<p class="ql-block ql-indent-1"><b>英语选段:</b></p><p class="ql-block ql-indent-1">Adam Geczy and Vicky Karaminas argue that the influence of Walter Benjamin on fashion studies lies in his idea of fashion as elaborated (详细说明)in the Arcades Project《拱廊项目》: fashion is inextricably bound up with (紧密联系) modern culture and it is the most specific manifestation (宣言)of capitalisms will-to-change - the influence of Karl Marx is most direct here. Fashion style and sensibility (敏感性)are, for Benjamin, internal and fundamental(基础性的) to modern culture. Dress is not only an attribute (特征)of class recognition and aspiration(欲望), but also a pervasive and persistent statement of temporality(瞬时性). This temporality, as Geczy and Karaminas discuss, is connected to the way in which modernity needs to maintain the semblance (外表)of change. Such change is not only economic but also narratalogical(叙事性的), because modernity is always both subverting (破坏性)and improving(修补性)upon history. Thus fashion has to be seen as a tissue of historical references that are avowed (言说性)yet also repressed(压抑性) in the name of the current and the new Benjamins impact on fashion studies also resides in (奠基于)his seminal(深邃的) insights into media and representation Geczy and Karaminas note that Benjamins notion of reproducibility (再生性) and loss of aura(灵晕) in the much-studied essay ‘The Work of Art in the Age of Mecchanical Reproducibility’, can be of considerable profit to fashion studies. One point in particular is the way in which aural is reinvested(再生) or redeemedd through the proliferation(增加) of reproduction, perpetuating presence and disirability. They argue that the representation of fashion in fantasy environments and against the armature of celebrity is one of the drivers of fashion industry. By engaging in a cross-pollination (授粉) with art and histoy, in the past two decates high end fashion has engendered(产生) a new relation to time.</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p> <p class="ql-block"><b>导读笔记:</b></p><p class="ql-block"> 亚当·格策(Adam Geczy)和维基·卡拉米纳斯(Vicky Karaminas)认为,瓦尔特·本雅明(Walter Benjamin)对时尚研究的影响集中体现在《拱廊项目》中关于时尚的阐述:时尚与现代文化紧密相连,是资本主义意欲变革的最具体的表现,卡尔·马克思的影响在这里最为直接。对本雅明来说,时尚风格和敏感性是现代文化的内在而基础的部分。服装不仅是阶级认同和渴望的特征,而且是时间性的普遍而持久的表述。格策和卡拉米纳斯讨论的时间性与现代性需要保持变化的假象相联系。这种变化不仅仅是经济上的,也是叙事性的,因为现代性总是在颠覆和改进历史。因此,时尚必须被视为历史参考的一种纽带,它们被公开承认,但也因当下和新的名义而被压抑。本雅明对时尚研究的影响还在于他对媒体和表现的深刻洞察。格策和卡拉米纳斯指出,本雅明在备受关注的论文《机械复制时代的艺术作品》中对再现性和灵气丧失的概念,对时尚研究有相当大的益处。特别是其中一个观点是,通过复制的大量增加重新投资或赎回了灵气,延续了存在和吸引力。他们认为,在幻想环境和名人框架下对时尚的表现是时尚产业的驱动力之一。通过与艺术和历史的交叉授粉,过去二十年的高端时尚已经催生出一种新的时间关系。</p> <p class="ql-block"><b>文本理解:</b></p><p class="ql-block"> 仔细阅读英语文本,回答以下五个问题,如能回答这些问题,说明你的英语很不错。括号中用英语给出了参考答案。</p><p class="ql-block">1. 瓦尔特.本杰明在时尚研究中的影响体现在哪些方面?他如何定义时尚?它与资本主义的关系如何体现?(Benjamin's impact in fashion studies lies in viewing fashion as intertwined with modern culture, the most specific manifestation of capitalism's drive for change, influenced by Karl Marx.)</p><p class="ql-block">2. 本杰明认为时尚对于现代文化的重要性体现在哪些方面?它与阶级识别、瞬时性的表达有何关联?(For Benjamin, fashion represents not just class recognition but also a pervasive statement of temporality, fundamental to modern culture.)</p><p class="ql-block">3.
