看到極光,就表示幸運之神將要降臨到你身上。好運,是很多人窮極一生,問卜算命,隨時不管做什麼事都要的吉星高照,當然,追到極光,就成了最理所當然的一趟幸運之旅。但對已經住在北極圈十年的 Frank Lee 而言,能看到極光,是家常便飯,不但因為他住的湖邊小木屋完全沒有光害,而且他追了十年,他當然非常清楚什麼時候可以看到極光。他有個名不虛傳的名號「極光獵人」,自己追不夠,還要帶著一群人去追。疫情前他有五年住在瑞典極圈國家公園 Abisko 當極圈導遊,帶著散客去追,早上健行,下午聯絡安排,晚上摸黑開車去追極光,一天外面零下三十度的體力消耗,幾乎就是超人的工作,但追極光成了他的生活方式,他可以有半年在極圈追極光,另外的半年去南歐追陽光。疫情期間旅業暫停,等於是給他緩衝重新出發的機會,他沒有選擇離開,…

「地方文化的復振,可以為世界文化保留多樣性」經常來去瑞典和台灣的民族文物研究員 李東,已經從事這個專業有二十多年,但他印象最深刻的是,在台灣,他體驗到台灣原住民族人積極在做文化復振,正因為他們有這樣的需要,他可以使力從歐洲幫忙。這種需要長期而且專業的世界文物遺產保存和管理,已經是超乎他的研究,或只是博物館的策展,而是對原住民族人在尋根過程中更深層的意義,在理解祖先的歷史,生活方式,習慣和想法,甚至是寶貴遺忘的知識。文化復振對族人有意義,也對他個人很有意義。新加坡出生的 李東,成長的文化環境豐富多元,祖輩中國大陸,爸爸香港,媽媽台灣,他四歲就跟著父母移民美國,美國雖說是他整個成長長大的家,但新加坡多元文化的記憶奠定了他後來在文化熔爐裡長大唸書的人生觀。美國休士頓唸人類學,在英國唸考古藝術史,看…
