這本書的主題是「公共人文學」，分成兩個部分，上編是「公共人文學的探討」，下編為「公共人文學的案例：臺灣文化實踐」。上編有三篇論文，從不同的角度說明公共人文學的意涵。下編有六篇論文，基本上是作為公共人文學的實例而收集在本書，但它們的內容也有助於認識現當代臺灣的文化面貌。這幾十年來，在世界很多地方，人文學科與公眾生活的關係日益受到重視，這個風氣近年也傳入臺灣。這個訴求的基本精神是，人文學不當自守於學院門牆，應該對公共生活有比較直接的參與，反過來說，人文學各種方式的公共參與也能為學術研究帶來良性回饋。希望本書能深化大家對這個問題的關注和認識，進而提升臺灣人文學科的文化與教育價值。
The theme of this book, as suggested by its title, is public humanities. It is divided into two parts. The first part is “Explorations of Public Humanities,” while the second being “Cases of Public Humanities: Cultural Practices in Taiwan.” The first part contains three articles, explicating the implications of public humanities from various angles. The second part includes six papers as examples of public humanities, yet they will be helpful for gaining insights into cultural scenes of both contemporary Taiwan and Taiwan in the past. During the last few decades, in many parts of the world, the relationship between the humanities and public life received increasing attention. The trend has reached Taiwan. The core appeal of this effort is that humanities scholars should play direct roles in public life, not confining themselves only to academia. Humanities scholarship will benefit from its practitioners’ participation in public and community lives. The authors publish this volume hoping it can deepen the understanding of people in Taiwan about this issue, and the cultural and educational values of the humanities can thus be better appreciated.
