骑闯天路:向318致敬

在世界屋脊举办的中国赛事骑闯天路,被誉为全球海拔最高、难度最大、路线最壮美的自行车极限赛。这是挑战自我的炼狱之赛,也是考验人性的炼心之赛。每一米都濒临绝境,每一秒都萌生放弃。如何在川藏天路上,找到另一个自己?钟承湛快速转动着轮椅,从斜坡上到主席台中央,动作一气呵成,笑容绽放,声音激昂高亢,“川藏南线318是一条由两千多英灵铸就的神圣之路,修这条路时,平均每一公里牺牲一个人,非常值得有一场赛事,来纪念这条神圣之路。”     

Fashioning Michael Field: Michael Field and Late-Victorian Dress Culture

This article explores how the late-Victorian poets Katharine Bradley and Edith Cooper, who wrote under the collaborative pseudonym Michael Field, used fashionable dress to construct and advertise their unique poetic identity. Using evidence from their journal Works and Days, I contextualise Bradley and Cooper's clothing in terms of late-Victorian dress culture, and the major dress reform movements of the nineteenth century. I demonstrate that Bradley and Cooper used fashion as a distinctively feminine way of participating in aesthetic culture, marking significant life events, and to advertise their poetic identity. This self-fashioning also exposed them to aesthetic scrutiny from their peers Oscar Wilde and Bernard Berenson. Finally, I argue that fashion played a crucial role in Bradley and Cooper's desire for one another – and that this desire can be understood in terms of erotic reciprocity.
