John Berger was born in London in 1926. He is well known for his novels and stories as well as for his works of nonfiction, including several volumes of art criticism. His first novel, A Painter of Our Time, was published in 1958, and since then his books have included the novel G., which won the Booker Prize in 1972. In 1962 he left Britain permanently, and he lives in a small village in the French Alps.
How do we see the world around us? The Penguin on Design series includes the works of creative thinkers whose writings on art, design and the media have changed our vision forever.
"Seeing comes before words. The child looks and recognizes before it can speak."
"But there is also another sense in which seeing comes before words. It is seeing which establishes our place in the surrounding world; we explain that world with words, but word can never undo the fact that we are surrounded by it. The relation between what we see and what we know is never settled."
John Berger's Ways of Seeing is one of the most stimulating and influential books on art in any language. First published in 1972, it was based on the BBC television series about which the (London) Sunday Times critic commented: "This is an eye-opener in more ways than one: by concentrating on how we look at paintings... he will almost certainly change the way you look at pictures." By now he has.
三周以前,去人艺看话剧。演出结束后,到大厅旁边的戏剧书店闲逛,无意中发现了这本小册子一样的书,翻了几页,就被深深吸引住了。 这本书英文名称为《Ways of Seeing》,作者John Berger是英国的艺术史家、小说家和画家。书的封底这样介绍:“这本谈论艺术与社会关系的小册子...
评分最近重看了约翰·伯格的《观看之道》。这是一本关于影像与文化的书,书不厚,却能让你颠覆三观。 约翰·伯格1926年生于伦敦,是艺术批评家,同时也是画家和小说家,上世纪50年代曾经举办过个人画展,小说《G》还获得过英国布克奖。自1952年尾伦敦的左派杂志《New Statesman》...
评分此书购于数年前。反复阅读。受益匪浅。书中内容围绕着一个焦点image。它不是我们原始肉眼所见的影像,而是人为的创作摹拟。观看先于语言。看把物和人拉入共谋的关系,所有的image反映的都是一个主题:人是怎么在看。在看的过程中。不可避免的过滤掉了一些东西。最后呈现在我们...
评分枯燥的閱讀報告。10/2013 【Reading Report: Ways of Seeing】 First made as a four-part TV programme narrated by John Berger himself, Ways of Seeing was published in 1972, and remained a vastly influential work in both fields of cultural studies and visual a...
评分英语里有一句话,“Seeing is believing。”我们生活在充斥着大量视觉信息(包括广告、网络上的各种图片之类)的社会,在看的时候或许从未思考这些视觉对象所含有的信息,而只是将它们当做一种事实片段简单掠过。而在逛博物馆和艺术馆的时候,我们也不乏看见很多走马观花的...
值得一读 摘文 "Glamour cannot exist without personal social envy being a common and widespread emotion."
评分我觉得这本书的BBC纪录片更好看°°
评分最后一章尤为精彩。
评分看什么、看成什么、在哪里看、怎么看,伯格企图揭示观看背后的社会关系、特别是权力关系。1.复制品对原作在观看方式上的颠覆,2.女性(身体)的surveyor和surveyed,nakedness和nude之间的差别,被绘画/审视客体化的女性,女性始终以暗含的男性目光审视自己,甚至无意识地取悦男性(想想正义联盟中神奇女侠的超短裙)。3.西方文明的油画传统,从物到风景都成为财产、占有权的宣示,即便对自然的沉醉或者神话题材也是装饰性的,substantiality and emptiness,4.广告transform our lives by buying something more,envy诱导的快乐形成了glamour,对未来的白日梦式的允诺,补偿了现代社会中人对自己无能与渴望能之间的鸿沟。
