PRIVATE MATTERS

Book ID/图书代码： 09320004B00068

English Summary/英文概要： Today we enjoy more privacy than ever before, yet the encroachment of the media, computer data gathering, and electronic surveillance in our lives undermines our sense that we have privacy at all. Although privacy is essential to our capacity to love and create and think, it can be used for the wrong reasons. The same condition that sustains intimacy, creativity, and freedom can also be invoked as an abusive kind of secrecy. In Private Matters, Janna Malamud Smith explores this paradox through various prisms: the bedroom, the psychiatrist’s couch, the biography, the presidency, the media, women and their bodies, and post-9/11 policy. More pertinent than ever before, this modern history of privacy offers important insights into the role of this increasingly elusive and fragile virtue.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 个人隐私一贯受到保护，今天人们能享受到比过去更多的私密性。但随着媒体的侵入，电脑资料的积聚和电子监控的广布，个人隐私正受到威胁。另一方面，虽然个人隐私对于爱，创造和思考是十分重要的，它也有被滥用的可能。作者从多个方面探讨了这个两难问题：卧室内，心理治疗师的躺椅上，人物传记里，总统的职位，媒体的权利和责任，女性与她们的身体，9.11之后的政策，等等。 媒体评论：《隐私问题》读来犹如一次成功医疗……它是个人深思熟虑的结果；是创造新我极其脆弱神圣的过程；也是掩门拉帘、挡住社会注视的个人权利发展史；还是一部极佳的文化方面的逸闻史。----理查德•A•希怀德 Richard A. Shweder （纽约书评）
