摘要

1800年左右,专业化或劳动分工定义了欧洲经济。歌德、席勒和早期德国浪漫主义者等德国文学作家对消费和生产的概念联系的文化反应是众所周知的。但其他的经典作家,如E.T.A.霍夫曼,在古典主义和浪漫主义思想方面被误解了。本文概述了当代作家对专业化的态度,特别是1800年前后对消费文化的态度。然后,它将对霍夫曼的故事Der Sandmann(1816)的细读融入了这一历史背景中。消费主义是霍夫曼创造力的源泉,也是他批判的主题。但这并不是他的艺术的反概念。霍夫曼的文学作品通过一种内在的讽刺形式实现了对消费的批判,这种讽刺形式在文学中作为一种自觉的商品而存在,没有超越或一些理论上的(黑格尔)克服。因此,本文的最后一部分询问我们如何从理论上描述霍夫曼的立场,并批判性地借鉴了20世纪盖伊·德伯德的思想。

Consumption, Creativity, and Authors around 1800: The Case of E. T. A. Hoffmann
ABSTRACT Specialization, or the division of labour, defined European economies around 1800. The cultural response of German literary writers such as Goethe, Schiller, and the Early German Romantics to the conceptual nexus of consumption and production is well known. But other canonical writers, such as E. T. A. Hoffmann, have been misunderstood in relation to classical-cum-Romantic thought. This essay offers an overview of contemporary authors’ attitudes towards specialization, and to consumer culture around 1800 specifically. It then embeds a close reading of Hoffmann’s story Der Sandmann (1816) into that historical context. Consumerism is the source of Hoffmann’s creativity and becomes the subject of his critique. But it is not the counter-concept of his art. Hoffmann’s literary works achieve their critique of consumption through an immanent form of irony that is enacted within literature as a self-conscious commodity, without transcendence or some theoretical (Hegelian) overcoming. Thus the final part of this article asks how we might describe Hoffmann’s position theoretically, drawing critically upon the twentieth-century thought of Guy Debord.
