论审美时间与商品时间

On Aesthetic Time and Commodity Time

从康德、席勒、伽达默尔到马丁·泽尔,现代美学把审美时间设想为一种抽象的"独特现在"时间。这个"现在"是从日常时间和历史时间的连续性中掉落出来的一环,它充盈自足,并且内在地具有一种在量上自我扩充的冲动。审美的"独特现在"时间与马克思所分析的商品时间有着深刻的相似性。结合詹姆逊和索恩·雷特尔的分析,可以看到,商品的价值形式是由发生于抽象"现在"时间中的交换来实现的,商品生产因此具有一种消灭过去时间的物化特征,它制造了"资本主义现在的永恒处女性"的幻象。对审美时间与商品时间相似性的分析表明,发生于美学意识形态领域的理论抽象事件正是对主导生产方式内在逻辑的无意识反映。

From Kant, Schiller, Gadamer to Martin Zell, modern aesthetics have conceived aesthetic timeas an abstract"unique present"time. This"now"is a fall from the continuity of everyday and historicaltime, full of self-sufficiency, and inherently has an impulse to expand quantitatively. The"unique present"time in aesthetics has profound similarity to the commodity time analyzed by Marx. Combined with the analy-sis of Jameson and Thorn Retell, it can be seen that the form of value of goods is realized by the exchangethat occurs in the abstract"present"time, and the production of goods thus has a kind of materialized char-acteristic of eliminating the past time, which creates the illusion of"eternal virginity of capitalism now". Ananalysis of the similarity between aesthetic time and commodity time shows that the theoretical abstract eventsoccurring in the field of aesthetic ideology are an unconscious reflection of the inherent logic of the dominantmode of production.
