马洛的尴尬:殖民话语内外——对小说《黑暗的心脏》的另一种解读

约瑟夫·康拉德的小说《黑暗的心脏》以水手马洛从欧洲进入非洲腹地之行的所见及所参与之事,讲述了“文明的”欧洲对“野蛮、落后的”非洲的入侵和浩劫暴行。小说中马洛是个悖论式的人物,马洛的本质是康拉德本人的一个悖论。文章拟对马洛的叙述、殖民与反殖民意识及其本质进行剖析,以探究殖民话语内外的尴尬,从而对约瑟夫·康拉德的创作进行一番新的审视。

Knows no weekend: the psychological contract of cultural work in precarious times

ABSTRACT

This article explores the expanded and transformed nature of the psychological work contract for forms of cultural and artistic labour in precarious conditions. The forms of passionate work found within cultural production are argued to form a new model for governing our subjective involvement in and attachment to work. This more expansive and demanding relationship with work has become generalized beyond the specific area of cultural production into employment relationships more generally. In doing so the expanded psychological contract of work comes to operate as a form of logistical media and infrastructural governance, connecting the micropolitics of governing labour with larger structural conditions of precarity and instability. Thus, while work today is less stable in what it offers, it demands even greater psychological investment despite increased uncertainty.     

Agent-regret and sporting glory

ABSTRACT

When sporting agents fail through wrongful or faulty behaviour, they should feel guilty; when they fail because of a deficiency in their abilities, they should feel shame. But sometimes we fail without being deficient and without being at fault. I illustrate this with two examples of players, Moacir Barbosa and Roberto Baggio, who failed in World Cup finals and cost their teams the greatest prize in sport. Although both players failed, I suggest that neither was at fault and neither was deficient. I argue that we can fail through no fault of our own because our abilities are always fallible. This fallibility means that to succeed – to achieve sporting glory – we must run the risk of failure. The appropriate emotion to feel over such failures is agent-regret. Sporting agents and observers should not take up what I call the ‘critical position’: the idea that someone who fails must be deficient or must have been at fault. This allows for a softer, but also more accurate, attitude towards our own failures and the failures of others. I end by suggesting that the fallibility of our abilities is made clear through playing or watching sport, and this can illuminate life more broadly.
