"When it was originally published in 1991, Feminine Endings was immediately controversial for its unprecedented intermingling of cultural criticism and musical studies, an approach that came to be called the "new musicology." Through case studies of works ranging from the canonical - operas by Monteverdi and Bizet - to the contemporary - the performance art of Diamanda Galas an...(展开全部)

这位全球最受爱戴、最敢于直言的公共知识分子，带来了一本关于批评本质的启迪之作。 “什么是开端？为了开始，我们必须做什么？作为一项活动、一个时刻或一个地点，开端有何特别之处？” 《开端》一书由此开篇。爱德华·W·萨义德是《东方主义》、《巴勒斯坦问题》等开创性著作的作者，也是我们这个时代最受赞誉的公共知识分子之一。萨义德追溯了人类历史上对“开端”的不同理解，并指出“开端”本身就是一种方法，是创造意义的第一步。它激发了对既有传统的突破，也赋予了新文本以生命。 萨义德一如既往地坚持既有人道又具有社会责任感的批评。 《开端》远不止于写作：它探讨的是想象与行动，以及实现人类意图时对自由与发明的限制。本书是一部关于知识分子角色和批评价值的经典且必要的论述。 From one of the world's most beloved and outspoken pub...(展开全部)

【格罗塞】 （Ernst Grosse，1862—1927）德国艺术史家、社会学家，现代艺术社会学奠基人之一。曾任弗赖堡大学教授。主要著作有：《艺术的起源》（1894）、《艺术学研究》（1900）等。美学上他主张把哲学美学与艺术科学分离开来，他认为包括艺术在内的精神生活与社会的经济形态之间有密切关系。提倡从社会学、人类学、民族学等多方面对艺术学和艺术史进行研究。他认为艺术科学的真正目的，是对艺术的性质、产生艺术的原因及其效果作全面探讨。艺术活动也是审美活动，它的发展过程或后果都有直接的感情价值，这种感情价值大半是愉快的。所以艺术（或审美）本身也是目的，其它的目的无关紧要。除了艺术活动，还有实际活动（如生产劳动）和游戏活动。实际活动是一种手段，而游戏活动中则介于二者之间。他用社会学的观点深入考察了原始民族的艺术，利用人种史和人类学的资料，阐明艺术起源的...(展开全部)
