"Five Faces of Modernity" is a series of semantic and cultural biographies of words that have taken on special significance in the last century and a half or so: "modernity," "avant-garde," "decadence," "kitsch," and "postmodernism." The concept of modernity--the notion that we, the living, are different and somehow superior to our predecessors and that our civilization is likely to be succeeded by one even superior to ours--is a relatively recent Western invention and one whose time may already have passed, if we believe its postmodern challengers. Calinescu documents the rise of cultural modernity and, in tracing the shifting senses of the five terms under scrutiny, illustrates the intricate value judgments, conflicting orientations, and intellectual paradoxes to which it has given rise.
"Five Faces of Modernity" attempts to do for the foundations of the modernist critical lexicon what earlier terminological studies have done for such complex categories as "classicism," "baroque," "romanticism," "realism," or "symbolism" and thereby fill a gap in literary scholarship. On another, more ambitious level, Calinescu deals at length with the larger issues, dilemmas, ideological tensions, and perplexities brought about by the assertion of modernity.
抓住资产阶级现代性和审美现代性的对立划分,以及“时间”这个关键词,还是能尽量把握一下全书的观点。不过很多地方确实是模糊地读过去,没办法搞清楚,历史和词源这两个分析角度并不友好。导言和第一章现代性概念的起点很高,导致读二三四章的时候心里不是很舒畅,落差有点大...
评分卡林内斯库提出一个看法,认为是“时间的不可逆性”导致了现代主义的出现。我很想和他谈谈,因为他的这种做法,完全就是在对比两个对象时,看到两个对象上存在两个不同的特征,然后就认定这种不同时导致二者不同的原因。由于这个前提完全支撑不起关于现代主义,所以卡林内斯库...
评分理性主义的进步概念同对价值观念普遍与永恒性的信仰绝非不相容。十七和十八世纪期间,即使是最真诚的进步主义教条派也毫不怀疑他们的价值体系与价值判断的绝对有效性……进步主义者认为,知识的进步、文明的发展和理性的启蒙有助于人们更好、更有效地理解那些恒常边在的价值观...
评分 评分西方文学理论看得很少,所以这本很有名的《现代性的五副面孔》我没有看太懂,呃……其实基本看懂了书里在说什么,但是很惭愧看完后没有什么自己的见解,所以借豆瓣整理一下思路。 一.现代性的概念 ·以古今之争分析了现代和古代的关系,从“古代巨人肩膀上的现代侏儒”到“螺...
The chapter on kitsch is a bit weak, but the rest of the book is absolutely awesome: Calinescu is a very rigorous analyst and although he of course cannot come close to a full coverage of that "aesthetic modernity" which he has set his views on, he gives us what seems to be the best overview of the subject of modernism I have read so far.
评分很好的一部概念书
评分Decadence和 Kitsch两部分写得稍弱、有些乱(特别是Decadence)。Modernism那部分很精彩地阐明了不同的理论发展和翻译路线及流派,特别是对苏联关于“现代主义”的理解阐释得很清楚,对研究中国当代艺术很有帮助。
评分only introduction
评分a very easy read. His analysis on revolutionary politics and Utopia is esp. relevant to regard the modernity in China.
