在碎片中破土——从“震惊”看《发达资本主义时代的抒情诗人》

本雅明《发达资本主义时代的抒情诗人》一书充满了形形色色的人与物,但在纷繁复杂的意象中,"震惊"一以贯之,成为探寻问题的一个起点和动因。文章从"震惊"的心理溯源开始来梳理本雅明的美学思想和社会学思想,以期从这一特定角度对本雅明的现代性思想有一个较为明晰的理解。心理层面,人们以牺牲事物的完整性和鲜活性为代价,发展出一套针对"震惊"的戒备机制。美学领域,"震惊"剥夺了传统艺术的"光晕",而波德莱尔的伟大之处正在于把"震惊"引入了抒情诗。"震惊"还引发了新的社会现象,这就是以游荡者为代表的人群,以及以摄影为代表的物象,人的异化不可避免地产生了。

Breaking Ground from the Fragments——Exploring A Lyric Poet in the Era of High Capitalism through "Shock"

Benjamin’s A Lyric Poet in the Era of High Capitalism is full of mixed people and things, but the numerous and complicated images are linked together with "shock",which is the starting point or impetus in the seeking of problems.The paper coordinates Benjamin’s thought in aesthetics and sociology from the source in psychology,with the purpose of getting a transparent understanding of Benjamin’s thought of modernity from the special point of view.Mentally,people develop a set of guard mechanism against "shock",at the cost of the integrality and freshness of events.In the field of aesthetics,"shock" deprives the "aura" of traditional arts,and the greatness of Baudelaire lies exactly in leading "shock" into lyric poems.Moreover,"shock" causes new social phenomena,such as the crowd represented by flaneur and the images represented by photographs,and inevitably,the human alienation comes into being.
