在最近的电影《拯救大兵瑞恩》中，最不可思议的时刻并不在于人们谈论得很多的战斗场面，也不在于被派去营救瑞恩的士兵之间的道德分歧。相反，这是暴力中的一个安静的时刻，一个从未被解释或提及的孤独行动。在混乱的D日登陆接近尾声时，霍瓦特中士（由汤姆·西泽莫尔扮演）做了一些不寻常的事情，因为他的战友们正在努力科普周围的大屠杀。他打开背包，拿出一个标有“法国”的小金属容器，把脚下的土装满。然后他把它放回背包里，放在标有“意大利”和“非洲”的相同容器旁边。在他的行动中有一种几乎是自我意识的元素--他的眼睛闪闪发光，他弓着腰，好像他不想让其他士兵分享这一私人的收集行为，在战区这种奇怪的收集和标记污垢可能意味着什么？血与土之间的关系，当然不是从民族遗产的角度，而是从为获得战略领土而流血的角度提出的。霍瓦特中士背包里的其他容器是空的还是满的如果他回到美国，他将如何处理这些纪念品？他在那里是为了赢得自由战争还是为了出国旅行体验外国文化？最后一种说法似乎是一个可笑的，甚至是冒犯性的建议，但这是本文的目的。战争和旅游是奇怪的同床异梦。很难看出暴力和人类暴行与外国假期的休闲活动有何联系。* 事实上，更恰当的说法是，这两个事件是严格的。现代旅游业明确避免暴力地区，以便为游客提供尽可能安全的度假地点。可以想象，
The most uncanny moment in the recent film Saving Private Ryan is not in the much-talked-about battle scenes, nor is it in the moral disagreements between the soldiers sent to rescue Ryan. Rather, it is a quiet moment amid the violence, a solitary action that is never explained or referred to. Toward the end of the chaotic D-Day landing, Sergeant Horvath (played by Tom Sizemore) does something unusual as his fellow soldiers struggle to cope with the surrounding carnage. He opens his rucksack, takes out a small metal container labeled “France,” and fills it with the soil beneath his feet. He then places it back in his rucksack beside identical containers labeled “Italy” and “Africa.” There is an almost self-conscious element in his actions-his eyes dart, he is hunched overas if he doesn’t want the other soldiers to share iil‘ this private act of collection, What could this curious gathering and labeling of dirt in a war zone possibly mean? Surely a relationship between blood and soil is suggested, not so much in terms of national heritage, but rather in terms of shedding blood for the acquisition of strategic territory. Are the other containers in Sergeant Horvath’s rucksack empty or full? What will he do with these souvenirs if and when he returns home to the United States? Is he there to win the war for freedom or to travel overseas and experience foreign cultures? The last statement seems a ludicrous and even offensive suggestion, but it is one this article aims to address. War and tourism are strange bedfellows. It is not easy to see how violence and human atrocity are connected to the leisure practices of foreign holidays. *Indeed,,it would be more appropriate to suggest that, the, two events are rigorously. separated, that modern tourism explicitly avoids areas of violence in .order to provide the safest possible vacation spots for tourists. One can imagine a
