白开水不白开EP03.归属感只属于稳定的人吗？“存在的证明，是不断搬动的痕迹”「简介」归属感到底是什么？是一个坐标、一把钥匙、一条重复走过的街，还是一只猫蜷缩在你怀里的重量？这一期，我们从“搬家”聊到“归属”，三个总是在不断搬家、切换身份、频繁更新生活版本的人，试着靠近这个模糊的词。sile说，自己从来没有过；米米说，它在某一年悄然消失；7u觉得，它很容易失去，但也很容易找回来。我们一开始以为归属感应当清晰、稳固、能在地图上标注。但渐渐地，我们发现，它其实更像是一种飘忽不定的气味、一只猫趴在你身上的重量、盖了几年的被子柔软的触感、每天起床的一杯抹茶。以及那个常驻在你身体深处、还没被彻底命名的地方。它并不总是稳固的，而是更像一种流动的信号，需要我们在每一次漂泊中重新校准。而我们走的每一步，绕的每个弯，最终都不是为了回“家”，而是为了回到那个可以安放自己的自己。本期想邀请你一起来思考：如果归属感不是固定不变的坐标，而是一种与自己对话的方式，那你现在的位置，还能称之为“归属”吗？如果你在听的过程中，也突然想起了那个“被接住”的瞬间：某个拥抱、一句话、一个小小的日常动作，也欢迎你留言告诉我们。我们真的很想知道，是什么让你觉得：“啊，我在这里。”愿我们都能在彼此的声音里，找到一丝丝属于自己的栖息地。别忘了点赞、关注、转发 让更多人加入这场归属感的备份计划🫶「时间轴」00:40｜开场近况更新：电脑黑屏、肠胃炎反复、展览结束、搬家混乱，开场即生活重锤。03:10｜逼疯 J 人的七酱流浪记：找不到房子的临时 homeless体验06:30｜“家”成为主题的起点：从办展到搬家，一步步走进“归属感”07:56｜“我从来没有归属感”：从小开始不断搬家，“归属”从未存在过09:48｜“我感受到这个东西消失掉了”：留学的旅途，好像从来没有属于过哪里15:25｜猫是家的重量：躺在身上的猫、呼噜声和熟悉的味道，是一种确定的安心感18:48｜对地点的脱敏是麻木，还是成长？22:58｜随身携带的“归属感”：一杯抹茶、三年的被子、一台老电脑，构成流动中的稳固感29:55｜过去模糊，未来不明，我们在归属感里感受到一种“想象力的失效”32:15｜“失去”不等于“失落”，就像后台运行的 App，没退出，也没使用，只是一直在那里35:00｜意义感是归属感的孪生姐妹：做有意义的事，比有固定的居所，更能安放自己38:10｜“哈哈我不当人啦！”：想象自己是候鸟，是树，是森林，归属感在物种之外重组40:30｜归属感不是稳定，而是内心松弛和接纳变化的能力43:57｜播客也成了我们的某种归属：每月和彼此聊天的时间，变成一种日常仪式，也是一种精神的“家”45:33｜我们不属于某个地方，而属于某些瞬间：一段雨声、一群飞鸟，拼出了记忆的归属47:35｜归属感，其实是不断“回到自己”「本期提到的相关内容」12:42 Martin Heidegger 在 存在与时间 (1927) 中的 Unheimlichkeit 概念常被译为“陌生感”或“陌生不安感”，指当熟悉的世界突然变得陌生时，所产生的存在性焦虑。26:39 Nostalgia for the Present - “对当下的怀旧”，这里特指哲学家齐泽克（Slavoj Žižek）对《使女的故事》的评论。他指出，当我们在想象过去/未来可能的极端失落时，当下的生活会被反衬得仿佛已经很珍贵，从而让我们对“此刻”产生怀旧感。在节目里提到这个概念来描述米米对“归属感”的体验：一方面在哀悼已经消失的东西，另一方面又因为意识到当下或未来还握有些什么而感到短暂的满足。30:15 Mark Fisher 在 Ghosts of My Life: Writings on Depression, Hauntology and Lost Futures (2014) 中提出“失落的未来”（Lost Futures），指的是在资本主义现实下，对未来的想象逐渐消失，只留下遗憾与缺席。37:38《森林如何思考》由人类学家埃迪·科恩（Eduardo Kohn）撰写的一本书。这本书探讨了人类学如何超越人类中心主义，研究人类之外的生物以及他们如何与世界互动和创造可能性。「BGM」05:33 Little Talks - Of Monsters of Man25:03 Lakehouse - Of Monsters of Man36:15 Streetcar - Daniel Caesar49:20 Home - Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros「关于提到的一些英文内容」04:28 Homeless - 流浪汉23:15 Matcha Girlies - 抹茶女孩24:45 be like - 英文网络口语, 可以翻成 “我当时整个人就是..." “我直接..."26:19 Let me get the fuck out of here - 快他XX让我离开这里！31:37 Pattern - 模式、方式32:06 Absence - 空白、空缺44:55 Moment - 瞬间❗️特别鸣谢：sile新电脑的准时抵达，7u使用三年柔软被子，以及始终在线的猫咪们 🐱💻「主播」7u：气血很足的那位，擦边干过插画设计师 纯艺-创意管理 坐标伦敦米米：说话很慢的那位，现实版闪电，服装设计-导演 坐标洛杉矶乐：听起来情绪很稳定的那位，前互联网牛马 商科-交互设计 坐标海口封面：7u剪辑：米米文案：7u、sile、米米互动方式：小红书：白开水不白开

Decisive Point PodcastDecisive Point Podcast – Ep 5-31 – Michael P. Ferguson and Richard Kohn – The American Way of Studying War: What Is It Good For?Academic military historians, government institutions, and defense practitioners have unique purposes for advancing the study of war that influence the way they consume and produce history. Although there is substantial scholarship covering how the discipline of military history has changed since the late nineteenth century, the literature surrounding why it changes and how it is used is less plentiful. Using primary and secondary sources to contextualize debates between historians, this study traces major developments in military historiography, considers the US Army’s relationship with its history, and explores potential connections between a history’s purpose and its use for mili...

And yet somehow, someone is knocking off said critics one at a time in truly Shakespearean fashion… albeit with slight alterations to the text.

The most notable conclusion of Acton’s work is that political liberty is the essential condition and guardian of religious liberty.
