The Seventh Function of Language pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2024
From the prizewinning author of HHhH, “the most insolent novel of the year” (L’Express) is a romp through the French intelligentsia of the twentieth century.
Paris, 1980. The literary critic Roland Barthes dies—struck by a laundry van—after lunch with the presidential candidate François Mitterand. The world of letters mourns a tragic accident. But what if it wasn’t an accident at all? What if Barthes was . . . murdered?
In The Seventh Function of Language, Laurent Binet spins a madcap secret history of the French intelligentsia, starring such luminaries as Jacques Derrida, Umberto Eco, Gilles Deleuze, Michel Foucault, Judith Butler, and Julia Kristeva—as well as the hapless police detective Jacques Bayard, whose new case will plunge him into the depths of literary theory (starting with the French version of Roland Barthes for Dummies). Soon Bayard finds himself in search of a lost manuscript by the linguist Roman Jakobson on the mysterious “seventh function of language.”
A brilliantly erudite comedy with more than a dash of The Da Vinci Code—The Seventh Function of Language takes us from the cafés of Saint-Germain to the corridors of Cornell University, and into the duels and orgies of the Logos Club, a secret philosophical society that dates to the Roman Empire. Binet has written both a send-up and a wildly exuberant celebration of the French intellectual tradition.
Laurent Binet was born in Paris, France, in 1972. He is the author of La Vie professionnelle de Laurent B., a memoir of his experience teaching in secondary schools in Paris. In March 2010, his debut novel, HHhH, won the Prix Goncourt du Premier Roman. Laurent Binet is a professor at the University of Paris III, where he lectures on French literature.
Sam Taylor has written for The Guardian, Financial Times, Vogue and Esquire, and has translated such works as the award-winning HHhH by Laurent Binet, and the internationally-bestselling The Truth about the Harry Quebert Affair by Joël Dicker.
很有我想象中的欧陆人文学科幻想小说的气质,因为我觉得搞这些学问的人做梦都希望自己的专业也能有些类似物理学核平地球、生物学僵尸病毒这一级别的超级武器。语言学(及其相关学科)的超级武器是什么呢?魔法!然而作者算是十分克制的了,不是真的魔法,是魔法般的说服力(作为对比,《Y先生的结局》就是完全的魔幻小说了)。然而也许正是因为太克制了,略有虎头蛇尾之感。另,书里一段据说是复述德里达的论述很有意思,可以改一改拿来证明“人类的本质是复读机”。
评分学术类小说,不少in-joke,读起来也很过瘾,只是结构与节奏有些欠妥。不过话说回来,要想读结构+情节完美的作品,也只有P.G.Wodehouse了,可后者不适合满足知识分子的虚荣心啊,哈哈。
评分我觉得我要了解很多哲学家的理论才能理解里面的一些梗然后fully appreciate这本书的乐趣..单论情节还是很有意思的,Simon怀疑自己是不是书中人这个很可能cliched的桥段,作者最后resolve的我觉得也还行,构建了一个paradox, where it discusses 作家到底是跟着文字的走向simply write it down还是actively changing the story he tells的问题。The seventh function的解释也还算reasonable,两个主角追了一路错的人这个设计也很有美感。像莫名其妙的日本人插手这一点,我觉得可能是作者本人对自己一点调侃,笑自己设置一个没有动机的奇怪人物来当主角的guardian angel吧
评分读到无心工作。专心致志地游戏,利用俗套又嘲弄俗套,将好莱坞狗血与法国精英理论等而视之,杂耍球似地抛弄。似乎轻微厌女又或者表演phallogocentrism过了头,异域风味艳情戏略显多余。作者很喜欢将两种register的对话并致进行,和包法利夫人眉来眼去。
