摘要
《论歌德的〈亲合力〉》是本雅明文艺批评的代表作品,其中提出的"救赎"概念,既可作为本雅明独具匠心的文艺批评方法,亦是他对歌德小说《亲合力》主题的判定。作为批评方法的"救赎",带有隐喻的性质,是指文艺批评若要将"真理内容"从作品当中拯救出来,获得永恒的生命,须得通过对"作品的损毁";而作为小说主题的"救赎",则带有神学的意味,它深深地扎根在本雅明对小说"事实内容"的结构性分析当中。本雅明的"救赎批评",并不能简单地作为他美学思想的来源和印证,而是通达其美学思想的必要中介。
Goethe's 'Elective Affinities' is a Benjamin's representative work on literary and art criticism, where the concept of Redemption can be considered to be either the original method of Benjamin's literature and art's criticism, or the theme of the novel Elective Affinities. 'Redemption', with a metaphor for criticism, means it must be through the 'Mortifi cation of Work' if the literary and art criticism can rescue 'Content of Truth' from the work and gain an eternal life. On the other hand, 'Redemption' as a novel's theme possesses a theological meaning, which is deeply rooted in the structural analysis of the 'Content of Fact' by Benjamin. In all, 'Criticism of Redemption' is not only the source of, but also the necessary approach to his aesthetical ideology.
