书籍介绍
当纳粹将“不留任何痕迹”奉为纲领——焚尸、扬灰、抹除档案,大屠杀的核心机制正是让受害者连同目击本身一同消失。迪迪-于贝尔曼此书的重心,正在于直面这种“不可见”的暴政:奥斯维辛 Sonderkommando 成员在灭绝营旁偷拍的四张残片,为何成为对抗遗忘的证物?作者拒绝将“不可想象”“不可言说”当作回避的借口,反而主张:图像越是显得不可想象,我们越要不顾一切地从中抢救零星幸存,把“使之可想象”当作一种永未完成的政治任务。书中阿伦特、本雅明、福柯、布洛克的观点被反复调用,也令部分读者感到被“哲学家”压着走。它适合那些不愿让大屠杀退化为抽象道德符号、希望从视觉与记忆的张力中重新思考见证之责的读者。

精彩摘录
  • "If a Jewisch member of the Resistance in London,working as such in supposedly well-informed circles, can admit that at the time he was in capable of imagining Auschwitz or Treblinka, what can be said of the world? In Hannad Arendt's analysis, the Nazis "were totally convinced that one of the greates"
  • "To murder was not nearly enough, because the dead were never sufficiently "obliterated" in the eyes of the "Final Solution.'' Well beyond the privation of a grave (the greatest insult to the dead in antiquity), the Nazis concentrated, rationally or irrationally, on "leaving no single trace.'' and on"
  • "It was with the tools of obliteration that archives- the memory of the obliteration-had to be obliterated. It was a way of keeping the obliteration forever in its unimaginable condition."
  • "A single look at this remnant of images, or erratic corpus of images in spite of all, is enough to sense that Auschwitz can no longer bespoken of in those absolute terms - generally well intentioned, apparently philosophical, but actually lazy - "unsayable" and "unimaginable:' The four photographs t"
  • "We must do with the image what we already do more easily (Foucault has helped us here) with language. ... An image often appears where a word seems to fail; a word often appears where the imagination seems to fail. The "truth" of Auschwitz, if this expression has any meaning, is neither more nor les"
  • "Do the two poor images framed by the door of the gas chamber, at crematorium V of Auschwitz in August 1944, not suffice to refute that negative aesthetic? Furthermore, how could an image act of that kind be prescribed or even interpreted by any thought, however just, on the exercise of art? "There i"
  • "To engage here the image of man is to make of Auschwitz a fun damental problem henceforth for anthropology: Auschwitz is inseparable from us, writes Bataille. There is no question, of course, of confusing the victims with their executioners. But this evidence must be considered with the anthropologi"

史学与美学相互修正 视觉人类学方法论应用楷模
真是得罪谁都不能得罪哲学家,动不动就写一本书把你骂的万劫不复
[ ] obliteration [ ] to abruptly attend our own absence [ ] imagination as a political faculty [ ]
迪迪–于贝尔曼的良心:反对一切不可想象之物。奥斯维辛绝非不可想象之物。它越是显得不可想象,我们越是要从中不顾一切地(in spite of all)抢救出零星幸存的图像,将使之可想象当作某种无限的“任务”(本雅明意义上的Aufgabe),就像Sonderkommando的那个匿名成员所做的那样。为什么?为什么奥斯维辛不能是不可想象的?因为奥斯维辛与其说是什么非人道的灾难,毋宁说就是属于人类的事件:“不仅我们是刽子手的潜在受害者,而且刽子手就是我们的同伴。”
