In the popular misconception fostered by blockbuster action movies and best-selling thrillers - not to mention conventional explanations by social scientists - violence is easy under certain conditions, like poverty, racial or ideological hatreds, or family pathologies. Randall Collins challenges this view in Violence, arguing that violent confrontation goes against human physiological hardwiring. It is the exception, not the rule - regardless of the underlying conditions or motivations. Collins gives a comprehensive explanation of violence and its dynamics, drawing upon video footage, cutting-edge forensics, and ethnography to examine violent situations up close as they actually happen - and his conclusions will surprise you. Violence comes neither easily nor automatically. Antagonists are by nature tense and fearful, and their confrontational anxieties put up a powerful emotional barrier against violence. Collins guides readers into the very real and disturbing worlds of human discord - from domestic abuse and schoolyard bullying to muggings, violent sports, and armed conflicts. He reveals how the fog of war pervades all violent encounters, limiting people mostly to bluster and bluff, and making violence, when it does occur, largely incompetent, often injuring someone other than its intended target. Collins shows how violence can be triggered only when pathways around this emotional barrier are presented. He explains why violence typically comes in the form of atrocities against the weak, ritualized exhibitions before audiences, or clandestine acts of terrorism and murder - and why a small number of individuals are competent at violence. Violence overturns standard views about the root causes of violence and offers solutions for confronting it in the future.

读这本书里得到的几个感受: 1,“战争”是人类历史上发生过的所有事情当中最丑陋的事情;正因为如此,很多关于战争的故事和描述,都是谎言,这很难有客观的描述;而且,一旦知道了战争有多门丑陋,对于在网上各种叫嚣“中日开战、海峡开战或中美开战”之类的愤青们,就多了一...
评分与在读的《存在主义心理治疗》清晰的总分总结构不同,Violence更像是颇具《自杀论》风格的博士论文:循着话题滑向离题边缘、融合痕迹明显的引用、肢解般的细致分析、浓浓的“组卷”感——不堪再通读的吃力与不忍释卷的启发并存。 读完最深刻的当属它的中心论点:只有暴力的情境...
评分 评分书很好,翻译也还不错,稍作记录。 p6,ethnomethodology一般翻译为常人方法学或俗民方法论,民族志方法学这个翻译似乎容易跟民族志方法(ethnography)混淆。 p10,“所有类型的暴力都符合寥寥几种模式,那就是当人们面对敌对暴力时,如何控制紧张和恐惧的边界。”这句话不...
