- [關於我們](https://www.ourxixiourcity.com/%e9%97%9c%e6%96%bc%e6%88%91%e5%80%91/): 浸大人文及創作系於2013年開設全球首個並唯一的中英雙語創意寫作學位課程「創意及專業寫作」，並致力於開拓創意寫作實踐研究及推廣創意寫作教育。
- [I-city in a Dream](https://www.ourxixiourcity.com/%e5%89%b5%e4%bd%9c%e6%8f%90%e7%a4%ba/%e5%a4%a2%e8%a6%8b%e6%88%91%e5%9f%8e/): Take a look at the images below.
- [夢見我城](https://www.ourxixiourcity.com/%e5%89%b5%e4%bd%9c%e6%8f%90%e7%a4%ba/%e5%a4%a2%e8%a6%8b%e6%88%91%e5%9f%8e/): 請看看以下幾幅圖畫。想像其中一幅是你的夢中場景，試圖告訴你，目前你在香港（或你所居之地）的生活。你覺得哪一幅圖畫會出現在你的夢中？哪一幅圖畫是關於你的？
- [A Stranger Nearby](https://www.ourxixiourcity.com/%e5%89%b5%e4%bd%9c%e6%8f%90%e7%a4%ba/%e9%84%b0%e8%bf%91%e7%9a%84%e9%99%8c%e7%94%9f%e4%ba%ba/): Living in the city means you are surrounded by strangers. Establishing mutual trust and mutual respect with strangers is essential in urban life.
- [鄰近的陌生人](https://www.ourxixiourcity.com/%e5%89%b5%e4%bd%9c%e6%8f%90%e7%a4%ba/%e9%84%b0%e8%bf%91%e7%9a%84%e9%99%8c%e7%94%9f%e4%ba%ba/): 與陌生者共處，是生活在城市裡無可避免的經驗。如何與這些鄰近的陌生人建立互信、彼此尊重，也是城市生活的重要課題。在巴士上、餐廳裡，你有試過認真觀察那些與你近在咫尺的陌生人嗎？這天出門，試試選定一個陌生人作為觀察的對象，仔細記下他／她的外表、行動、言談。 我們知道選材是文學創作重要的一環。但什麼才算得上是美？
- [I-space Reinvented](https://www.ourxixiourcity.com/%e5%89%b5%e4%bd%9c%e6%8f%90%e7%a4%ba/%e6%88%91%e7%9a%84%e5%86%8d%e9%80%a0%e7%a9%ba%e9%96%93/): The layout of urban apartment buildings often lacks much variety, and the design may not meet the needs of individual users.
- [我的再造空間](https://www.ourxixiourcity.com/%e5%89%b5%e4%bd%9c%e6%8f%90%e7%a4%ba/%e6%88%91%e7%9a%84%e5%86%8d%e9%80%a0%e7%a9%ba%e9%96%93/): 城市裡的樓房間隔往往一式一樣，設計未必能針對個別使用者的需要。你對自己現在居住的地方感到滿意嗎？如果可以的話，你最想改造居所裡的哪一個空間？廚房？洗手間？睡房？為什麼目前這個空間不適合你？試依據你的身體特點、興趣、生活習慣、追求的價值等等，想像如何改造你的家居空間。改造後，你會在這個空間裡做些什麼？感覺如何？
- [The Marvels of a Floating City](https://www.ourxixiourcity.com/%e8%a5%bf%e8%a5%bf%e4%bd%9c%e5%93%81%e5%8f%8a%e7%b0%a1%e4%bb%8b/%e6%b5%ae%e5%9f%8e%e8%aa%8c%e7%95%b0/): “Marvels of a Floating City” tells a Hong Kong story through 13 paintings by the Belgian painter René Magritte. The Sino-British Joint Declaration was signed in 1984 and determined the handover of Hong Kong's sovereignty in 1997. How should the people living in the city ponder their future? This short piece, completed in April 1986, was a timely response to the critical situation. Influenced by Calvino's concept of "time zero", this work of fiction does not focus on narrating a "complete" story with a beginning and an end, but focuses on the moment by inviting readers to contemplate the city through 13 surrealist paintings full of contradictions and tensions...
- [浮城誌異](https://www.ourxixiourcity.com/%e8%a5%bf%e8%a5%bf%e4%bd%9c%e5%93%81%e5%8f%8a%e7%b0%a1%e4%bb%8b/%e6%b5%ae%e5%9f%8e%e8%aa%8c%e7%95%b0/): 〈浮城誌異〉嵌入了十三幅比利時畫家馬格列特的畫作，說的卻是似曾相熟的香港故事。中英於1984年簽訂聯合聲明，香港於1997年的主權移交成為定局。此城居民應如何思考自身前途？小說於1986年4月完稿，回應的正是此一特殊的歷史情境。小說受卡爾維諾「時間零」的觀念影響，不重在敘述一個有始有終的「完整」故事，而是定格於當下，通過十三幅充滿了矛盾與張力的超現實畫作，與讀者一起思考各種可能的未來。。。
- [The Merry Building](https://www.ourxixiourcity.com/%e8%a5%bf%e8%a5%bf%e4%bd%9c%e5%93%81%e5%8f%8a%e7%b0%a1%e4%bb%8b/%e7%be%8e%e9%ba%97%e5%a4%a7%e5%bb%88/): Xi Xi has described her ground-breaking novels from the 1970s, My City and The Merry Building, as “two ways of writing the same place.” While My City draws on perspectives from flaneurs, the Merry Building is set in a 12-floor residential building. If the city’s development is a product of imperialism, governed not only by colonizers but what Paul Virilio regards as the “rule of speed,” then Xi Xi instead uses her technique of “slowness” to record the energy of the daily lives of everyday people...
- [美麗大廈](https://www.ourxixiourcity.com/%e8%a5%bf%e8%a5%bf%e4%bd%9c%e5%93%81%e5%8f%8a%e7%b0%a1%e4%bb%8b/%e7%be%8e%e9%ba%97%e5%a4%a7%e5%bb%88/): 西西形容《我城》與《美麗大廈》這兩部發表於七十年代，同樣極具開創性的長篇小說為「一個地方的兩種寫法」。相對於《我城》的上天下海的漫遊，《美麗大廈》聚焦於一座十二層高的住宅大廈。如果城市的發展，由自帝國主義的侵佔，以及維希留所關注的速度的暴政，在《美麗大廈》裡，西西則以「極慢速」的筆法，致力為小市民自力經營的日常作傳。。。
- [Mourning a Breast](https://www.ourxixiourcity.com/%e8%a5%bf%e8%a5%bf%e4%bd%9c%e5%93%81%e5%8f%8a%e7%b0%a1%e4%bb%8b/%e5%93%80%e6%82%bc%e4%b9%b3%e6%88%bf/): After being diagnosed with breast cancer in 1989, Xi Xi published a series of related works, which were collected in the book Elegy for a Breast in 1992. Elegy for a Breast is not a traditional memoir that draws mainly on personal experiences and feelings, but rather it is a juxtaposition of various type of writing styles, involving knowledge of medicine, translation, architecture, etc.
- [哀悼乳房](https://www.ourxixiourcity.com/%e8%a5%bf%e8%a5%bf%e4%bd%9c%e5%93%81%e5%8f%8a%e7%b0%a1%e4%bb%8b/%e5%93%80%e6%82%bc%e4%b9%b3%e6%88%bf/): 西西於1989年確診乳癌，隨之發表一系列相關文章，並於1992年結集為《哀悼乳房》一書。《哀悼乳房》除了敘述個人經驗、發患病感受，更並置、混雜了多種文體，涉及醫學、翻譯、建築等等的知識。何福仁稱之為「跡近萬花筒」的「新文體」，鄭樹森則稱之為「混合文類的小說」、「多文類的綜合敘述體」。
