In the years immediately following World War II, America embraced modern architecture--not as something imported from Europe, but as an entirely new mode of operation, with original and captivating designs made in the USA. In Domesticity at War, Beatriz Colomina shows how postwar American architecture adapted the techniques and materials that were developed for military applications to domestic use. Just as manufacturers were turning wartime industry to peacetime productivity--going from missiles to washing machines--American architects and cultural institutions were, in Buckminster Fuller's words, turning "weaponry into livingry."This new form of domesticity itself turned out to be a powerful weapon. Images of American domestic bliss--suburban homes, manicured lawns, kitchen accessories--went around the world as an effective propaganda campaign. Cold War anxieties were masked by endlessly repeated images of a picture-perfect domestic environment. Even the popular conception of the architect became domesticated, changing from that of an austere modernist to a plaid-shirt wearing homebody.Colomina examines, with interlocking case studies and an army of images, the embattled and obsessive domesticity of postwar America. She reports on, among other things, MOMA's exhibition of a Dymaxion Deployment Unit (DDU), a corrugated steel house suitable for use as a bomb shelter, barracks, or housing; Charles and Ray Eames's vigorous domestic life and their idea of architecture as a flexible stage for the theatrical spectacle of everyday life; and the American lawn as patriotic site and inalienable right.Domesticity at War itself has a distinctive architecture. Housed within the case are two units: one book of text, and one book of illustrations--most of them in color, including advertisements, newspaper and magazine articles, architectural photographs, and more.

整体而言,这本书的结构设计非常巧妙,就像一个精密的钟表,每一个齿轮都在恰当的时机运转,最终导向一个令人震撼的高潮。情节的推进如同剥洋葱一般,层层递进,每一次揭示都带来新的震撼和对既有认知的颠覆。我尤其喜欢作者在处理悬念时所采用的“留白”技巧,既不过于直白地给出答案,也不会让读者感到困惑,恰到好处地维持了叙事的张力。读这本书的过程,就像是一场酣畅淋漓的解谜游戏,结局带来的满足感是久违的。我向所有喜欢结构精巧、内涵丰富的作品的读者强烈推荐此书。
评分这本书的叙事节奏把握得相当到位,引人入胜。作者巧妙地运用了双线叙事结构,将两条看似不相关的线索 interwoven 起来,直到最后才揭示出它们之间的深刻联系。这种布局使得读者在阅读过程中始终保持着强烈的求知欲,忍不住想要一探究竟。我尤其欣赏作者在描绘人物内心挣扎时的细腻笔触,那种彷徨、矛盾与坚韧交织的情感张力,读来令人感同身受。比如主角在面临重大抉择时的犹豫不决,那种心理活动的刻画入木三分,让我仿佛能切身感受到他肩上的重担。此外,书中对环境的描写也极具画面感,无论是静谧的乡村景象还是紧张的城市氛围,都被描摹得栩栩如生,为故事增添了丰富的层次感。整本书读下来,酣畅淋漓,仿佛经历了一场精神上的洗礼。
评分在人物塑造方面,这本书几乎达到了教科书级别的标准。每一个角色,即使是戏份不多的配角,都拥有清晰的动机和复杂的性格侧面,没有出现脸谱化的倾向。主角团成员之间的互动充满了张力与火花,他们的关系随着剧情发展而不断演变,时而紧密协作,时而产生龃龉,真实得让人信服。我尤其欣赏作者对女性角色的刻画,她们不再是依附于男性的符号,而是拥有独立思想和强大意志的个体,她们的成长线索非常饱满和鼓舞人心。这种对“人”的细致入微的描摹,是这本书最引人入胜的魅力之一。
评分从文学角度来看,这部作品的语言功力令人赞叹。作者的遣词造句独具匠心,常常能用非常精炼的语言表达出深刻的哲理或复杂的情感。书中不乏一些令人拍案叫绝的金句,它们不仅推动了情节发展,更引发了读者对人性、道德困境的深层思考。我注意到作者对隐喻和象征的运用非常娴熟,不同的物品、场景甚至天气,都似乎承载着更深层次的含义,为文本增添了丰富的解读空间。这种文本上的深度使得这本书不仅仅是一个简单的故事,更像是一部值得反复品味的文学艺术品。读完后,我花了很长时间回味那些精彩的段落,试图挖掘出其中更隐秘的线索和作者的深意。
评分这本书给我最深刻的印象是它对社会背景的深刻洞察。作者没有停留在表面的情节冲突,而是深入剖析了特定历史时期下,个体在宏大叙事面前的无力和抗争。书中对社会阶层、权力结构以及文化冲突的描绘,既有写实的残酷,又不乏对人性的光辉的肯定。我特别喜欢作者处理历史事件的手法,不是简单的事件罗列,而是通过小人物的视角去折射大时代的变迁,这种“见微知著”的处理方式,让历史变得鲜活而立体。它让我对那个时代有了更为复杂和多维的认识,远超出了教科书上的刻板印象。
评分The traditional domestic ideal of "peace and quiet" can only be produced by engaging the house in combat, as a weapon: counterdomesticity. 看到这个我笑了。美国人是真的很热爱military,万事皆可military。看得我还挺有感触的,战争真的是个很奇妙的机器,不管你愿不愿意,它真的不会在停战的一刻结束,并且确实会从方方面面不断继续影响着人和人构建环境的方式。咋说呢,还是希望世界和平吧。
