图书描述

Conscripts of Modernity points the way toward a rethinking of the present postcolonial moment. David Scott argues that if scholars of modernity and postcolonialism want to alter understandings of the stalled and disillusioned present - and thereby offer new prospects for the future - they must reconceive the relation of the past to the present. He asserts that anticolonial stories have typically assumed a distinctive narrative form: that of romance. Usually narratives of overcoming and vindication, of salvation and redemption, these stories largely depend on a certain utopian horizon toward which the emancipationist history is imagined to be moving. Scott suggests that as a mode of narrating the colonial past in relation to the postcolonial present and future, tragedy provides a more useful narrative framework than romance does. In tragedy, the future does not appear as part of a seamless forward movement, but instead as a slow and sometimes reversible series of ups and downs. Scott explores the political and epistemological implications of the narrative relation between the past and future through a reconsideration of C. L. R. James's masterpiece of anticolonial history, The Black Jacobins, first published in 1938. In that book, the story of Toussaint Louverture and the making of the Haitian Revolution is told as one of romantic vindication. As Scott points out, part of what makes The Black Jacobins a work of enormous historical and political interest is the fact that in the second edition, published in the United States in 1963, James inserted new material suggesting that that story might usefully be told as tragedy. Scott uses this shift in James's story to compare the relative yields of romance and tragedy in telling the story of the passage from the colonial past to the postcolonial future.

四年以前在芝大上Patchen Markell的阿伦特的课的时候读的。这本书潜在地利用了阿伦特政治哲学的一个视角：阿伦特一方面区分了政治行动跟暴力，她认为暴力本质上是非政治的，但是阿伦特同时认为，人的政治行动跟暴力之间的界限往往是模糊的。她欣赏人们在政治行动中所表现出的自发性和创造性，但同时也警惕经常会发生的政治与暴力之间的越界。这实际上也是阿伦特对法国大革命和二十世纪的社会主义运动的一种独特的回应：她没有像哈耶克和施特劳斯那样在保守主义的方向上走得那么远，她不否定政治行动可能的创造性，但是她同时采用一种悲剧视角来看待革命所可能蕴含的暴力倾向：这种悲剧视角就是，你必须意识到人的局限性，意识到人不可能创造历史，但历史中的行动者们往往其实意识不到这一点，这就是暴力的根源。
