One of the distinguishing features of modern life is that it supplies countless opportunities for regarding (at a distance, through the medium of photography) horrors taking place throughout the world. Images of atrocities have become, via the little screens of the television and the computer, something of a commonplace. But are viewers inured -- or incited -- to violence by the depiction of cruelty? Is the viewer's perception of reality eroded by the daily barrage of such images? What does it mean to care about the sufferings of people in faraway zones of conflict?
Susan Sontag's now classic book On Photography defined the terms of this debate twenty-five years ago. Her new book is a profound rethinking of the intersection of "news" art, and understanding in the contemporary depiction of war and disaster. She makes a fresh appraisal of the arguments about how pictures can inspire dissent, foster violence, or create apathy, evoking a long history of the representation of the pain of others . . .

苏珊·桑塔格(1933~2004年),她生于美国纽约,毕业于芝加哥大学。1993年当选为美国文学艺术学院院士。她是当前美国声名卓著的“新知识分子”,和西蒙·波伏娃、汉娜·阿伦特被并称为西方当代最重要的女知识分子,被誉为“美国公众的良心”。2000年获美国国家图书奖、2001年获耶路撒冷国际文学奖,并获得2003年度德国图书大奖——德国书业和平奖。
读苏珊•桑塔格的文字是无法加快速度的,此书并不长,但每句话都值得人深深回味和探索,激起心中的共鸣。 桑塔格并未分目录、标题,整本书只是以“关于他人的痛苦”命名,从伍尔夫对于战争的反思开始,展开了对于别人的痛苦、旁观者的窥视癖两者之间关系的探讨。 ...
评分自從相機發明後,影像帶給人比圖像更直接的衝擊。那些在戰場上攝得、被視為名留百世的照片,尤其得到人們的激動與理解。在相機發明的五、六十年內,相片的「真實」都毫不懷疑的被信任。 但在攝影技術被人們廣為知悉時,早期影像的真實性便開始被人們質疑,並且一一揭穿。如在...
评分残断的手臂、血污的面部,黑白影像在呈现战争和灾难时极大程度地体现了世间的残酷和不幸。一直以来,把卡帕奉为战争记录者们的英雄,他的《焦点》更是其中影像的经典。甚至,也曾幻想着一天也能象罗伯特卡帕、吕丘露薇一样亲赴战场,听着隆隆的炮声,穿梭在流星弹雨中,似乎这...
评分这句佛语其实到今天才明白其真正含义,因为身边一个皈依朋友的点拨,这个淡定境界离凡夫俗子很远,反观来,我们就无法忽略了“他人的痛苦”,桑塔格照样不行,毕竟非贤非圣,她是个女人。 是什么使我们与痛苦的世界保持着那么一丝亲密的关系?归结于那些照片?有些冤枉,但那...
评分灾害又一次把我们的摄影记者推向了风间浪口。摄影师旁观的身份简直让人无法忍受,于是我们发问:这些人为什么对他人的痛苦无动于衷,只会躲在取景器后面按快门呢? 苏珊桑塔格在《关于他人的痛苦》中有这样的段落: “在一个摄影出色地听任消费者操纵的世界,场面...
昨天医院里看了一些。以后有空捡起来。
评分Introduction to Visual Culture. Spring 2012. w/ JOANNE SAVIO. I LOVE THIS WOMAN!!!!!!!!!! and this book, too. unique perspectives. the questions she proposes are all difficult and provocative. interesting to think about, though you probably won't get an answer in the end. read it to expand your mind. it's like stretching your hamstring.
评分其实满无聊的
评分If an author keeps asking: So what? What's the purpose? There is usually sth in the book. Structure of the book is not so clear.
