摘要
本雅明的意义集中体现在对现代性问题的思考,他的灵韵理论表面上揭示了艺术由传统向现代的转变,其实是披露了现代性的大众文化特点:一体化和程式化;他对德意志哀悼剧以及波德莱尔、卡夫卡和普鲁斯特等的阐释,又进一步揭示了先锋派的固有特征:形式游离出内容之外。这深刻揭示了现代性的两种文化形态:其一,不满于现实,进而将另一种理性注入到现实中;其二,认同于现实,任凭现实给出意义认同。这两种文化形态组成了现代性文化的整个景观,它们带有着其各自的建构性和破坏性,这就将文化自觉问题重又提了出来。当今时代的文化自觉势必要在现代性文化的形态特征中寻得其用武之地。
Walter Benjamin＇ s meditation on modernity is the most significant in his theory, and his concept of aura apparently il- luminates the transformation from traditional art toward modern one but essentially reveals the characteristics of popular culture as integration and formularization. His interpretation of the tragic drama, Baudelaire, Kafka, and Proust further exposes the nature of the avant - garde as a form going beyond the content. This illumination depicts two cultural patterns of modernity ： discontent with reality that leads to injection of rationality into reality, and identification with reality that leads to acknowledge the random meaning from reality. These two patterns comprise the cultural vision of modernity, and both contain their own constructive and destructive capacity. The issue of cultural self - consciousness is thus re - problematizedd, and the paper argues that this self - consciousness will perform its functions in the characteristics of contemporary cultural of modernity.
