摘要
蒂莫西·布伦南,《心灵之地:爱德华·赛义德的一生》。纽约:Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2021。464页。H. Aram Veeser, Edward Said:批评的魅力。纽约:劳特利奇出版社,2010。272页。36年后的1986年,爱德华•萨义德(Edward Said)与伯纳德•刘易斯(Bernard Lewis)在中东研究协会(Middle East Studies Association)进行了一场著名的辩论。当我们回顾这场辩论时,我们会惊讶于这场辩论中的场面元素,以及讨论的纯粹肤浅。表面上看,哥伦比亚大学英语教授爱德华·赛义德(Edward Said)和普林斯顿大学阿拉伯学者伯纳德·刘易斯(Bernard Lewis)就“学者、媒体和中东”展开了辩论,两人的激烈争论当时还局限于纸面上。另外两名小组成员,《国家》的记者克里斯托弗·希钦斯(Christopher Hitchens),当时是左翼狂热分子,以及赛义德以前的学生、《新共和》的文学编辑莱昂·维塞尔蒂埃(Leon Wieseltier),偶尔也会发言。

Watching the famous 1986 debate between Edward Said and Bernard Lewis at the Middle East Studies Association some thirty-six years later, one is struck by the element of spectacle in the exercise, as well as the sheer superficiality of the discussion. Ostensibly a debate between two men whose bitter arguments had until then been limited to the printed page, Columbia English professor Edward Said and the (by then retired) Princeton Arabist Bernard Lewis debated “the scholars, the media, and the Middle East.” Two additional panelists, correspondent for the Nation Christopher Hitchens, at that time a Left zealot, and Leon Wieseltier, a former student of Said’s and literary editor at the New Republic, occasionally spoke as well.
