Abstract

This essay studies the connection between attention and redemption in the poetry of Thomas A. Clark. It discusses the possibility of using Simone Weil’s religious philosophy to interpret Clark’s understanding of attention as ‘waiting’. It argues that while there are affinities between Clark and Weil, Clark’s poetic practice also reveals a resistance to the ascetic extremes which attention assumes in Weil’s philosophy. To think through the difference between attention as method and style, the essay then draws on the failures of Descartes’ Meditations in order to argue that only a practical, that is to say, stylistic, engagement with attention will allow for the radical attention that Weil sought but could not achieve.

本文研究了托马斯·a·克拉克诗歌中关注与救赎的关系。讨论了用西蒙娜·韦尔的宗教哲学来解释克拉克对注意力的理解为“等待”的可能性。本文认为,虽然克拉克与韦尔之间存在着相似之处,但克拉克的诗歌实践也揭示了一种对韦尔哲学中关注的禁欲主义极端的抵制。为了思考注意力作为方法和风格之间的区别,这篇文章接着借鉴了笛卡尔《沉思记》的失败,以证明只有一种实用的,也就是说,风格上的,与注意力的接触,才会允许韦尔寻求但无法实现的激进注意力。
