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.
“致谢”的作用 伊维塔是这样写致谢的: “…… 1999年,我在系里举办的一个全国性学术会议上,做了一个——社会组织中的沉默和否认的报告——算是逐渐成型想法的一个早期总结。。。 该报告引发广泛讨论,但是与会的10多名同时中,只有2人会后和我聊了聊。。。 这件事恰好证...
評分还好前两天刚看过乌合之众,所以看这本书就很好理解了。 印象较深的几点: 1. 合谋的沉默,选择性沉默。 2. 需要绕开房间里的大象 3. 大象始终是大象,越掩盖,那么掩盖花费的也越大。 4. 当大象开始出现时,他也在开始缩小形体。 5. 三不猴的引用。我在网上也百度了。有意思的...
評分沉默不是金 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...
評分圖書館書車上的一堆書中,這本書憑借其書名吸引了我。“沉默串謀者”,只看書名,大概知道這是要探討某種社會心理學方面的現象。果不其然。書中提到的思考問題的角度很有趣,參考文獻也可以幫助我們瞭解更多。但是不得不承認,讀完之後,只有選擇性自我麻痹、conspiracy of...
