Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business |
出版日期: 2005年12月27日
《娱乐至死》里,波兹曼指出,一切公众话语日渐以娱乐的方式出现,并成为一种文化精神。我们的政治、宗教、新闻、体育、教育和商业都心甘情愿地成为娱乐的附庸,毫无怨言,甚至无声无息,其结果是我们成了一个娱乐至死的物种。这是一份精彩、有力、重要且难以辩驳的控诉书。在《童年的消逝》里,波兹曼运用他对心理学、历史学、语义学和麦克卢汉学说的深刻见解以及常识,非常有说服力地阐述了一个触目惊心而且颇具独创的论题,即童年的诞生,是因为新的印刷媒介在儿童和成人之间强加了一些分界线,而在电视之类媒体的猛烈攻击下分界线变得越来越模糊,成人的性秘密和暴力问题转变为娱乐,新闻和广告定位在10岁孩子的智力水平。这也是一份内容翔实、令人震惊的警世书。
乔治·奥威尔曾在《一九八四年》中预占人们将会遭受外来压迫的奴役,失去自由,我们的文化成为受制文化,赫肯黎则在《美丽新世界》中表达了另外一种忧虑,人们会渐渐爱上压迫,崇拜那些使他们丧失思考能力的工业技术。作为新闻与传播学被广泛参阅和引用的经典,《娱乐至死》与《童年的消逝》想告诉人家的是,可能成为现实的,是赫胥黎的预言,而不是奥威尔的预言;毁掉我们的,不是我们所憎恨的东西,而恰恰是我们所热爱的东西!
Originally published in 1985, Neil Postman?s groundbreaking polemic about the corrosive effects of television on our politics and public discourse has been hailed as a twenty-first-century book published in the twentieth century. Now, with television joined by more sophisticated electronic media?from the Internet to cell phones to DVDs?it has taken on even greater significance. Amusing Ourselves to Death is a prophetic look at what happens when politics, journalism, education, and even religion become subject to the demands of entertainment. It is also a blueprint for regaining controlof our media, so that they can serve our highest goals.
