張小虹（國立臺灣大學外文系特聘教授）
題目：親子與分子：性、粒線體、遺傳逃逸
構想：當代生殖科技徹底改變了我們對「親子關係」（filiation）的認知，既有的父、母、子等慣用親屬稱謂與界定方式，還依然成立嗎？究竟誰算誰不算父親？誰算誰不算母親？父親可以有幾個？而母親又可以有幾個呢？
但這樣的提問方式，似乎都不夠基進，依舊是以「質量體」（molar）與「人形化」（anthropomorphic）的「親」與「子」為出發，依舊是以「人」為基本單位的「巨型」想像。當代分子生物學對生殖醫學科技的介入，已然徹底翻轉並挑戰了這樣舊有的提問方式，乃是以「分子」（molecular）、以基因體（genomic）展開「微分」思考；不再只是父、母、子作為科技－親屬技術物的共組，更是nDNA、mtDNA、幹細胞、基因編輯所給出的基因改造新世界。
我想從當前生殖科技的「粒線體置換療法」（mitochondrial replacement therapy, MRT）切入，聚焦於粒線體的「生物結構縐摺」、「共生演化縐摺」與「生殖科技縐摺」三個面向，將「親子」放在「分子」層次思考，嘗試打破「雙親－父權－資本」邏輯的宰制，重新差異化有「性」生殖與無「性」生殖、垂直基因遺傳與水平基因共組、純血與雜種。

題目：Walking Happy Valley: Phantasmatic Thoughts and Historicity
構想：How do cities narrate themselves? This talk adopts the methodology over the past years when I approach such cities as Macao, Hong Kong, Taipei: to walk the city, to take photographs, to read literary and filmic texts set in the city, and to analyze the city’s urban culture and its mediations through the lens of critical theory. The focus is Happy Valley, a middle-class residential and recreational area next to Causeway Bay on the Hong Kong Island. The popularity of the Horseracing course overshadows the complexity and richness that Happy Valley affords. Taking a walk from the Race Course Fire Memorial (commemorating the victims of the 1918 fire resulting in 614 deaths) located next to the Hong Kong Stadium, to the Green Lane Service Reservoir Sitting-Out on the southern edge of Happy Valley, we experienced the co-existence of various spiritual belief-systems (Hinduism, Zoroastrianism, Protestantism, Catholicism, Islam, Sikhism) and life styles. The special topographical location affords a variety of bodily experiences: climbing staircases to reach the Race Course Memorial, walking up and down the slopes on Caroline Hill Road, jogging on the flat running track in the racecourse, walking up the mildly inclined Blue Pool Road, contemplating in the quiet and tranquil cemeteries, and receiving hospitality from the Sikh Temple. By examining the encounters of different versions of spectres during the walk, including the dead souls of the 1918 Race Course fire, the famous sequence of two lovers sharing “one-minute” in Wong Kar-wai’s Days of Being Wild evoked by the landmark “South China Athletic Association,” the buried bodies in the cemeteries, folk practices under the Goose Neck Bridge and ceremonies in the Hindu Temple and the Sikh Temple, casualties in the battle fought on Blue Pool Road during WWII, this paper attempts to develop a new understanding of historicity (via primarily Benjamin and Derrida) mediated by walking Happy Valley with “phantasmatic thoughts,” exploring how urban contemporary experiences are intruded by other temporalities.
