Review
The famous philosopher and author holds a compelling discussion on the evolution and cultural meanings of collecting and list-making.
Product Description
Best-selling author and philosopher Umberto Eco is currently resident at the Louvre, and his chosen theme of study is "the vertigo of lists." Reflecting on this enormous trove of human achievements, in his lyrical intellectual style he has embarked on an investigation of the phenomenon of cataloging and collecting. This book, featuring lavish reproductions of artworks from the Louvre and other world-famous collections, is a philosophical and artistic sequel to Eco’s recent acclaimed books, History of Beauty and On Ugliness, books in which he delved into the psychology, philosophy, history, and art of human forms. Eco is a modern-day Diderot, and here he examines the Western mind’s predilection for list-making and the encyclopedic. His central thesis is that in Western culture a passion for accumulation is recurring: lists of saints, catalogues of plants, collections of art. This impulse has recurred through the ages from music to literature to art. Eco refers to this obsession itself as a "giddiness of lists" but shows how in the right hands it can be a "poetics of catalogues." From medieval reliquaries to Andy Warhol’s compulsive collecting, Umberto Eco reflects in his inimitably inspiring way on how such catalogues mirror the spirit of their times.
Umberto Eco, semiotician at the University of Bologna, is widely known as one of the finest living authors whose best-selling novels include The Name of the Rose, Foucault’s Pendulum, The Island of the Day Before, and Baudolino.
都说翁贝托·艾柯是整个欧洲读书最多的作家。《无限的清单》这本书充分展示了他惊人的阅读量。从《荷马史诗》到歌德的《浮士德》、普鲁斯特的《在斯万家那边》,从莎士比亚到乔伊斯、博尔赫斯——包括他自己,艾柯旁征博引,几乎涵盖了整个欧洲文学史。不仅如此,书中还列...
评分《无限的清单》原文Vertigine Della Lista直译应该是The Vertigo of Lists,而事实上在翻阅书里头各式各样的名单时,很难不让人感到眩晕。 从作者翁贝托·艾柯的〈导论〉可以清楚了解这本书的由来:“罗浮宫邀请我挑选一个主题来筹办一系列会议、展览、公开朗读、音乐会、电影...
评分几乎每个普通读书人都曾尝试摘录成百上千自以为有用的句子或图片,然后任其被后续的积累封存。少数以学者或研究家自居的别有用心者会采用某种方式将其排列整理,试图从自创的谱系中发现不一样的东西。这其中有个别人深谙清单编制技巧,结合少量带有引导性的原创成分编纂成集,...
评分这两天刚学会一个新词“负面清单”,这份自贸区清单的多寡与开放的程度成反比。而正面清单,这时候反倒成了一种束缚,它只规定了哪些事情是可以做的,规定之外还有着无限的可能。所以,从张之洞的书目答问到施蛰存推荐庄子文选,不免引来鲁迅先生的不满。也可见清单之难。 但...
