本雅明与历史前卫:阿甘本“姿势”概念的艺术起源

Benjamin and the Historical Avant-Garde:The Artistic Origins of Agamben's Concept of“Gesture”

经过本雅明的棱镜作用,历史前卫的理论与实践在阿甘本“姿势”概念中汇聚为星丛。姿势丧失总结了本雅明灵韵消逝与经验贫乏所描述的现代性危机。作为媒介展示的姿势概念可追溯到电影蒙太奇、前卫拼贴和叙事戏剧的姿势援引。辩证影像则被发展为辩证姿势,分享同样的觉醒辩证法与定格辩证法。姿势批评则继承了瓦尔堡间隙图像学与本雅明救赎批评的遗产。本雅明革命与救赎的雅努斯面孔最终融入了阿甘本从美学到伦理与政治的“姿势转向”规划当中。

Through the mediation of Benjamin,the theory and practice of historical avant-garde are brought together into Agamben's concept of"gesture".“The lost of Gesture”summarizes the crisis of modernity described by Benjamin's"disappearance of aura"and"poverty of experience".The concept of gestures as"the Exhibition of Mediality"can be traced back to montages in film,collages in avant-garde art,and gestural quotation in the Epic Theatre.The"dialectical image"is developed into"dialectical gesture",both of which share the dialectics of awakening and the dialectics of standstill.Gesture criticism inherits the legacy of Warburg's iconology of interval and Benjamin's redemptive criticism.In the end,the Janus face of Benjamin's revolution and redemption were all integrated into Agamben's gestural turn"planning from aesthetics to ethics and politics.
