危機感不是台灣人的專利。現在每天你都會聽到世界如何受到各種政治,經濟,和生態危機的威脅,好像人纇文明明天就要解體。我們能怎麼辦呢? 美國作家 Michael Ventura 對現代西方社會有深層的思考。他在洛杉磯暴動後的反思是我看過所有評論中最深刻也是最平易的。他的結論對我們這世界一角仍有參考價值: "... My suspicion is that we must be
more and more ready to find our lives at the limits of this society's conceptions. Our solutions won't come from the center and won't be condoned by the center, because the center (government, business, even what passes for culture) is in a state of perpetual riot called "history," a set of preconceptions about what "order" and "prosperity" mean that seem to be systematically destroying the well-being of all of us. The change may be in what we most fear. Metaphorically, if you like, it's not about how you stop the riot, it's about how you join the riot. Because we're all already in an enormous riot, one that, for the present, seems unstoppable. " 在他的早期文集裡,他把現代生活比喻成午夜狂舞:音樂震耳欲聾,DJ 任性揮灑,你在黑暗的舞廳裡不管周圍人慾橫流,只想把握當下用力狂舞,隨著音樂見招拆招。白日的禮法規章都靠邊站,只有 rhythm 才是王道。 (不過可別踩到在你身旁的辣妹) 可不是嗎? |
