Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business

《娱乐至死》里，波兹曼指出，一切公众话语日渐以娱乐的方式出现，并成为一种文化精神。我们的政治、宗教、新闻、体育、教育和商业都心甘情愿地成为娱乐的附庸，毫无怨言，甚至无声无息，其结果是我们成了一个娱乐至死的物种。这是一份精彩、有力、重要且难以辩驳的控诉书。在《童年的消逝》里，波兹曼运用他对心理学、历史学、语义学和麦克卢汉学说的深刻见解以及常识，非常有说服力地阐述了一个触目惊心而且颇具独创的论题，即童年的诞生，是因为新的印刷媒介在儿童和成人之间强加了一些分界线，而在电视之类媒体的猛烈攻击下分界线变得越来越模糊，成人的性秘密和暴力问题转变为娱乐，新闻和广告定位在10岁孩子的智力水平。这也是一份内容翔实、令人震惊的警世书。乔治·奥威尔曾在《一九八四年》中预占人们将会遭受外来压迫的奴役，失去自由，我们的文化成为受制文化，赫肯黎则在《美丽新世界》中表达了另外一种忧虑，人们会渐渐爱上压迫，崇拜那些使他们丧失思考能力的工业技术。作为新闻与传播学被广泛参阅和引用的经典，《娱乐至死》与《童年的消逝》想告诉人家的是，可能成为现实的，是赫胥黎的预言，而不是奥威尔的预言；毁掉我们的，不是我们所憎恨的东西，而恰恰是我们所热爱的东西！Originally published in 1985, Neil Postman�s groundbreaking polemic about the corrosive effects of television on our politics and public discourse has been hailed as a twenty-first-century book published in the twentieth century. Now, with television joined by more sophisticated electronic media�from the Internet to cell phones to DVDs�it has taken on even greater significance. Amusing Ourselves to Death is a prophetic look at what happens when politics, journalism, education, and even religion become subject to the demands of entertainment. It is also a blueprint for regaining controlof our media, so that they can serve our highest goals.点击链接进入中文版： 娱乐至死:童年的消逝
