汪民安继《米歇尔·福柯》之后，又推出的一部新的论文电影《现代性》。这是以他的著作《现代性》为基础制作而成。《现代性》一书出版后广受欢迎，多次再版，豆瓣数千人评分高达9分。这部电影以《现代性》一书为脚本，从大量既往的电影、绘画、照片和音乐中选取了与现代性密切相关的材料，并对这些材料进行新的“挪用”、剪辑和组织。“现代性”从静止的纸页上来到了活动影像上。 　　“现代性是一个纷繁复杂的概念，书中从现代生活、现代资本主义、现代观念、工业主义和民族-国家以及现代性的冲突五个方面，具体探讨了现代性的基本特征和内涵，从各个层面对现代性这一复杂而内部矛盾重重的悖论系统做了简要、精辟的论述。” 　　对人文科学和社会科学而言，现代性是一个至关重要的概念。它有多重的意义。有社会、政治，经济和文化等不同层面上的现代性。因为学科和视野的不同，人们对这个概念的理解也不同。这部片子试图从多个角度去探讨现代性的含义。电影的四个部分就是从四个层面去讨论现代性的诸多维度。 　　汪民安教授不是第一次来到北京大学进行学术放映。早在2016年，北京大学艺术学院曾举办“黉门对话”专家主题论坛，论坛聚焦欧洲当代哲学与艺术理论。汪民安教授的论文电影《米歇尔·福柯》作为学术影像进行放映，纪念米歇尔·福柯逝世90周年。李洋教授、戴锦华教授、汪民安教授都曾出席该活动。 　　今天，我们再一次非常荣幸地邀请到汪民安教授作为本次活动的嘉宾，以及李洋教授担任活动的主持人。届时，我们将一同观赏汪民安教授的最新电影作品《现代性》，并在影片放映结束后，举行一场深入的影后座谈会。 　　汪民安，清华大学中文系教授，主要研究方向为批评理论、文化研究，现代艺术和文学，著有《尼采与身体》《福柯的界限》《谁是罗兰·巴特》《现代性》《论家用电器》《身体、空间与后现代性》《什么是当代》《绘画反对图像》《论爱欲》等，最新著作《亲密关系的核心是友谊》，主编理论丛刊《生产》《褶子》，主编“人文科学译丛”、“福柯文选”等多套西方理论丛书。 　　2016年，汪民安创作了论文电影《米歇尔·福柯》，影片在北京大学、中央美术学院等学校和艺术机构放映。

Unavailable on home video for many years (except perhaps as a grainy, nth-generation VHS bootleg), Penelope Spheeris' seminal document of the young 1979-1980 Los Angeles punk scene includes chaotic live performances by now-legendary groups like Black Flag (with short-lived lead singer Ron "Chavo Pederast" Reyes), X (giving themselves stick-and-poke tattoos) and the Germs (whose unpredictable lead singer Darby Crash would commit suicide before the film's release) interwoven with talking-head interviews with teenage punks and, most entertainingly, older club owners trying very hard to describe a growing form of music they were clearly unprepared for. The footage of Fear's confrontational set would later grab the attention of John Belushi, who snagged the band a 1981 appearance on Saturday Night Live (and resulted in $20,000 in damage to the studio). - Tom Fritsche

The third (and seemingly final) installment in Penelope Spheeris' Los Angeles music trilogy, THE DECLINE OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION III follows not the punk acts of Los Angeles from 1996-1997 but their homeless teenaged fans. Musician interviews in this DECLINE are fewer but include interesting musings from Keith Morris from the Circle Jerks and Flea (credited as the "ex-bass player of Fear"). DECLINE III lives up to its title as Spheeris explores every facet of the gutter-punk life, from their damaged upbringings (nearly all were abused or neglected as children) to the self-destructive lives they lead on society's fringe (alcoholism, homelessness and run-ins with skinheads, among others). - Tom Fritsche
