简介:照本雅明的说法,土星是“一颗充迂回曲折、耽搁停留的行星”、桑塔格遂用“土星气质”来描述以本雅明为代表的这类思想家的精神风貌。除本雅明外,本文集还深入评论阿尔托、巴特、卡内蒂等她本人引为榜样和同道的思想家、艺术家的作品,鲜明地描画出他们的精神肖像,桑塔格对他人的评论由是亦成为她本人的一种精神自传。

简介: Both a memoir and an investigation, Swimming in a Sea of Death is David Rieff's loving tribute to his mother, the writer Susan Sontag, and her final battle with cancer. Rieff's brave, passionate, and unsparing witness of the last nine months of her life, from her initial diagnosis to her death, is both an intensely personal portrait of the relationship between a mother and a son, and a reflection on what it is like to try to help someone gravely ill in her fight to go on living and, when the time comes, to die with dignity. Rieff offers no easy answers. Instead, his intensely personal book is a meditation on what it means to confront death in our culture. In his most profound work, this brilliant writer confronts the blunt feelings of the survivor -- the guilt, the self-questioning, the sense of not having done enough. And he tries to understand what it means to desire so desperately, as his mother did to the end of her life, to try almost anything in order to go on living. Drawing on his mother's heroic struggle, paying tribute to her doctors' ingenuity and faithfulness, and determined to tell what happened to them all, Swimming in a Sea of Death subtly draws wider lessons that will be of value to others when they find themselves in the same situation.

简介:《在美国》是一部历史传记,主人公的原型是波兰裔著名演员海伦娜·莫德耶斯卡。莫德耶斯卡一八六八年在华沙崭露头角,一八七七年在旧金山主演《勒库弗勒》英文译剧,“虽英文很差,但仍十分成功”。她偶尔也到伦敦演出。然而,桑塔格的小说《在美国》却不是莫德耶斯卡生活经历的简单重复和记录,而是历史细节、情感刻画和现代意识的有机结合。主人公玛琳娜在波兰舞台上如日中天,被誉为波兰的舞台皇后、民族的希望。但是玛琳娜对自己周围的鲜花和欢呼赞扬已经感到厌倦,人过中年,开始出现生理和心理危机。一八七六年,三十五岁的玛琳娜与丈夫、儿子以及一群崇拜者一道移居美国,栖居在加利福尼亚一隅,希望在傅立叶简朴的社区生活中完成“自我变革”和“精神复苏”。 波兰的理想主义者们购置农田,研究农事,开辟葡萄园,希望建立自己的种植园。经过几个月艰难而又美好的田园生活,牧歌式的乌托邦终因经营不善和内部分歧而夭折。一些人返回波兰,一些人转到另一社区,还有一些人在美国定居。为了渡过经济上的难关,玛琳娜顽强地克服了语言障碍,重返舞台。在从南到北、从城市到乡镇的巡回演出中,玛琳娜风靡美国,成为美国舞台上璀璨夺目的新星。故事在玛琳娜与布更多>>

Aesthetic perspective on Susan Sontag
作者: 袁晓玲著
出版社:武汉大学出版社,2010
简介:《桑塔格思想研究:基于小说文论与影像创作的美学批判》内容简介:苏珊·桑塔格是当代西方兼剧作家、艺术理论家、思想者等多重身份的“新知识分子”,目前学界对她的关注主要集中在文艺理论和泛文化领域。《桑塔格思想研究:基于小说文论与影像创作的美学批判》将其纳入美学的研究视野,并在前人研究的基础上对她的“美学思想”进行了专题聚焦式的探讨。全书扣住桑塔格在小说创作、影像艺术创作和文论创作这三个创作领域来梳理其美学思想内涵的具体表现,进而认为其文艺创作中贯穿着对道德的思考和对艺术的思考,在整体性地“还原”桑塔格美学思想内涵的前提下,以无原则批判的立场从语言、思想和存在三个维度对她的“形式论”、“新感觉力”和“风格论”的思想实质及其关系问题作出了分析,进而认为三者之间真正的关系应该是相互生成的关系,切中了桑塔格思想本身,在学理表述上亦颇有哲学批判的格调。《桑塔格思想研究:基于小说文论与影像创作的美学批判》进而将风格、形式、新感觉力综合为一种结构,并对桑塔格美学思想的时代性等问题展开探讨,这种努力是对桑塔格思想价值和理论品格的重要提升,也将国内外的相关研究带入了一个新的境界和高度。

出版社:译林出版社,2004
简介: 苏珊·桑塔格是当今美国的才女学者、评论家和作家。《恩主》是她小说的开山之作,情节离奇,人物怪诞,不可思议的表面反衬出内在结构与含义的精深。主人公希波赖特按照梦去生活,使“真实”与梦无法区分,犹如一部复杂而狂放的幻想曲,跨越了思维和行动的日常藩篱。小说对巴黎风行的半上流阶层和波希米亚族群作了尖刻准确而又引人入胜的描绘;同时这又是一部关于思想,尤其是宗教思想的作品,值得一读。 提起美国当代作家苏珊·桑塔格(Susan Sontag, 1933— ),人们首先联想到的很可能是她在《长青评论》上发表的《反对阐释》(“Against Interpretation”,1964)。该文的发表,使桑塔格以理论研究而蜚声文坛。不过,料想人们也不会忘记她作为评论家和小说家的“两栖人”身份。事实上,她出版的第一本书就是小说——一部她自己很喜爱的小说,即《恩主》(The Benefactor, 1963)。 苏珊·桑塔格有着良好的艺术禀赋,她从小就做作家梦,七岁动笔写作。她在亚利桑那和加利福尼亚度过童年时代,在伯克利大学就读,后转入芝加哥大学,1951年毕业,又于1954年和1955年在哈佛大学分别获得文学和哲学硕士学位,随即远赴欧洲,继续攻读哲学。在牛津和巴黎这两个知识和思潮的集散地,桑塔格深受影响。桑塔格年轻气盛,她看到当时的文人学士有许多人既是哲学家又是文学家,不免技痒,也想一试身手。当时法国流行的以萨特?代表的存在主义哲学思潮、以阿兰·罗布格里耶等人的新小说和欧仁·尤奈斯库等人的荒诞派戏剧为代表的文艺思潮及其创作实践给桑塔格以极大的启发。存在主义哲学提出的一些基本思想,如存在先于本质、世界和人的揣d车幕牡性、自由选择等,使桑塔格认识到对现实作出存在主义观照的意义,她意识到存在主义文学力图揭示世界及人生的荒诞性。出现?20世纪50年代的法国新小说则强调对小说传统形式的摒弃。阿兰·罗布格里耶就曾毫不客气地指出,传统小说“单调地使用过去时和第三人称,无条件地以时间为发展,以情节为线索的做法,千篇一律地按照人的愿望去安排,每一情节都与情节关连等等——都是强调一个稳定和谐、连绵不断、没有歧义的、完整无缺的世界”,在他看来,这样的世界是不真实的。 在二战后法国哲学思潮和文艺思潮的双重影响下,苏珊·桑塔格逐渐形成了自己的美学观,并在一系列论著中系统地阐述了自己的存在主义文学观。她呼应欧洲现代主义创作理论与实践,并按照自己的理念完成了她最初的文学创作,其中当然包括《恩主》这部长篇小说处女作。 在《恩主》中,桑塔格对梦境、幻觉情有独钟,让读者看到了作为主人公及叙述者的“我”的梦里人生。在这部篇幅不长的叙述作品中,“我”一共做了十三个梦,这还不包括这些梦的不同版本,而“我”差不多就在做梦和释梦中度过了六十一年的人生。因为父亲忙生意,姐姐嫁人,母亲去世,“我”从小就备尝孤独的滋味,并养成了耽于沉思的习惯。在省城读到大三,因发表一篇小题大作的哲学论文而退学,并进入一对中年夫妇——安德斯夫妇——的社交圈。沙龙搞得热热闹闹,“我”虽置身其间,但仍痴迷于自己的思考,并感觉自己踏上了一次精神之旅。然后,开始做梦,先是“两个房间之梦”。梦里的“我”表现出本人的某些性格特征——狡黠的谦卑,动辄产生羞耻感、哀求、害怕的样子,想与梦里压迫“我”、支派“我”的人讲和、套磁儿,等等。接着,“我”开始释梦,并请人帮着释梦。同样的梦中人出现在不同的梦里,如沙龙女主人安德斯太太,在梦里,她一会儿拒绝“我”的要求,一会儿又给“我”投怀送抱。“我”做的这些梦名堂很大,内容各异,包括“我”梦醒之后命名的“非常派对之梦”、“宗教梦”、“老资助人之梦”、“钢琴课之梦”、“镜子之梦”、“红枕头之梦”、“破窗之梦”、“泥鞋子之梦”、“军火库之梦”、“文学梦”、“木偶之梦”,如此等等,不一而足。 最为有趣的是,“我”在梦和日常生活之间搭起桥梁,也因此品尝到了内在生活的滋味。内在生活改变了“我”对他人的态度,梦指导并改变我的日常生活。过着这种亦梦亦真、合二为一的梦生活,“我”充满活力。在梦的导引下,“我”勾引安德斯太太,乘她丈夫出差在外的机会与她私奔。“我”和她在一座阿拉伯城尽情玩乐,而后慷慨地把她卖给一个阿拉伯商人。依稀是两年后吧,她伤痕累累、可怜兮兮地回来。“梦”指示“我”杀死她,可“我”没有成功,因为她坚不可摧。“我”把父亲留下的房子赠给她,等等。梦境和幻想在《恩主》中,似乎不仅起到了展开情节的作用,它们倒更像是小说中的主角儿,梦一个接一个地做,而且,“梦中复有梦中梦”,居然还有了自己的生命和逻辑。梦境和幻觉呈现出处于自我感知、自我探索之中的“我”的困惑和孤独,“我”内在的心灵世界由此也得到真实的再现。

简介: Susan Sontag (1933-2004) spoke of the promiscuity of art and literature—the willingness of great artists and writers to scandalize their spectators through critical frankness, complexity, and beauty. Sontag's life and thought were no less promiscuous. She wrote deeply and engagingly about a range of subjects—theater, sex, politics, novels, torture, and illness—and courted celebrity and controversy both publicly and privately. Throughout her career, she not only earned adulation but also provoked scorn. Her living was the embodiment of scandal. In this collection, Terry Castle, Nancy K. Miller, Wayne Koestenbaum, E. Ann Kaplan, and other leading scholars revisit Sontag's groundbreaking life and work. Against Interpretation, "Notes on Camp," Letter from Hanoi, On Photography, Illness as Metaphor, I, Etcetera, and The Volcano Lover—these works form the center of essays no less passionate and imaginative than Sontag herself. Debating questions raised by the thinker's own images and identities, including her sexuality, these works question Sontag's status as a female intellectual and her parallel interest in ambitious and prophetic fictional women; her ambivalence toward popular culture; and her personal and professional "scandals." Paired with rare photographs and illustrations, this timely anthology expands our understanding of Sontag's images and power. (9/7/09)
简介: Starting in 1976, Andy Warhol shot several rolls of film every week and selected images for his book Andy Warhol's Exposures, published in 1979. He had intended to title it Social Diseases but his concept was heavily watered down by his publishers at the time and many of the selected images were removed. This book presents the previously unpublished and unexhibited photographs,over 70 unique vintage black and white photographic prints, that Warhol originally selected for his book. It has been edited and introduced by Bob Colacello, who was also executive editor of the original book. "There is a sense of intimacy as well as of voyeurism, of funny-looking, insecure, wistful Andy, through flattery and attentiveness, trying to connect. Yet, because he was not just any photographer but a famous artist, a star, there is often a sense that the looking is being done at the man with the camera as well as by him. In some cases, the subjects are clearly performing for their fellow luminary, or close friend, or boss. As spontaneous as these images may seem, they are intrinsically staged, with Warhol himself as both chronicler and catalyst of the moments he is documenting. And what moments they are! Only Andy could get David Hockney in extra-brief running shorts, or Susan Sontag batting her eyelashes across a fancy restaurant table at Gloria Vanderbilt, or Halston's Venezuelan window dresser and lover, Victor Hugo, sitting under Goya's Red Boy in Kitty Miller's Park Avenue parlor .... " (Bob Coacello)
简介:This highly acclaimed critical exploration of modern drama begins with Büchner and Ibsen and then discusses the major playwrights who have shaped modern theater-Strindberg, Chekhov, Pirandello, Brecht, Beckett, and Handke. A new introduction by the author assesses developments of recent years. Reviews of the earlier editions: "The best single study of the astonishing transformations dramatic art has undergone in the last century or so."-Thomas R. Edwards, New York Times Book Review "In its field this is one of the choice books of the century. It moves toward the deepest sources of some great plays, so it deepens their effect on us."-Stanley Kauffmann "The Making of Modern Drama has no rivals. Richard Gilman's account of his fascinating subject is written with love, measure, and authority."-Susan Sontag "Gilman's book on the genesis and development of contemporary drama is acute, beautifully accomplished, and, I think, important."-Donald Barthelme
