商品描述
This book brings together a collection of essays on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the arrival of the first man on the moon - a time when tourist journeys to the moon, now a real possibility, were no more than a fantasy. Divided into four sections, illustrating different perceptions of the moon, the common aim of the essays in this book is to examine how mankind's interest in the moon has been represented in Literature and the Arts, an objective underpinned by the desire to exploit the relationship between the so-called two cultures--the Humanities and Science--as C.P. Snow perceived them in his pioneering work (1959). The plethora of ways in which our companion satellite has been portrayed has led the authors of the essays to draw upon research from the history of science as well as from literary, cultural and artistic studies. In addition to analysing the impact on literature and music, of our arrival on the moon, whether real or imaginary, these studies also examine how writers along the centuries have appropriated the moon as a metaphor in order to project latent conflict, criticise the society or politics of their day, reflect upon scientific or technological discoveries or fantasise about journeys, encounters or imaginary realities.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
這本書匯集了一系列論文，以慶祝人類首次登陸月球五十週年——那是一個旅遊登月的夢想，如今已成為現實的可能性。全書分為四個部分，展示對月球的不同認知，這些論文的共同目標是探討人類對月球的興趣如何在文學和藝術中表現出來，這一目標基於C.P. Snow在其開創性著作（1959年）中所認知的所謂兩種文化——人文學科與科學之間的關係。月球這一伴星的多樣化描繪方式使得論文的作者們能夠借鑒科學史以及文學、文化和藝術研究的研究成果。除了分析人類登月對文學和音樂的影響，無論是真實的還是想像的，這些研究還探討了幾個世紀以來，作家們如何將月球作為隱喻，以投射潛在的衝突、批評當時的社會或政治、反思科學或技術的發現，或幻想旅程、遭遇或虛構的現實。
