Cruel Optimism provides important new ways of understanding subjectivity, temporality, attachment, and the political in the present moment. Lauren Berlant explores individual and collective affective responses to the unravelling of the U.S. and European economies by analyzing mass media, literature, television, film, and video produced in the United States and Europe since 1990. Her incisive interpretations track the emergence of a sense of crisis in relation to conventional notions of the good life and expectations of upward mobility, job security, political and social equality, and enduring intimacy. Berlant suggests modes of temporality that characterize the present, particularly the impasse and the situation, and she discusses new genres such as the "situation tragedy" and the "cinema of precarity," which reflect the eroding power of the fantasy of the good life and the ways that crisis has become ordinary. Given this "crisis ordinariness," Berlant argues that trauma theory, which focuses on the intense and extraordinary, is not well suited to explaining the impasse of present. Berlant advocates attention to how people register and adjust to the pressures of contemporary life and how these processes unfold over time.
因为淡豹老师看了这本书,“而一个更好的世界,是我们的人生叙事可以整全、不被打断的世界,是我们对爱和劳动的追求不会必然地让我们陷于困局的世界。”淡豹老师赛高,今日妇女节共勉。
评分所有的许诺本质上都是痛苦的,但偏偏会被人们感受以乐观的情动形式,然而新自由主义经济构建的好生活幻觉中,处处都是裂痕,这本书就是用来揭示这些裂痕,打开那个粉红色的世界的。文本细读的功夫很足,但思想强度离齐泽克还是差了不少(cruel optimism完全可以看作是意识形态崇高客体的反题)。
评分开出了一条有别于日常生活批判的、重审the ordinary的路径。Berlant在反社会vs.乌托邦论战中的暧昧坐标,似乎见证了她如何在元理论的层面上践行自己对情节剧式冲突的警惕。Sianne Ngai认为此书的贡献在于提供了non-contempt for the normal的可能性,在拆解normativity的同时超越了anti-normativity的局限。
评分为什么不把这些话大声清楚地说出来,而是写得这么隐晦呢?不震耳欲聋,美国人是听不到醒不来的
评分一个字棒啊。
