讲座介绍：

人类思想如同一座座图书馆。在进行阅读活动时，读者总会借助思想“书架”上的其他书籍，为眼前的文本补充语境，对它的内容做出归纳，甚至影响自己的理解。这类“书架”常被人赋予不同的称谓，如经典、遗产、传统等。虽然这些“书架”无形无迹，但它们与我们所处现实世界中有形的资料又存在不可分割的关系，而这些资料也是人类相互交织的历史中共同拥有的事物。因此，本次讲座旨在探讨“思想图书馆”这一概念，分析它对知识生成以及文学阅读的影响。

Minds are libraries. We never read texts in a vacuum, but rather draw on other texts on our mental shelves, which contextualize, sort, and steer our understanding of the ones we hold in our hands. These mental shelves go by different names: the canon, heritage, patrimony, tradition etc. These shelves might appear to be invisible, but they are in truth inseparable from the material and visible libraries which exist in our real world, and with which they share an intertwined history. This lecture, therefore, aims to explore this concept of “libraries of the mind”, and to explore the effect on our knowledge and enjoyment of literature.
