內容簡介
桑塔格成名作 文藝批判一代經典
問世五十週年紀念版
  在一個充斥著假象的世界裡,在真理扭曲的時代中,美國最重要的知識分子蘇珊‧桑塔格仍保有冷靜的真知灼見,致力維護自由思想的尊嚴與風格!
  本書首度發行於一九六六年,是蘇珊‧桑塔格第一本論述文集,並因此書奠定她美國「當今目光最敏銳論文家」之崇高地位。桑塔格在作品中反對各式各樣的作品詮釋,嚴格批評冠上社會學、心理學等各種理論的文學詮釋,強調回歸感官閱讀、讀者真實感受。直到今日,桑塔格的批判方法業已成為西方文學評論經典範式。
  這部作品收集了桑塔格於六年代發表的多篇著名論述,其中多篇文章堪稱當代經典,影響許多人對藝術和文化的思考及態度,集中體現了「新知識分子」、「反詮釋」與以「新感受力」重估整個文學、藝術的革命性姿態,包括最廣為人知的〈論「坎普」札記〉(美國新聞學會選為二十世紀百篇最重要文獻之一)、〈反詮釋〉,亦有對沙特、卡繆、李維史陀等作家,對布列松、高達、雷奈等電影大師,以及當代宗教思想、精神分析等具啟發性的分析。最後並收錄一九九六年西班牙譯文再版時,桑塔格為自己所帶來的「文化旋風」現象特別為讀者撰寫的後記:〈三十年之後〉。
  桑塔格「反詮釋」之號角,吹響在大眾文化與前衛藝術基礎之上。理論的生命力,不僅在於理論本身的鮮明與響亮,更在於該理論有著現實的根基,捕捉到文化潮流的氣味,並能做出精確描述與測度。

  A series of provocative discussions on everything from individual authors to contemporary religious thinking, Against Interpretation and Other Essays is the definitive collection of Susan Sontag’s best known and important works published in Penguin Modern Classics.
  Against Interpretation was Susan Sontag’s first collection of essays and made her name as one of the most incisive thinkers of our time. Sontag was among the first critics to write about the intersection between ’high’ and ’low’ art forms, and to give them equal value as valid topics, shown here in her epoch-making pieces ’Notes on Camp’ and ’Against Interpretation’. Here too are impassioned discussions of Sartre, Camus, Simone Weil, Godard, Beckett, Lévi-Strauss, science-fiction movies, psychoanalysis and contemporary religious thought. Originally published in 1966, this collection has never gone out of print and has been a major influence on generations of readers, and the field of cultural criticism, ever since.
  Susan Sontag (1933-2004) was born in Manhattan and studied at the universities of Chicago, Harvard and Oxford. She is the author of four novels - The Benefactor, Death Kit, The Volcano Lover and In America, which won the 2000 US National Book Award for fiction - a collection of stories, several plays, and six books of essays, among them Illness as Metaphor and AIDS and Its Metaphors. Her books are translated into thirty-two languages. In 2001 she was awarded the Jerusalem Prize for the body of her work, and in 2003 she received the Prince of Asturias Prize for Literature and the Peace Prize of the German Book Trade.
