【编辑推荐】 如今，通俗浪漫小说研究已经成为了一个范围广阔、成果颇多的学术领域，不仅拥有相关的国际联盟组织可以每年召开世界级的研讨大会，还持续稳定地出版了一系列学术期刊。而为所有这一切可喜发展打下关键性基础的，正是珍妮斯•A. 拉德威这本于三十多年前写就的经典著作。 20世纪下半叶，为什么作为出版业最有利可图的类别之一的浪漫小说会吸引数百万女性读者?作者从复杂的出版和发行业务到个人读者与文本的接触，多角度深入探讨女性阅读浪漫小说事件肌理，挑战女权主义者、文学评论家以及大众文化理论家对阅读浪漫小说的贬低，认为应该鼓励浪漫主义读者在现实中发声，而不是在想象的孤独中表现出来。 【名人评价及推荐】 《阅读浪漫小说》是独一无二的。它为文化研究设定了一个标准，几乎没有后来者可以达到其高度，即通过密切接触那些可能受到大众文化影响的人群，来检验关于大众文化效应的理论。 ——《美国历史杂志》 本书针对浪漫主义小说及其热诚的消费者，做出了非常精彩且透彻的分析。 ——《纽约时报书评》 珍妮斯•拉德威对当代女性阅读小说的现象，以及享受这类小说的女性如何看待自己的生活，进行了巧妙而动人的描绘。 ——《传播学期刊》 本书不仅探讨了浪漫小说的成规惯例，还对小说及其读者如何对抗某些特定的刻板印象进行了考察，这类印象通常是由那些不读此类书的人塑造出来的。拉德威的研究是社会性文学批评的一个既有趣又有争议的方面。 ——《大都会》 【内容介绍】 女权主义者、文学批评家和大众文化理论家总是忽视浪漫主义阅读。他们声称，“浪漫情节”会促进女性读者对男人的依赖，以及对流行文化所传达的压制性意识形态的接受。珍妮斯•拉德威挑战了这一说法，认为批评的注意力必须从孤立地考虑文本本身，转移到阅读背后那复杂的社会事件上。 《阅读浪漫小说》一书因其革新性、突破性的人种志调研方式而获得了极高的赞誉。在针对流行艺术的研究领域，本书具有不可替代的参考意义。这本里程碑式的著作不仅破除了流行文化中的消费“神话”，并借此分析了女性读者这一特定群体的审美和消费倾向。

Mr. Finch (Michael Emerson), a mysterious billionaire, developed a computer program for the government that predicts terrorist threats to the US. It was designed as a means to prevent another 9/11-type disaster, but Finch discovered that it was also predicting many "irrelevant" (non-terrorist) crimes. The non-terrorist data is dumped to a separate database and deleted each night. Finch realized that a great many domestic crimes could also be prevented if that data could be used. Finch built a backdoor into the machine that allows him to retrieve a list of Social Security numbers of people who will be involved in those crimes in order of occurrence. Unable to investigate the data on his own, Finch hires John Reese (Jim Caviezel), a former Green Beret and CIA field officer who is presumed dead, to help stop the crimes from taking place. The world thinks that Finch, like Reese, is dead. Finch made the choice of only transmitting the Social Security Numbers of the persons of interest so that if the backdoor is discovered, the government would have no clue as to what the numbers mean or that Finch is still alive.

Aibileen Clark is a middle-aged African-American maid who has spent her life raising white children and has recently lost her only son; Minny Jackson is an African-American maid who has often offended her employers despite her family's struggles with money and her desperate need for jobs; and Eugenia "Skeeter" Phelan is a young white woman who has recently moved back home after graduating college to find out her childhood maid has mysteriously disappeared. These three stories intertwine to explain how life in Jackson, Mississippi revolves around "the help"; yet they are always kept at a certain distance because of racial lines.

· 分析“沉默的女性”作为一种社会想象背后深刻的历史成因和权力结构 · 视野宽阔，论证充分，从全球女性的共同命运和普遍承受的身体和思想暴力出发 · 不允许女性发声的权力和对女性施加身体暴力的权力是同一种 · 作者是美国当下极具代表性的公共作家，2004年与乔布斯一起荣获《连线》杂志Rave大奖 ______ 《爱说教的男人》是一本旨在打破女性被动沉默角色的散文集，创作缘起是女作家亲身经历的一次“男性的说教”（mensplain）：在一次聚会上，一位男士对着作家本人滔滔不绝大谈她新近出版的关于摄影的一本书，即使他对该书的内容一知半解。 索尔尼特有力地印证了男性如何长期霸占说教者和审判者的位置，而与此相对应的是，女性的声音和观点则被认为是无足轻重，甚至不可信，这种错位和扭曲导致女性几千年来的被动噤声。从触目惊心的强奸文化，到结构性的家庭暴力，再到桑塔格和伍尔夫在“不可知性”上的分歧，作家通过犀利的论述，审视了针对女性的制度性暴力是如何通过厌女语言、对女性身体的物化和对性别暴力的美化等而持续得到强化。 索尔尼特勾勒了女性悲剧的共同命运，女性就像神话中被诅咒的卡桑德拉，因为挑战男性权力，她的预言和见证无人相信。这本书呼唤社会打破卡桑德拉式的诅咒，让女性不再是处于永恒的隶属地位的客体，在社会制度和想象空间层面获得双重解放。 —————— 媒体推荐 拥有到场和说话的权利是生存、尊严与自由的基本条件。我非常感激的是，在经历过早年那些有时因为屈从于暴力的被迫沉默之后，我成长为一个可以发声的人。这让我将永远站在不能发声的人那一边。 ****** 在这组充满个人色彩但又中立冷静的散文中，索尔尼特鞭辟入里地呈现了之前不曾被描述，甚至不曾被认识的那种熟悉的女性体验。——《纽约时报》 ****** 至关重要的女性主义文本。——《新共和》 ****** 在这本通畅易读的散文集中，索尔尼特探讨了诸如性别和权力这类庞大的主题。她的文字坦诚而睿智，本书是深入探讨女性主义和当代社会议题的必读著作。——《旧金山纪事报》
