"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.

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...

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...
评分这本书,是看王宏宝的现代西方美学史视频中推荐的,看到了后现代这一篇,只感觉篇首和篇尾有意思外,其他都记不住。个人感觉,不如伯曼写的一切坚固的东西都烟消云散了好。举例太多,过于分散,观点不知就里,可能我比较懒,没研深。不像伯曼的重点分析,举的例子很少。。。。...
