Book and Monograph Publications by Professors of Lingnan University 2011-2020
Lingnan University Library
Foreword
Lingnan University is a leading Asian liberal arts University with international recognition, distinguished by outstanding teaching, learning, scholarship and community engagement. We were named as one of the “Top 10 Liberal Arts College in Asia” by Forbes 2015, performed among the top 21% in the QS Asia University Rankings 2020, and were ranked 2nd worldwide for “Quality Education” by the Times Higher Education (THE) World University Impact Rankings 2020. In the QS Asia University Rankings 2020, Lingnan’s score of Citations per Paper has a jump of 29 places in that year and a leap of 140 places over the preceding year. Such international recognitions underpin Lingnan’s core values – Education: Care for Learning, Research: Impact with Care.
Lingnan University scholars are accelerating their research impact. They have published a total of 909 research papers from 2017 onwards, collaborated with scholars from 542 institutions in 76 countries and the monographs they authored or co-authored were acquired by over 1,500 libraries worldwide. The excellent research landscape of Lingnan University is now showcased in the platform Lingnan Scholars (https://scholars.ln.edu.hk/). I am glad that the Library has been tasked to produce this booklet for the past three years to record the monographic publications of our academics and further widen their research impact. This booklet features the 134 books and monographs published by our professors in different subject areas like finance, fiscal and monetary policy, cultural policy, creative industries, health and ageing, population, gerontechnology and institutions and governance during the period from 2011 to 2020.
The Library will continue to support our academics and scholars to heighten their research impact by broadening the dissemination of their research outputs in the Lingnan Scholars, researching in the application of research data and offering more research support services. I am sure with the concerted efforts of the University community, we will continue to excel and advance.

Living Stillness
Nunzio PACI
The artist-in-residence in the Fall of 2019-2020 was Mr Nunzio Paci, an Italian artist whose paintings and drawings bring out unexpected connections between human or animal anatomy on the one hand, and plants and flowers on the other hand. The intertwining of the human form with other natural forms is a motif in Art Nouveau art, but Paci’s drawing style seems to owe more to Renaissance anatomical and botanical drawings such as Leonardo da Vinci’s.
Moreover, like Leonardo, Paci relies on close observation, for example, of anatomical wax models and even genuine human corpses. In other words, he draws from life, or, strictly speaking, from death. As the present exhibition catalog makes clear, dead animal bodies are becoming more prominent in his work. The result is strangely beautiful, but not macabre. Human and animal anatomy is revealed as a part of life; life, in turn, is presented as a stage within a larger cycle that includes also death and decay.
Other contemporary artists (e.g., Damien Hirst) have taken an interest in anatomy and death, often in an attempt to deliver “shock value”. Paci is aiming for a more timeless quality—as timeless as human anatomy perhaps. Unsurprisingly, his work has already been exhibited around the globe: in Europe, the US, the Middle East, and Asia. Paci has also been the recipient of several awards.

嶺南校園 : 賞樹札記
嶺南大學服務研習處
此書的由來，緣於「服務研習藝行大使小組」留意到嶺大校園的建築及樹木同樣具備觀賞價值，遂進行實地考察及資料搜集，設計了嶺大校園建築及樹木導賞路線，並得到嶺大服務研習處推薦，於2015-17年間為中文系「記遊書寫」課程設計及安排校園建築和樹木導賞活動，得到同學們非常正面的回應，之後更有同學參與小組，為校內同學及社區人士提供校園導賞服務。
2017年，「服務研習藝行大使小組」與嶺大服務研習處合作，在賽馬會「關愛．服務．研習@ 屯門」計劃的支持下，配合「記遊書寫」及「創意數碼影像」兩個不同學科的服務研習項目，將有關嶺大校園建築和樹木的導賞資料整理，編寫為《嶺南校園—建築遊賞》和《嶺南校園—賞樹札記》。
《嶺南校園—賞樹札記》介紹共三十二種樹木，其中二十九種在校園核心範圍內。小組將校園分成A至H八區，用實地拍攝的樹木照片作介紹，以提供準確的環境線索去追蹤樹木的位置。各個樹種的介紹內容包括︰學名、科屬、原產地、生長環境、習性、用途、形態特色及一些相關趣味知識，還有一組四句的「觀賞提要」，介紹各樹種獨特之處，「賞樹、識樹」一章則提供了辨認樹種的基本參考資料。

Continuity
Aleksandar EFTIMOVSKI
The sculptures displayed in this exhibition demonstrate knowledge transfer and cultural exchange between Aleksandar and Lingnan students in the process of creating site-specific works. They are largely made by timber from Chi Kee Sawmill & Timber, which was founded in North Point on Hong Kong Island in 1947, but later relocated to Chai Wan and then its current site in Kwu Tong, Sheung Shui in 1982. Unfortunately, this rare survivor of timber business has recently been identified as one of the first areas to be cleared for the controversial North East New Territories Development Plan launched by the HKSAR government. When Typhoon Mangkhut battered Hong Kong on 16 September 2018, it felled at least 17,000 trees. Aleksandar collected some broken branches of the fallen trees on Lingnan campus and in nearby area, allowing students to select this unique material for their projects. He and his students have injected new life to wasted materials and transformed them into beautiful sculptures which, in turn, provoke our curiosity and thinking.

Bauhinia Rhapsody : the literary journal of Lingnan University 2018-2019
Undergraduate majors, Department of English, Lingnan University and Michael T. LUONGO
Editor's Note
The Lingnan Literary Journal itself, the book you have now in your hands, is a work of Lingnan University students. That which we write and leave behind is how we communicate with the future, and it is in this way that the students of Lingnan, here during the 2018-2019 academic year, will continue to have impact long after they have left the campus here in Tuen Mun, nestled against the foothills of Hong Kong’s mountains.
The work you see here is that of my own students, from either of my two classes, Arts, Creative Writing & Journalism, taught in the Fall and Spring of my time here, and Journalism Principles & Social Media, taught only in the Spring. Save for Mary Garcia who designed the covers, the editorial team came from my Fall class. There is also the writing and visual efforts of students I have never met in person, but which spoke to all of us. Others I met along the way at numerous events on campus, engaging them in conversation and asking them to submit their work. The team also recruited, through passive means like posters, and through setting up tables on campus. Still other constributions came from Professor Ingham’s class, gifting us with interesting intertextual work based on songs and poems, a favorite method of his for inspiring his students’ creativity. Mike’s deep desire to engage with his students, in and out of the classroom, was also something that inspired me to always try to give more and reach out to students across the spectrum at Lingnan. I believe through my efforts and the efforts of so many others, the journal as you see it now represents a broad range of Lingnan’s diverse student body, locals and exchange students alike.

Let Me Tell You a Story = 讓我說一個故事
Sau Ping Adam WONG (黃修平)
"Let Me Tell You a Story" is a showcase of nine short films made by the students and a trailer of them edited by the Artist-in-Residence, Mr Adam WONG Sau Ping.
Wong’s films show a humanistic perspective and employ storytelling to reveal incidents and experiences of real people contemporary society. In the spring of 2019, he teaches the course VIS3298 Studio Practice with a theme on “The Art of Storytelling by Film and Video” and gave a seminar on “Adam Wong On His Filmmaking, from VHS to 4K” at Lingnan University on 25 March. In his course, Wong guides nineteen students to acquire an understanding of filming based on primary research from real people and their backgrounds, use film as a language to tell stories of daily lives, and to produce short documentary films. This screening entitled We Tell Stories celebrates the project outcome of Wong and his students over the past four months. While Wong follows up the post-production of his new film, the sequel of The Way We Dance, Lingnan students work in groups of two to create nine short fictional films, each of them narrates a story of people and their environment based on students’ research and creativity and the film language they have learned from the Studio Practice course. The films come with distinctive topics, varying from love stories of both homosexual and heterosexual relationships, karate and adapting to the society, to political implications and dating experience. All these creative topics are presented in a humanistic approach.

Hortus Conclusus 囚
Lantian D. (蘭天)
The Work of Lantian D.
One of the most basic things to understand about Lantian D.’s work is that it is born out of an acute awareness of the weaknesses inherent in contemporary art. The sorry state of the contemporary artworld is even the theme of one her earliest paintings, Crime and Punishment, which contains some suggestive depictions of artists and intellectuals who may bear some responsibility for the present situation: Jacques Derrida, Marcel Duchamp, Tracy Emin, Michel Foucault, Clement Greenberg, Damien Hirst, Jeff Koons, Charles Saatchi, and Andy Warhol are all depicted as witch-like creatures from one of Francisco Goya’s black paintings, alongside contemporary works by the Chapman brothers, Ron Mueck, and so on. A more recent portrait touches upon the same theme. Decline portrays a young boy guarding the precious Wallace collection of European art in London. The moth on the window behind the boy suggests that the collection is like an old garment that is no longer worn: tucked away in a stuffy environment, and out of tune with the surrounding culture, which, as the title suggests, is in decline.

說不出的痛 : 家暴兒童的內心世界
Suk Mun, Sophia LAW (羅淑敏)
自2012年開始，作者專注研究藝術作為圖像語言的本質，以及如何利用藝術創作介入保護家庭及兒童服務，促進家暴兒童受害者的自我表達，為他們在不利的成長環境之中，提供一處或是僅有的安全空間和渠道，讓他們長期被抑壓的情緒得以適當的宣洩，作為導向他們健康成長的開步。
多年來，作者與相關服務單位的社工和專業的藝術治療師，為家暴兒童受害者特別設計連串的藝術創作計劃，所有完成的計劃都是各方專業共同積極參與的成果。最短的計劃為時半年，大多數是一年的計劃，嚴重的個案會個別跟進至年半或更長。
由2012至今，多項完成的計劃已服務超過六十位受家暴創傷的兒童，當中不少的創傷是經年累月的。本書摘錄了這些孩子的作品，當中展現了驚恐、悲傷、憤怒、迷惘和歉疚等，反映的是他們內心那紛亂不安的世界。他們當中承受的創傷或有相同，但每幅圖像都有其獨特的複雜性，非一個孩子能夠用說話和文字說得清楚的。
本書收錄的每一幅圖畫都是一種圖像書寫（image writing）。圖像書寫不需依賴兒童那尚待開發和學習的語言能力。正因如此，這些作品讓我們看見家暴兒童受害者內心那說不出的痛。
