为什么值得读

  • 精准预示了数十年后社交媒体引发的舆论现实
  • 揭示公关与营销人员如何制造并操纵虚假事件
  • 促使读者以更加审视和批判的眼光看待现代社会

本书于1962年首次出版,率先提出了“伪事件”这一概念——即诸如新闻发布会和总统辩论等纯粹为了制造报道而炮制出来的事件,并对当代名人作出了“因其知名度而闻名的人”的定义。自那时起,Daniel J. Boorstin 对美国沉溺于自我幻象的前瞻性洞察,便成为了所有渴望在纷繁复杂的文化骗局中甄别少数恒久真理的读者的案头必备。

Hacker News 上怎么说

  • ……这种说法听起来非常像当年对电视的描述。对于这种言论,搬出尼尔·波兹曼的《娱乐至死》(Amusing Ourselves to Death)是通常的反驳套路。但是,丹尼尔·J·布尔斯廷在1962年出版的《幻象》(The Image)[1][2],几乎完美预言了2016–2017年社交媒体带来的后果;我怎么夸它都不为过。(注意:电视(尤其是新闻节目)同样也是一种……

    …saying sounds very much like how TV was once described. Calling attention to Neil Postman’s __Amusing Ourselves to Death__ is the usual rejoinder to a statement like this. But, Daniel J. Boorstin’s __The Image__[1][2], published in 1962, just about perfectly presages the outcomes of 2016 – 2017 vis-à-vis social media; I cannot commend it enough. (N.B television (especially with news shows) is also both a form…

  • 实际上我觉得他们是捡了芝麻丢了西瓜(penny wise and pound foolish)。或者说,他们被闪亮的新玩意分散了注意力。早期的资料,比如这本经典著作 https://www.amazon.com/Image-Guide-Pseudo-Events-America/dp/... 把公关和营销人员描绘成愤世嫉俗的操纵者,自己绝不会掉入自己制造的幻象中。后现代环境已经有了大约60年的……

    Actually I think they are being penny wise and pound foolish. Alternately, they are distracted by the new shiny. Early sources, such as this classic book https://www.amazon.com/Image-Guide-Pseudo-Events-America/dp/... frame public relations and marketing folk as cynical manipulators who don't fall for the illusions they create. The post-modern environment has had about 60 years…

  • 《性史》- 米歇尔·福柯;《规训与惩罚》- 米歇尔·福柯;《幻象:美国伪事件指南》(The Image: A Guide to Pseudo-Events in America)- 丹尼尔·J·布尔斯廷。这些书会让你以批判得多的视角审视社会。前两本很难读,但依然很棒,而且经常被引用……

    The History of Sexuality - Michel Foucault Discipline and Punish - Michel Foucault The Image: A Guide to Pseudo-Events in America - Daniel J. Boorstin These books make you look at society in a much more critical manner. The first two are difficult reads, but none the less good and referenced…

  • 写得太棒了。让我想起了丹尼尔·布尔斯廷的《幻象:美国伪事件指南》(The Image: A Guide to Pseudo-Events in America)。

    Great read. Reminds me of "The Image: A Guide to Pseudo-Events in America" by Daniel Boorstin.

  • 永恒的经典。沿着类似的脉络,我推荐丹尼尔·布尔斯廷(前美国国会图书馆馆长)的《幻象:美国伪事件指南》(The Image: A Guide to Pseudo-events in America)。

    A timeless classic. Along similar lines I'd recommend "The Image: A Guide to Pseudo-events in America", by Daniel Boorstin (former Librarian of Congress).

  • 不确定你是否对这个感兴趣,但最近有朋友推荐把这两本对照着读:戴维·布尔斯廷的《幻象》(The Image)和马尔科姆·哈里斯的《帕罗奥多》(Palo Alto)。两本书都对技术的演变提出了看法,但作者的立场截然相反。《幻象》读起来尤其有意思……

    Not sure if this is what you're interested in, but a friend recently recommended reading these two in tandem: "The Image" by David Boorstin, and "Palo Alto" by Malcom Harris Both offer views on the evolution of technology, but from authors with somewhat opposing viewpoints. "The Image" is particularly interesting to read…
