The vulnerable observer par excellence, Rolf Carlé incarnates the central dilemma of all efforts at witnessing. In the midst of a massacre, in the face of torture, in the eye of a hurricane, in the aftermath of an earthquake, or even, say, when horror looms apparently more gently in memories that won't recede and so come pouring forth in the late-night quiet of a kitchen, as a storyteller opens her heart to a story listener, recounting hurts that cut deep and raw into the gullies of the self, do you, the observer, stay behind the lens of the camera, switch on the tape recorder, keep pen in hand? Are there limitsof respect, piety, pathosthat should not be crossed, even to leave a record? But if you can't stop the horror, shouldn't you at least document it? (查看原文)

其中石膏女孩那篇，写自己从病床2年到克服恐惧重新站立的过程很精彩。少女到女人，这其中包含了多少对过去的抗拒。无论是这篇文章，还是ted上有名的《拥抱内心的少女》都诉说同样的主题，要和心中柔软不那么强硬的自己和解，接受柔软胆小懦弱的少女我，过渡为成熟独立勇敢的女人我，不应该是割裂的，是包纳和兼容的。

长篇田野日记，没几句有用的。地铁读物吧。
