丑有很多种,因为丑而“自挂东南枝”的人却很少,“东施效颦而可厌,无盐刻画以难堪,此女之丑者。”东施虽丑,却冥冥中保了命。 曹雪芹有诗言:“一代倾城逐浪花,吴宫空自忆儿家。效颦莫笑东村女,头白西边尚浣纱。” 王昭君很美,因为不肯花钱给宫廷画师毛延寿P图,结果画了...
评分《丑的历史》有网友说老早收到了,讲收到的书品相交关好。我5月24日在卓越下的这笔订单,31日中午收到,与第二次调换的《时间的故事》一起送来。精装书品相出人意料的漂亮——快递员说,这两本精装都从苏州库房调拨而来呢,他不知道的是这两本书都是Viking兄编辑滴。 对于这...
评分在《美的历史》之后,艾柯再推新书,剖析世人对“丑”之成见,颠覆传统的审美观。《丑的历史》不是简单的图像集合,而是会聚了艾柯的美学思索。《丑的历史》举凡恐怖、受难、死亡、魔鬼、启示录、怪物、凶兆、诙谐、猥亵、巫术、撒旦主义、虐待狂、媚俗……无奇不有,无所不...

In the mold of his acclaimed History of Beauty, renowned cultural critic Umberto Eco’s On Ugliness is an exploration of the monstrous and the repellant in visual culture and the arts. What is the voyeuristic impulse behind our attraction to the gruesome and the horrible? Where does the magnetic appeal of the sordid and the scandalous come from? Is ugliness also in the eye of the beholder? Eco’s encyclopedic knowledge and captivating storytelling skills combine in this ingenious study of the Ugly, revealing that what we often shield ourselves from and shun in everyday life is what we’re most attracted to subliminally. Topics range from Milton’s Satan to Goethe’s Mephistopheles; from witchcraft and medieval torture tactics to martyrs, hermits, and penitents; from lunar births and disemboweled corpses to mythic monsters and sideshow freaks; and from Decadentism and picturesque ugliness to the tacky, kitsch, and camp, and the aesthetics of excess and vice. With abundant examples of painting and sculpture ranging from ancient Greek amphorae to Bosch, Brueghel, and Goya among others, and with quotations from the most celebrated writers and philosophers of each age, this provocative discussion explores in-depth the concepts of evil, depravity, and darkness in art and literature.
方所看到的原版大书里面的图文比我读的小中文译本震撼很多,整个压抑感爆炸。不过文献好多,全英文我也是啃不动的。。。有得有失,译本把很多原著文献翻得不够味道是一定,不过单看译本多而不少还是有收获
评分downside: 材料和分析仅限于西方世界
评分蹲在Tate Britain 读完的,有关中译本撕逼得一塌糊涂,无奈看不懂意大利语,读 Alastair McEwen 的英译本也不错,好歹是Umberto Eco 指定的翻译。
评分美丑观念随时代及文化而变化,价值观也一样。比如歌星搁古代就是卖唱的,演员搁以前就是卖笑的,什么琴棋书画唱歌跳舞现在叫才艺,以前只有青楼妓女才学。
评分完美
