"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.

如果不首先指出导论中的两个错误,我将无法写出本书的笔记,因为我认为这两个错误对于本书的结构来说是根本性的。这两个错误分别是: 1.对超验的错误想象。 2.时间概念的模糊不清。 关于第一点,作者的表述是:“我们在此要讨论的是一个重要的文化转变,即从一种由来已久的永恒...
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...
评分现代性 社会现代性和审美现代性是一对矛盾。前者是指科学进步、工业革命、资本主义带来的全面经济社会变化的产物。而后者自浪漫派的开端就倾向于激进的反资产阶级态度。通过反叛、无政府、天启主义、自我流放等多样手段来表达厌恶。 资本主义体制产生于新教伦理...
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.
