點文字，以討論原詩與修改建議如何優劣互見，乃至這輯詩歌與當時政局之微妙關係。

編修地方志為中華民族悠久而獨特的文化傳統，至今已有2000多年歷史。中國方志有始於《山海經》、《尚書‧禹貢》和《周禮》這三種說法。「國有史，地有志」，「方志」和「歷史」在中國史學傳統上，有同源異流的密切關係。是次講座根據歷來中國地方志的原始資料和方志學著述，討論「志」與「史」的異同，並疏理中國舊方志和中國新方志在「存史」及「資政」方面的經驗，並就地方志對歷史研究的當代意義提出建議。

我們的日常生活每時每刻都離不開語言，每一個人都會對語言中發生的問題感興趣，但是卻並不知道這些生活中的語言問題有沒有學術研究價值。本講座將以日常生活中的語言現象為例，重點介紹語言研究的選題、研究方法和研究路徑，以期對研究生的選題和論文寫作以及語言的跨學科研究有所啟發。

晚清時期英雄傳記風行一時，引發英雄崇拜的熱潮。但是此時所謂「傳記」，其實是融合諸多資源形構而成的新文類。《意大利建國三傑傳》作為晚清英雄傳記的代表作，充分展示了這一特徵。梁啟超借鑑明治政治小說的多種書寫模式，又援引本土小說的要素，將意大利建國史轉化為中國未來命運的預言，將意大利建國三傑刻畫為智、仁、勇的化身，將兒女情長俠義精神引入傳記書寫。正是由於梁啟超自出機杼的創造與轉化，此類英雄傳記廣受讀者歡迎，成為晚清文學文化史上的典範作品。

We investigate reversal and recirculation for the stationary Prandtl equations. Reversal describes the solution after the Goldstein singularity, and is characterized by regions in which u > O and u < 0. The classical point of view of regarding the Prandtl equations as an evolution equation in x completely breaks down since u changes sign. Instead, we view the problem as a quasilinear, mixed-type, free-boundary problem. This is a joint work with Sameer Iyer.

In this lecture I consider the fundamental, challenging and largely unsolved problem of deriving rigorously the most popular kinetic equations, starting from the laws governing the dynamics of microscopic systems. I plan to present classical and recent results, discussing also some present perspectives.

Models arising in biology are often written in terms of Ordinary Differential Equations. The celebrated paper of Kermack-McKendrick (19271, founding mathematical epidemiology, showed the necessity to include parameters in order to describe the state of the individuals, as time elapsed after infection. During the 70s, many mathematical studies were developed when equations are structured by age, size, more generally a physiological trait. The renewal, growth-fragmentation are the more standard equations. The talk will present structured equations, show that a universal generalized relative entropy structure is available in the linear case, which imposes relaxation to a steady state under non-degeneracy conditions. In the nonlinear cases, it might be that periodic solutions occur, which can be interpreted in biological terms, e.g., as network activity in the neuroscience. When the equations are conservation laws, a variant of the Monge-Kantorovich distance (called Fortet-Mourier distance) also gives a general non-expansion property of solutions.
