作者简介 · · · · · ·

Later that year in Spain, he was captured by the Fascist forces under Franco, and sentenced to death. Relea...

原文摘录 · · · · · · ( 全部 )

“有必要把每句话用重复和简化的办法敲进群众的脑袋。凡是说成对的东西必须金光灿灿，凡是说成错的东西必须漆黑一团。为了让群众接受，政治的事情必须像庙会上俗气的木偶一样有色彩。” (查看原文)

“兔唇向你问候。” 他的脑海中浮现了那个人向上翘的蜡黄的脸，这信息使他不安。他敲问： “他叫什么名字？” 402号回答： “他不肯说。但他向你问候。” (查看原文)

多一个人读阿瑟库斯勒，世上就多一个奥威尔。

有人说：“多一个人读乔治奥威尔，世上就少一个独裁者。” 我认为：“多一个人读阿瑟库斯勒，世上就多一个奥威尔。” 书的正版我找了很久，遗憾的是董乐山先生在198几年译的中文版实在是找不到了，只能在亚马逊上淘到一本英文版的。虽然花了150多大洋，书也是非常普通的简装版... (展开)

这篇书评可能有关键情节透露

最恍然大悟的一刻应该在小说的结尾对主人公临刑前的叙述。主人公回首人生，发觉自己不能肯定这一生的奋斗究竟是为了什么。主人公的死并没有像他战友那样挣扎，但却让我第一次感受到对死亡的恐惧。之前一直觉得惧怕死亡是件很可笑的事：人生并不让人留恋，死后一片虚无也... (展开)

我们都对这么一类特殊的审判，或者说表演不陌生：有关庭审的前前后后的一切，早就有了安排好的剧本。法庭的场景布起，演员各司其职。公诉人慷慨陈词，审判员英明神武，被告人与其说是做自我辩护，还不如说是做自我控诉，因为他能否保全性命，能否免于酷刑，或确保作为交易... (展开)

正如董乐山在后序中说的，目标与达成目标途径的矛盾是悲剧的根源。现在的我们，知知道当年苏联解体前有过一段以自由为名义的极权时期，有人说论起杀人，斯大林要略胜希特勒一筹，但排到第一位却另有其人，那人的遗像现在在天安门前挂着。我并不是一个反共分... (展开)

Truth, Confession, and Performance

Chandler (Social ! Social ! Social !)

The histories of nations can be understood as stories that members of a society tell themselves about where they came from and where they are going. The defining characteristic of the history of a totalitarian state (like the one in Darkness at Noon) is the political necessity of unquestioned adherence to a singular narrative that benefits the Party.

The histories of nations can be understood as stories that members of a society tell themselves about where they came from and where they are going. The defining characteristic of the history of a totalitarian state (like the one in Darkness at Noon) is the political necessity of unquestioned adherence to a singular narrative that benefits the Party. In other words, the Party gets to define the only story that citizens are permitted to tell about their society. When citizens stray from this narrative, they become political dissidents, as the Party’s version of history is tantamount to law. It’s not enough for the state, then, to merely to punish or torture dissidents: dissidents must openly and publicly proclaim their wrongs and, by doing so, confirm the only narrative about the Party that is permitted. In that sense, the forcibly extracted confessions of guilt—from Rubashov, Ivanov (though offstage), and others—are ways to reenact the historical arc of the society, smoothing out any wrinkles and conflicts so that a happy ending might be reached. It’s important to understand that, for the image of the Party, confessions must be enacted in the form of a public performance. Truth in this society is a function of what is best for the Party, rather than fundamental facts to be uncovered. As such, truth cannot simply emerge or exist: it must be told, retold, and performed on the stage of the court. This performance is then reenacted by everyone who reads the official Party account of public trials, including Vera Wassiljovna, who reads it aloud to her father. Darkness at Noon moves between metaphors of a story and metaphors of a stage. Though the stage metaphor is more apparently theatrical (meant to underline the inauthentic, constructed nature of truth in this society), both metaphors imply that confessions are less about revealing guilt than they are about enacting and preserving the very laws, narratives, and fictions by which this society is held together.

Chandler (Social ! Social ! Social !)

A mathematician once said that algebra was the science for lazy people—one does not work out x, but operates with it as if one knew it. In our case, x stands for the anonymous masses, the people. Politics mean operating with this x without worrying about its actual nature. Making history is to recognize x for what it stands for in the equation.
