Knowledge matters, and states have a stake in managing its movement to protect a variety of local and national interests. The view that knowledge circulates by itself in a flat world, unimpeded by national boundaries, is a myth. The transnational movement of knowledge is a social accomplishment, requiring negotiation, accommodation, and adaptation to the specificities of local contexts. This volume of essays by historians of science and technology breaks the national framework in which histories are often written. Instead, How Knowledge Moves takes knowledge as its central object, with the goal of unraveling the relationships among people, ideas, and things that arise when they cross national borders.
This specialized knowledge is located at multiple sites and moves across borders via a dazzling array of channels, embedded in heads and hands, in artifacts, and in texts. In the United States, it shapes policies for visas, export controls, and nuclear weapons proliferation; in Algeria, it enhances the production of oranges by colonial settlers; in Vietnam, it facilitates the exploitation of a river delta. In India it transforms modes of agricultural production. It implants American values in Latin America. By concentrating on the conditions that allow for knowledge movement, these essays explore travel and exchange in face-to-face encounters and show how border-crossings mobilize extensive bureaucratic technologies.

拜占廷帝国近11个世纪的兴衰以及最终灭亡的历程引人深思：它在面临不断威胁其生存的动荡和入侵时，为何依然可以延续久远？在最终灭亡时，又为何消失得如此彻底？
在拜占廷领域资深学者乔纳森·哈里斯看来，拜占廷帝国虽然历经劫难，屡屡面临大军压境，但它不仅凭借不同寻常的外交策略获得生存，还因其华丽的艺术和建筑而昌盛一时，更是欧洲、地中海和近东发展过程中的主要推动力之一。
哈里斯通过跨越10个世纪的10位历史焦点人物，为世人介绍了一个充满张力的文明，阐述了它在悠久历史的背后所掩盖的经常令人绝望的巨变。他的这部作品涉及拜占廷帝国社会、政治、军事、宗教、文化和艺术等重要领域，勾勒出了拜占廷文明的核心特征，探索了拜占廷帝国对周边邻国和现代世界所带来的重大而深远的影响。

★ 改变日本历史的传奇武士——在日本，坂本龙马被誉为完美的民族英雄，是西乡隆盛、伊藤博文等人盛赞的维新志士，甚至位居“改变日本历史的伟人”第一位。如此传奇的人物，究竟有何样的人生经历？幕末的大潮中，偏远农村出身的龙马，如何一步步走入时代中心，接触大人物，并青史留名？
★ 许知远作序推荐 了解明治维新不可或缺的经典——“在冬季的江户，他们身穿薄薄的便服，光脚踩着木屐在大街上走来走去。他们不修边幅，而且大肆挥霍，必要时也不是不会向商人借款或者干脆强取豪夺……作为一群没有计划的革命者、正在寻找领袖的追随人，他们在摸索一个更有机会出人头地的社会。”
★ 行销五十余年的学术著作，《剑桥日本史》主编詹森代表作之一——著名日本研究专家、日本文化功劳者获得者、普林斯顿大学东亚研究系首任系主任马尔乌斯·詹森的重要著作。司马辽太郎也参考的权威学术作品。
★ 丰富的细节和实物，还原坂本龙马真实的面容——本书收集几乎全部的一手资料，通过坂本龙马的书信等，描述他丰富的一生。他是提出明治政府施政方针草案的武士，也创办了日本第一家公司；他是萨摩、长州联合进而倒幕成功的关键推动者，也是开启新婚旅行的第一人。
坂本龙马首次提出“日本国”概念，他的“船中八策”确立了近代日本国体的基本构架；他促成互为仇敌的萨长两藩联合，并提出“大政奉还”口号，和平推翻了德川幕府几百年的统治；他仰慕西方科技，深怀民主思想，创建了日本第一家股份公司，还自学法律与外国人对峙公堂。
然而，就在明治维新大幕拉开的几个月前，坂本龙马于京都遇刺，备受赞誉的天才流星般突然陨落。
百年之后，坂本龙马借着历史小说和影视剧复活，声誉日上，成为人尽皆知的民族英雄。这种小说与影视剧中的形象，与真实的坂本龙马是否一致？来自僻乡僻壤的低级武士如何成长为维新领袖？普林斯顿大学教授詹森详细勾勒坂本龙马和中冈慎太郎的一生，从宏观和微观两个角度还原明治维新前夕的时局。真实的经历未必传奇，但依然令人振奋。

《蒙元入侵前夜的中国日常生活(插图本)》是法国著名汉学大师，法兰西学院院士谢和耐的名作。细致描述了中国历史上的一个特殊时期的下层社会民众生活。《蒙元入侵前夜的中国日常生活》(插图本)这个书名，虽只以寥寥几个单词，却已把直至两宋才臻于化境的中国日常生活艺术的舞台摆到了草原游牧民族不断进犯的黑暗布景之下，从而在读者心目中构成了一种巨大的悬念和反讽。

11世纪之初，从地中海到斯堪的纳维亚半岛，农民在不那么肥沃的土地上为领主耕作，罗马式的圆拱教堂零星矗立在大地上。教会对普通人还没有什么控制力，许多王国也尚未成形。
到了14世纪中期，欧洲人口已然翻番，城镇涌现，高耸的哥特式教堂遍布各地。教皇与国王争斗不休。十字军发起了九次远征，圣地失而复得、得而复失。通俗骑士文学成为从贵族到平民的消遣，大学建立，古典文化复兴，政治结构在各方势力的消长中悄然改变。为这一切希望、变革、成就、扩张画上句点的，是突如其来的饥荒、瘟疫与战祸。在那之后，欧洲再不是从前的那个欧洲了。
在王权和教权、王国与王国的缠斗中，限制权力的机构得以创制。为理解信仰，经院哲学家构筑了理性的大厦。在国家与教会的危机中，蕴含着革新和复兴的转机。我们现在所知道的欧洲，就在中世纪盛期里孕育醇化。

An acclaimed music scholar presents an accessible introduction to the art of listening to jazz
In How to Listen to Jazz, award-winning music scholar Ted Gioia presents a lively introduction to one of America's premier art forms. He tells us what to listen for in a performance and includes a guide to today's leading jazz musicians. From Louis Armstrong's innovative sounds to the jazz-rock fusion of Miles Davis, Gioia covers the music's history and reveals the building blocks of improvisation. A true love letter to jazz by a foremost expert, How to Listen to Jazz is a must-read for anyone who's ever wanted to understand and better appreciate America's greatest contribution to music.

One of jazz’s leading critics gives us an invigorating, richly detailed portrait of the artists and events that have shaped the music of our time. Grounded in authority and brimming with style, Playing Changes is the first book to take the measure of this exhilarating moment: it is a compelling argument for the resiliency of the art form and a rejoinder to any claims about its calcification or demise.
“Playing changes,” in jazz parlance, has long referred to an improviser’s resourceful path through a chord progression. Playing Changes boldly expands on the idea, highlighting a host of significant changes—ideological, technological, theoretical, and practical—that jazz musicians have learned to navigate since the turn of the century. Nate Chinen, who has chronicled this evolution firsthand throughout his journalistic career, vividly sets the backdrop, charting the origins of jazz historicism and the rise of an institutional framework for the music. He traces the influence of commercialized jazz education and reflects on the implications of a globalized jazz ecology. He unpacks the synergies between jazz and postmillennial hip-hop and R&B, illuminating an emergent rhythm signature for the music. And he shows how a new generation of shape-shifting elders, including Wayne Shorter and Henry Threadgill, have moved the aesthetic center of the music.
Woven throughout the book is a vibrant cast of characters—from the saxophonists Steve Coleman and Kamasi Washington to the pianists Jason Moran and Vijay Iyer to the bassist and singer Esperanza Spalding—who have exerted an important influence on the scene. This is an adaptive new music for a complex new reality, and Playing Changes is the definitive guide.

Julian Cope, eccentric and visionary rock musician, hip archaeologist and one time frontman of Teardrop Explodes, follows the runaway underground success of his book "Krautrocksampler" with "Japrocksampler", a cult deconstruction of Japanese rock music. "Japrocksampler" reveals what really happened when East met West after World War Two and the mayhem that ensued and is a must for anybody interested in modern music and Japanese culture. It explores the clash between traditional, conservative Japanese values and the wild rock 'n' roll renegades of the 1960s and 70s and tells the tale of the seminal artists in Japanese post-war culture, from itinerant art-house poets to violent refusenik rock groups with a penchant for plane hijacking. The book concludes with enticing reviews of Julian's Top 50 Jap Rock albums.

From the beginning of the American Occupation in 1945 to the post-bubble period of the early 1990s, popular music provided Japanese listeners with a much-needed release, channeling their desires, fears, and frustrations into a pleasurable and fluid art. Pop music allowed Japanese artists and audiences to assume various identities, reflecting the country’s uncomfortable position under American hegemony and its uncertainty within ever-shifting geopolitical realities.
In the first English-language study of this phenomenon, Michael K. Bourdaghs considers genres as diverse as boogie-woogie, rockabilly, enka, 1960s rock and roll, 1970s new music, folk, and techno-pop. Reading these forms and their cultural import through music, literary, and cultural theory, he introduces readers to the sensual moods and meanings of modern Japan. As he unpacks the complexities of popular music production and consumption, Bourdaghs interprets Japan as it worked through (or tried to forget) its imperial past. These efforts grew even murkier as Japanese pop migrated to the nation’s former colonies. In postwar Japan, pop music both accelerated and protested the commodification of everyday life, challenged and reproduced gender hierarchies, and insisted on the uniqueness of a national culture, even as it participated in an increasingly integrated global marketplace.
Each chapter in Sayonara Amerika, Sayonara Nippon examines a single genre through a particular theoretical lens: the relation of music to liberation; the influence of cultural mapping on musical appreciation; the role of translation in transmitting musical genres around the globe; the place of noise in music and its relation to historical change; the tenuous connection between ideologies of authenticity and imitation; the link between commercial success and artistic integrity; and the function of melodrama. Bourdaghs concludes with a look at recent Japanese pop music culture.

法國作曲家德布西曾說：「我在創作只有二十世紀的後代才能理解的事物」。德布西對音樂、空間、旋律見解，一直植根於坂本龍一音樂哲學裡，促使他在80年代與細野晴臣﹑高橋幸宏組成黃色魔力樂團（YMO）顛覆了當時的音樂創作框架，開創日本電音新紀元。期後更為《戰場上的快樂聖誕》創造了具有深遠影響力的電影配樂，奠定了坂本龍一作為全球音樂革新者的地位。 藝術家Elizabeth Lennard帶大家重回40年前《音樂圖鑑》的創作時空，利用她如詩似畫的影像，捕捉這位音樂巨匠的靈光瞬間。展示他如何利用東京日常節奏、街頭的喧囂與電子及古典音樂互相連結，以生活細碎的聲音淬煉出永垂的旋律，為世界留下不朽的樂章。

The documentary details the history of the of post-war Japanese Marxist radicals and the New Left in the 1960s and 1970s. It uses extensive archival footage and revealing interviews with the surviving members to trace the group's evolution and place their actions in the context of the period.

第二次大戦後、戦争を放棄した日本だが、沖縄の軍事基地問題をはじめ永久平和に反する矛盾は依然続いている。このドキュメンタリーは、1960年６月、元Ａ級戦犯・岸信介政権下で日米安全保障条約（安保）が更新されるまでの一ヶ月間、国会周辺に溢れた安保反対の市民デモ運動の濃密な時間へと戻っていく。かつてなく激化したこの闘争には、学生、労働者、子供や女性を含む一般市民が集結。敗戦からまだ15年、二度と戦争はしたくないという市民の意志が一つになっていく。当時の情熱と衝動から生まれた芸術作品（写真：濱谷浩・東松照明・細江英公、石内都、石川真生、絵画:中村宏・横尾忠則・朝倉摂・池田龍雄、丸木位里、映像・冨沢幸男・野田真吉・大島渚・川島雄三、音楽：武満徹・加藤登紀子 ほか）を軸に、戦争の痕跡を生々しく留め、なおかつ非戦への架け橋となる表現の意味と、作品を生んだ真摯な思いが、50年を経て本作の中で感動的に結ばれる。出演は上記作家（一部、作品のみ）ほか、会田誠、風間サチコ、半藤一利、保坂正康、串田和美、ティム・ワイナー（『CIA秘録』）。日本で育ち邦画の英語訳を手がける米国人女性リンダ・ホーグランドの監督作。

In this first English-language history of the origins and impact of the Japanese pop music industry, Hiromu Nagahara connects the rise of mass entertainment, epitomized by ryūkōka (“popular songs”), with Japan’s transformation into a middle-class society in the years after World War II.
With the arrival of major international recording companies like Columbia and Victor in the 1920s, Japan’s pop music scene soon grew into a full-fledged culture industry that reached out to an avid consumer base through radio, cinema, and other media. The stream of songs that poured forth over the next four decades represented something new in the nation’s cultural landscape. Emerging during some of the most volatile decades in Japan’s history, popular songs struck a deep chord in Japanese society, gaining a devoted following but also galvanizing a vociferous band of opponents. A range of critics―intellectuals, journalists, government officials, self-appointed arbiters of taste―engaged in contentious debates on the merits of pop music. Many regarded it as a scandal, evidence of an increasingly debased and Americanized culture. For others, popular songs represented liberation from the oppressive political climate of the war years.
Tokyo Boogie-Woogie is a tale of competing cultural dynamics coming to a head just as Japan’s traditionally hierarchical society was shifting toward middle-class democracy. The pop soundscape of these years became the audible symbol of changing times.

长期以来我们都认为，美国革命是对英王暴政的反抗。而在这部发覆之作中，埃里克·纳尔逊却指出，“美国国父”中的相当一部分人事实上将自己视为英国议会而非王权的反叛者，驱动他们的是这样一种观念——英国议会僭用了国王独有的专权。在1787年制定美国宪法时，正是上述这些“王权派”投身于论战中，主张将极大的专权赋予行政首脑。而他们所取得的战果是，美国宪法赋予其总统的权力要比此前一百年间任何一个英国国王所能行使的权力还要大。
