Abstract:
Jacques Rancière and J. M. Coetzee, exact contemporaries, are both interested the worker’s access to aesthetic experience. In Rancière’s case, this involves looking backward to the fact that nineteenth-century workers were able to squeeze time from their working lives for art and literature. In Coetzee’s case, however, this problem of distributing aesthetic sensibility turns out to be a matter of looking forward in history, and of his own practice. How is he to write in a way that does not unfairly exempt him from work?
摘要:雅克-朗西埃(Jacques Rancière)和J.M.科兹(J. M. Coetzee)是同时代的人物,他们都对工人获得审美体验的途径感兴趣。在朗西埃看来,这涉及到回顾十九世纪工人能够从工作生活中挤出时间来欣赏艺术和文学的事实。然而,在科兹的作品中,审美情感的分配问题则变成了一个向前看历史和他自己的实践的问题。他该如何写作,才能不失公允地将自己从工作中解放出来?
期刊介绍:
New Literary History focuses on questions of theory, method, interpretation, and literary history. Rather than espousing a single ideology or intellectual framework, it canvasses a wide range of scholarly concerns. By examining the bases of criticism, the journal provokes debate on the relations between literary and cultural texts and present needs. A major international forum for scholarly exchange, New Literary History has received six awards from the Council of Editors of Learned Journals.
