具体描述
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.

评分 评分 评分丑的第一映像，来自小时美术课本后页那些达利的画。当时真不知道，为什么画成这样，为什么会有人要看。 丑的印象还来自于 那些类似 标准时代 的雕塑。被抽去了比例和尊严，今人生厌。 显然，我明白不了，美就是丑，丑就是美的道理。但看到作者说，再撒旦堕落前，他应该是最美...
评分美有标准，但丑的形式却是无穷无尽。继《美的历史》后，翁贝托•艾柯（Umberto Ec）大师又一部震惊全球的巨作，《丑的历史》谈的丑不再是美的附属品，而是恢弘地呈现“全面的丑”。 人们对于“美”会自然而然的产生倾慕，并提出了许多理论替美下意义，对于丑的事物，却由心中...
用户评价
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。

评分集丑恶之大成
评分downside: 材料和分析仅限于西方世界
评分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
