H. P. Lovecraft's apologia for the inclusion of horror fiction in the literary canon, entitled "Supernatural Horror in Literature," concludes with an argument that this genre is a particularly appropriate aesthetic response to the monumental advances in science, technology, and psychology that shaped modern America: Combated by a mounting wave of plodding realism, cynical flippancy, and sophisticated disillusionment, [horror writing] is yet encouraged by a parallel tide of growing mysticism ... and through the stimulation of wonder and fancy by such enlarged vistas and broken barriers as modern science has given us with its intra-atomic chemistry, advancing astrophysics, doctrines of relativity, and probings into biology and human thought. At the present moment the favouring forces would appear to have somewhat of an advantage; since there is unquestionably more cordiality shown toward weird writings than when, thirty years ago [the best horror fiction] fell on the stony ground of the smart and cocksure nineties. (1) Lovecraft suggests that the radical reformulation of common conceptions about human beings and their environment occurring in the early twentieth century prompted a concurrent reinvigoration of popular interest in horror writing because these new advancements rendered the known world strange. Psychoanalysts posited that there were parts of the human mind that could never be fully integrated into conscious thought. Scientific discoveries were revealing a universe incomprehensible in its vastness and seemingly infinite in its subatomic complexity. According to Lovecraft, these developments provoked an affective response of "wonder and fancy" in American writers and readers which translated into an aesthetic preference: fiction that reflected the disorienting and chaotic world modern scientists and philosophers were uncovering. Left unarticulated in Lovecraft's essay, but apparent in his fiction, is the way ambivalence towards the rapid social changes wrought by historical modernity, particularly in terms of increased opportunities for and likelihood of interracial contact, also finds expression in his horror writing. Philosopher Marshall Berman posits that ambivalence is endemic to living in a modern setting which "promises us adventure, power, joy, growth, transformation of ourselves and the world-and, at the same time ... threatens to destroy everything we have, everything we know, everything we are." (2) In Lovecraft, the opportunities and the anxieties endemic to historical modernity that Berman identifies are often explored by and through the destructive potential of extra-terrestrials invading the New England landscape. As Michael Saler argues, "one of the most important legacies of Lovecraft's life and fiction is how he came to terms, not just with disenchantment, but also with difference."

h·p·洛夫克拉夫特在《文学中的超自然恐怖》一书中为将恐怖小说纳入文学经典进行了辩护,最后他认为,这种类型是对塑造现代美国的科学、技术和心理学的巨大进步的一种特别恰当的审美反应:与日益高涨的现实主义浪潮、玩世不恭的轻狂和成熟的幻幻感作斗争,[恐怖写作]却受到日益增长的神秘主义浪潮的鼓励……现代科学以它的原子内部化学、不断发展的天体物理学、相对论学说以及对生物学和人类思想的探索,给我们带来了广阔的前景和打破的障碍,从而激发了我们的惊奇和幻想。在目前的时刻,有利的力量似乎有一些优势;毫无疑问,与三十年前(最好的恐怖小说)落在聪明自信的九十年代的石头地上相比,现在人们对怪异作品表现出了更多的热情。(1)洛夫克拉夫特认为,20世纪初发生的关于人类及其环境的普遍观念的彻底改变,同时也激发了人们对恐怖写作的兴趣,因为这些新的进步使已知的世界变得陌生。精神分析学家认为,人类心灵的某些部分永远无法完全融入意识思维。科学发现揭示了一个浩瀚的宇宙,其亚原子的复杂性似乎是无限的。根据洛夫克拉夫特的说法,这些发展在美国作家和读者中引发了一种“惊奇和幻想”的情感反应,这转化为一种审美偏好:小说反映了现代科学家和哲学家正在揭示的迷失方向和混乱的世界。在洛夫克拉夫特的文章中没有明确表达,但在他的小说中却很明显,对历史现代性造成的快速社会变化的矛盾心理,特别是在增加种族间接触的机会和可能性方面,也在他的恐怖作品中得到了表达。哲学家马歇尔·伯曼(Marshall Berman)认为,矛盾心理是生活在现代环境中的特有特征,现代环境“承诺我们冒险、权力、快乐、成长、自我和世界的转变,同时……威胁要摧毁我们所拥有的一切,我们所知道的一切,我们的一切。”(2)在洛夫克拉夫特的作品中,伯曼所识别的历史现代性特有的机遇和焦虑往往是通过外星人入侵新英格兰景观的破坏性潜力来探索的。正如迈克尔·塞勒(Michael Saler)所说,“洛夫克拉夫特的生活和小说最重要的遗产之一是,他不仅接受了幻灭,而且接受了差异。”(3)洛夫克拉夫特1931年的短篇小说《印斯茅斯的阴影》(The Shadow Over insmouth)将现代主义社会变革引发的种族焦虑变成了一个恐怖情节,并通过对这一情节的解决,揭示了一个作家正在研究和考虑对种族差异的一种同情的、尽管仍然非常矛盾的审美反应。这个故事对“他者性”及其来源的描述,虽然在内容上是超自然的,但却引发了一种社会政治焦虑,即种族间接触对白人男性主体的影响。《影子》的无名主人公是一个年轻的旅行者,他被神秘的印斯茅斯小镇迷住了。他最终发现的知识威胁到对人类状况的稳定理解,包括他自己。通过对居民的采访,对这座衰败城市的探索,以及对印斯茅斯神秘居民的观察,主人公逐渐意识到,镇上的居民一直在与水生外星种族杂交,导致了半人半兽的“鱼蛙”种群,最终长出了怪异的两栖动物外观,回到了海洋。…

An Aesthetics of the Given in Rei Terada's Looking Away Rei Terada, Looking Away: Phenomenality and Dissatisfaction, Kant to Adorno (Harvard University Press, 2009), Page 240, ISBN 0674032683. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] Philosophers have long determined perception to be the "weaker" faculty. The senses are unreliable, we are told, and require reason to distinguish between appearance and illusion. Reevaluating the status of phenomenality through chapters on Coleridge, Kant, Nietzsche, and Adorno, Rei Terada's Looking Away traces an attitude ("phenomenophilia") and a character ("the phenomenophile") to exemplify a kind of perception that resists or delays the subsumption of sensation under concepts, lingering in pure phenomenality as a "space before the acceptance of any perceived fact" (5). Through figures of lingering, tarrying, and the book's eponymous "looking away," Terada presents the cultivation of object perceptions that resist the transition to fact perception as a mode of dissatisfaction with the given. Expressing dissatisfaction with the given world is often met with charges of skepticism, decadence, or anti-science denialism. Terada frames her explorations of phenomenophilia in terms of the fact/value distinction-is vs. ought-and the slippery way in which fact perception ("is") quickly shades into a social demand to affirm those facts as normative facets of reality ("ought"). The subtle bias by which facts are deemed more valuable than mere appearances pushes observers to confer a positive value on the world "as is." The coercion to affirm the given is the central problem the book seeks to address. Terada suggests that balking at the pressure to accept natural and social facts as givens (and implicitly as norms) is an experience shared among artistic, queer, and utopian sensibilities for whom the world falls short or feels oddly unnatural and inhospitable. To resist the coercion to accept object perceptions as facts, the phenomenophile turns to ephemeral perceptions too fleeting or subjective to count as facts (e.g., optical illusions). Ephemeral perceptions cannot be shared (and so cannot be aesthetic in Kantian terms), but neither can they be commodified or appropriated for instrumental aims (65); hence ephemera become models for a non-coercive relation to objects. Though Terada carefully identifies these ephemeral sensations as non-aesthetic or "counteraesthetic" (7), she might also have described them as pertaining to Baumgarten's original definition and scope of aesthetics as the science of all sensations, not just those related to beauty and sublimity; or to Hume's brand of value-free empiricism (see p. 10-13). In the chapters on Coleridge and Nietzsche, Terada examines two figures conflicted about their respective phenomenophilia, and suggests that some of their guilt stems from a common 19th-century misreading of Kant. …
寺田玲:《望向远方:现象性与不满》,康德致阿多诺(哈佛大学出版社,2009),第240页,ISBN 0674032683。哲学家们早就认定知觉是一种“较弱”的能力。我们被告知,感官是不可靠的,需要理性来区分表象和幻觉。通过对柯勒律治、康德、尼采和阿多诺的章节重新评估现象性的地位,寺田玲的《望向远方》追溯了一种态度(“现象癖”)和一个人物(“现象癖”),以举例说明一种感知,这种感知抵制或延迟了感觉在概念下的接受,在纯粹的现象性中徘徊,作为“接受任何感知事实之前的空间”(5)。通过徘徊、停留的人物,以及书中的同名“望向远方”,寺田提出了对客体感知的培养,这种培养抵制了对事实感知的过渡,作为对给定的不满的一种模式。表达对给定世界的不满常常会被指责为怀疑主义、颓废主义或反科学的否认主义。寺田将她对现象学的探索构建在事实/价值的区别上——是与应该——以及事实感知(“是”)迅速转变为一种社会需求,将这些事实确认为现实的规范方面(“应该”)的微妙方式。人们认为事实比表象更有价值,这种微妙的偏见促使观察者对“现状”的世界赋予积极的价值。强制确认给定的是本书试图解决的中心问题。寺田认为,在接受自然和社会事实的压力下(并隐含地作为规范),是艺术、酷儿和乌托邦情感中共同的一种体验,对他们来说,世界是不够的,或者感觉奇怪地不自然和不友好。为了抵制将客体感知作为事实接受的强迫,现象学家转向了短暂的感知,这些感知太过短暂或主观,无法被视为事实(例如,视错觉)。短暂的感知不能被分享(因此在康德的术语中不能是美学的),但它们也不能被商品化或用于工具目的(65);因此,蜉蝣成为与对象的非强制关系的模型。虽然寺田仔细地将这些短暂的感觉识别为非审美或“反审美”(7),但她也可能将它们描述为与鲍姆加滕的原始定义和美学范围有关,美学是所有感觉的科学,而不仅仅是与美和崇高有关的科学;或者休谟的价值自由经验主义(见第10-13页)。在关于柯勒律治和尼采的章节中,寺田考察了两个人物在各自的现象癖上的矛盾,并指出他们的一些内疚源于19世纪对康德的普遍误解。…

I. Introduction Western imperialism began in the 15th century, as Spain and Portugal explored and colonized lands in the Americas and West Indies. The period of imperialist expansion continued for more than 400 years as Italy, Spain, Britain, Germany, Portugal, France, Belgium and even the United States continued land grabs for resources. Many theorists and historians regard the beginning of World War I as the climax of imperialism. However, aggressive desires to restore the idea of empire resurfaced in Nazi Germany and in the present-day United States, a nation that maintains an unchallenged hegemony through military and economic supremacy and technological and scientific advancement. The historical periods noted provide a framework for British imperialism, German fascism, and American capitalism. From the mid-nineteenth century onward, each of the ideologies influenced the creation of national identities that inspired patriotic fervor so volatile, it necessitated outward expansion and colonization of indigenous populations and cultures, the privileging of social groups, the redistribution of wealth and resources, the creation of government infrastructures, and the institutionalization of new political systems. In the late-nineteenth century, patterns of discrimination were enforced by British and German imperial rule and a common search for national consciousness. Britain's First Empire was comprised of colonies of settlers in Ireland, Wales, and the Americas, prior to the thirteen colonies achieving independence from British rule in 1783. The Second Empire of the Victorian Period was made up of elements of the First Empire as well as India. (1) Britain's success at creating and sustaining empire, particularly during the Victorian period, was a motivating factor that shaped and directed the course of distinct hegemonies of fascist Germany and capitalist America. Germany's short-lived colonization of Africa and the Pacific, and its eventual concession of many colonial settlements at the end of World War I, set the stage for the growth of fascism during the early 1930s and 1940s. The same patterns of discrimination enacted by British imperialists resurfaced in America in the early 20th century, as waves of immigrants endured hostility, alienation, and disenfrachisement from native-born Americans. Massive swells in immigrants and a growing cultural diversity antagonized conceptions of national unity. During World War II, animosity and hostility toward German and Japanese Americans led to resettlement, encampment, and other restrictive measures that enforced policies of discrimination. In a similar fashion, Asian and Arab Americans endured social and cultural displacement during the Korean and Vietnam wars, and Gulf Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Despite their ideological differences, British imperialism, German fascism, and American capitalism each directed cumulative energies toward establishing the threat of foreign and domestic antagonists effec
西方帝国主义始于15世纪,当时西班牙和葡萄牙在美洲和西印度群岛进行了探索和殖民。帝国主义的扩张时期持续了400多年,意大利、西班牙、英国、德国、葡萄牙、法国、比利时甚至美国都在继续争夺土地资源。许多理论家和历史学家认为第一次世界大战的开始是帝国主义的高潮。然而,在纳粹德国和今天的美国,一个通过军事和经济优势以及科技进步保持着无可挑战的霸权地位的国家,恢复帝国思想的侵略欲望重新出现。这些历史时期为英国帝国主义、德国法西斯主义和美国资本主义提供了一个框架。从19世纪中期开始,每一种意识形态都影响了民族认同的形成,激发了如此不稳定的爱国热情,它需要向外扩张和殖民土著人口和文化,社会群体的特权,财富和资源的再分配,政府基础设施的创建,以及新的政治制度的制度化。在19世纪后期,英国和德国的帝国统治以及对民族意识的共同追求,实施了歧视模式。在1783年从英国统治下独立出来的13个殖民地之前,英国第一帝国由爱尔兰、威尔士和美洲的殖民者组成。维多利亚时期的第二帝国是由第一帝国和印度的元素组成的。英国在建立和维持帝国方面的成功,特别是在维多利亚时期,是塑造和指导法西斯德国和资本主义美国各自的霸权路线的一个激励因素。德国在非洲和太平洋的短暂殖民,以及在第一次世界大战结束时对许多殖民地的最终让步,为20世纪30年代初和40年代法西斯主义的发展奠定了基础。20世纪初,英国帝国主义者制定的同样的歧视模式在美国重新出现,因为移民浪潮遭受了来自本土美国人的敌意、疏远和剥夺。大量涌入的移民和日益增长的文化多样性与民族团结的观念背道而驰。在第二次世界大战期间,对德裔和日裔美国人的仇恨和敌意导致了重新安置、营地和其他强制执行歧视政策的限制性措施。在朝鲜战争和越南战争以及伊拉克和阿富汗的海湾战争中,亚裔和阿拉伯裔美国人也经历了类似的社会和文化迁移。尽管意识形态存在差异,但英国帝国主义、德国法西斯主义和美国资本主义都将累积的能量用于建立影响各自国家主权的国内外对手的威胁。在这样做的过程中,这些意识形态被用来夸大民族主义的同情,使国内外对移民的不容忍政策合法化,并促进对外来影响的恐惧。无论是现实的威胁还是潜在的威胁,对手都象征着外来者与民族文化之间的意识形态紧张关系。塞缪尔·约翰逊曾把爱国主义描述为“恶棍最后的避难所”。(2)尽管约翰逊没有宣称爱国者是恶棍,但他批评了那些“假装爱国……他的话确实表明,爱国主义的崇高表达可能会成为霸权主义、破坏性和最终的本土主义。(3)本土主义情绪通过各种文化模式得以再现,并影响到国内的习惯和性情。正是本土主义的复制刺激了霸权形式的统治和霸权。当英国、美国和德国的文化向外投射他们的敌意,并将敌意投射到他们所认为的外国对手身上时,他们也组织了本土主义运动,以清除与这些外国影响有任何联系的国内少数群体。…

Maps ... are superimposed in such a way that each map finds itself modified in the following map, rather than finding its origin in the preceding one: from one map to the next, it is not a matter of searching for an origin, but of evaluating displacements. Every map is a redistribution of impasses and breakthroughs, of thresholds and enclosures, which necessarily go from bottom to top. There is not only a reversal of directions, but also a difference in nature: the unconscious no longer deals with persons and objects, but with trajectories and becomings.... --Gilles Deleuze (1) Disclaimer experiment, n. The action of trying anything, or putting it to proof; a test, trial; (2) the following article. The beautiful thing about the hard sciences (e.g., chemistry, physic, etc., and I mean no disrespect to those fields that fall outside of the common designation "hard sciences"), is the experiment. Or rather, more wonderful than even the experiment is the inherent acknowledgement that the scientist begins with only a hypothesis and that the evidence gathered sculpts the hopefully-publishable paper. The scientist cares not what path the evidence takes him or her, or whether or not his or her hypothesis was right in the first place. A successful scientist gets paid to evaluate the differences in his or her findings with the scientist's hypothesis. Scientists must reconcile each turn within a rhizome. This is the Scientific Method, the dominant form of scientific inquiry for five hundred or so years. This paper is an experiment testing a two-fold hypothesis. The two hypotheses are as follows: 1) a modified Scientific Method can be used effectively to conduct research in the field of English Literature, Critical Theory (Cultural Studies) and Human Sciences (as well as, I presume, every other social science) 2) this paper, which is an inquiry on maps will, in fact, function as a map. The two hypotheses may, however, be in fact one. A paper which acts like a Deleuzean map has similar properties to that of the Scientific Method: observation, hypothesis, experiment, conclusion. I, however, do not want to spend my time on this paper trying to employ the strict Scientific Method or trying to show similarities to it. I invoke the Scientific Method for the possibility it presents. Basically every paper in the field of English Literature has an observation, hypothesis (thesis), experiment (evidence) and a conclusion (they already resemble the Scientific Method). But how often does the writer prove his or her hypothesis incorrect? Never (or at least I have never encountered this). My aim in this paper is to 'experiment' with a new method of inquiry.

Desires Dissolvent: How Mina Loy Exceeds George Bataille 欲望溶剂:米娜·洛伊如何超越乔治·巴塔耶
Pub Date : 2010-11-01 DOI: 10.5840/JPHILNEPAL201061327

In a poem first published in 1923, Mina Loy describes the human ego as a "carnose horologe"--a fleshy, time--telling instrument. (1) While an ego is arguably circumscribed by flesh, it is not usually considered fleshy; Loy's use of "carnose" asks us to reconfigure the ego as inseparable from its body, and this demand jars against the definition of carnality as opposed to all things spiritual or intellectual. More specifically, carnality refers to the body as the seat of passions or appetites, proclivities sensual or sexual in nature. In Loy's writing, she frequently toys with the term carnality, its variants, and its extended meanings. "Mass Production on 14th Street" is a poem about the excesses of market capitalism; here Loy associates and aligns carnality with carnival, writing that the "iris circus of Industry" generates "orgies of orchid" among a foliage of mass-production: carnations tossed at a carnal caravan for Carnevale. (2) Loy employs a floral conceit that returns us repeatedly to the body: "iris" being both plant and centre of the eye, or locus of perception; "carnation" a crown-like flower whose name is associated with "coronation" and "incarnation." "Carnation" thus connotes the revered-becoming sovereign--and one of the most celebrated acts of humility in Western culture: Christ's decision to take up human form. But Loy's poem exhibits no deference to the venerable flower; tossed at a carnal caravan, these carnations are sacrificed to Loy's carnivalesque diction (circus, orgy, carnevale) and syntax, her deliberate repetition of sounds and word play. As Loy writes in a poem on Joyce: "The word made flesh" can "fee[d] on itself." (3) Loy does not associate the deific or sovereign with the act of communication; hers is a self-sufficient, secular view of the word. Loy's writing strives to embody language and explore the language of embodiment; the human subject frequently dissolves in the wake of her struggle with the physicalities of life and language. I am suggesting that Loy presents us with a dissolute self-a self disunited, unrestrained, and wanton--even as I am aware that there is a tacit, longstanding disagreement among critics as to whether Loy's writing articulates a self entire, one capable of transcendence, or a self mired in and sustained by the vicissitudes of the flesh. (4) My own sense is that Loy's presentation of the subject is fed by her fascination with human passions. This fascination underscores her understanding that the self is innately, endlessly divided--nothing akin to an inviolate whole. As such, Loy's alignment of carnality and the carnivalesque in "Mass Production" is not incidental, but integral to her oeuvre; for Loy, human appetites are often comical, even uproarious. In what follows, I will consider Loy's use of risibility--the desire to laugh--as it accompanies and extends her examinations of other desires such as sexuality and hunger. Like Loy, many modernist philosophers were preoccupied with laught
米娜·洛伊(Mina Loy)在1923年首次发表的一首诗中,将人类的自我描述为“carnose horloge”——一种肉乎乎的计时仪器。(1)虽然可以说自我受到肉体的限制,但它通常不被认为是肉体的;洛伊对“肉体”的使用要求我们重新配置自我,使其与身体不可分割,而这种要求与肉体的定义相抵触,肉体的定义与所有精神或智力的事物相对立。更具体地说,肉欲指的是身体作为激情或欲望的所在地,本质上是感性或性的倾向。在洛伊的作品中,她经常玩弄肉体这个词,它的变体,以及它的延伸含义。《14街的大规模生产》(Mass Production on 14th Street)是一首关于市场资本主义过度行为的诗;在这里,洛伊将肉欲与狂欢节联系起来,并将其联系起来,他写道,“工业的鸢尾花马戏团”在大规模生产的树叶中产生了“兰花的狂欢”:康乃馨被扔在狂欢节的肉欲车队里。(2)洛伊运用了一种花卉的自负,使我们不断地回到身体上:“虹膜”既是植物,又是眼睛的中心,或者是感知的中心;康乃馨是一种皇冠状的花,它的名字与“加冕”和“化身”联系在一起。因此,“康乃馨”意味着受人尊敬的君主——以及西方文化中最著名的谦卑行为之一:基督决定以人的形式出现。但是洛伊的诗没有表现出对这朵可敬的花的尊敬;这些康乃馨被扔在肉欲的大篷车上,被洛伊狂欢式的措辞(circus, orgy, carnevale)和语法、她刻意重复的声音和文字游戏所牺牲。正如洛伊在一首关于乔伊斯的诗中所写的那样:“成为肉体”这个词可以“自食其力”。(3) Loy不将神灵或君主与沟通行为联系起来;她对世界的看法是自给自足的、世俗的。洛伊的写作力求体现语言,探索体现语言;在她与生命和语言的物质斗争中,人类主体经常消失。我想说的是,洛伊呈现给我们的是一个放荡的自我——一个分裂的、不受约束的、放荡的自我——尽管我意识到,批评家们长期以来对洛伊的作品是表达了一个完整的自我,一个能够超越的自我,还是一个深陷并被肉体的沧桑所维持的自我,存在着一种默契的分歧。(4)我个人的感觉是,洛伊对这一主题的呈现是由她对人类激情的迷恋所滋养的。这种迷恋强调了她的理解,即自我是天生的,无休止的分裂——没有什么类似于一个不可侵犯的整体。因此,洛伊在《大规模生产》中对肉欲和狂欢的结合不是偶然的,而是她作品中不可或缺的一部分;对洛伊来说,人类的胃口常常是滑稽的,甚至是滑稽的。在接下来的文章中,我将考虑洛伊对可见性——笑的欲望——的运用,因为它伴随着并扩展了她对其他欲望的考察,比如性和饥饿。像洛伊一样,许多现代主义哲学家都全神贯注于笑;它的因果关系引起了尼采、柏格森和弗洛伊德等人的注意。他们的讨论对洛伊和她的许多同行的作品产生了显著的影响,其中温德姆·刘易斯的《野体》(1927)就是一个特别令人信服的例子。在她最著名的诗作《致乔安娜之歌》(Songs to Joannes, 1917)中,我们可以看到洛伊对笑的哲学的回应。在诗中,她将可见性和性描绘成通往狂喜的管道。在这样做的过程中,洛伊强调了尼采的哲学后裔之一,即乔治·巴塔耶的戒律。三十多岁时,洛伊写了《因塞尔》,在这部小说中,她对肉欲的兴趣并没有减弱,而是转向了方向。这本书是关于琼斯夫人的,她是一位住在巴黎的艺术家和艺术品经销商,她试图指导隐居和贫困的艺术家因塞尔,一个与超现实主义运动有密切联系的人物。这对夫妇被形容为小丑,一起说话,一起笑,一起吃。…

Art as Experience: A Deweyan Background to Charles Olson’s Esthetics 作为经验的艺术:查尔斯·奥尔森美学的杜威派背景

I: Charles Olson (1910-1970) was such a scholarly poet that the first critical monograph devoted to him, by Robert von Hallberg, carries the apt title Charles Olson: The Scholar's Art (1978). (1) Because Olson was an avid researcher--ferreting out Melville's annotated copies of Shakespeare, digging with gusto into the bowels of archives, and reading voraciously in a range of fields such as history, linguistics, geography, and archeology--and because, like Ezra Pound, he insisted on basing the truth claims in his poetry, essays, and letters on the fruits of his research, Olson's critics have tended to follow his own lead in discussing the many influences on his work. Taking their cues also from the prodigious labors of Olson scholars George Butterick and Ralph Maud, his critics have busied themselves with tracing the impact on his work of the huge library of texts he is known to have consulted. (2) Critical attention to Olson's reading, annotation, and advocacy of texts in this library has produced much admirable work; the time has come, though, for an opening out in the exploration of intellectual, esthetic, and political traditions from which he drew. It is important to move beyond trends of thought represented in his library, in order to measure him against other significant figures and movements. (3) This more expansive approach to Olson can free his work from the grip of a coterie that has persistently claimed it and can help present its acute insights, brilliant formulations, and methodological breakthroughs to a larger world. (4) One of the major modern philosophers whom Olson can fruitfully meet in dialogue is the pragmatist John Dewey (1859-1952). Although there is no mention of Dewey in Olson's published work, in the sources for his work identified by Butterick and Maud, or in the critical literature (aside from one significant contribution by fellow poet Robert Duncan, discussed below), Dewey was, during the Great Depression when Olson was in his twenties and acquiring his intellectual proclivities, a towering figure in American philosophy and education and one of the most prominent left--leaning intellectuals. For a young man whose political, pedagogical, and esthetic interests had a populist and pragmatist flavor, exposure to Dewey would have been unavoidable. In early 1931, at the same time as the appearance of the "Objectivists" issue of Poetry (edited by Louis Zukofsky), Dewey gave the William James Lectures at Harvard (published in 1934 as Art as Experience), formulating a full-fledged pragmatist esthetics that is in many ways consonant with Objectivist poetics. (5) Olson did not attend Dewey's lectures nor did he read at the time the issue of Poetry that launched the Objectivist movement, but his debt to Objectivism has been long established. Likewise, his explicit reliance on Alfred North Whitehead's 1929 Process and Reality has received ample treatment. (6) In order to assess fully what Olson took from the poetry and theory of
查尔斯·奥尔森(1910-1970)是一位学术诗人,罗伯特·冯·哈尔伯格为他写的第一部评论专著取名为《查尔斯·奥尔森:学者的艺术》(1978)。(1)因为奥尔森是一个狂热的研究员,探测出梅尔维尔的带注释的莎士比亚的副本,兴致勃勃地挖内部档案,考察,还研读等一系列领域历史、语言学、地理、考古,因为,像庞德,他坚持要把真理在他的诗歌,散文,和信件在他的研究的成果,奥尔森的批评者往往按照自己的领导在讨论许多影响他的工作。从研究奥尔森的学者乔治·巴特里克(George Butterick)和拉尔夫·莫德(Ralph Maud)付出的巨大努力中,他的批评者也得到了启发,他们忙着追踪奥尔森所参考的大量文本对他作品的影响。(2)对奥尔森的阅读、注释和对该图书馆文本的倡导的批判性关注产生了许多令人钦佩的工作;然而,现在是时候开始探索他所借鉴的知识、美学和政治传统了。为了将他与其他重要人物和运动进行比较,重要的是要超越他的藏书所代表的思想趋势。(3)对奥尔森的这种更广泛的研究方法,可以将他的作品从坚持主张它的小圈子中解放出来,并有助于将其敏锐的见解、出色的构思和方法论上的突破呈现给更大的世界。(4)奥尔森能在对话中收获颇丰的主要现代哲学家之一是实用主义者约翰·杜威(1859-1952)。尽管在奥尔森出版的作品中,在巴特里克和莫德确定的他的作品来源中,或者在批评文献中,都没有提到杜威(除了诗人罗伯特·邓肯的一个重要贡献,下文将讨论),但在大萧条时期,当奥尔森20多岁并获得他的智力倾向时,杜威是美国哲学和教育界的一个杰出人物,也是最杰出的左倾知识分子之一。对于一个在政治、教学和审美方面都有民粹主义和实用主义色彩的年轻人来说,接触杜威是不可避免的。1931年初,在《诗歌》(由路易斯·祖可夫斯基编辑)的“客观主义”问题出现的同时,杜威在哈佛大学发表了《威廉·詹姆斯讲座》(1934年以《艺术即经验》出版),形成了一种成熟的实用主义美学,在许多方面与客观主义诗学一致。奥尔森没有听过杜威的讲座,也没有读过当时引发客观主义运动的《诗歌》杂志,但他对客观主义的贡献早已确立。同样,他对阿尔弗雷德·诺斯·怀特黑德1929年的《过程与现实》的明确依赖也得到了充分的对待。(6)为了充分评价奥尔森从这一时期的诗歌和理论中吸取了什么,我们需要用杜威的美学来补充祖可夫斯基的诗学和怀特海的过程哲学。此外,了解杜威对于衡量奥尔森作为黑山学院最终院长的关键作用是必不可少的,黑山学院是一个专门以杜威教育原则为模型的机构。不过,从最基本的意义上说,杜威可以被视为奥尔森的实用主义先驱,奥尔森试图将艺术和经验结合在一个更全面的文化模式中,而不是二战后盛行的等级和异化的文化模式。和杜威一样,奥尔森强调直接经验比接受知识更重要;比起文化机构的规范美学,他更看重白话创作的粗糙、未经雕琢的品质;相信经验和艺术的教学效果;他认为艺术形式是由充分参与的经验产生的。接下来的文章特别探讨了使奥尔森和杜威进入对话的三个主题:1)将艺术作为经验纳入奥尔森诗歌和诗学产生的客观主义背景中所获得的收益;2)这些(和其他)思想家赋予“经验”概念的意义,以及它的丧失和试图重新获得如何支配他们的工作;3)他们共同坚信,只有重新关注感官,才能重新获得经验。这种信念不仅影响了奥尔森之后的一些诗人,也影响了整个表演艺术运动。...

The concept of measure embraces music and mathematics, law and jurisprudence, and such moral and ethical ideals as moderation and temperance. The word, in both its noun and verb forms, encompasses a wide range of meanings. Among the various definitions that the dictionary provides for the noun, some deal with proportionality and limits (an adequate or due portion; a moderate degree; a fixed or suitable limit; the dimensions of something being measured; an instrument for measuring; and a system for standard units of meaning), some with music and poetry (a melody, tune, or dance; rhythmic structure or movement; a metrical unit, foot; a grouping of a specified number of musical beats located between two vertical lines on a staff), and some with actions or legislative acts (a step planned or taken as a mean to an end; a proposed legislative act). The latent connection, implicit in the various meanings of the word, between poetry and legislation or government recalls Shelley's maxim in A Defence of Poetry that "[p]oets are the unacknowledged legislators of the World." (1) Poetry employs measure, but its relationship to the concept of measure differs from that of other disciplines and other forms of discourse. Like those other forms of discourse, poetry can be seen as a way of approaching, grasping, and communicating experience, truth, or knowledge; and though to the popular imagination poetry is sometimes thought of as vague, to the extent that it employs measure with precision it is at least potentially more rather than less precise than other forms of discourse. Not only does poetry employ measure, it is wholly taken up with measuring, and, in a sense, nothing more than a measuring process of a certain kind. The eighteenth century referred to verses as numbers and considered music and poetry to be a kind of counting without being aware that one was counting. This is as much to say that, in addition to presenting and representing the world, the task of the poet involves measuring one thing against another, putting things in proportion, judging, evaluating, and criticizing. It is not, of course, that the world is merely given to the poet: poetry invention; but this too involves measuring and cannot be separated from measuring. Ultimately, poetry employs measure in order to measure. The same, of course, could be said of the sciences, but poetry is obviously distinct from the sciences in a number of ways. For one thing, the measure it employs is musical and affective, not merely mathematical (if poetry involves counting without being aware that one is counting, it also, of course, involves feeling); and for another, in contrast to the sciences, poetry has no positive knowledge to impart and no content distinct from its form.

尺度的概念包括音乐和数学,法律和法学,以及节制和节制等道德和伦理理想。这个词,无论是名词形式还是动词形式,都包含了广泛的含义。在词典为名词提供的各种定义中,有些涉及比例和限制(适当或适当的部分;中等程度;限制:固定的或适当的限制;尺寸:被测量的某物的尺寸;测量仪器:测量的仪器;以及一套标准意义单位的系统),有些与音乐和诗歌有关(旋律、曲调或舞蹈;节奏结构或运动;尺:格律单位,尺;一组特定数量的音乐节拍,位于五线谱上的两条竖线之间,有些带有动作或立法行为(为达到目的而计划或采取的步骤;提议的立法法案)。诗歌与立法或政府之间的潜在联系,隐含在这个词的各种含义中,让人想起雪莱在《为诗辩护》中的格言:“诗人是世界上未被承认的立法者。”(1)诗歌使用尺度,但它与尺度概念的关系不同于其他学科和其他话语形式。与其他话语形式一样,诗歌可以被视为一种接近、把握和交流经验、真理或知识的方式;尽管在大众的想象中,诗歌有时被认为是模糊的,但在某种程度上,它使用了精确的度量它至少比其他形式的话语更精确。诗歌不仅运用尺度,而且完全是一种尺度,在某种意义上,它只不过是一种特定的尺度过程。18世纪把诗句称为数字,认为音乐和诗歌是一种计数,而没有意识到自己在计数。这也就是说,诗人的任务除了表现和再现世界之外,还包括用一种事物来衡量另一种事物,把事物按比例排列,判断、评价和批评。当然,世界并不仅仅是给诗人的:诗歌的发明;但这也涉及测量,不能与测量分开。最终,诗歌是为了衡量而衡量。当然,科学也是如此,但诗歌在许多方面明显不同于科学。首先,它所采用的尺度是音乐的和情感的,而不仅仅是数学的(如果诗歌涉及到计数而没有意识到一个人在计数,它当然也涉及到感觉);另一方面,与科学相比,诗歌没有可以传授的积极知识,也没有与形式不同的内容。在诗歌中,形式永远不能与内容分开,因为诗歌所衡量的,除了某种内容之外,就是它自己的形式,或者换句话说,就是它本身。通过对语言进行测量,诗歌把话语的工具变成了某种音乐的东西,一种既能测量自身也能测量世界的东西,正是这种测量的双重能力使诗歌区别于所有其他的话语模式或形式。不过,虽然形式永远无法分开内容——这意味着诗歌形式和诗意的测量之前不存在的内容或诗人的参与等等,将成为诗的内容(诗意的测量和被测量的互惠关系,存在辩证),问题仍然在于,诗歌的特殊性不仅在其形式,还在于其内容(即使是在抽象)。从某种意义上说,答案显然是否定的。诗歌有权把世界作为自己的研究范围,诗人写一台蒸汽机或一个死于癌症的人(这个词只能在与诗歌联系在一起时启发式地使用),就像工程师解释蒸汽机的机制或医生找到对抗疾病的方法一样合适。…

The word, in both its noun and verb forms, encompasses a wide range of meanings. Among the various definitions that the dictionary provides for the noun, some deal with proportionality and limits (an adequate or due portion; a moderate degree; a fixed or suitable limit; the dimensions of something being measured; an instrument for measuring; and a system for standard units of meaning), some with music and poetry (a melody, tune, or dance; rhythmic structure or movement; a metrical unit, foot; a grouping of a specified number of musical beats located between two vertical lines on a staff), and some with actions or legislative acts (a step planned or taken as a mean to an end; a proposed legislative act). The latent connection, implicit in the various meanings of the word, between poetry and legislation or government recalls Shelley's maxim in A Defence of Poetry that \"[p]oets are the unacknowledged legislators of the World.\" (1) Poetry employs measure, but its relationship to the concept of measure differs from that of other disciplines and other forms of discourse. Like those other forms of discourse, poetry can be seen as a way of approaching, grasping, and communicating experience, truth, or knowledge; and though to the popular imagination poetry is sometimes thought of as vague, to the extent that it employs measure with precision it is at least potentially more rather than less precise than other forms of discourse. Not only does poetry employ measure, it is wholly taken up with measuring, and, in a sense, nothing more than a measuring process of a certain kind. The eighteenth century referred to verses as numbers and considered music and poetry to be a kind of counting without being aware that one was counting. This is as much to say that, in addition to presenting and representing the world, the task of the poet involves measuring one thing against another, putting things in proportion, judging, evaluating, and criticizing. It is not, of course, that the world is merely given to the poet: poetry invention; but this too involves measuring and cannot be separated from measuring. Ultimately, poetry employs measure in order to measure. The same, of course, could be said of the sciences, but poetry is obviously distinct from the sciences in a number of ways. For one thing, the measure it employs is musical and affective, not merely mathematical (if poetry involves counting without being aware that one is counting, it also, of course, involves feeling); and for another, in contrast to the sciences, poetry has no positive knowledge to impart and no content distinct from its form. Form can never be separated from content in poetry because what poetry measures, in addition to a content of some kind, is its own form--or in other words, itself.
