从莫泊桑到健怡可乐 --论后现代与现代的同步

２０世纪的模仿、复制和重复,远远不是一个同一种东西大量地简单再现的消极问题。被经常归类为后现代的多种媒介的互换、“高级艺术”与“大众文化”界线的暧昧化正是现代所特有的文化的丰富性。真正的重复能够让我们见证那与原作不同的惊喜的生成,而对这惊喜是现代的还是后现代的追问已经失去了意义。

On the Issue of Simultaneity of Postmodern and Modern

Imitation, copy and repetition in the 20th century are far from the reproduction of the same thing on a large scale and in a simple style. The exchange between different mediums usually classified into the postmodern category and the growing haziness between "high-class arts" and "mass culture" tell us the story of the cultural colorfulness of the modem age. Genuine repetition brings us a kind of admiration impossible in the original. It is meaningless to ask whether the admiration belongs to the modern or the postmodern in its nature.
