The fable of the Emperor's New Clothes is a classic example of a conspiracy of silence, a situation where everyone refuses to acknowledge an obvious truth. But the denial of social realities--whether incest, alcoholism, corruption, or even genocide--is no fairy tale. In The Elephant in the Room, Eviatar Zerubavel sheds new light on the social and political underpinnings of silence and denial--the keeping of "open secrets." The author shows that conspiracies of silence exist at every level of society, ranging from small groups to large corporations, from personal friendships to politics. Drawing on examples from newspapers and comedy shows to novels, children's stories, and film, the book travels back and forth across different levels of social life, and from everyday moments to large-scale historical events. At its core, The Elephant in the Room helps us understand why we ignore truths that are known to all of us. Zerubavel shows how such conspiracies evolve, illuminating the social pressures that cause people to deny what is right before their eyes. We see how each conspirator's denial is symbiotically complemented by the others', and we learn that silence is usually more intense when there are more people conspiring--and especially when there are significant power differences among them. He concludes by showing that the longer we ignore "elephants," the larger they loom in our minds, as each avoidance triggers an even greater spiral of denial. Social life in families, organizations, communities and even entire nations is full of situations where the emperor has no clothes. The Elephant in the Room illuminates the dynamics behind these situations, revealing why we ignore obvious and alarming realities.

大一的时候辅导员找我谈话,闲聊中他举了个例子说,像鲁迅韩寒这样的人,他们成天写文章鞭挞社会的丑恶黑暗,但实际上他们也只会说,从来不会做什么,也做不了什么。其用意无非是告诉我要少说话多做事。恕我心高气傲,我当时就觉得辅导员虽然研究生毕业,实际上肚里的货也顶多...
评分书名<The Elephant in the Room>源自英语里的一句谚语,意思大致接近于“心照不宣”“视而不见听而不闻”“自欺欺人”“道路以目”等成语。这本书所要探讨的就是“大象”(即“生活中的沉默与否认”)的起源、形态、后果以及将“大象赶出房间”(打破沉默)的可能性。 书中在...
评分我们都听过《皇帝的新衣》这个故事,皇帝大摇大摆的走上街头,向人们炫耀他新制的华服,但实际上他什么也没有穿。大臣和群众对这不存在的衣服赞叹不已,直到一个小男孩说出了真相。听完这个故事,我们都记得赞扬小男孩的勇敢和天真,鄙视皇帝和大臣的愚蠢,但似乎很少讨论为什...

评分沉默不是金 刘瑜 沉默是金,人们常说。这话还被写成大字,镶在框里,贴在很多墙壁上。人们用它来告诫自己:言多必失,少说多做,祸从口出,实干兴邦空谈误国。总之,能闭嘴的时候就闭嘴。 但是马丁•路德金说:历史将记取的社会转变的最大悲剧不是坏人的喧嚣,而是好人的沉默...
