Abstract

This essay interweaves Stefan Morawski’s critique of postmodernism and Jean-François Lyotard’s expression of the postmodern sublime as “the presentation of the unpresentable” in a wide-ranging appraisal of the culmination of the postmodern age. This juxtaposition finds expression in the concept of the two modes of a negative sublime: the negative dynamical sublime exemplified in the stockpiles of nuclear warheads scattered widely across the globe, and the negative mathematical sublime represented by the omniscient electronic informational web that increasingly entangles individuals and societies.
后现代主义的崇高困境。向S.M.致敬
本文将斯特凡·莫拉斯基对后现代主义的批判和让-弗朗索瓦·利奥塔对后现代崇高的表达交织在一起,作为“不可呈现的呈现”,对后现代时代的高潮进行了广泛的评价。这种并列在消极崇高的两种模式的概念中得到了表达:消极的动力崇高体现在广泛分布在全球各地的核弹头库存中,消极的数学崇高体现在无所不知的电子信息网络中,它日益将个人和社会纠缠在一起。
