Listen to "An Electronic Cabaret: Paris Street Songs, 1748-50" for songs from Poetry and the Police Audio recording copyright [copyright] 2010 by the President and Fellows of Harvard College. All rights reserved. In spring 1749, Francois Bonis, a medical student in Paris, found himself unexpectedly hauled off to the Bastille for distributing an 'abominable poem about the king.' So began the Affair of the Fourteen, a police crackdown on ordinary citizens for unauthorized poetry recitals. Why was the official response to these poems so intense? In this captivating book, Robert Darnton follows the poems as they passed through several media: copied on scraps of paper, dictated from one person to another, memorized and declaimed to an audience. But the most effective dispersal occurred through music, when poems were sung to familiar tunes. Lyrics often referred to current events or revealed popular attitudes toward the royal court. The songs provided a running commentary on public affairs, and Darnton brilliantly traces how the lyrics fit into song cycles that carried messages through the streets of Paris during a period of rising discontent. He uncovers a complex communication network, illuminating the way information circulated in a semi-literate society. This lucid and entertaining book reminds us of both the importance of oral exchanges in the history of communication and the power of 'viral' networks long before our internet age.

評分特彆喜歡的是把法國大革命時期思想動蕩對應到懶王(Rois fainéants)時代的母題中,這不僅僅是藉古諷今,也是重塑曆史,重新去探究曆史中的空白之處。另外,書中對大眾傳播中的時事政治評論的解讀也非常發人深省,讀這本書恍如隔世,我甚至覺得在互聯網信息時代,如今身邊仍然有許多類似The Affair of the Fourteen的情形。

評分正好有個朋友在研究類似的主題,不過脈絡是近代中國,參照起來很有趣。
評分The power of Public opinion and how it process by orality.
