从Burke与Kant的sublime开始,介绍了美国从natural sublime到technological sublime的发展过程,点出了美国社会文化从敬畏自然引出的超越思考到将自然看作人的延伸,从杰斐逊式的以科技整合各阶层人群到如今科技壮观钱所有个体的匿名无个性,而在这种掌控的意图到达顶峰之后,这个世界有了足以摧毁自身的核武器,解构了人们对于把握科技的幻想,并进入本身就是后现代体验的consumer sublime之中。有意思的是,作者时时提醒读者,欧洲的发展过程与此完全不同,这种technological sublime是特定历史进程创造的,而中国明显走的是美国的路子,所以,这种科技的sublime可以转移与模仿吗?当人类登上月球,是否自然sublime重新回来,我们进入新阶段

评分技术的大众政治经验建构。分析框架里不止有kant之后的自然-心灵对话关系向技术-认知的转化,还有哲学独思向集体崇拜模式的变化。前者较为清晰,后者暗示于作者的方法背后。书评里发问技术崇高之后的转化object,其实就是agent,正因为作者框架本身建立在集体认知,游行,博览会和旅游景点中,所以缺失机构的转译力量,这个方面来看,它更像是个技术崇拜现象的文化研究。一本让人频频赞叹的好论述,一边读一边总是想起来跨物种民族志。
Technology has long played a central role in the formation of Americans' sense of selfhood. From the first canal systems through the moon landing, Americans have, for better or worse, derived unity from the common feeling of awe inspired by large-scale applications of technological prowess. American Technological Sublime continues the exploration of the social construction of technology that David Nye began in his award-winning book Electrifying America. Here Nye examines the continuing appeal of the "technological sublime" (a term coined by Perry Miller) as a key to the nation's history, using as examples the natural sites, architectural forms, and technological achievements that ordinary people have valued intensely.American Technological Sublime is a study of the politics of perception in industrial society. Arranged chronologically, it suggests that the sublime itself has a history - that sublime experiences are emotional configurations that emerge from new social and technological conditions, and that each new configuration to some extent undermines and displaces the older versions. After giving a short history of the sublime as an aesthetic category, Nye describes the reemergence and democratization of the concept in the early nineteenth century as an expression of the American sense of specialness.What has filled the American public with wonder, awe, even terror? David Nye selects the Grand Canyon, Niagara Falls, the eruption of Mt. St. Helens, the Erie Canal, the first transcontinental railroad, Eads Bridge, Brooklyn Bridge, the major international expositions, the Hudson-Fulton Celebration of 1909, the Empire State Building, and Boulder Dam. He then looks at the atom bomb tests and the Apollo mission as examples of the increasing ambivalence of the technological sublime in the postwar world. The festivities surrounding the rededication of the Statue of Liberty in 1986 become a touchstone reflecting the transformation of the American experience of the sublime over two centuries. Nye concludes with a vision of the modern-day "consumer sublime" as manifested in the fantasy world of Las Vegas.
