巴迪欧对诗歌的“非美学”批判

Alain Badiou’s Inaesthetic Critique of Poetry

巴迪欧提出的"非美学"概念中最核心的一个理念就是将艺术从哲学的束缚中解放出来,成为与哲学相对的一种独立的真理程序。诗歌曾经一度被柏拉图所摒弃,原因就在于它源自模仿的模仿,无助于理想之国的建立。然而在巴迪欧的思考中,他通过"非美学"视角,重新为诗歌正名。巴迪欧通过对马拉美、策兰等人的诗歌进行研究,发现了"诗歌"与"数学"完全可以对立共存。现代诗歌可以作为一个思想的形式来认证自身,它作为思想的任务,不是一个在语言的肉身上的奉献的思想的有效存在,它是一套运作的方法,因此这个思想可以去思考它自身中蕴含的真理。诗歌的本质就是一次事件,是一个蕴含真理的集合。当诗人创作的诗歌被读者进入后,三者构成了一个趋近于呈现真理的集合,诗人的灵感化作字母符号,为读者进入后可能的真理呈现创造了条件,读者必须进入诗歌内部才有可能触碰到真理。当这一切瞬时发生时,诗歌作为一个事件,自然地拥有了呈现真理的可能性。

The core of Badiou’s concept of inaesthetics is to liberate art from philosophy and let it become an independent program of truth in contrast to philosophy.Among arts,poetry was once denounced by Plato,who thought it was an imitation of imitation and therefore unhelpful for the establishment of the Republic.Badiou,however,sets a high value on poetry from his inaesthetic perspective.From the poems of Stéphane Mallarmé,Paul Celan,and others,Badiou discovers a dialectical coexistence between poetry and mathematics.For him,modern poetry,as a form of thought,is able to verify itself.Being the task of idea,it is a set of operational methods rather than an effective existence of a thought devoted to the body of language.For this reason,poetry can contemplate the truth embedded in itself.It is essentially an event,an ensemble that embodies truths.When a poem enters the reader’s mind,it combines with the poet and the reader,and they constitute an ensemble that approaches the representation of truth.The poet’s inspiration is transformed into alphabetic symbols,which pave the way for readers’access to truth after they enter poetry.In this moment,poetry,as an event,possesses the possibility of representing truth.
