在本章中，我想在文化和权力的背景下探讨记忆和欲望之间的复杂关系。更具体地说，我想将 20 世纪 80 年代好莱坞对美国越南战争的描述（我将其称为“好莱坞的越南”）与 1990 年底和 1991 年初乔治·布什的竞选活动联系起来，以赢得对美国卷入海湾战争的支持。我的观点是，好莱坞创造了一个关于美国越南战争的特殊“真相政权”，而乔治·布什“阐明”了这一“知识体系”，作为海湾战争筹备过程中的有利“记忆”。
In this chapter I want to explore, within a context of culture and power, the complex relations between memory and desire. More specifically, I want to connect 1980s Hollywood representations of America’s war in Vietnam (what I will call ‘Hollywood’s Vietnam’) with George Bush’s campaign, in late 1990 and early 1991, to win support for US involvement in what became the Gulf War. My argument is that Hollywood produced a particular ‘regime of truth’ about America’s war in Vietnam and that this body of ‘knowledge’ was ‘articulated’ by George Bush as an enabling ‘memory’ in the build up to the Gulf War.
