瓦尔特•本雅明与19世纪巴黎的“寓言”

Walter Benjamin and the“Fable”of 19th Century Paris

关于19世纪巴黎的分析是本雅明后期未完成的"拱廊街计划"中的重要组成部分。面对19世纪巴黎,本雅明既非以一种再现也非以表现的方式来呈现,而是以自己独有的"寓言"方式,将它看作"辩证意象",进而来深入展开自己对发达资本主义时代大众文化的批判性思考以及这种思考与辩证唯物主义之间的关系。在具体的分析进程中,本雅明将巴黎都城中各色人和巴黎都城空间看作"辩证意象",展开寓言批评,他一方面看到19世纪的巴黎在资本主义生产方式主导下所造就的商品拜物教本质,另一方面在商品的废墟之下又看到觉醒的可能。

The analysis of the capital city Paris in the 19th century is an important part of the unfinished“Arcades Street”plan in the late period of Benjamin.Facing the 19th century Paris capital,Benjamin neither reappeare’d nor expressed it,but regarded it as“dialectical image”in his own unique“fable”way,and then further developed his critical thinking of the mass culture in the developed capitalist era and the relationship between this thought and dialectical materialism.In the process of concrete analysis,Benjamin regarded various people and space in Paris as“dialectical image”,and criticized them with fable.On the one hand,he saw the commodity fetishism nature created by Paris under the guidance of capitalist production mode in the 19th century,and on the other hand,he saw the possibility of awakening under the ruins of commodities.
