"Five Faces of Modernity" is a series of semantic and cultural biographies of words that have taken on special significance in the last century and a half or so: "modernity," "avant-garde," "decadence," "kitsch," and "postmodernism." The concept of modernity--the notion that we, the living, are different and somehow superior to our predecessors and that our civilization is likely to be succeeded by one even superior to ours--is a relatively recent Western invention and one whose time may already have passed, if we believe its postmodern challengers. Calinescu documents the rise of cultural modernity and, in tracing the shifting senses of the five terms under scrutiny, illustrates the intricate value judgments, conflicting orientations, and intellectual paradoxes to which it has given rise.

"Five Faces of Modernity" attempts to do for the foundations of the modernist critical lexicon what earlier terminological studies have done for such complex categories as "classicism," "baroque," "romanticism," "realism," or "symbolism" and thereby fill a gap in literary scholarship. On another, more ambitious level, Calinescu deals at length with the larger issues, dilemmas, ideological tensions, and perplexities brought about by the assertion of modernity.

导言： 现代性是一个很复杂的概念，首先现代性意味着对传统的批评，并对立于资产阶级文明（及其理性、功利、进步理想），而且对立于它自身，因为它把自己设想为一种新的传统或权威。 在这其中现代的浪漫主义是对古典主义（永恒的超验的无时间性）的消解。而且审美现代性意味着...

aesthetic modernity as "a crisis concept involved in a threefold dialectical opposition," and modernity as "the name of a cultural family resemblance"

仍然是一本不错的学习设计或是艺术相关书籍

a very easy read. His analysis on revolutionary politics and Utopia is esp. relevant to regard the modernity in China.
