Research On Baudelaire's Speed Experience

As a great poet in the transition period from classical to modern,Baudelaire skillfully combined the two seemingly contradictory concepts of warmness and eternity with aesthetic modernity.The aesthetic paradigm of “instant experience” created by him has added a new dimension to the original flat space writing,which is not only Baudelaire's interpretation of modernity,but also the realization of modern people's aesthetic transcendence in the face of the spiritual dilemma brought by speed.The melancholy and decadence revealed by Baudelaire between the lines,as well as the modern urban experience in the period of social transformation,have always been a hot topic in the academic circle.But there are almost no research results with “speed” as the entry point.Especially after entering the “age of speed”,there are many changes in the city: the rapid development of industry,omnipotence of science and technology,the enslavement of people to machines,various unpredictable changes in cities and so on.For human beings,the speed brings unprecedented freedom at the same time,also brought the unprecedented manipulation.From this perspective,in-depth experience Baudelaire not only for the research of the great modernist poets provides a new way of thinking,as well as in the modern age,people how to get along more harmonious and speed provides a guidance and reference,with strong practical significance.Baudelaire's modernity contains multiple experiences of speed,which are closely related to the technological development and social culture of France and even the whole Europe in the 19 th century.Industrialization and mechanized production are the technical basis for the rapid development of modern society,which brings the dawn of modernity to Europe.However,the unrestrained development of modernity makes modern society full of contradictions,and all solid things vanish into the air.The concept of humanistic values also changes with the alienation of human beings.In the modern context of eternal division and innovation,struggle and contradiction,ambiguity and pain,Baudelaire found the instantaneous sense brought by speed,the sense of shock and the dissipation caused by the unrestrained social flow,and he concentrated these feelings in his works to paint a picture of modern life.Among them,the instantaneous experience comes from the fragmented modern urban experience.The shocking experience comes from the failure of traditional experience brought by the full speed of modern society.The experience of resistance is the resistance against the speed society and the ruling class by the little man at the bottom of society.The dissipation experience is mainly the result of the abnormal and alienated spirit and flesh of modern people under the speed control,and the sketching experience is Baudelaire's most effective attempt to combine the moment with the eternal and record all the speed experiences of modern society.Baudelaire's experience is of great significance,the speed of its metabolism is not only a 19 th century French society and the rapid advance of modernization,also reveals the predicament of the speed of modern society and put forward the solution to aesthetic modernity against capital modernity,the reflection of the present “the speed of society” go a long way in the future.In today's landscape full of speed,people are not only enjoying the convenience brought by speed,but also suffering from it.Excessive attention to the moment,addiction to shock,as well as the sense of rupture and drifting brought by the infinite flow of modern society,all of which have disturbed and disintegrated the living state of modern people.When the pursuit of speed and novelty becomes the master of human life,the survival crisis of modern people also comes along with how to find the way to redemption in the clip clock of speed,which is worth every modern people's deep thinking.
