Amusing Ourselves to Death经典读后感有感

  《Amusing Ourselves to Death》是一本由Neil Postman著作,Penguin Books出版的Paperback图书,本书定价:USD 14.00,页数:192,特精心从网络上整理的一些读者的读后感,希望对大家能有帮助。

  《Amusing Ourselves to Death》精选点评:

  ●激进,颠三倒四,夸张。他说的场景再过50年才会发生,事实就是新闻有背景音乐不等同于它被娱乐化了;也不知道是哪里的新闻45s讲完一条,更何况continuity可以通过每天的跟进进行。作者一开头就搬出了Huxley和Orwell两座反乌托邦的大山,让人觉得只要一反驳他就是美丽新世界中愚蠢嗑药的人。必须要承认确实这个世界在往那个方向发展,但不能因此否认它的优势与长处,或许是因为我没有看完,作者批判了电视照片电报后,是要大家集体回到中世纪嘛。观点虽然烂,结构很好,前面metaphor写得很intriguing。

  ●反省了一下,发现哪怕我已经放弃看电视好久,但也摆脱不了娱乐时代的烙印,因为所有观念都是不连贯的碎片式。这很可怕。比如看个书吧,更愿意好几本掺着来,一本看一段看烦换下一本的另一段,其间思路被自我阻截N次,谈什么思考。说到底和看微博看电视没什么不同,都很消遣

  ●忍不了了。

  ●What we love will ruin us,what is the next media?(i cannot find the CN version)

  ●无论是什么媒介 失去思考的能力是最可怕的。娱乐至死的年代 舞台上演什么 过目即忘。

  ●推荐,虽然并不完全认同它说的观点

  ●很有启发,只是废话有点多==

  ●捡到宝了,称得上是本年度读到的最佳作品!

  ●先读1984和美丽新世界,然后才能读这本书。

  ●Postman基于McLuhan的“媒介即讯息”的理论提出“媒介即隐喻”、“媒介即认识论”阐述“娱乐至死的社会”。每种媒介对于文化精神中心和物质中心的形成都有决定性影响,从口语到铅字的媒介转换是智力进步,但是,从铅字“阐释时代”到电视的第二次媒介“娱乐业时代”转换却是智力灾难,因为“真理不能毫无修饰的存在,它必须穿着合适的外衣才能得到承认”,“真理本来就是一种文化偏见”,在印刷媒介占绝对权威的学术领域,来自口语场景的信息就无法作为支撑个人观点的论据。电视新闻、政治、宗教、教育均为碎片化信息,观者不需要阐释思考记忆,人们有一种大量获得信息的错觉,但事实是失去判别有效信息的能力。媒介社会的最大问题不在于电视为人们提供娱乐性的内容,而是所有的内容都以娱乐形式表现出来。cf”赫胥黎的警告“

  《Amusing Ourselves to Death》读后感(一):我们正在娱乐至死

  再值得思考的社会事件变成红极一时的网络流行语后就再也没人追究了。大家笑过乐过共享过之后就忘记了。我们更关心北韩炮战五都选举又有多少人记得青海玉树的乡亲怎么过冬呢?终极稳定被互联网和新媒体轻而易举的实现了。

  《Amusing Ourselves to Death》读后感(二):In light of 如今埃及的政变

  又想起来这本书了,the world nowadays is more interconnected than ever imagined possible before

  谁说世界另外一个角落的新闻跟自己就完全无关就完全是娱乐了呢,

  ocial media被认为是埃及政变的一个contributing force让人们意识到对比之下自己的生活不够好,然后就会do sth about it 了嘛。

  不知道是不是我又confirmation bias了,只看证实自己原本想法的证据。这个事件就是典型的new technology pushes for social change呀。。。。

  At the beginning it must be hard to imagine what STH totally new can do to our lives. There is really no need to fear for it, to resist the new ways, to cling to the old, and watch the new era of life passes us by.

  《Amusing Ourselves to Death》读后感(三):关于认识论

  ostman 不是在批评娱乐文化,而是在批评电视媒体隐含的认识论。这种批判是很有力的:电视节目没有办法被改善 - Postman已经将它宣判了死刑。

  几个段落可以说明这一论点:

  quot;What I am claiming here is not that television is entertaining but that it has made entertainment itself the natural format for the representation of all experience...the problem is not taht television presents us with entertaining subject matter but that all subject matter is presented as entertaining..."

  quot;Neither do I put much stock in proposals to improve the quality of television programs. Television, as I have implied earlier, serves us most usefully when presenting junk-entertainment; it serves us most ill when it co-opts serious modes of discourse - news, politic, science, education, commerce, religion - and turns them into entertainment packages. We would all be better off if television got worse, not better."

  quot;The problem, in any case, does not reside in what people watch. The problem is in that we watch."

  quot;what afflicted the people in Brave New World was not that they were laughing instead of thinking, but that they did not know what they were laughing about and why they had stopped thinking."

  《Amusing Ourselves to Death》读后感(四):深刻又有趣的一本小书-结合The shallows一起读更是有意思

  这是一本老书了。

  排除作者当时的局限(比如对计算机的不屑 or am I talking under the influence of the internet/information age already?)作者的很多观点跟Nicholas Carr的the shallows是非常类似。

  也许每个新科技诞生都伴随了怀有Loyal old time thinking 的那些人的痛苦反思?

  作者预言的很多现象都已经发生了,人们的attention spam更短了,有了internet,frequent interruption, frequent distraction又重新上升到了前所未有的程度。不过人们也已经习以为常了。

  这本书的文字有着那个时代的特点,kinda similarly verbose to "how to read a book", and has a quaint feeling to it. It's not a relaxing read, but it gives one a peculiar sense of enjoyment when reading it with classic music playing (yikes, entertainment again!) with warm fire in the winter time...but I digress.

  我想人们不可能抵制科技和时代的进步。当written language 被广泛传播代替口头表达的时候,当时的人们也感叹“记忆”这项能力给损失掉了。但是获得的自然是更加广泛的传播知识,信息,技能等等。

  当电报被发明,无意义的新闻被当作新奇的事物传播和消费,人们失去了背景思考和对所听见的事物做出反应的能力。但是我觉得,现在的人们学习新事物,有前所未有的联想能力,从广泛接触里面产生mash up的能力,显然是增加了。不觉得一定是坏事。(再次离题一下,在TED talks 里面TED曾经说过,这个时代video影像能传播到世界的各个角落,带来的好处和产生的效果是在其普及之前非常难想到的。比如他举了一个例子说,地球一个角落的年轻人录制了自己跳舞的 刺激了人们学习和提高的欲望,地球另外一个角落的年轻人看见了,模仿了,并且试图超越之,这样飞快的,大家都在one-up-manship 里面,共同提高飞跃了。比如前阵子看见a 4 yr-old跳舞,居然也有手放在裆部这样的“主流”动作。另外在youtube上还看见俺学校一个学生(应该是韩国后裔)学着韩国某偶像band跳舞的录像,其实真的还满象那么回事的!我自己是喜欢做蛋糕,大约10年之前的书,杂志和照片还都非常有限,会做的人不多。如今只要想学,绝对没有学不会的道理,电视,网络帮助了这些信息技能的传播。在现代化的传播手段真正流行起来之前,谁又能想到这些技术可以这样来用呢?

  这点就好像NNT所说的,在新的发明被发明出来之前人们是无法预测未来的。所以人们根本就是无法预测未来的。

  我想我并不象这位作者,和nicholas Carr那样悲观。

  Yes, we lose some, and we gain some。至于是损失更大还是收获更大,绝对的还是看自己的应用。

  比如Carr说的eReader比如kindle offers too many distractions to read a book in its entirety. 但是例子似乎是一个新拿到kindle的人吧?用熟悉了之后我不觉得每个人都会去flip this and that。Actually one advantage Kindle has over the other fancy tech stuff is its simplicity and difficulty in accessing web/games and other distractions.

  efore the internet it would be hard to find a book that suits one's taste, and one's "consumption" of books largely depends on what others consume. There a '"mass media" effect.

  owadays, well the mass is still there yet we are increasingly allow to delve more and more into one's very own niche.

  惭愧的说我本人使劲读书时间的时间才不到两年,but I was able to search and find a lot of good books that gave me deeper contemplation as well as enjoyment. 如果愿意,人还是可以,有能力cut out distractions and focus on the "now", the current task at hand, as long as one really wants to.

  我想,在科技这个问题上,我持绝对乐观的态度。我不认为TV age and then the later internet age 里面长大的小孩比我们这些老一辈的人要Inferior. Each generation has their own unique features.

  Embrace change with grace. Retain what we hold as essential to our being and existence. And enjoy the ride. Seriously.
