评分 评分之前曾听一个朋友闲聊,完全可以写一本《肺结核、太太们的客厅以及十九世纪文学》的这样一篇论文,苏珊·桑塔格的《疾病的隐喻》正是从文学史上被隐喻的优雅化的肺结核——一种让死亡变得优雅得令人肃然起敬的疾病谈起。所以这篇论文就没有必要再写了。 “结核病被认为是源自...

In 1978 Susan Sontag wrote "Illness as Metaphor," a classic work described by "Newsweek" as "one of the most liberating books of its time." A cancer patient herself when she was writing the book, Sontag shows how the metaphors and myths surrounding certain illnesses, especially cancer, add greatly to the suffering of patients and often inhibit them from seeking proper treatment. By demystifying the fantasies surrounding cancer, Sontag shows cancer for what it is--just a disease. Cancer, she argues, is not a curse, not a punishment, certainly not an embarrassment and, it is highly curable, if good treatment is followed. Almost a decade later, with the outbreak of a new, stigmatized disease replete with mystifications and punitive metaphors, Sontag wrote a sequel to "Illness" "as Metaphor," extending the argument of the earlier book to the AIDS pandemic. These two essays now published together, "Illness" "as Metaphor "and "AIDS and Its Metaphors," have been translated into many languages and continue to have an enormous influence on the thinking of medical professionals and, above all, on the lives of many thousands of patients and caregivers.
在近几天往返纽约的车程中重读了这本书。太喜欢桑塔格了,喜欢她对疾病之隐喻的分析,喜欢她的文风,也喜欢她作为“人”的部分。《疾病的隐喻》是桑塔格患癌后结合个人真实感受所写,这个部分我太能共情了!
评分肃然起敬。
评分旁征博引。“The Romantics invented invalidism as a pretext for leisure, and for dismissing bourgeois obligations in order to live only for one’s art. ” 我宣布留学生的pretext for leisure是humanities.
评分My future wife gave this to me so yeah...this is a FANTASTIC book. Love ya <3
评分第一部分比较个人化,第二部分(AIDS and its metaphor)我觉得倒是讲了些social/political/collective response。有一点需要吐槽…第一部分虽然很多很精彩的想法,但有点碎片化,东一个西一个的,有时候读到半中腰就要自己去查查资料分析分析。我觉得这种体验还蛮怪的,因为显得整第一部分没什么主要论点,感觉像想到哪写到哪一样。
