论科学技术的发展与艺术的关系——读本雅明的《机械复制时代的艺术作品》

On the Relationship Between the Development of Science Technology and Art——Reading Walter Benjamin's The Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction Works

《机械复制时代的艺术作品》是本雅明的代表作之一。他认为,科学技术的发展对艺术既产生了负面效应,也产生了正面效应。但本雅明在对传统和现代艺术两种类型分析时并没有贯穿到底,在情感上始终有着对传统的留恋,缺乏应有的客观性。

The Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction Works, written by Walter Benjamin, mainly discusses the development of mechanical reproduction technology brings about a series of changes to the field of art. He believes that the development of science and technology exerts both positive and negative effects on the art. Admittedly, Benjamin does see the positive effects of science and technology on the artistic creation and even on the development of the human spirit; even today, we can still learn from it.
