Ideographic Modernism pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 2024
The ideograph is conventionally understood as a script that is ancient and Chinese; it is neither. The 'ideograph' is a modern Western invention, one contemporaneous with, and related to, such modern inventions as photography, phonography, and cinematography. Ideographic Modernism analyzes the collective significance of an array of figures of Chinese writing in Euro-American literature, showing how the ideograph becomes, in the modernist era, a prism through which to imagine the world in ethnographic and in technological terms. Chapters on writing-as-image take up Kafka's 'An Imperial Message' and the way photography works as a model of vision without consciousness in the poetics of Imagists and their seeming opposite number, the French allegorist Paul Claudel. Chapters on writing-as-inscription, focus on Victor Segalen's Steles (1912), a prose poem collection that formally emulates the Chinese stone monuments from which it takes its name; and on a series of generally unremarked references to Chinese writing in the work of Walter Benjamin. A final chapter considers Paul Valery's response to the now almost forgotten Sino-Japanese War of 1894-95, tracing Valery's challenge to envision Western History had it engaged with real China, China-as-China, from the start. Overall, the study reveals the richness of the 'ideograph' as simultaneously 1) a prominent example in the imagining of China as a cultural other; 2) a way of imagining the origin, history, and possible futures of writing; and 3) a registration of the cultural effects of modern technological media.
2015-16前後寫開題報告的時候讀過,最近改書稿再拿齣來看看。orientation還是對的,西方對漢字想象的本身是對錶徵的思考,去批判誤讀沒有意義,好像誰不知道是的。
評分中國在西方的影子,以及構造
評分讀得匆忙,主要寫西方現代主義對中國(文字、書寫)的想象和對現代媒介(照相、留聲、電影、電報)想象的一些交匯。

評分導言裏麵把20世紀以前有關ideograph的討論梳理得很清楚。第二章把Stèle裏麵的inscription和phonograph比較很有意思。寫本雅明的第三章仿佛什麼也沒講(?)。原來作者就在隔壁想要去蹭課!
