This article reviews an investigation into the case of Stanley Girch (aka Girėnas) and Stephen William Darius as (multi)transfigured and transforming heroes and seeks to examine a twofold assumption that has emerged in heroism science, namely that people create heroes mostly for the better and that learning from the past can help assess which heroes are needed. We argue that it may be beneficial to shift the focus of the analysis and follow the reverse course of a hero’s journey, tracing the impact, evolution and origin of the heroic status ascribed to the historical figures, whether individual or collective. Presuming that heroic status follows contextualization of actions, the developmental phases, techniques, and authorship of hero-making can be revealed through a reverse analysis of multi-layered contexts. The findings have led to the unsettling conclusion that the making of historical heroes hardly served the greater good and was quite removed from what was thought necessary. The same contradiction, however, may give an impulse for further development of heroism science as it prompts a broad-based, interdisciplinary assessment of the effectiveness of hero-making in the past, its present influence and projections for the future.
本文回顾了对Stanley Girch(又名Girėnas)和Stephen William Darius作为(多重)变形和转化英雄的案例的调查,并试图检验英雄主义科学中出现的双重假设,即人们创造英雄大多是为了更好,从过去的学习可以帮助评估哪些英雄是需要的。我们认为,将分析的焦点转移,沿着英雄旅程的反向路径,追溯历史人物(无论是个人还是集体)英雄地位的影响、演变和起源,可能是有益的。假设英雄地位遵循行动的情境化,那么英雄塑造的发展阶段、技巧和作者身份可以通过多层情境的反向分析来揭示。这些发现导致了一个令人不安的结论,即塑造历史英雄几乎没有为更大的利益服务,而且与人们认为必要的东西相去甚远。然而,同样的矛盾可能会推动英雄主义科学的进一步发展,因为它促使人们对过去英雄塑造的有效性、现在的影响和对未来的预测进行广泛的、跨学科的评估。

Self-Realization and Validity Surplus in Proactive Heroism 主动英雄主义的自我实现与效度剩余
Pub Date : 1900-01-01 DOI: 10.26736/HS.2019.02.03
Bryan Smyth
This article provides a brief outline of an approach to understanding proactive (or social) heroism in embodied terms, taking this as essential to supporting the idea of ‘the banality of heroism’. I first present an analysis of heroic action in general that shows it as involving self-realization through nonselfsacrificial existential necessity, and then show how in cases of reactive heroic action this necessity is best understood in predispositional embodied terms, such that the agent may be said to quite literally incarnate certain generally accepted norms of the intersubjective ethical context. I then briefly sketch out how this same kind of embodied necessity can be seen in proactive cases, albeit with the difference that here it has to do with realizing the ‘validity surplus’ of that ethical context, that is, with the expansion of the scope of application of its norms. Unlike the norms enacted in reactive cases, this expansion is initially not generally accepted, and in this way proactive heroism is conceptually tied to the idea of immanent social progress. By way of conclusion, I comment very briefly on how this relates to questions concerning the wider cultivation of heroism.
本文简要概述了从具体角度理解主动(或社交)英雄主义的方法,认为这是支持“英雄主义平庸性”观点的关键。我首先对英雄行为进行了分析,分析表明英雄行为通过非自我牺牲的存在必要性来实现自我,然后展示了如何在被动英雄行为的情况下,这种必要性最好地理解为倾向体现的术语,这样的行为者可以说是字面上体现了某些被普遍接受的主体间伦理背景规范。然后,我简要地概述了这种具体化的必要性是如何在积极主动的情况下被看到的,尽管这里的不同之处在于,它与实现道德背景的“有效性盈余”有关,也就是说,与扩展其规范的应用范围有关。与被动情况下制定的规范不同,这种扩张最初并不被普遍接受,因此,主动英雄主义在概念上与内在社会进步的想法联系在一起。作为结论,我简要地评论一下这与更广泛的英雄主义培养问题的关系。

John Wick: Keanu Reeves’s Epic Adventure 《约翰·维克》:基努·里维斯的史诗冒险
Pub Date : 1900-01-01 DOI: 10.26736/hs.2022.01.08

Three films create the John Wick universe and franchise: John Wick (2014), John Wick: Chapter 2 (2017), and John Wick: Chapter 3, Parabellum (2019). A fourth film is scheduled to be released in March 2023. All are wildly popular, and all are criticized for violence, particularly gun violence. I argue, however, that by examining the visual references that appear in all the films, it becomes clear that the films are defending themselves from such attacks through their allusions to ancient and classical epics from around the world. As Wick battles his way through museums and beautiful cities, the film reminds us that art, all art—fine and popular--relies on violence. Wick follows many of the traditions of the epic hero, and in the end, thanks to the visual cues in the films, he is no different than Achilles or Hector or even High Noon’s Will Kane. And if there is a hero, and if there is art, there will be blood.
《约翰·威克》的宇宙和系列由三部电影组成:《约翰·威克》(2014)、《约翰·威克2》(2017)和《约翰·威克3》(2019)。第四部计划于2023年3月上映。它们都广受欢迎,也都因暴力而受到批评,尤其是枪支暴力。然而,我认为,通过研究所有电影中出现的视觉参考,很明显,这些电影通过对来自世界各地的古代和古典史诗的典故来保护自己免受这种攻击。随着威克在博物馆和美丽的城市中奋力前行,这部电影提醒我们,所有的艺术——无论是精美的还是受欢迎的——都依赖于暴力。威克遵循了许多史诗英雄的传统,最后,由于电影中的视觉线索,他与阿喀琉斯或赫克托耳甚至正午的威尔凯恩没有什么不同。如果有英雄,如果有艺术,就会有鲜血。

Self-Directed Universalists: Social Heroes and Value-Oriented Challenges to Authority 自我导向的普遍主义者:社会英雄与价值导向的权威挑战
Pub Date : 1900-01-01 DOI: 10.26736/hs.2019.02.08
M. Condren
This study investigates the role of values in the actions of social heroes, which previous research has suggested may play a role in motivating principled challenges to authority. Kelman and Hamilton’s (1989) orientation to authority framework was used to identify when valueoriented challenges to authority – suggestive of later social heroism – first emerged in their lives, and the values associated with those behaviors. Analyses of archival interviews with 15 leaders of a social activist group found that all participants acted on a value orientation to authority, and they considered these actions to be important experiences in their development as social heroes. The values most associated with these actions were self-direction, universalism, power and achievement. Four participants made value-oriented challenges to authority in childhood; 14 by late adolescence; and all by young adulthood. The early emergence of this behavior suggests that a value orientation to authority is a core element of their identity, and value-oriented challenges to authority were critical experiences in their developmental trajectories as social heroes.
这项研究调查了价值观在社会英雄行为中的作用,之前的研究表明,价值观可能在激励对权威的原则性挑战中发挥作用。Kelman和Hamilton(1989)的权威取向框架被用来确定何时以价值为导向挑战权威——暗示后来的社会英雄主义——首次出现在他们的生活中,以及与这些行为相关的价值观。通过对15位社会活动团体领导人的档案访谈分析发现,所有参与者都有对权威的价值取向,他们认为这些行为是他们成长为社会英雄的重要经历。与这些行为最相关的价值观是自我指导、普世主义、权力和成就。四名参与者在童年时期对权威提出了价值取向的挑战;青春期晚期14岁;而且都是在青年时期。这种行为的早期出现表明,对权威的价值取向是他们身份认同的核心要素,而对权威的价值取向挑战是他们作为社会英雄发展轨迹中的关键经历。

Although less than a decade old, the nascent field of heroism science has enjoyed considerable growth in the form of publication output, a regular conference series, and a flagship journal. We briefly discuss the tradeoffs of heroism science’s paradigmatic multiplicity. Moreover, we offer several observations about the future direction of heroism science, with emphasis on bridging gaps with allied field, embracing cultural diversity, taking a more critical stance, building academic rigor, and developing better measures of heroism. We conclude with a call for the formation of an international professional organization and for the stronger academic legitimation of heroism science.
尽管还不到十年,英雄主义科学这一新生领域已经在出版物产出、定期会议系列和旗舰期刊等方面取得了长足的发展。我们简要地讨论了英雄主义科学的范式多样性的权衡。此外,我们对英雄主义科学的未来方向提出了一些看法,重点是弥合与相关领域的差距,拥抱文化多样性,采取更批判性的立场,建立学术严密性,以及开发更好的英雄主义衡量标准。最后,我们呼吁成立一个国际专业组织,并加强英雄主义科学的学术合法性。

There Goes My Antihero: How Wendy Byrde Broke Bad 《我的反英雄:温迪·伯德如何绝命毒师
Pub Date : 1900-01-01 DOI: 10.26736/hs.2022.01.05
M. Callens
Despite the increase of male antiheroes in popular culture, the number of female antiheroes is sparse, particularly when female characters are romantically involved with male antiheroes. There are several reasons for this disparity, partially which can be explained by affective disposition theory. First, female characters are rarely given agency and adequate backstories. Second, in order for female characters to be antiheroes, they typically must challenge gender role stereotypes, especially as they pertain to motherhood. Finally, they are often treated poorly by other characters in the series. All of these reasons have a profound effect on how audiences perceive female characters and whether or not they will accept morally ambiguous behavior from them. In Netflix’s Ozark, however, Wendy Byrde is different. This paper explores Wendy’s partnership with her husband and how it is established early in the series, thus contributing to Wendy’s agency. Because of the agency she is afforded, Wendy successfully challenges gender role stereotypes and achieves antihero status.
尽管流行文化中男性反英雄的角色越来越多,但女性反英雄的数量却很少,尤其是当女性角色与男性反英雄发生浪漫关系时。造成这种差异的原因有很多,其中一部分可以用情感倾向理论来解释。首先,女性角色很少被赋予代理权和足够的背景故事。其次,为了让女性角色成为反英雄角色,她们通常必须挑战性别角色的刻板印象,尤其是当她们与母亲有关时。最后,他们经常受到其他角色的虐待。所有这些原因都对观众如何看待女性角色,以及他们是否会接受女性角色道德模糊的行为产生了深远的影响。然而,在Netflix的《Ozark》中,温迪·伯德却与众不同。本文探讨了温蒂与丈夫的伙伴关系,以及这种关系在剧集早期是如何建立起来的,从而对温蒂的代理产生了影响。由于她被赋予的代理,温迪成功地挑战了性别角色的刻板印象,并获得了反英雄的地位。

On-Screen: The Silver, Small and Smartphone Screens of Heroism 银幕上的英雄主义:银色、小屏幕和智能手机屏幕

The representation of heroism on screens, and the ways we make sense of heroic imagery across them, is the theme of this special issue of Heroism Science. Each article makes the case that our comprehension of heroism can only be augmented and enhanced by the film, the television series, the video game, the news broadcast, the phone camera and the social media stream, all of them on screens that are silver, small and smart. The articles demonstrate how the screen’s ability to display, represent, convey, conjure and critique heroic moments. Moreover, this special issue shows how fictional heroism as a guiding principle has much in common with the guidance of the fictional utopia. We use both concepts as aspects to strive for socially, culturally, technologically, and diplomatically. Our understanding and our seeking the best possible course for humanity is aided and informed by the way we use fiction to metaphorically assess how that course can be undertaken.
英雄主义在银幕上的表现,以及我们如何理解银幕上的英雄形象,是本期《英雄主义科学》特刊的主题。每篇文章都表明,我们对英雄主义的理解只能通过电影、电视剧、电子游戏、新闻广播、手机摄像头和社交媒体流来增强和加强,所有这些都是在银色、小巧而智能的屏幕上进行的。这些文章展示了屏幕如何展示、表现、传达、召唤和批判英雄时刻的能力。此外,这期特刊还表明,小说中的英雄主义作为指导原则与小说中的乌托邦指导原则有许多共同之处。我们将这两个概念作为社会、文化、技术和外交方面的努力。我们对人类最好的道路的理解和寻求是通过我们用小说来隐喻性地评估如何进行这条道路的方式来帮助和指导的。

Curb Your Heroism: How Larry David, an Old, Bald Misanthrope, Won the Hearts of Millions 克制你的英雄主义:拉里·大卫,一个又老又秃的厌世者,如何赢得了数百万人的心
Pub Date : 1900-01-01 DOI: 10.26736/hs.2022.01.03

For eleven television seasons, viewers of the series Curb Your Enthusiasm have been witness to a main character in Larry David who paradoxically displays attributes that are both endearing and revolting. This article offers an analysis of Larry David’s character with the goal of ascertaining his heroic nature, specifically focusing on whether he best meets the scientific criteria for a hero or for an antihero. Drawing from the literature of heroism science, we examine a large body of evidence from episodes of the series supporting arguments for both heroism and antiheroism in Larry’s character. Consistent with definitions of heroism, Larry manifests deviance, humility, loyalty to principles, and a growth mindset. Yet consistent with antiheroism, Larry shows selfishness, social insensitivity, manipulativeness, and resistance to growth. We conclude that any inconsistencies in his character can be understood through a consideration of Curb Your Enthusiasm’s comedic goals and sensibilities.
在11季电视节目中,《抑制你的热情》(Curb Your Enthusiasm)的观众已经见证了拉里·大卫(Larry David)这个主角自相矛盾地表现出既可爱又令人反感的特质。本文对拉里·大卫的性格进行了分析,目的是确定他的英雄本性,特别关注他是否最符合英雄或反英雄的科学标准。从英雄主义科学的文献中,我们研究了大量的证据,这些证据来自该系列的剧集,支持拉里角色中的英雄主义和反英雄主义的论点。与英雄主义的定义一致,拉里表现出偏差、谦逊、忠于原则和成长心态。然而,与反英雄主义一致,拉里表现出自私、对社会不敏感、控制欲强和对成长的抵制。我们的结论是,他性格中的任何矛盾都可以通过考虑《抑制你的热情》的喜剧目标和情感来理解。

Document Type Article Abstract Joseph Campbell was a scholar of mythology and comparative religion who attained great popularity by promoting the value of mythology in people's lives. Interestingly, he attained this status even though there was little scientific evidence for his ideas. In recent years, researchers have begun to evaluate Campbell's ideas in rigorous, empirical ways, with most of this research being focused on the implications of the hero's journey. There are still a number of Campbell's psychology-related ideas, however, that have not been evaluated scientifically. These are the ideas we evaluated in this paper. Because we focused on the underexplored ideas, we could find no research directly assessing them. So, we evaluated them indirectly, using research that seemed relevant but that was conducted for independent reasons. This evaluation led us to conclude that Campbell was right in many of his psychology-related ideas, and that researchers could benefit if they took these ideas seriously and incorporated them into their research and theorizing DOI 10.26736/hs.2019.01.01 Recommended Citation Martin, Leonard L.; Conners, James; and Newbold, Jacqueline A.

摘要约瑟夫·坎贝尔是一位研究神话和比较宗教的学者,他通过宣传神话在人们生活中的价值而获得了极大的知名度。有趣的是,尽管他的观点几乎没有科学依据,但他还是获得了这一地位。近年来,研究人员开始以严谨、实证的方式评估坎贝尔的观点,其中大部分研究都集中在主人公旅程的含义上。然而,坎贝尔的一些与心理学相关的观点还没有得到科学的评估。这些都是我们在本文中评估的想法。因为我们关注的是未被探索的想法,所以我们找不到直接评估它们的研究。因此,我们间接地评估他们,使用看似相关但出于独立原因进行的研究。这一评估使我们得出结论,坎贝尔在许多与心理学相关的观点上都是正确的,如果研究人员认真对待这些观点,并将其纳入他们的研究和理论化,他们就会受益。康纳斯,詹姆斯;纽博尔德,杰奎琳·A.
