摘要/Abstract

摘要： 审美政治是文学研究的重要维度。阿甘本对奥斯维辛大屠杀之后的生命政治反思，比较集中地体现在“集中营”“活死人”和“见证”三个重要维度。首先，惨绝人寰的奥斯维辛集中营不啻为纳粹至高权力制造“例外状态”的物质化空间。其次，集中营里“活死人”是阿甘本“牲人”系列的重要表征和“赤裸生命”的极端形象。最后，奥斯维辛大屠杀之后的“见证”，意味着“剩余”的创伤记忆与“幸存”表达等问题。阿甘本以关注生命政治的姿态，凸显了诗学正义和批判美学取向。他关于后奥斯维辛的审美政治反思，丰富了当代西方左翼思想的文艺理论空间。

Abstract: Aesthetic politics is an important dimension of literature research. Agamben’s reflection on biopolitics after Auschwitz massacre is mainly embodied in three important dimensions: “concentration camp”, “living dead” and “witness”. Firstly, the brutality of Auschwitz creates material space for an “exceptional state” for Nazi supremacy. Secondly, the “living dead” in the concentration camp is an important representation of Agamben’s “homo sacer” series and the extreme image of “naked life”. Thirdly, “witness” after Auschwitz massacre means “residual” traumatic memory and “surviving” expressions and other issues. With the attitude of paying attention to biopolitics, Agamben highlights the orientation of poetic justice and critical aesthetics. His reflection on aesthetic politics after Auschwitz has enriched the literary theory space of contemporary western left-wing thought.

Key words: post-Auschwitz, the concentration camp, “living dead”, witness, aesthetic politics
