家园 管窥话语霸权

写这个短帖算是为这个帖子做个注释。

天涯睡客:你不懂什么叫话语霸权

也是碰巧看到一片好文。

Ask No Questions, Tell No Truth

“Daddy,” the little boy on the bus asks, “what park is that?”

“I don’t know.”

Two blocks later. “Who’s the man in that statue?”

“Beats me.”

“What’s that big building with the point on top?”

“I haven’t a clue”

“Dad. Does it bother you if I keep asking questions?”

“If you don’t ask questions how will you learn?”

我要说的,还不止是这篇文章的内容,而是这篇文章本身的存在,昭示着统治阶层的自信满满。试问:

1。这篇文章有多少人看得到?

2。看得到的有多少人看得懂?

3。看得懂的有多少人愿意去思考?

4。愿意去思考的有多少人愿意将其化为自身行动的一个考虑因素?

5。愿意去实践的,又有多少人,在强大的帝国机器面前能起到作用?

这个网站的存在,其本身就是一种宣示:“这一方面,你们可以拥有言论自由了。”

什么叫话语霸权。

幸或不幸,中国离话语霸权还有一段距离。虽然与美国的对应舆论圈都已具雏形,但统治阶层还是比较顾忌民舆的。等到中国的民智“进化”到美国的程度,那就不用太过顾忌了。

谨记,当别人“允许”你拥有言论自由之时,便是你完全丧失言论自由之时。切切不要重蹈美国人的覆辙。

家园 【讨论】美国历史杂志如何控制舆论

原稿:How American History Magazine Censored Palestine

不是要讨论巴勒斯坦,而是要看看在美国所谓的媒体“自由”

摘几段来看看:

American History magazine refused to run our advertisement.

In fact, Advertising Director Julie Kershenbaum gratuitously informed us that they would not publish it in any of the 10 other U.S. history magazines owned by the same company. She said that the chain’s CEO and publisher, Eric Weider, had personally made the decision.

The reason? CNI is allegedly “anti-Israel.”

With this new Weider-Pecker alliance came a change in how American Media’s tabloids covered Schwarzenegger, who was then running for California governor, and whose previous steroid use, sexual affairs (one allegedly with a minor), bullying groping incidents, etc. were the kind of fodder that often fuels tabloids.

According to an article in the San Jose Mercury News, “Tabloids Starry-Eyed for Schwarzenegger,” by Dion Nissenbaum, Pecker promised Weider that his tabloids would “lay off’’ Schwarzenegger and “not dig up any dirt” on the gubernatorial candidate. In fact, following its deal with Weider, American Media now seemed to be promoting Schwarzenegger.

The Mercury News reported that American Media produced a 120-page glossy magazine called Arnold, the American Dream, “crammed with flattering photographs” that auspiciously hit the streets just as Schwarzenegger headed into the final lap of his campaign for governor.

The next year, after Schwarzenegger became governor, Pecker made him executive editor of Flex and Muscle & Fitness, promising him an estimated $8 million over the next five years for helping to “further the business objectives” of the company, according to the LA Times.

家园 Informing our consent.

我转这些文章的目的都是为了警告。美国人走的弯路我们都要知道,都要借鉴。

Informing Our Consent

Even someone as establishment as Hillary Clinton says so: “In fact viewership of al Jazeera is going up in the United States because it’s real news. You may not agree with it, but you feel like you’re getting real news around the clock instead of a million commercials and, you know, arguments between talking heads and the kind of stuff that we do on our news which, you know, is not particularly informative to us, let alone foreigners.”

家园 看不懂,为什么当别人“允许”你拥有言论自

难道美国人比中国人蠢?

家园 Fear of the People's History

偶尔看到特别好的文章,会放在这儿和大家分享。

看看在帝国是如何对内的吧:

England's Two Countries:Fear of the People’s History

说好的社会福利呢?

the mining region of the Hunter Valley in New South Wales. Here, whole collieries had shipped out from Yorkshire, Tyneside and Durham. “Watch them; they’re communists,” I heard someone say. They were fighters for working class decency: proper pay, safety and solidarity. The Welsh were the same. They brought with them the pain and suffering and anger of those who had industralised the world and gained little but the resilient comfort of each other.

说好的民主呢?

The Labour MP turned media man, Brian Walden, described how it worked. “The two front benches [in Parliament] liked each other and disliked their back benches,” he wrote. “We were children of the famous consensus … turning the opposition into government made little difference, for we believed much the same things.”

说好的言论自由呢?

The term “working class”, I was told, had “political implications” and would not be acceptable to the Independent Television Authority. It would have to be changed to “working heritage”. Then there was the problem of the term “the people”. This was a “Marxist expression” and also had to go. And what was this “consensus”? Surely, Britain had a vibrant two-party system.

说好的发展呢?

In Clara Street in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, in the wintry dark of early morning, I walked down the hill with people who worked more than sixty hours a week for a pittance. They described their “gains” as the Health Service.

家园 Two Cheers for Pope Francis

http://www.counterpunch.org/2013/12/16/two-cheers-for-pope-francis/

其实从某个角度来说,共产主义是天主教的anti-thesis。而基督教早期的发展,对现在中国毛泽东思想的发展有很重要的借鉴意义。

The equation of Marxism with Communism is no more correct, though, than equating belief in a god with belief in Catholicism. Furthering the confusion, most Americans, again thanks to all the propaganda to which we are subjected almost from birth, equate Communism with socialism And there things get even more complicated because in reality, many — perhaps even most– socialists are not really Marxists, and in some cases, such as Christian socialists, they may openly reject Marxism, the way the pope is doing.

家园 方济各干了啥?
家园 没干啥,打嘴炮

先是反对自由主义经济,然后就被指控是“马克思主义”,然后就说了句“虽然马克思主义是错的,但是许多马克思主义者是好人”,然后就“友邦惊诧”了。

其实看点是美国受众思想中那种固步自封。这是他们没有未来最大的证据之一。

For nearly two decades now, Beijing has worked through various witting and unwitting surrogates, many of them Westerners, to persuade the United States and Europe that China’s rise is somehow an illusion.

好吧,我承认,是在兔吧看到中文版本的才找到原版的。

亮点在最后两段:

Let us remember that profit comes from a capitalist paying employees less than the value of what they produce. As Karl Marx demonstrated, the value of a product would be the same if the workers sold the commodity themselves, thereby retaining the full value of what they produced rather than having much of it taken by the capitalist. The portion taken by the capitalist therefore is the source of the capitalist’s profit and not the circulation of the product.

There is a reason that we are enduring a decades-long race to the bottom. Although the corporate press would like you to believe the propaganda that vast fortunes result from the magical acumen of captains of industry, the reality is ruthless exploitation. Inequality does not fall out of the sky.

常常在想,马克思本来在西方基本上已经绝迹了。资本家到底要作多大死才能把他老人家重新呼唤回来。

家园 乌克兰局势分析

The Ukraine, As We Know It, Is Gone Forever

只能再三摇头。人民的政治觉醒是很重要的。虽然在提升政治觉醒的过程中要付出代价,但是在关键时刻,人民的力量才能发挥出来,成为国家管理机构的坚强后盾。

2008年,再加上今年的香港,反观乌克兰、泰国、埃及,总觉得,中国有什么东西做对了。

准确一点的说,中国有什么东西是世界上大多数人(包括很多中国人)都认为是错误的经验,在关键时刻发挥了难以估计的力量。

家园 托克维尔曲线

在观察网看到这篇文章:

托克维尔曲线:解析法国大革命和中国清王朝的覆灭

心下凛然,后再看评论,又稍觉宽慰。推荐大家仔细看看,同时也要看评论。

摘几段:

通过深入研究,他很快发现了一个奇特的现象:路易十六统治时期是旧君主制下最繁荣的时期,何以繁荣反而加速了革命的到来?何以减轻人民负担反而激怒了人民?在后来成为大革命主要发源地的那些地方,恰恰是法国进步最明显的地方;相反对大革命的反抗最激烈持久的地方,则是旧制度保存得最完整的地方。以至于有人困惑地说,法国人的处境越好就越觉得无法忍受。

而就在路易十六的改革步步推进,到了“深水区”的时候,反而激化了矛盾,引来了革命的风暴。这完全是一场在错误的时间到来的革命。至于其中的原因,托克维尔意味深长地总结道:

“被革命摧毁的政权几乎总是比它前面的那个政权更好。而且经验告诉我们,对于一个坏政府来说,最危险的时候通常就是它开始改革的时候。”

慈禧太后与路易十六导演的改革悲剧,完全如出一辙。古今中外推行民主政治的主要障碍,不在民智未开,而是官智未开。法国在资产阶级革命来临之前,政府也开始进行改革,但改革同样加速了自己统治的灭亡。改革培养了新兴的社会力量,使原有统治基础逐步解体。而一旦新兴社会力量并未成为自己新的统治基础,相反成为自己的对立面,政府就会陷入孤立,其统治地位也随之发生动摇。而恰在此时,旧制度的残余和旧势力的特权,较之往日更加百倍地引起人们憎恨,必欲彻底革除。政府如果不能满足这一愿望,或是等待观望,或者中途徘徊,或者百般推脱,必然会被日益失去耐性的人民无情抛弃。清末新政的历史结局,对路易十六如何招来法国大革命的过程,作了最充分的论证,为我们提供了深刻的历史教训。
