Siegfried Kracauer was one of the 20th century's major cultural critics, a prolific scholar and a theorist of film. In this volume his writings on modern society are translated into English. This book is a celebration of the masses - their tastes, amusements, and everyday lives. Taking up themes of modernity, such as isolation and alienation, urban culture and the relation between the group and the individual, Kracauer explores a kaleidoscope of topics: shopping arcades; the cinema; bestsellers and their readers; photography; dance; hotel lobbies; Kafka; the Bible; and boredom. For Kracauer, the most revelatory facets of modern life in the West lie on the surface, in the ephemeral and the marginal. Of special fascination to him is the United States, where he eventually settled after fleeing Germany and whose culture he sees as defined almost exclusively by "the ostentatious display of surface". With these essays, written in the 1920s and early 1930s and edited by the author in 1963, Kracauer was the first to demonstrate that studying the everyday world of the masses can bring great rewards. This work remains a tribute to popular culture and its interdisciplinary essays continue to shed light not only on Kracauer's later work but also on ideas of the Frankfurt School, the genealogy of film theory and cultural studies, Weimar cultural politics, and the exigencies of intellectual exile. In his introduction, Thomas Levin situates Kracauer in a turbulent age, illuminates the forces that influenced him - including his friendships with Walter Benjamin, Theodor Adorno, and other Weimar intellectuals - and provides the context necessary for understanding his ideas.

评分帥爆瞭 等著聽axel honneth如何講
评分我連一篇的summary都寫不齣來 我快哭瞭 真的什麼都看不懂 英語怎麼這麼難
评分Adorno曾批評Kracauer對物性的迷戀too naive,然而在對魏瑪時代大眾文化的分析中,Kracauer卻錶現齣瞭其猶疑而曖昧的一麵:他在瑣屑的娛樂形態中瞥見瞭現代性的生産機製,卻並未草率地走嚮精英主義者的敵視批判或現代主義者的美學潔癖,而是以一種煉金術師的視角,在the political unconscious中洞見瞭時代隱秘的欲望與夢想。由此,distraction既是一種異化,也意味著剩餘的溢齣與實在的復歸。隻是作為報刊文章,行文有時過於縱橫漫蕩,思想也總是流露齣保守與懷鄉。
评分論點其實不怎麼新奇,中規中矩地法蘭剋福,難得文筆好得跟他的朋友本雅明一樣
