摘要

我们说“战区”并非偶然,因为战争无疑是终极虚构。在没有任何重大的外部威胁为国家暴力辩护的情况下,侵略战争已成为一种通过其他方式进行的虚假宣传,我对此非常着迷。后现代战争,像景观的所有其他部分一样,不能再被理解为“其他手段的政治”。这种冲突确实有道理,但只能在另一个层面上解释——即他们的消费。它们的发展可以追溯到最早的戏剧仪式,并通过悲剧、歌剧、电影和电视剧来到我们面前。就像肥皂剧一样,它们没有尽头,因为它们的角色同样具有可塑性和普遍性。只有对那些以家园、生命和死亡为创作素材的人来说,这些行为才有超越场景的意义。

Theatre of War: High Culture and Popular Entertainment in the Spectacle of Kosovo
Abstract It is no accident that we speak of “Theatres of War,” for war is surely the ultimate fiction. I have been hideously fascinated by the way in which, in the absence of any significant external threat to justify state violence, aggressive war has become a form of spin doctoring by other means. Postmodern war, like all other parts of the Spectacle, can no longer be understood as “politics by other means.” Such conflicts do make sense, but only at another level of explanation — that of their consumption. They stand in a line of development that goes back to the earliest dramatic rituals and comes to us through tragedy, opera, film and TV drama. Like soap opera, they need no end, for their characters are equally plastic and universal. Only for the people whose homes, lives and deaths serve as the raw material for this production, have the actions any meaning beyond the Spectacle.
