Abstract
Since its telecast on Edward R. Murrow's documentary series See It Now, “The Case of Milo Radulovich” has been seen as “symbolizing” the problems of McCarthyism. This essay questions “how” the text “comes to stand” for the victims of McCarthyism and argues that the appeal of the program may be traced to the set of representations at its center. This essay suggests one way a documentary text finds persuasive appeal via the particular case.
自从在爱德华·r·默罗(Edward R. Murrow)的纪录片系列节目《现在就看》(See It Now)上播出以来,《米洛·拉杜洛维奇一案》就被视为麦卡锡主义问题的“象征”。本文质疑文本“如何”“代表”麦卡锡主义的受害者,并认为该计划的吸引力可以追溯到其中心的一系列表现。本文提出了纪录片文本通过特定案例找到有说服力的吸引力的一种方式。
