阿甘本早期美学思想概述

An Overview of Agamben's Early Aesthetic Thought

本文以吉奥乔·阿甘本的早期著作《没有内容的人》《诗节》《婴儿期和历史》为重点,研究这些文本所强调的美学的特殊地位。阿甘本在《没有内容的人》里揭示了美学的毁灭,在《诗节:西方文化中的文字和幻象》中重新阐释了批评和作品之间的关系,在《婴儿期与历史》中则研究了现代经验的毁灭。阿甘本早期思想从探讨美学的危机开始,随后探究创造性批评的可能性,并从美学的毁灭走向经验的毁灭,这为其后来著作中语言哲学和伦理学的转向提供了可能。

Focusing on the early writings of Giorgio Agamben(Man without Content,Stanzas,Infancy and History),this paper examines the special status of aesthetics as revealed by these texts.Agamben reveals the destruction of aesthetics in Man Without Content,reinterprets the relationship between criticism and the work in Stanzas:Word and Phantasm in Western Culture,and examines the destruction of modern experience in Infancy and History.Agamben's early concern with the crisis state of aesthetics,his inquiry into the possibilities of creative criticism,and his move from the destruction of aesthetics to the destruction of experience provide a possible basis for such turns as the philosophy of language and ethics in his later writings.
