过去的一切,或者说那个将一个人的当代经验与前代人经验传承相连的社会机制,如今已经完全毁灭不存。这种与过去割裂断绝的现象,可以说是20世纪末期最大也最怪异的特色之一。许许多多身处世纪末的青年男女,他们的成长背景似乎是一种永远的现在,与这个时代的众人的共同过去,缺乏任何有机的联系。—埃里克·霍布斯鲍姆:《极端的年代》
All the past, or the social mechanism linking the contemporary experience of one person to the experience of the previous generation, is now completely destroyed. This phenomenon of severing from the past can be said to be one of the largest and weakest features of the late 20th century. The vast majority of young men and women, who are at the end of the century, seem to have grown up in an everlasting past, lacking any organic connection with the common past of all people in this age. - Eric Hobsbawm: “Extreme Years”
