摘要

摘要：本文质疑了尼古拉斯·克里斯托夫对柬埔寨性交易的报道，考察了这位《纽约时报》专栏作家在其作品中延续的新帝国主义救援幻想背景下的叙事自我塑造。它探讨了克里斯托夫的写作和他使用的各种媒体之间的交叉点，并考虑了两者对他希望以行动的名义质询的观众的影响。在他的报道中，克里斯托夫传播了一系列关于性、工作和流动性的真相声明；他把自己描绘成一个全球性的救世主，并鼓励读者“讽刺性”的参与，读者与其说是参与以正义为中心的世界主义道德，不如说是认同救世主，思考自己自恋的团结表现。

Live-Tweeting and Distant Suffering: Nicholas Kristof as Global Savior

Abstract:This essay interrogates Nicholas Kristof’s reporting on sex trafficking in Cambodia, examining the New York Times columnist’s narrative self-fashioning in the context of the neoimperialist rescue fantasies his writing perpetuates. It explores the intersections between Kristof’s writing and the various media he employs, and considers the effects of both on the audience he wishes to interpellate in the name of action. In his reporting, Kristof disseminates a set of truth claims about sex, work, and mobility; he presents himself as a global savior figure and encourages the “ironic” participation of his reader, who is moved less to take part in a cosmopolitan morality centered on justice for the Other than to identify with the savior and contemplate their own narcissistic performance of solidarity.
