Abstract

There is an obvious premier degré contradiction in commemorating Dada centenaries. The movement was famously against permanence and yet Dada has become enshrined in popular culture, exhibitions, catalogues, and indeed academic research. To paraphrase a Dada slogan, perhaps the true Dada researcher should be against research into Dada. But let us not be too fetishistic or precious about Dada. To borrow from Delia Ungureanu’s magisterial comparative study of surrealism, where is Dada in the 21st-century, and what does it mean to understand that question not so much in terms of conscious practice (such as contemporary performance art) but in relation to the pan-human, pan-historical phenomena cherished by Dadaists and which can be forgotten in the rush to eulogise Dada nihilism, such as ethics and peace, radical humanism, socio-political engagement, and the question of how to live well with oneself and with others? The world is on fire, and Dada is both dead and all around us.

坚决支持和反对未来:达达和其他生活艺术
在纪念达达诞辰一百周年时,有一个明显的首要矛盾。这场运动以反对永久性而闻名,但达达已经被载入流行文化、展览、目录,甚至学术研究。套用达达的口号,也许真正的达达研究者应该反对对达达的研究。但让我们不要对达达过于恋物或珍视。借用Delia Ungureanu对超现实主义的权威性比较研究,21世纪的达达在哪里?与其说是从有意识的实践(如当代行为艺术)的角度,不如说是从达达主义者珍视的泛人类、泛历史现象的角度来理解这个问题意味着什么,比如伦理与和平、激进的人道主义、社会政治参与,以及如何与自己和他人和睦相处的问题?世界着火了,达达既死了,也在我们周围。
