摘要
摘要:通过面向对象本体的视角来审视James Agee大萧条时期的史诗《Let Us Now Praise Famous Men》,会产生新的见解。OOO和Agee的文本都培养了一种道德倾向,这种倾向表现为对日常物品进行持续甚至强迫性的分类。尽管阿吉对物质世界采取了明显的以人为中心的方法——OOO会以人类中心主义者的身份拒绝这种取向——但将这篇文章与这种哲学一起阅读,就会发现清单作为一种意识形态强大形式的伦理潜力。
“Fragments of cloth, bits of cotton, lumps of earth”: Object-Oriented Lists in Let Us Now Praise Famous Men
Abstract:New insights emerge when James Agee’s Depression-era epic Let Us Now Praise Famous Men is considered through the lens of Object-Oriented Ontology. Both OOO and Agee’s text cultivate an ethical disposition that manifests itself as a sustained and even compulsive attention to cataloguing everyday objects. Despite Agee’s distinctly human-centered approach to the material world—an orientation that OOO would reject as anthropocentrist—reading this text alongside this philosophy reveals the ethical potential of the list as an ideologically powerful form.
