人类文明正步入一个虚拟现实的时代!观看技术的新变化意味着什么?我们究竟该如何应对这一全新的视觉世界? 《观察者的技术》无疑是关于该话题极具启发性的作品之一。 乔纳森•克拉里向我们展示出,在19世纪早期,人类同样经历了一场影响深远的视觉革命:从“暗箱”到“立体视镜”。由此,人类之眼成了“现代之眼”。然而,观察技术的转变并不是单纯在技术层面上的革新,其背后还纠缠着对人类身体的崭新理解、社会关系和权力关系的变迁、商品经济的勃兴以及哲学思考的演变等诸多错综复杂的因素。总之,被科技史进步叙事所遮掩的裂痕,就此揭开……
自由的创造与理性的象征
Douban
让·斯塔罗宾斯基 translator: 张亘 / 夏燕 publishing house: 华东师范大学出版社·六点分社 2014 - 9
在《自由的创造与理性的象征》中,读者将会读到瑞士著名观念史家斯塔罗宾斯基对弗拉戈纳尔、戈雅、路易•大卫等著名画家及其画作的精彩阐释与分析,配以130多幅插图,对于我们理解18世纪欧洲的绘画、建筑、雕刻等艺术形式具有重要的参考价值。关于法国大革命对于艺术创作的影响,斯塔罗宾斯基亦有精到的分析,因此《自由的创造与理想的象征》不仅是一部欧洲艺术史,同时也是一部深刻的思想史。 本书由斯塔罗宾斯基的两部著作《自由的创造》与《理性的象征》组成。作者致力于在艺术与欧洲启蒙时代的哲学思潮之间建立关联,试图分析和展现18世纪以及大革命风暴中成形的美学与思想体验之独特性。 在《自由的创造》中,作者力图说明拒绝神学所提倡的原罪意识、重建对人性的信任的启蒙思想是如何首先关注感性生活与情感世界,同时引入启蒙的光芒以作为奥援的。法语标题中的“创造”(invention)来自该词的两个主要语义——找回与创造——从而指代启蒙思想的双重意旨:一方面,重建原初的自由,这种自由已经被现代国家的民众主体所遗忘或丢失;另一方面,为一个重生的时代奠基,这个时代将会是公民幸福的保证。 《理性的象征》在欧洲新古典主义的背景下,审视法国大革命文化的几个典型画面,研究这些画面得以被理解和传播的形式。革命宗旨往往被表现为一束曙光,从我们今天的视角看来,这种试图驱除阴影的艺术,仅仅是在这样的一些艺术家那里才能达到它的巅峰:这些艺术家在内心和身外,为阴影复来的威胁而感到担忧。
图像的肉身
La chair des images. Merleau-Ponty entre peinture et cinéma Douban
[法] 莫罗•卡波内(Mauro Carbone) translator: 曲晓蕊 publishing house: 华东师范大学出版社 2016 - 6
编辑推荐: 《图像的肉身》从“可见性”的角度对肉身的解读,不仅是对概念本身的梳理与明析,更是对梅洛-庞蒂感性哲学的进一步深化,尤其通过对新的观看方式的描述、以独到的艺术视角对图像在当代文化中特殊地位的分析,一步步呈现出由艺术到政治、渗透于生存经验之中的肉身哲学亦即对存在之境的敏锐体悟。本书从现象学的视角对于图像文化的反省非常独特,深刻又轻盈。 内容简介: 在梅洛-庞蒂后期哲学中有许多诗意而富于洞见的哲学表达,极好地阐明了当代图像与人的关系。 本书中的思考邀请我们踏上一条非常规哲学(a-philosophie)的道路,在生活的体验与反思中寻找人与世界、人与人之间“亲密的共存”。这是哲学有待完成的任务、是思想本身的任务,它引导着我们不断从当前体验世界的方式出发,对其做出新的理解和阐释。它是梅洛-庞蒂哲学为我们留下的疑问和挑战,也是这一有待完成的思想给予我们最大的财富。
Society of the Spectacle
Douban
居伊·德波 translator: Fredy Perlman publishing house: Black & Red 2000 - 6
The Das Kapital of the 20th century. An essential text, and the main theoretical work of the situationists. Few works of political and cultural theory have been as enduringly provocative. From its publication amid the social upheavals of the 1960's up to the present, the volatile theses of this book have decisively transformed debates on the shape of modernity, capitalism, and everyday life in the late 20th century. This is the original translation by Fredy Perlman, kept in print continuously for the last 30 years, keeping the flame alive when no-one else cared.

Lucy Shelton Caswell / Jared Gardner publishing house: Ohio State University Press 2017 - 3
Drawing the Line: Comics Studies and INKS, 1994–1997 collects some of the most important essays from INKS: Cartoon and Comic Art Studies, the first peer-reviewed scholarly journal devoted exclusively to comics studies.

Included in the volume are essays by pioneering comics scholars on newspaper comic strips, Japanese manga, Chinese lianhuanhua, comic books, graphic novels, and editorial cartoons, alongside writings and artwork by celebrated cartoonists such as Will Eisner, Oliver Harrington, Charles Schulz, and Frank Stack. This volume serves as an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the history and study of the comics form, visual culture, or the history of journalism.
吃,是一种公民行为

[法] 阿兰·杜卡斯 translator: 王祎慈 publishing house: 中国社会科学出版社·鼓楼新悦 2019 - 1
☆2019年度“傅雷翻译奖”十大入围作品之一☆ 本书从哲学与政治的角度来思考美食。拉伯雷口中“嘴巴的艺术”对于建设更加道德的社会来说是一个强有力的杠杆,然而它的作用却一直被轻视。正确地选择盘子里的食物能引领我们走向个人与集体的平衡与幸福。只有每一个人吃好了,这个世界才会 变得 更好。 作者先从个人谈起,希望读者们知道生活 质量并不是凭空出现的,而是源于我们的选择,源于我们意识到自己身上的责任。每个人通过选择特定的食物,变得更独立、健康与强大。这种选择也意味着集体的责任:我们每一位都是推动人类健康的不可或缺的元素。

19世纪的美国,食物品种单一,人们吃饭只是为了果腹,并不是为了享受美食。没人会想到在新世纪来临前,一位植物学家会给美国人的餐桌带来翻天覆地的变化。意大利的无籽葡萄、克罗地亚的甘蓝、巴伐利亚的啤酒花、伊拉克的海枣、中国的桃子、智利的鳄梨……这些都是“食物间谍”戴维·费尔柴 尔德带回美国的“战利品”。当然,他发现的不只是食物,也将埃及品种丰富的棉花引入美国,从而带动了新产业的发展;他从日本引进樱花树,粉嫩的花朵至今装点着华盛顿的街区。 戴维·费尔柴尔德一生到过50多个国家,为美国引进了成千上万种植物。他的环球旅行经历不仅满足了自己永无止境的探索欲,也丰富了美国人的餐桌选择,使美国农业得到了极大发展。他见证了美国“镀金时代”和19至20世纪波澜壮阔的世界历史,他传奇的一生是那个科学技术飞速发展、世界联系日益紧密的时代的缩影。
吃
Near a Thousand Tables: A History of Food Douban
[英]菲利普·费尔南多-阿梅斯托 translator: 韩良忆 publishing house: 中信出版集团 2020 - 3
人人都需要食物,大部分人都爱吃食物,可很少有谁敢保证自己了解食物。面对满盘珍馐,有人看到了卡路里,有人看到了营养配比,有人看到了价格,而有人却能看出文化标签和历史印记。 知名美食家布里亚-萨瓦兰有言:“告诉我你吃什么,我会告诉你你是什么。”盘中之物承载了我们过去与现在的种种信息:我们的身份,我们在社会中的位置,我们所处的社会在世界中的位置。“吃什么”和“怎么吃”的发展史,也是人类文明进程的写照。 菲利普•费尔南多-阿梅斯托敏锐地捕捉到了这一点。在这本令人大开眼界的书中,他重点考察了与人类文明深深交织在一起的八场饮食“革命”:烹饪的起源使人类走上了与其他物种不同的道路;仪式化的饮食为人与食物的关系赋予了意义;畜牧和农业的发明,也许是影响最深远的两场革命;社会不平等导致了饮食阶级分化和高级烹饪的发展;食品的远程贸易打破了文化障碍;生态交流改变了作物和牲畜的全球分布;随后,我们迎来了食品的大规模工业化和全球化。 从史前的蜗牛养殖到古罗马的宴会,从食品罐头到快餐汉堡,这一整套非凡的叙事、精辟的见解和博学的考据,将令你的思想和胃口得到双重满足。

《知觉的悬置》考察了现代注意力的悖论性质,一方面它是个人自由、创造力与经验的根本条件;另一方面,它又是经济及规训体制有效发挥效力的核心因素。克拉里论证了我们有意识地观看或聆听事务的方式,来自人类知觉性质的关键性演变,这一演变可以追溯到19世纪下半叶。那时绘画艺术的发展(特别以马奈、修拉和塞尚的作品为例)深深地卷进了欧洲视觉机制的这场深刻变革。
现代性的视觉政体

[法]布鲁诺·拉图尔 等 / 唐宏峰 主编 translator: 汪瑞 等 publishing house: 河南大学出版社 2018
视觉现代性的研究与一种科技史、媒介考古学等偏向于技术和媒介的研究有着紧密的联系。现代性视觉是一种“技术化观视”(technologized visuality),虚拟影像本质正是经由某种媒介中介后的视觉,技术/媒介处在现代视觉的核心。这不仅包括了各种视觉媒介,还包括了种种原本并非以视觉或图像为目的的各种科技发展,它们同时带来了观看方式的更新,比如机械印刷、望远镜、显微镜、现代解剖学、X光、核磁共振等科学和医学技术,它们在作为书写、天文和医学工具的同时,也是重要的视觉技术,带来新的视觉形态。
Art and Homosexuality
Douban
Christopher Reed publishing house: Oxford University Press 2011 - 5
Lavishly illustrated with over 175 black-and-white and color images that range from high to popular culture and from Ancient Greece to contemporary America, Christopher Reed's arresting book reveals the deep linkages between art and homosexuality as we understand those terms. This is the first book to fully explore the interdependence between the identity of the artist and the homosexual. It offers a bold, globe-spanning narrative that draws on artwork from all the important periods in the Western tradition, including classical, Renaissance, and contemporary, with special focus on the modern period. It was in the nineteenth century that the identities of the avant-garde artist and the homosexual took shape, and almost as quickly overlapped. The figures involved--Ingres, Courbet, Wilde, Whitman--are among that era's most iconic artists. The development of twentieth-century art--exemplified in the work of figures like Gertrude Stein, Jasper Johns, David Hockney, and David Wojnarowicz--this book argues is simply not understandable apart from the concurrent development of ideas about sexual identity. This highly readable volume challenges the ideas of many prominent art critics and punctures the platitudes surrounding discussions of both art and sexuality. The book discusses what it means to be an insider and outsider, how sexuality came to define one's fundamental humanity, and what people risk (and gain) in rejecting economic and social conformity. Reed shows that many of the core ideas that define modern thought more generally are nearly indecipherable without an understanding of this pairing. The debates that have surrounded artists and homosexuals in effect capture the dramatic history of the evolution of the modern mind.
差异与重复
Différence et répétition Douban
★ 9.6 10 ratings
[法] 吉尔·德勒兹 translator: 安靖 / 张子岳 publishing house: 华东师范大学出版社 2019 - 6
《差异与重复》既是德勒兹最重要的著作之一,也是当代哲学的一部经典之作。在这部对柏拉图以来的西方形而上学传统进行了彻底批判的奠基之作中,德勒兹创造了大量概念,尝试将自己的观点体系化。他试图提出一种有别于同一性哲学、主体性哲学的自然哲学,其核心是纯粹差异和深邃重复这两个概念。同时,德勒兹在本作中倚重的思想资源也非常庞杂,既对柏拉图、斯宾诺莎、莱布尼茨、尼采、柏格森、克尔凯郭尔等哲学家的思想进行了深入分析,也讨论了数学、物理学、生物学、精神分析、语言学、人类学、艺术等多个领域。理论上的巨大野心和思想上的驳杂,使得这部作品即使是在本就以晦涩著称的德勒兹著作谱系中也显得尤为困难和特异。
想念梦幻的桂旗
Douban
孟晖 2014 - 7
《潘金莲的发型》是孟晖的第一本随笔集,出版后受到很多读者的喜爱。此次再版,我们尝试把这本随笔集一拆为三,涉及服饰的部分、涉及饮食与起居的部分、涉及文学作品欣赏的部分各自独立,做成三本小书,分别名为《潘金莲的发型》、《花露天香》和《想念梦幻的桂旗》,让读者可以选择自己更感兴趣的部分,也更方便随身携带和存放。 我们不得不承认,魏晋人观看世界的方式,是和我们太不一样了,他们固执地坚持真相,坚持直视死亡。文字的妙处,本来就在于可以让现实发生扭曲,用想象去代替真实。不是吗,我们很多人之所以迷恋写作,就是因为通过写作,可以摆脱现世的压迫,在幻想的时空中获得自由。
Consuming History
Douban
Jerome de Groot publishing house: Routledge 2008 - 10
Non-academic history - 'public history' - is a complex, dynamic entity which impacts on the popular understanding of the past at all levels. In "Consuming History", Jerome de Groot examines how society consumes history and how a reading of this consumption can help us understand popular culture and issues of representation. This book analyses a wide range of cultural entities - from computer games to daytime television, from blockbuster fictional narratives such as Da Vinci Code to DNA genealogical tools - to analyse how history works in contemporary popular culture. Jerome de Groot probes how museums have responded to the heritage debate and the way in which new technologies have brought about a shift in access to history, from online gameplaying to internet genealogy.He discusses the often conflicted relationship between 'public' and academic history, and raises important questions about the theory and practice of history as a discipline. Whilst mainly focussing on the UK, the book also compares the experiences of the USA, France and Germany. "Consuming History" is an important and engaging analysis of the social consumption of history and offers an essential path through the debates for readers interested in history, cultural studies and the media.
The Representation of the Past
Douban
Kevin Walsh publishing house: Routledge 1992 - 7
The 1980s and early 1990s have witnessed a marked boom in the museum and heritage industry. Public interest in our historic environment is growing and this new awareness has been met by a major increase in the commercialisation of the past. The Representation of the Past examines this developing trend and reaches some disturbing conclusions. Fundamental to Kevin Walsh's argument is the belief that the process of modernisation has gradually served to distance peoople from their own heritage. As new horizons of expectation open up in the fields of consumption, travel and communication, the past becomes increasingly obscure and sequestered from those who own it, leading to a loss of sense of place. Examining the heritage industries of a number of countries including Britain and the U.S.A, Walsh asserts that museums should shoulder at least some of the blame for a superficial, unquestioning portrayal of the past which ultimately separates people from an understanding of their economic, political and cultural present. As the past is presented as a complete package, it loses all relevance in our daily lives. Ultimately, Walsh argues, the role of the museum is to facilitate our comprehension of cultural identity. In a world in which the anonymous marketing director increasingly dominates our lives, the key to future representation of the past lies in enabling people to come to terms with their own heritage. The Representation of the Past is essential reading for all those concerned with museums and the heritage industry.
How Societies Remember
Douban
Paul Connerton publishing house: 劍橋大學出版社 1989 - 11
In treating memory as a cultural rather than an individual faculty, this book provides an account of how bodily practices are transmitted in, and as, traditions. Most studies of memory as a cultural faculty focus on written, or inscribed transmissions of memories. Paul Connerton, on the other hand, concentrates on bodily (or incorporated) practices, and so questions the currently dominant idea that literary texts may be taken as a metaphor for social practices generally. The author argues that images of the past and recollected knowledge of the past are conveyed and sustained by ritual performances and that performative memory is bodily. Bodily social memory is an essential aspect of social memory, but it is an aspect which has until now been badly neglected. An innovative study, this work should be of interest to researchers into social, political and anthropological thought as well as to graduate and undergraduate students.
How Modernity Forgets
Douban
Connerton, Paul 2009
Why are we sometimes unable to remember events, places and objects? This concise overview explores the concept of 'forgetting', and how modern society affects our ability to remember things. It takes ideas from Francis Yates classic work, 'The Art of Memory', which viewed memory as being dependent on stability, and argues that today's world is full of change, making 'forgetting' characteristic of contemporary society. We live our lives at great speed; cities have become so enormous that they are unmemorable; consumerism has become disconnected from the labour process; urban architecture has a short life-span; and social relationships are less clearly defined - all of which has eroded the foundations on which we build and share our memories. Providing a profound insight into the effects of modern society, this book is a must-read for anthropologists, sociologists, psychologists and philosophers, as well as anyone interested in social theory and the contemporary western world.
