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.
要说这种书,仿佛不得不说福柯,所谓话语体系.她跟在福柯后面,自己身患绝症,辗转求医问药,不得不面对众人. 肺炎癌症艾滋一路说过去,其间必然有许多她自身所遭遇的而她认为不该遭遇的东西,然后以学术的语言呈现出来,她本来就是一副控诉者的姿态,对这个世界,对交往中所使用的语言....
评分上海译文刚出版的《苏珊·桑塔格传》开头还挺吸引人:“她最早的记忆之一,是4岁左右在公园里,听到她的爱尔兰保姆跟一个穿着浆过的白制服的大块头说:‘苏珊弦儿总是绷得紧紧的。’”“弦儿总是绷得紧紧的”,是个蛮符合想象的形容,这位美国最具有通俗知名度的女作家、同时宣...
评分感觉桑塔格是想用福柯的方式来消解癌症以及艾滋病,但不是很成功。首先是功课做的没有福柯那么足,这或许也是情有可原的。另一个重要原因大概是癌症与艾滋病与“疯癫”比起来还是具有某些不易轻易消解的因素,比如那些更“硬”的生理和病理特征。当然,围绕癌症与艾滋病当然也...
Comparative Literature R1A... A totally different perspective for illness!
评分感觉桑塔格的这本书写得没什么逻辑,如果看得特别认真会觉得头疼。但是在一点上,她的掌控有一种让人心疼的精准,那就是生病后的羞耻感(不知道是不是所有为大病小病困扰的人都会萌生出一种羞耻感,反正我会)。“It was the discovery of the stigmatization of people who have cancer that led me to write Illness as Metaphor.”桑塔格自己多次和重疾抗争,她比很多人更有权写这本书。
评分My future wife gave this to me so yeah...this is a FANTASTIC book. Love ya <3
评分桑塔格在非常努力地显示自己的深刻。
评分肃然起敬。
