In the mold of his acclaimed History of Beauty, renowned cultural critic Umberto Eco’s On Ugliness is an exploration of the monstrous and the repellant in visual culture and the arts. What is the voyeuristic impulse behind our attraction to the gruesome and the horrible? Where does the magnetic appeal of the sordid and the scandalous come from? Is ugliness also in the eye of the beholder? Eco’s encyclopedic knowledge and captivating storytelling skills combine in this ingenious study of the Ugly, revealing that what we often shield ourselves from and shun in everyday life is what we’re most attracted to subliminally. Topics range from Milton’s Satan to Goethe’s Mephistopheles; from witchcraft and medieval torture tactics to martyrs, hermits, and penitents; from lunar births and disemboweled corpses to mythic monsters and sideshow freaks; and from Decadentism and picturesque ugliness to the tacky, kitsch, and camp, and the aesthetics of excess and vice. With abundant examples of painting and sculpture ranging from ancient Greek amphorae to Bosch, Brueghel, and Goya among others, and with quotations from the most celebrated writers and philosophers of each age, this provocative discussion explores in-depth the concepts of evil, depravity, and darkness in art and literature.
Umberto Eco is a world-renowned writer of fiction, essays, and academic treatises and is undoubtedly one of the finest authors of our time. Among his best-selling novels are The Name of the Rose, Foucault’s Pendulum, The Island of the Day Before, and Baudolino.
方所看到的原版大書裏麵的圖文比我讀的小中文譯本震撼很多,整個壓抑感爆炸。不過文獻好多,全英文我也是啃不動的。。。有得有失,譯本把很多原著文獻翻得不夠味道是一定,不過單看譯本多而不少還是有收獲
評分downside: 材料和分析僅限於西方世界
評分蹲在Tate Britain 讀完的,有關中譯本撕逼得一塌糊塗,無奈看不懂意大利語,讀 Alastair McEwen 的英譯本也不錯,好歹是Umberto Eco 指定的翻譯。
評分集醜惡之大成
評分美醜觀念隨時代及文化而變化,價值觀也一樣。比如歌星擱古代就是賣唱的,演員擱以前就是賣笑的,什麼琴棋書畫唱歌跳舞現在叫纔藝,以前隻有青樓妓女纔學。
本来以为要把纸质书背到美国去读,结果还是赶在出发之前的最后一天看完了艾柯的《丑的历史》。一开始以为这本书是关于艺术史的,后来才知道它实际上是一本哲学+美学著作。加上自己时间比较紧张,中译本的翻译也不是特别好,所以算看了个半懂不懂吧。个人认为这本书比较猎奇,记...

評分“媚俗也一直被用来形容希特勒、墨索里尼政权下那些歌功颂德,要全民欢迎的艺术。” 美的对立为丑,然而审美与审丑皆有共性,存在许多不确定因素,翁贝托・艾柯写《美的历史》后,再作《丑的历史》,在书前《导论》里说:“每个世纪都有哲学家和艺术家提出‘美’的定...
評分 評分《丑的历史》有网友说老早收到了,讲收到的书品相交关好。我5月24日在卓越下的这笔订单,31日中午收到,与第二次调换的《时间的故事》一起送来。精装书品相出人意料的漂亮——快递员说,这两本精装都从苏州库房调拨而来呢,他不知道的是这两本书都是Viking兄编辑滴。 对于这...
