Distant Suffering, first published in 1999, examines the moral and political implications for a spectator of the distant suffering of others as presented through the media. What are the morally acceptable responses to the sight of suffering on television, for example, when the viewer cannot act directly to affect the circumstances in which the suffering takes place? Luc Boltanski argues that spectators can actively involve themselves and others by speaking about what they have seen and how they were affected by it. Developing ideas in Adam Smith's moral theory, he examines three rhetorical 'topics' available for the expression of the spectator's response to suffering: the topics of denunciation and of sentiment and the aesthetic topic. The book concludes with a discussion of a 'crisis of pity' in relation to modern forms of humanitarianism. A possible way out of this crisis is suggested which involves an emphasis and focus on present suffering.

评分读过前几章,不过现在没有什么兴趣不打算读完了。作者引用了Adam Smith的理论,区分了pity, compassion等等概念,其实是想探讨我们需不需要,并且有没有可能对那些和自己没有什么联系的远方的人产生共情。在图像时代,我们每天能接触到许多关于战争、杀戮和灾难的新闻,但是我们越来越麻木,图片也失去了“刺点”。这本书或许可以作为这个现象的注脚。
评分这本两年前被我搁置的书终于用了两周时间读完了,中间昏睡过无数次。三观尽毁,学术经脉打通之余面临新一轮的混乱和重构。这就是学术带来的最大乐趣,总在你自以为是的时候让你时不时归零重整。另外,我要学法语!没法忍受英语翻译对法国学术界的糟蹋了。
