The fable of the Emperor's New Clothes is a classic example of a conspiracy of silence, a situation where everyone refuses to acknowledge an obvious truth. But the denial of social realities--whether incest, alcoholism, corruption, or even genocide--is no fairy tale. In The Elephant in the Room, Eviatar Zerubavel sheds new light on the social and political underpinnings of silence and denial--the keeping of "open secrets." The author shows that conspiracies of silence exist at every level of society, ranging from small groups to large corporations, from personal friendships to politics. Drawing on examples from newspapers and comedy shows to novels, children's stories, and film, the book travels back and forth across different levels of social life, and from everyday moments to large-scale historical events. At its core, The Elephant in the Room helps us understand why we ignore truths that are known to all of us. Zerubavel shows how such conspiracies evolve, illuminating the social pressures that cause people to deny what is right before their eyes. We see how each conspirator's denial is symbiotically complemented by the others', and we learn that silence is usually more intense when there are more people conspiring--and especially when there are significant power differences among them. He concludes by showing that the longer we ignore "elephants," the larger they loom in our minds, as each avoidance triggers an even greater spiral of denial. Social life in families, organizations, communities and even entire nations is full of situations where the emperor has no clothes. The Elephant in the Room illuminates the dynamics behind these situations, revealing why we ignore obvious and alarming realities.

“緻謝”的作用 伊維塔是這樣寫緻謝的: “…… 1999年,我在係裏舉辦的一個全國性學術會議上,做瞭一個——社會組織中的沉默和否認的報告——算是逐漸成型想法的一個早期總結。。。 該報告引發廣泛討論,但是與會的10多名同時中,隻有2人會後和我聊瞭聊。。。 這件事恰好證...
評分本書是從社會學的角度來探討個人和集體生活中的共謀性沉默的,房間裏的大象,一個英語諺語,用來錶示大傢都知道卻不提及的事。腰封上寫著,這是"關於集體沉默的第一本完整研究著作"。作者據說在學院生涯中受到瞭什麼集體沉默事件的委屈,於是努力解剖這頭討厭的大象。 ...
評分“房間裏的大象”,這是英語中的一句成語,意思是一件事明明存在,但大傢卻視而不見,集體迴避它。 比如性,許多中國父母從不告訴孩子們它究竟是什麼,所有與之相關的話題都在屏蔽之列,直到他們有一天自己撞上這隻“房間裏的大象”,如果足夠幸運,他們的心靈也許不會受到傷...
評分 評分說什麼等於不說什麼 無須多言,使人們噤聲的方式本身,就常常以鴉雀無聲的方式進行。 ——Eviatar Zerubavel 0 最近幾天一直在負責報銷項目經費。在中國的學術體製中,“報銷”是一個有趣的詞匯。比如一項國傢課題,就存在著許多的界限:每張票據不能超過200元,餐費不能超...
