1.From Fiction to Stage

The report focuses on the process of adapting It Can’t Happen Here, the novel written by Sinclair Lewis, for the stage along with Tony Taccone, which was originally performed by Berkeley Repertory Theater in 2016 and has since been published by Dramatist’s Play Service and produced numerous times throughout the United States and in England, will focus not only on that work, but also on the experience with adaptations over the past 35 years in theater, film, and television. During that time, I have adapted such works as the German play The Soldiers, by Jakob Lenz, the novels Rainbow Drive, The Night of the Fox, and The Snarkout Boys and the Avocado of Death, for television, and have had my own book, The Zebra Murders: A Season of Killing, Racial Madness, and Civil Rights adapted for both film and television, while also being involved in the adaptations of other works as both a producer and a consultant. My talk will touch upon the different demands made on adaptations by all three mediums, and the unique set of circumstances that surrounded our adaptation of It Can’t Happen Here, a fictional play about a Presidential election that proved devastating for America, in the midst of a real Presidential election that proved much the same.

2.“从多元文化主义到人类命运共同体”

在全球化看似正裂变为全球分化的今天，多元文化主义好像再也不是政治正确的语料库里最为顺手的话语武器了。2013年，在加拿大魁北克，加拿大新民主党（New Democratic Party of Canada）在其党章中宣布支持间性文化主义（interculturalism）。多元文化主义的丧钟似乎在世界各地回响，无论是左派，还是右派，尽都徘徊在各种文化话语的间隙，不知道该往哪里走。更为迫切的是，在实践的层面，位于多元文化现实世界的个体该如何相处？围绕这些背景，本文将从20世纪的政治语境出发，考察多元文化主义的历史症候，以及间性文化主义作为多元文化主义解药之可能性与不可能性，提出重归整体性思考及人类命运共同体建设的必要性。
