当战争成为记忆以后，记忆也成为了战争——
将目光投向被刻意遮掩的过去，审视日本的历史问题与战争责任，
探索重塑战争记忆的过程中，国家、媒体和个人都扮演了怎样的角色，
直面当代日本人的困境、社会的断裂，以及形塑战后社会的战败阴影。
◎ 内容简介
1945年8月15日正午，昭和天皇向日本全国广播了《终战诏书》，同意无条件投降，第二次世界大战就此结束。七十余年后，战败文化成了日本集体生活中不可磨灭的一部分。然而，对于谁该为战争负责和谁有罪，日本社会内部出现了旷日持久的分裂，裂缝之下的是两个根本性的问题 ：为什么要打一场打不赢的战争？为什么要为一场注定失败的战争杀戮和牺牲？
在本书中，桥本明子探究了三种互相抵触的战争记忆：“受害者”“施害者”和“英雄记忆”。这种分歧形塑了战后一代人对历史和自身的理解，并影响至今。桥本明子借助民族志、访谈和影像分析，以丰富的史料和严谨的分析，再现了日本战败创伤记忆的建构过程：政府、传媒、国家在其中分别扮演了怎样的角色？个体沉默、后代沉默、媒体沉默的背后又有什么样的因由？民族主义、和平主义、和解主义，哪条才是面对这段黑暗历史的正确通路？不论个人还是国家，唯有诚实地回答这些问题，汲取其中的历史经验，才能超越分歧与创伤，免于重蹈覆辙。
◎ 作品看点
★ 深刻理解战后日本历史问题的关键所在，了解日本政府如何搪塞战争责任，普通民众如何回避战争责任。
战争结束后，面对难以弥合的文化创伤，日本社会内部出现了三种截然不同的战争记忆，分别视日本为这场战争的牺牲者、受害者和施害者，据此延伸出三种处理历史问题的方式：民族主义、和平主义与和解主义。厘清战争记忆的来龙去脉，深究其社会和政治根源，方能理解战后日本为何在三个选项中游移不定，始终未能正视其战争责任和历史问题。
★ 纪念活动、影视作品、报刊漫画，谁在形塑日本的战争历史？
作者以一手资料探查日本战争历史的形塑过程：力图重建国家尊严的官方纪念活动和政治表演；采用纪录片、读者来信、社论等形式，重启战争责任核查，以期日本能承担战争责任的报刊媒体；强调个人和家族在战争中的悲惨遭遇，以受害者身份呼吁和平主义的动画电影……战争记忆不是铁板一块，是国家、个体、媒体等在历史话语权微妙博弈的结果。
★ 当基础教育服务于政治诉求，教科书何以成为战争记忆的新战场？
作者深入分析了5家出版社的15本历史和公民学高中教材，探索主流日本教材以何种立场和视角解读战争历史：是有意识选择的侵略之战？还是因政治经济压力、不得已为之的必要之战？用词和叙事框架的不同选择，暗含着截然不同的价值观念和道德判断。
★ 著名学者沙青青导读，孙歌、小熊英二、伊恩·布鲁玛诚挚推荐。

如果你想知道日本人对战争历史的看法，这是本必读之作。日本的战争记忆并非只有一种：讲述英雄的“美丽之国”的记忆，讲述被害者的“悲剧之国”的记忆，讲述加害者的“可憎之国”的记忆交织在一起。读者能在本书中发现历史认识问题的必要史实和理论。此外，也能学到如何正确地批评生我养我的祖国的过错，追求普遍性的道德的知识分子的做法吧。
——小熊英二
桥本明子运用自己的聪敏、鲜明的个人风格和彻底的诚实，写了一个读之令人心酸的话题。这是一个如此罕见的组合，每个对历史感兴趣的人都应该注意到这一点。
——伊恩·布鲁玛
本书以新的研究方式讨论了一个老问题：分裂的三种战争记忆形态，以及由此而来的重建统一道德的困境。这个二战结束之后困扰了几代日本人的老问题，曾经在日本思想界内部和日本社会引起过多次争论。本书并没有给这个老问题增添新内容，但却令人信服地告诉我们，这个老问题并没有解决，因而并没有过时；世代更迭，它仍然还在，并催生着后续效应。
作者的国际化生活背景，以英文读者为对象的写作动机，使本书使用了浅尝辄止的“外部视角”。与日本社会的距离感使作者避免陷入其内部的思想冲突，但也妨碍了本书的思想深度。对希望了解日本战争记忆的中文读者来说，本书或许是很合适的入门书，期待它可以引发关于和解的进一步追问与思考。
——孙歌
对绝大多数人来说，第二次世界大战已不再是一种生活经历。但在今天的东亚，战争记忆的政治比以往任何时候都更加分裂。桥本明子以一种比较的视角，对日本人在战后十几年间处理创伤记忆的方式进行了深入而富有同情心的分析。
——安德鲁·戈登，哈佛大学历史学教授
无论在理论还是在实践层面，《漫长的战败》都可堪称是一项重要的成就。这场长期的失败暴露了日本在身份认知上令人震惊的裂痕，这些裂痕将在未来几十年影响全球政治。
——杰弗里·C.亚历山大，耶鲁大学社会学教授
在桥本的文化分析之中，她更多的将着眼点放在微观层面的家庭，以及集体记忆在非西方国家形成的方式与目前占据主导地位的西方国家的不同之处。这是一本写得很好的书，文笔流畅观点犀利。
——马克·A.沃尔夫格拉姆，哥伦比亚大学人权研究所教授
《漫长的战败》为zui近兴起的关于“集体记忆”讨论提供了一份宝贵的贡献。不过，在这本书里，桥本却深刻地质疑了这一概念的价值，反而认为对于战争创伤，人们有着相互竞争，不一致的记忆，这对于理解当代日本尤为重要。
——《美国社会学杂志》
桥本把我们的目光吸引到民族主义、和平主义与妥协主义的交织叙述当中，以此激励长期笼罩在战败阴影之下的民族和政治认同。
——《日本时代》
在这本及时、读之令人心酸、语言简洁流畅的书中，桥本审视了日本自战后就一直存在的“历史问题”。通过针对大量的初级材料进行研究：电影、电视，报纸、纪录片、小说、访谈、口述历史，教科书……她的结论是，从日本的角度来看，对这场战争，日本从没有过一致或统一的叙述。总结：这是一本必读书。

In late May, a Pennsylvania high school hums with the rumor that a Satanic cult plans on killing the first four couples through the door on prom night. A horror writer in the Catskills is overcome with grief, alienated from his wife, unable to write, and suffering from recurring thoughts of physical and sexual indignities he has no words to describe. He concludes he has been abducted by aliens. In a Pizza Hut in Ohio, employees refuse to close alone because the ghost of a hanged man haunts the refrigerator. Tales such as these are the subject of Bill Ellis's Aliens, Ghosts, and Cults: Legends We Live. In the book, he explores the complex relationship between ordinary life and outlandish but oft-told legends. What he finds is startling. In multiple case studies legends become part of life. Officials take action in answer to each story's weird details, and people adjust their behavior to avoid or to experience aliens and ghosts. Written for both the cultural studies expert and the reader fascinated with reactions to extraordinary phenomena, Aliens, Ghosts, and Cults pursues motivations for why people tell these ""true stories, heard from a friend of a friend."" Ellis shows legends creating a sense of community in a multi-ethnic institutional camp. He traces some contemporary scares to such old tales as the vanishing hitchhiker and murderous gang initiations. In analyzing some newly emerging legend types, such as alien abductions and computer virus warnings, Ellis discovers connections between earlier types of religious experience and supposed witchcraft. Finally, the book reveals how legends can inspire people to actions, ranging from playful visits to haunted spots to horrifying threats of violence. Legends rely on active discussion to spread and mutate. This book considers them to be a social process, not a kind of narrative with a fixed form. People worldwide may tell a legend or one person to whom the event allegedly occurred may ""own"" the story. Individuals may relate an event as something strongly believed or as something laughable. Legends may be very new or have roots in old folklore. But when high schools, law enforcement agencies, city governments, and individuals take action, the story becomes one of the legends we live. Bill Ellis is an associate professor of English and American studies at Penn State University, Hazleton campus. His previous books include Raising the Devil: Satanism, New Religions, and the Media, and he has been published in Psychology Today, Skeptical Inquirer, Journal of American Folklore, and Journal of Popular Literature.

In the 1980s, America was gripped by widespread panics about Satanic cults. Conspiracy theories abounded about groups who were allegedly abusing children in day-care centers, impregnating girls for infant sacrifice, brainwashing adults, and even controlling the highest levels of government. As historian of religions David Frankfurter listened to these sinister theories, it occurred to him how strikingly similar they were to those that swept parts of the early Christian world, early modern Europe, and postcolonial Africa. He began to investigate the social and psychological patterns that give rise to these myths. Thus was born Evil Incarnate, a riveting analysis of the mythology of evilconspiracy.
The first work to provide an in-depth analysis of the topic, the book uses anthropology, the history of religion, sociology, and psychoanalytic theory, to answer the questions “What causes people collectively to envision evil and seek to exterminate it?” and “Why does the representation of evil recur in such typical patterns?”
Frankfurter guides the reader through such diverse subjects as witch-hunting, the origins of demonology, cannibalism, and the rumors of Jewish ritual murder, demonstrating how societies have long expanded upon their fears of such atrocities to address a collective anxiety. Thus, he maintains, panics over modern-day infant sacrifice are really not so different from rumors about early Christians engaging in infant feasts during the second and third centuries in Rome.
In Evil Incarnate, Frankfurter deepens historical awareness that stories of Satanic atrocities are both inventions of the mind and perennial phenomena, not authentic criminal events. True evil, as he so artfully demonstrates, is not something organized and corrupting, but rather a social construction that inspires people to brutal acts in the name of moral order.

It is commonly assumed that capitalism has created an a-emotional world dominated by bureaucratic rationality; that economic behavior conflicts with intimate, authentic relationships; that the public and private spheres are irremediably opposed to each other; and that true love is opposed to calculation and self-interest. Eva Illouz rejects these conventional ideas and argues that the culture of capitalism has fostered an intensely emotional culture in the workplace, in the family, and in our own relationship to ourselves. She argues that economic relations have become deeply emotional, while close, intimate relationships have become increasingly defined by economic and political models of bargaining, exchange, and equity. This dual process by which emotional and economic relationships come to define and shape each other is called emotional capitalism. Illouz finds evidence of this process of emotional capitalism in various social sites: self-help literature, women's magazines, talk shows, support groups, and the Internet dating sites. How did this happen? What are the social consequences of the current preoccupation with emotions? How did the public sphere become saturated with the exposure of private life? Why does suffering occupy a central place in contemporary identity? How has emotional capitalism transformed our romantic choices and experiences? Building on and revising the intellectual legacy of critical theory, this book addresses these questions and offers a new interpretation of the reasons why the public and the private, the economic and the emotional spheres have become inextricably intertwined.

First published in 1985, "Habits of the Heart" continues to be one of the most discussed interpretations of modern American society, a quest for a democratic community that draws on our diverse civic and religious traditions. In a new preface the authors relate the arguments of the book both to the current realities of American society and to the growing debate about the country's future. With this new edition one of the most influential books of recent times takes on a new immediacy.

"Play fool, to catch wise."—proverb of Jamaican slaves Confrontations between the powerless and powerful are laden with deception—the powerless feign deference and the powerful subtly assert their mastery. Peasants, serfs, untouchables, slaves, laborers, and prisoners are not free to speak their minds in the presence of power. These subordinate groups instead create a secret discourse that represents a critique of power spoken behind the backs of the dominant. At the same time, the powerful also develop a private dialogue about practices and goals of their rule that cannot be openly avowed. In this book, renowned social scientist James C. Scott offers a penetrating discussion both of the public roles played by the powerful and powerless and the mocking, vengeful tone they display off stage—what he terms their public and hidden transcripts. Using examples from the literature, history, and politics of cultures around the world, Scott examines the many guises this interaction has taken throughout history and the tensions and contradictions it reflects. Scott describes the ideological resistance of subordinate groups—their gossip, folktales, songs, jokes, and theater—their use of anonymity and ambiguity. He also analyzes how ruling elites attempt to convey an impression of hegemony through such devices as parades, state ceremony, and rituals of subordination and apology. Finally, he identifies—with quotations that range from the recollections of American slaves to those of Russian citizens during the beginnings of Gorbachev's glasnost campaign—the political electricity generated among oppressed groups when, for the first time, the hidden transcript is spoken directly and publicly in the face of power. His landmark work will revise our understanding of subordination, resistance, hegemony, folk culture, and the ideas behind revolt.

Part philosophical meditation, part cultural critique, this profoundly original work explores the nature of physical suffering. Elaine Scarry bases her study on a wide range of sources: literature and art, medical case histories, documents on torture compiled by Amnesty International, legal transcripts of personal injury trials, and military and strategic writings by such figures as Clausewitz, Churchill, Liddell Hart, and Henry Kissinger. Scarry begins with the fact of pain's inexpressibility. Not only is physical pain difficult to describe in words, it also actively destroys language, reducing sufferers in the most extreme cases to an inarticulate state of cries and moans. Scarry goes on to analyse the political ramifications of deliberately inflicted pain, specifically in the cases of warfare and torture, and she demonstrates how political regimes use the power of physical pain to attack and break down the sufferer's sense of self. Finally she turns to examples of artistic and cultural activity; actions achieved in the face of pain and difficulty.

" -Winterhur Portfolio "For this is a superb book, a definitive exploration of its subject that makes use of the full range of available literature." -American Journal of Sociology "McCracken's book is a fine synthesis of a new current of thought that strives to create an interdisciplinary social science of consumption behaviors, a current to which folklorists have much to contribute." -Journal of American Folklore This provocative book takes a refreshing new view of the culture of consumption. McCracken examines the interplay of culture and consumer behavior from the anthropologist's point of view and provides new insights into the way we view ourselves and our society.

从吉布逊女郎到轻佻女郎，从荡妇到新妇女，卡罗琳·凯奇通过研究杂志封面追溯了大众媒介中妇女形象发展的历史轨迹，揭示了20世纪早期美国文化中社会性别刻板形象的起源。凯奇通过对主要美国杂志封面上不断演变的“故事”所进行的敏锐细致的分析，以一种引人思考、难以预料的方式揭示了1895到1930年间，影响广泛、持续变化的形象模式，正是通过这些模式，妇女所扮演的各种社会角色才得以“显现”。就研究大众文化及其与女性主义发展史的共生关系而言，本书是该领域的主要作品之一。
卡罗琳·凯奇的这部专门研究杂志封面女郎的原创性论著图文并茂，她试图通过对这些妇女形象的研究，向读者演示20世纪早期美国杂志出版文化中关于妇女的刻板形象的再现，这是跨学科的“媒介与社会性别”研究的核心论题之一。
本书作者希望通过追溯美国大众媒介中（主要以妇女杂志为例）妇女形象的历史根源，检验今天被现为当代问题的刻板形象（stereotypes）问题，正如作者所言：“在整个20世纪，大众媒介如何描绘美国妇女——建立一套现在被视作自然的、视觉的妇女语汇——正是这本书的主题，是去探求、理解媒介形象如何创造、改变并使某些特定的（即支配地位的）而非另类的（即非支配地位的）文化理想永垂不朽。这项研究中的中心问题是：为什么和怎样，大众媒介中的女权主义被循环地宣布生存或消亡。”

本书是一本深刻而富有见解的新时期中国女性写作与女性文化的研究专著，非常彻底而全面地用女性主义的观点对新时期代表性女性作家作品进行了富有创新的研究(包括张洁、戴厚英、宗璞、谌容、张抗抗、张辛欣、王安忆、铁凝、刘索拉、残雪、刘西鸿，方方、池莉等重要作家)，发现女作家作品中时隐时现的女性视点与立场的流露，提出了女性写作的“花木兰式境遇”——化妆为超越性别的“人”而写作的追求，在撞击男性文化与写作规范的同时，难免与女性成为文化、话语主体的机遇失之交臂，并在有意无意间放弃了女性经验的丰富庞杂及这些经验自身可能构成的对男权文化的颠覆与冲击。本书是国内研究新时期女性写作的奠基性著作。
本书作者戴锦华最早运用文本细读的方法和西方文学批评理论，从女性主义的角度成功地再解读中国重要女作家的创作，成为今天的一种范式。 戴锦华的强大和缜密超越了简单的女性立场。她有理论，但保着敏感和热情。她有视野与深度，不流于一声叹息。更可贵的是，她的视野穿越了学院，来到了广阔的社会中间，她看到繁华表象下遮蔽的另一种叙事。她是一个真正的思想精英。

本書的核心關懷集中於：在面對當前中國大陸流行文化產業蓬勃發展，具備在群眾間迅速傳播、強烈感染力的特質，成為民眾日常娛樂消費重心的情況下，中國官方是運用何種方式，持續對流行音樂、電影、電視劇、女性雜誌、舞劇等流行文化施展政治性的運用，從而在其文本中賦予黨國意識？這些蘊藏黨國意識的流行文化文本，是否呼應著中國國內外政治環境的變化，呈現出特定型態的意義？同時，中國官方是否藉由流行文化作為其收編群眾的新的統治技術，遂行過往「從群眾中來到群眾去」的群眾路線？

Miniature books, eighteenth-century novels, Tom Thumb weddings, tall tales, and objects of tourism and nostalgia: this diverse group of cultural forms is the subject of On Longing, a fascinating analysis of the ways in which everyday objects are narrated to animate or realize certain versions of the world. Originally published in 1984 (Johns Hopkins University Press), and now available in paperback for the first time, this highly original book draws on insights from semiotics and from psychoanalytic, feminist, and marxist criticism. Addressing the relations of language to experience, the body to scale, and narratives to objects, Susan Stewart looks at the "miniature" as a metaphor for interiority and at the "gigantic" as an exaggeration of aspects of the exterior. In the final part of her essay Stewart examines the ways in which the "souvenir" and the "collection" are objects mediating experience in time and space.

《身体之重》聚焦于身体和性别的物质性和述行性。巴特勒在本书中引入“征” 、“复现”等重要概念，厘清了她首次在《性别麻烦》中提出并引起广泛争议的“性别述行”理论。通过解读柏拉图、伊瑞葛来、拉康、弗洛伊德、德里达等人的相关论述，以及威拉·凯瑟和詹妮·利文斯顿等人的文学文本和电影作品，本书详细考察了霸权话语如何形构了身体、性别和性属，揭示了在此过程中必然产生的排除、错综复杂的身份认同及其不确定性。巴特勒还在书中提出了诸多尚未解决的议题，这意味着身体政治将进入一个更具开放性的话语空间。
巴特勒认为性别的规制力是一种生产力，它具有生产它所控制的身体的力量。性别是被强行物质化了的理想建构——它不是身体的简单事实或静态状况，而是一个过程，通过对律法的反复征引和复现，管制规范强行对身体和性别加以物质化。而这种物质化从来不曾真正完成，事实上，规制性律法的权力可以被反戈一击，生成质疑这种霸权的再表述。

殘障不僅是隱喻而是活生生的現實
「殘」與「障」深具歷史性、社會性與政治性。習常看待「殘障」為個人生命悲劇，或者文學經典中的寓言，並且總以「健全主義」思考的生物學醫療觀點，在在都具現著種種現實的意識形態爭戰。本書選收十篇殘障研究相關論述，將「殘障」轉移到文化與社會的視角，重新思考「殘障」的社會性與歷史性，重述了十則關於殘障的故事。
「我該一出生就被殺死嗎？」
自幼罹患一種肌肉萎縮的病症，坐在輪椅上的殘障人權律師強森，秀麗的深色長髮編成長辮溫柔垂落在她纖細的肩膀，背脊呈現優雅的「扭折深曲的S型」，說：「並不是我醜」，「是大多數的人不知道要怎麼看我」。相對於多數人看見強森只能看見一個受苦的生命，或者，一則殘而不廢的勵志故事，強森引領我們注視她卻不在她身上粘黏汙名的標籤，欣賞她所呈現的「稀有的美」，讓我們重新思考另一種「看」的政治。「我該一出生就被殺死嗎？」強森讓我們看見一個值得過的人生。
殘障視野中的全球化
我們時常聽見一種說法：只要活得夠久，絕大多數人都將變成殘障。然而，那些在早年就變成殘障的人，那些最缺乏管道享用醫療照護、受苦的時間更長而又比較早死去的人，都是住在未開發國家的貧民。不同於第一世界所宣稱的普世平等、流動自由，殘障視野中的全球化模型呈現出：富人以交易之名進行的「器官劫掠」，富國藥廠將感染病毒的藥品銷往貧困的國度，將地雷賣到戰亂的區域，造成了種種嚴重傷殘後，再透過紅十字會空降慈善的義肢——「殘障」作為多重政治性交會的座標，挑戰著階級的不公與財富分配的不均，以及自由市場經濟的種種不義。

:::Book Description:::
1. Profoundly challenging the traditional view of memory as the product and property of individual minds, Collective Remembering investigates remembering and forgetting as socially constituted activities. The authors argue that individuals account for and understand their memories through the concepts, stories, and stereotypes that have been acquired within the parameters of their sociocultural heritage. Collective Remembering explores the ways communities, families, other groups, cultures, and organizations are created, sustained, and transformed. Also examined are the ways in which what is to be remembered--or forgotten--can become rhetorically and ideologically interpreted to account for the past, present, and future of social life. The social character of memory is a focus of growing interest across a range of disciplines including psychology, sociology, communication, history, and anthropology. Collective Remembering makes an important contribution to this emerging debate.
###
2. "I found each of the chapters in Collective Remembering to offer new phenomena to study and new ways of examining problems that are just now being articulated. This text should be read by anyone interested in the study of memory, since it will challenge any preconceived notions about the nature and uses of memory and remembering." --Semiotica
###
3. "The authors have brilliantly described a wide range of phenomena that fall under the heading of collective remembering, but perhaps even more importantly, they have challenged many of the theoretical constructs and boundaries of contemporary social science. It is a major accomplishment and will be looked upon for years as being well ahead of its time." --James V. Wertsch, Clark University

4. "Taken together these essays are the freshest and most promising approach I have seen to begin to map the features we are likely to find in this terrain." --Davis Thelan, Editor, The Journal of American History

5. "Includes many interesting examples of how memories for past events are socially negotiated and in some cases politically manipulated." --The Psychologist
###
6. "A good study by Michael Billig on 'ideology and the British Royal family.' . . . A splendid study by Barry Schwartz on the making, or re-making, of Abraham Lincoln's reputation. . . . Michael Schudson also contributes as engaging piece on American presidential reputations. . . . A third equally valuable and stimulating contribution is David Bakhurst's account of 'social memory in Soviet thought.' . . . The study of memory, as a social and political phenomenon, is one of the most exciting areas of current work. The collection of essays under review makes a useful addition to this literature." --The Sociological Review

简介：
本书从多角度考察了怀旧这种社会现象。第一部从波德莱尔的意象、本雅明的“历史的天使”讲到好莱坞的恐龙和虚拟空间，追述怀旧从十七世纪的“疑病”演变为不可医治的现代症状的历史。第二部着眼于城市和后共产主义的记忆，描写莫斯科、圣彼得堡和柏林的变迁以及东西欧的关系。第三部写流亡者想象中的家园，包括移民美国的俄国作家纳博科夫、诗人布罗茨基、艺术家卡巴科夫等。各种形式的怀旧反映出多元意识形态与文化传统之间、社会与个人之间的复杂碰撞。作者提出主要有两类怀旧：修复型的怀旧试图超历史地重建失去的家园；反思型怀旧则关注人类怀想和归属的模糊涵义，不避讳现代性的种种矛盾。
