不要溫和地走進那方異境 讓生活撐開以惡與暴烈 讓生命脹大以時空的薄膜 有時，毀滅反而 成為詩意與哲學再生的契機 「我將向黑暗裏彷徨於無地。」──魯迅《影的告別》如是說。 繼《異托邦指南／閱讀卷：魅與祛魅》後，廖偉棠新作《異托邦指南／電影卷：影的告白》，入影入戲！ 如果影會告白，它將向你描述何謂「無地」。廖偉棠以詩人特有的視角，挖掘潛藏在影像聲光背後那些難以描述、讓觀者耿耿於懷的神祕領域，在最豐厚的溫柔上，細緻、銳利地述說電影的暗面，刻畫你我都熟悉的影與人。 《異托邦指南／電影卷：影的告白》分為三輯，第一輯放眼西方與東洋，以幽暗曖昧的科幻宇宙為起點，逐漸聚焦在人間的生與死、故鄉與遠行的永恆主題，探求靈魂深處最原初的意義，讓我們在《地心引力》的幽冥太空遙望過去與未來，跟著少年Pi一同漂流。 第二輯將眼光拉近，凝視中國風起雲湧的人世，娓娓道來激盪其中的愛與憎，看張藝謀、陳凱歌、賈樟柯等人影像中的河山。 到了第三輯，我們得以一窺最廖偉棠最近身的場域，描繪香港、台灣的觀影風貌，談《艋舺》的在地經驗、談張國榮與梅艷芳、談周星馳，也談詩人周夢蝶，藉由聲光色彩的迷離，書寫明明踏實生活其中卻始終如異邦的疏離。 無論是借古諷今、借影說光、借刀殺人，這一張觀影地圖都試圖在銀幕世界之上創造一個平行宇宙，讓你在演員謝幕之後開始一場新的文字冒險之旅。 ※...

Emotion takes place. Rather than an interior state of mind in response to the outside world, emotion per se is spatial, at turns embedding us from without, transporting us somewhere else, or putting us ahead of ourselves. In this book, Ling Hon Lam gives a deeply original account of the history of...

Mythologized as the era of the “good war” and the “Greatest Generation,” the 1940s are frequently understood as a more heroic, uncomplicated time in American history. Yet just below the surface, a sense of dread, alienation, and the haunting specter of radical evil permeated American art and...
