This book is an invitation to think about why children chew pencils; why we talk to our cars, our refrigerators, our computers; rosary beads and worry beads; Cuban cigars; why we no longer wear hats that we can tip to one another and why we don't seem to long to; what has been described as bourgeois longing. It is an invitation to think about the fetishism of daily life in different times and in different cultures. It is an invitation to rethink several topics of critical inquiry—camp, collage, primitivism, consumer culture, museum culture, the aesthetic object, still life, "things as they are," Renaissance wonders, "the thing itself"—within the rubric of "things," not in an effort to foreclose the question of what sort of things these seem to be, but rather to suggest new questions about how objects produce subjects, about the phenomenology of the material everyday, about the secret life of things.
Based on an award-winning special issue of the journal Critical Inquiry, Things features eighteen thought-evoking essays by contributors including Bill Brown, Matthew L. Jones, Bruno Latour, W. J. T. Mitchell, Jessica Riskin, Jeffrey T. Schnapp, Peter Schwenger, Charity Scribner, and Alan Trachtenberg.
Bill Brown is the Karla Scherer Distinguished Service Professor in American Culture at the University of Chicago and a coeditor of Critical Inquiry.

说实在的,我很少对一本书产生如此强烈的“想要立刻推荐给所有人”的冲动。这本书的节奏把握得太妙了,从来不会让人感到拖沓或仓促。它就像一位高明的音乐家,知道何时该加速,何时该放缓,何时该用一个强有力的休止符来让听众回味。最让我赞叹的是,即使故事线索错综复杂,作者也总能清晰地指引读者,不会让人迷失方向。这种对复杂叙事的驾驭能力,体现了作者非凡的掌控力。我不得不承认,我已经开始期待作者的下一部作品了,因为我知道,只要是出自他/她的手,就绝对不会让人失望,这是一种基于对作品质量的绝对信任感。
评分哇塞,这本书真是让人意犹未尽!我得说,作者的叙事功力简直是炉火纯青,每一个场景的描绘都栩栩如生,仿佛我就是亲身经历了书中的那些跌宕起伏。特别是主角在面对困境时展现出的那种坚韧不拔的精神,真的深深地触动了我,让我都不禁在夜深人静的时候,反思自己的人生选择。那种细腻入微的情感刻画,让我几度哽咽,又几度热血沸腾。这本书不仅仅是一个故事,它更像是一面镜子,照出了我们内心深处最真实的需求和渴望。我尤其欣赏作者对细节的把控,那些看似不经意的对话和场景,其实都暗藏着推动情节发展的关键线索,读完之后回味无穷,总有新的感悟蹦出来。那种阅读的满足感,简直无与伦比,强烈推荐给所有追求高质量阅读体验的朋友们!
评分天呐,这本书的氛围营造简直绝了!我可以清晰地‘闻到’书中描绘的那个环境的气味,‘看到’那些光影的变化。作者的笔触极具画面感,特别是对于环境和气氛的渲染,简直是大师级别的。我仿佛能感受到那种压抑、那种希望、那种突如其来的转变,所有的情绪都被作者精准地拿捏住了。这种沉浸式的阅读体验,让我几乎忘记了周围的一切,完全融入了故事情节之中。我甚至在脑海中自动为它匹配了史诗级的配乐,可见其带给我的震撼是多么强烈。如果你渴望一种能让你完全脱离现实、进入另一个维度的阅读体验,这本书绝对是你的不二之选,它不仅仅是文字,它是一种多维度的感官盛宴。
评分说实话,这本书的结构安排简直是教科书级别的范本,逻辑链条环环相扣,紧凑得让人喘不过气来。我发现自己完全沉浸在了作者构建的世界观里,那种宏大叙事和微观个体命运交织的笔法,高明极了。阅读的过程中,我总是不由自主地去猜测接下来的走向,但作者总能用一种出乎意料却又合乎情理的方式将故事推向高潮。那种智力上的博弈和情感上的共振,让整个阅读体验充满了探索的乐趣。而且,这本书的语言风格非常独特,时而磅礴大气,时而又像潺潺流水般温柔细腻,这种强烈的反差感,让文字的张力被发挥到了极致。我简直佩服得五体投地,能写出这般匠心独运的作品,绝非一日之功。
评分这本书带给我的是一种前所未有的精神洗礼。它探讨的主题非常深刻,涉及了哲学、人性乃至社会结构等多个层面,毫不敷衍。我特别喜欢作者处理复杂道德困境的方式,没有简单地将人物脸谱化,而是将人性的灰度展现得淋漓尽致。每一个角色都有其存在的合理性,都有其难以言说的苦衷。我读完之后,感觉对这个世界的理解又加深了一层,很多原本困扰我的疑惑,似乎也找到了新的解释角度。这绝对不是那种读完就忘的‘快餐文学’,它更像是一部需要反复品味、值得收藏的经典之作。光是那些充满哲理的独白和旁白,就足够我反复研读了。
