Abstract

Abstract:This article proposes to situate what it will show to be Charles Baudelaire's bi-directional empathy with objects in relation to his move away from Romanticism towards Modernism. It will show that self-transforming receptiveness to the outside world is at least as central to his aesthetic as any self-projecting transformation of that world. The article will consider the poet's presentation of identification with objects, in the poems "La Cloche fêlée," "La Musique," and "Le Flacon," in the light of early thinking about empathy by Robert Vischer and others, and then briefly in the light of more recent work on the theme. It will argue that his inscriptions of the confrontation between self and non-self reveal Baudelaire to be an early thinker of a self-transforming kind of empathy, which is central both to his Modernism and to the thinking of the early empathy theorists whose work was so influential for Modernism.

波德莱尔、维舍尔和自我转化共情

摘要：本文试图将查尔斯·波德莱尔对物体的双向移情与他从浪漫主义向现代主义的转变联系起来。这将表明，自我改造对外部世界的接受能力至少与对这个世界的任何自我改造一样，是他美学的核心。这篇文章将考虑诗人在诗歌《La Cloche fêlée》、《La Musique》和《Le Flacon》中对物体的认同，考虑到罗伯特·维舍尔等人早期对同理心的思考，然后简要考虑到最近关于这一主题的工作。有人会说，他关于自我与非自我之间对抗的铭文揭示了波德莱尔是一位自我改造移情的早期思想家，这既是他的现代主义的核心，也是早期移情理论家思想的核心，他们的工作对现代主义有着重大影响。
