    RADICAL RITUAL: HOW BURNING MAN CHANGED THE WORLD

    Book ID/图书代码: 03371019C00002

    English Summary/英文概要: Written from Neil Shister’s perspective as a journalist, student of American culture, and six-time participant in Burning Man, Radical Ritual presents the event as vitally, historically important. Shister contends that Burning Man is a significant player in the avant-garde, forging new social paradigms as liberal democracy unravels. Burning Man’s contribution to this new order is postmodern, a fusion of sixties humanism with state-of-the-art Silicon Valley wizardry.

    Shister is not alone in his opinion. In 2018, the Smithsonian dedicated its entire Renwick Gallery, located next door to the White House, to an exhibition of Burning Man art and culture. The gathering intertwines conservative and progressive ideas. On one hand it is a celebration of self-reliance, personal accountability, and individual freedom; on the other hand it is based on strong values of inclusion, consensual decision making, and centered, collaborative endeavor.

    In a wonderful mix of narrative storytelling and reportage, Radical Ritual discusses how Burning Man has impacted the art world, disaster relief, urban renewal, the utilization of renewable energy, and even the corporate governance of Google. The story concludes with the sudden death in April 2018 of Larry Harvey, now renowned as the philosophical epicenter of the movement.

    Chinese Summary/中文概要: 作为一名记者、美国文化的学习者、6次“火人节”的参与者,作者从自己的视角出发,向人们展现了该活动呈现出的重要的历史意义。 Shister认为,“火人节”是先锋派的重要角色,随着自由民主的瓦解,它塑造了新的社会范式。“火人节”对这个新秩序的贡献是后现代主义的,将60年代的人文主义与最先进的硅谷魔法融合在一起。

    在Shister看来,他并不孤单。2018年,史密森尼博物馆将其紧邻白宫的伦威克画廊全部用于举办有关“火人节”的艺术和文化展览。这次聚会交织着保守和进步的思想。一方面,它崇尚自力更生、个人责任感和个人自由;另一方面,它是建立在包容、协商一致的决策、合作的价值观的基础之上的。

    本书混合了叙事和报告文学,探讨了“火人节”是如何影响艺术界、救灾、城市翻新、可再生能源的利用,甚至谷歌的公司治理的。故事以Larry Harvey在2018年4月的突然去世而告终,他现在被誉为这场运动的哲学中心。(LYR)

    Awards/获奖情况:“本书结构巧妙,内容清晰、生动、引人入胜。它将经验丰富而客观的记者身份、研究‘火人节’的分析员身份和深入参与‘火人节’的创造者的身份有机结合在一起,展现了非凡的洞察力。这部作品从头到尾都精彩纷呈。”——Carl Smith,西北大学美国研究及历史系教授,著有《芝加哥计划》

    "Masterfully organized and written with a clarity and liveliness that pulls us along, Neil Shister’s Radical Ritual meshes two different approaches to its elusive subject. It combines the intellectual insights of a seasoned objective reporter and analyst who has studied Burning Man’s history and creators in depth with the deeply personal responses of an active (though hardly unquestioning) participant who conveys the experiential feel of being there. The result is a brilliantly successful synthesis and wonderful read from start to finish." ―Carl Smith, author of The Plan of Chicago and professor of American studies and history at Northwestern University
