作为事件的崇高——兼及布迪厄对康德崇高论的策略性回避

Sublime as Event——Also on Bourdieu's Strategic Avoidance of Kant's Sublime Theory

康德富于代表性地将面对崇高的不适描述为惊怖刺激,已流露出与当代事件思想共通的迹象,但他进而将崇高体验定位于主体对惊怖的克服,又中和了事件而表明认识论无法发生出事件。接续认识论的语言论从推证上蕴含着事件的可能,但从布迪厄的康德美学批判这一关涉符号权力的典型标本看,崇高在语言对意义的建构信念中被策略性地回避,语言论依然陷入了不利于事件发生的同质化境地。事件从而同时超越认识论与语言论范式,呈现为行动论转向。在这一新转向中,崇高作为有别于传统的不可能性得到把握,也启发了美学对实践作事件性理解。

Kant typically describes the discomfort in the face of sublimity as horror and stimulation,which shows signs that he has something in common with contemporary philosophy of event,but he then locates the sublime experience in the subject's overcoming of horrors,and neutralizes event to show that epistemology can not produce event.The linguistic turn contains the possibility of event from the deduction,but from Bourdieu's Kant aesthetic criticism,which is a typical specimen related to symbolic power,sublime is strategically avoided in the belief in the construction of meaning in language.Language is still in a situation of homogenization that is not conducive to the occurrence of event.Thus,the event transcends epistemology and linguistic paradigm at the same time,and presents a turn of action theory.In this new turn,the impossibility of sublimity,which is different from the traditional one,is grasped,which also inspires aesthetics to make an event-oriented understanding of practice.
