The fable of the Emperor's New Clothes is a classic example of a conspiracy of silence, a situation where everyone refuses to acknowledge an obvious truth. But the denial of social realities--whether incest, alcoholism, corruption, or even genocide--is no fairy tale. In The Elephant in the Room, Eviatar Zerubavel sheds new light on the social and political underpinnings of silence and denial--the keeping of "open secrets." The author shows that conspiracies of silence exist at every level of society, ranging from small groups to large corporations, from personal friendships to politics. Drawing on examples from newspapers and comedy shows to novels, children's stories, and film, the book travels back and forth across different levels of social life, and from everyday moments to large-scale historical events. At its core, The Elephant in the Room helps us understand why we ignore truths that are known to all of us. Zerubavel shows how such conspiracies evolve, illuminating the social pressures that cause people to deny what is right before their eyes. We see how each conspirator's denial is symbiotically complemented by the others', and we learn that silence is usually more intense when there are more people conspiring--and especially when there are significant power differences among them. He concludes by showing that the longer we ignore "elephants," the larger they loom in our minds, as each avoidance triggers an even greater spiral of denial. Social life in families, organizations, communities and even entire nations is full of situations where the emperor has no clothes. The Elephant in the Room illuminates the dynamics behind these situations, revealing why we ignore obvious and alarming realities.

評分书,很快看完了。但是思想却像是隔着层迷雾。 从最开始接触翻译的教科书到现在,不知道是否是译本书籍,已经丧失了原有语言的魅力,词句味同嚼蜡。而真正要表达的想法,很难从字里行间中梳理和归纳。洋洋洒洒的一章下来,没有重点疏离。 想知道原因,恐怕唯有拓展自己的语言能...

評分说什么等于不说什么 无须多言,使人们噤声的方式本身,就常常以鸦雀无声的方式进行。 ——Eviatar Zerubavel 0 最近几天一直在负责报销项目经费。在中国的学术体制中,“报销”是一个有趣的词汇。比如一项国家课题,就存在着许多的界限:每张票据不能超过200元,餐费不能超...
評分“房间里的大象”,这是英语中的一句成语,意思是一件事明明存在,但大家却视而不见,集体回避它。 比如性,许多中国父母从不告诉孩子们它究竟是什么,所有与之相关的话题都在屏蔽之列,直到他们有一天自己撞上这只“房间里的大象”,如果足够幸运,他们的心灵也许不会受到伤...
