  • 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 我们如何失去“民主”的招牌?

      British values: Real and imagined

      转这篇文章为的是这段:

      Don’t get me wrong – Cameron is constantly at pains to point out that “the vast majority of law abiding British Muslims” share these values. But his very language leads us to believe that those Muslims who do share such values do so because of their Britishness, and despite their Islam. The danger of this narrative is multiple. Not only does it reinforce ignorant prejudices about Islam’s ‘aversion’ to democracy, the rule of law and tolerance – but it also justifies the rejection of such values by groups such as ISIS. For ISIS are the prime believers in Cameron’s message that such values are “British” and “Western.” And as people who hate Britain and the West and all it has done to the world, they feel duty bound to reject the values it espouses. Yet they forget that Islamic culture has a proud – and much longer – history of practicing them than does the “West” itself. And why do they forget this? Because they believe the distortions of their own history perpetrated by Cameron and his ilk. The more, therefore, that Cameron claims democracy, tolerance and the rule of law to be distinctly British phenomenon – insinuating all the while that they are not indigenous to Islam – the more that angry young Muslims, who have seen their homelands torn apart by Britain, are drawn into the orbit of those militant groups who reject these values.

      我们是不是也忘了新中国是在民主的价值观上建立起来的?我们是否也忘了人民民主专政这六个字?

    • 家园 John Mearsheimer:

      Can China Rise Peacefully?

      有没有人看过他的文章?他似乎在美国很被重视。如果美国决策者都是象他这样想事情的,事情很麻烦。

      对这个领域熟悉的可否说一下看法?先谢过。

      • 家园 这人的视频不少,可以看一看

        十年前可能这样的人属于比较偏激的,他自己也说他那时的话很难入得了多数人的耳,但现在貌似这人的意见就比较主流了。

        看有关介绍,Mearsheimer在2003,2004时准确预测俄罗斯对北约东扩而引发对乌克兰战争,与反恐战争将在战略上陷入泥潭的未来。目前中美紧张局势中他的观点就很有代表性并引人注目了。

        有意思的是他自己演讲中说曾经花了很多时间到访中国,这些年在中国进行过不下二,三十此的演讲,而且在地缘战略上与中国人很有共同语言,听他演讲感觉他抱持美国战狼型观点,那么倒也不意外😄。

    • 家园 如何掠夺一个国家

      看到了一篇文章说美国利益集团是如何控制乌克兰的,放在这里,提醒某些人提防带路党。

      华盛顿对俄罗斯的“冻结”战

      其中提到:

      Ukraine has some of the largest shale gas reserves in Europe. Like other Europeans, Ukrainians had demonstrated against the harmful environmental results of fracking on their lands, but unlike some other countries, Ukraine has no restrictive legislation. Chevron is already getting involved.

      As of last May, R. Hunter Biden, son of the U.S. Vice President, is on the Board of Directors of Burisma Holdings, Ukraine’s largest private gas producer. The young Biden will be in charge of the Holdings’ legal unit and contribute to its “international expansion”.

      Ukraine has rich soil as well as shale oil reserves. The U.S. agribusiness giant Cargill is particularly active in Ukraine, investing in grain elevators, animal feed, a major egg producer and agribusiness firm, UkrLandFarming, as well as the Black Sea port at Novorossiysk.

      On December 2, President Poroshenko swore in three foreigners as cabinet ministers: an American, a Lithuanian and a Georgian. He granted them Ukrainian citizenship a few minutes before the ceremony.

      U.S. born Natalie Jaresko is Ukraine’s new Finance Minister. With a Ukrainian family background and degrees from Harvard and DePaul universities, Jaresko went from the State Department to Kiev when Ukraine gained independence from the Soviet

      foolsjohnstoneUnion, in order to head the economic department of the newly opened U.S. embassy. Three years later she left the U.S. Embassy to head the U.S. government-financed Western NIS Enterprise Fund. In 2004 she established her own equity fund. As a supporter of the 2004 Orange Revolution, she served on “Orange” victor President Viktor Yushchenko’s Foreign Investors Advisory Council.

      The new Health Minister, Aleksandr Kvitashvili from Georgia, is U.S.-educated and does not speak Ukrainian. He had served as health minister in his native Georgia, when U.S. puppet Mikheil Saakashvili was President.

      The U.S. grip on Ukraine’s economy is now complete. The stage is set to begin fracking, perhaps transforming Hunter Biden into Ukraine’s newest oligarch.

    • 家园 对香港乱局不一样的西方视角

      香港“民主”运动

      Andre Vltchek的文章很有特色。长,但是一般写得很好。

      I asked at both protest sites about brutality of British colonialism. I received no reply. Then I noticed quotes by Winston Churchill, a self-proclaimed racist and a man who never bothered to hide his spite for non-white, non-Western people. But here, Churchill was considered to be one of the champions of democracy; his quotes glued to countless walls.

      The Hong Kong protest movement reeks of upper middle class bourgeois consciousness, including its cloying cheap sentimentality and unexamined worshipping of Western “heroes”, like Churchill.

      Lacking ideology and political awareness, and for decades being bombarded with Western anti-Communist and anti-socialist propaganda, protesters simply blame Beijing for everything, even for what they should be blaming its own extreme capitalist system.

      ‘A Rolex revolution’, I thought.

      The mood on those protest sites was truly sordid; nothing grand, nothing optimistic, nothing really ‘revolutionary’.

      • 家园 看完了 感觉一般

        就是一个不喜欢西方的俄裔美国人对此事发的牢骚。主要笔墨放在他的感受上了。一点理性客观的分析也没有。通篇的“恶心”、“憎恶”、“廉价”、“无知”。。。就是最后说了一句“需要重新考虑它自己的体制”就没了。末尾和维基上都说他是小说家(和其它一些头衔),看来他文章的风格和这个称呼还是相符合的。

        虽然感觉他的屁股位置还算端正,但是这篇文章的意义是十分有限的。

    • 家园 话语霸权本质

      来源于对这个世界的解释权,什么时候中国有了对这个世界的解释权,华夏才会复兴

    • 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。

    • 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。

      那时乌东部平民被集体屠杀的事情被捅出来后,恰好在西西河看到“世界基本和平、美国情势大好”这样的论调,差点没有把滑鼠拍烂。

      战争贩子是要被历史清算的。

      通宝推:凡心,唵啊吽,桥上,
      • 家园 美英的离陆平衡战略是他们所处岛国和新大陆国家

        所能选取的最优选择,因为欧洲大陆/欧亚非大陆上的国家和文明一旦统一或整合,像英国这样的岛国和像美国这样的远离欧亚非大陆的新大陆文明则必然受到威胁,甚至是致命威胁,这不是以他们和我们意志为转移的。大家可以认为中国爱好和平,致力于发展经济,不会和美国产生冲突,但是就经济层面来讲,一个整合过的亚洲所能爆发出来的生产力和能够利用的智力资源会远远地把孤悬海外的美国给甩出八条大街之外去,而经济基础决定上层建筑,一旦经济上被淘汰,整个盎格鲁萨克逊统治集团被清算也就为时不远了。就算我们不去和美国硬杠,致力于整合亚洲,美国人的日子也会相当难过。亚洲如此,欧洲如此,前苏东集团国家亦是如此,所以美国为了自己的利益,必然会向这几个地方下蛆。

        我把美英的离陆平衡战略称为“彼岸幽灵”,这是一个根本就摆脱不了的东西,只要你自己成为美国人,站到美国人的角度上分析自己的战略优势,战略困境和战略选择,就必然会选择这种离陆平衡战略,用各种明的暗的,上台面不上台面,各种光明与丑恶的手段去破坏大陆国家。

        大家可以骂美国战争贩子,而我却更愿意用更理性更客观的角度看美国美国人和美国的国家战略。但是我越理解美国美国人和美国的国家战略,我就越同意把美国拆成七八十块,只有一个支离破碎的美国,才有欧亚非大陆的整合与安定。

    • 家园 不如让我们直接把所有的钱都交给附近的亿万富翁

      http://www.counterpunch.org/2014/10/03/itd-be-simpler-if-we-just-gave-all-our-money-to-the-nearest-billionaire/

      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。
