The Great Cat Massacre (1984) is the subject of a scholarly work by American historian Robert Darnton, describing and interpreting an unusual source detailing the murder or "massacre" of cats during the late 1730s by apprentice printers living and working on Rue Saint-Séverin in Paris.
Darnton describes how, as the apprentices suffered hard conditions, they came to resent the favours which their masters gave to their cats, and contrived to deal with the nuisance cats by slaughtering them so as to distress their masters. Darnton interprets this as an early form of workers' protest.
Believing that historians should adopt anthropological methods in order to understand 'the otherness' of previous eras,Robert Darnton analyses a rich variety of sources,from grim peasant folklore to Enlightenment philosophy,in order to show not merely what men and women thought,but why they thought it.

我早些時間對神話學的興趣很大,甚至還不自量力地寫瞭幾篇關於希臘神話的劄記。但後麵意識到一個大問題。就我的學力而言,勉強可以應付如何去解釋文本畢竟這是個比較容易的活,因為有那麼多的理論體係可供我們隨意引用,更因為解釋這個事情本來就沒有標準答案。換句話說,對...
評分1730年代末期的巴黎聖塞佛倫街,一群印刷業學徒熱情洋溢地審判並殺死瞭他們所能看見的全部貓,包括老闆娘的心頭寵物,在狂歡的氣氛中他們當著老闆的麵將貓的屍體吊在工場,並在接下來幾天裏不斷模仿當時的情境。他們大笑大鬧,又敲又打,還學羊一般咩咩叫,把這當成難得的娛樂...
評分德)聚斯金德的《香水——一個謀殺犯的故事》中的主人公是香水製造師。 有興趣的讀者,可以試著用《屠貓記》中“印刷業學徒的暴動”的分析路徑,來分析《香水》中香水師行業背後的時代、社會背景。 我是力有不逮,但很希望看到哦。
評分這是本美國人寫的法國文化史,截取的時間斷麵是十八世紀的法國。這個時間點的選擇是很討巧的,它正是社會劇変之前,而通常社會變革總發生在文化自發變化纍積到一定程度時,於是在這個時間切入點中我們可以看到變革的前兆,亦即是後來的法國大革命的預徵。 當然羅伯特·逹恩...
評分文人共和國永遠是迷人存在,知識分子鬢角墨香的形象重重交織,閃光的字符密碼四溢飛濺——總要和這個世界談談,考慮敘事如何打撈意義,或者言說如何引領文字英雄抵達地心的荒原。馬爾科姆•考利精心迴憶著二戰期間格林威治村中“文化人”的...

挺有趣的18世紀法國社會的不同階層的切片。如何從殘酷離奇的民謠版小紅帽裏探究農民的心智世界;印刷廠短工們的屠貓狂歡把古老儀式和手工業師徒製的瓦解聯係起來;新興的布爾喬亞在對城市的描述中重新劃分社會等級;巴黎警察記錄的文人百態;《百科全書》僅僅從分類就觸動瞭神學和王權的根基;以及盧梭的小說實現瞭新型的作者和讀者間的關係。三星半。個人最喜歡前兩個,最後一章看的中文版,翻譯還不錯。
評分Very intriguing
