On Agamben's View Of "Threshold"and Its Aesthetic Significance

As the origin of many academic thoughts of Agamben,"threshold" runs through all aspects of Agamben's life political thoughts,philosophical thoughts and artistic thoughts.The concept of "threshold" in Agamben's life political thoughts connects internal and external in the way of topology,forming a special spatial mode of "threshold" which is neither internal nor external,and "double exclusion"“ God sage "exists in this space,the exception of China and France and illegality become vague in this space,the sovereign's privilege outside the law is exerted in this space," threshold "is the foundation of gumben's life political ideological system.The "threshold" is not only the observation point for Agamben to peep into the internal structure of life politics,but also the breakthrough point for Agamben to think about saving life.Agamben tried to construct the form of "threshold" of "potential" and the "formal life" which can not be distinguished from life.In "potential",the "threshold" of "holding loss" was always adopted,that is,the way of "not doing" was chosen Man's internal and external reality are confronted,so as to resist the split and oppression of life politics on man's life and form,and avoid the threat of "naked life".At this time,the threshold is the strategy and plan for Agamben to form "formal life" and obtain freedom of life,which not only reflects Agamben's thinking on how life should exist as a philosopher,but also shows Agamben's thinking on how life should exist This pursuit of reality for the beauty of form and life's more integrity.If the "potential" in the "threshold" space will be to redeem people's life in life politics,then the "common body" based on the "threshold" space will change the traditional community mode established in the form of "exclusion of alien" in the original western culture.In the traditional community,the "alien" part consolidates the community,and the excluded "alien" may be threatened by the community at any time,and this threat will make people numb because of the language landscape of language construction,so that the cruelty of "excluding alien" becomes invisible.The ideal common body does not take the "exclusion" as the basis of construction,but divides the"exclusion" into two parts Cut "and" exclude "fail in the level of language,and the landscape of language is eliminated.In the future,the structure of the syntopy will be similar to what Benjamin called "star cluster".The syntopy will become the "threshold"space between each syntopy element,which will be connected through the "threshold"elements without being classified,and the syntopy will be generated continuously because of the connection of the elements.The establishment of the common body is to construct the living mode of the man in Agamben's ideal.Art,as the "threshold" between man and truth,is the way Agamben pursues the ultimate truth.In art,Agamben focuses on three aspects: poetry,creator and witness.In Forrest Gump's view,narrow poetry can be an art type.Broad poetry is art itself.Forrest Gump focuses on poetry as an art form.He also believes that poetry and art are of the same nature.The game between poetry and philosophy is the game between perceptual knowledge and rational knowledge.In Forrest Gump's view,this art and philosophy should move towards each other before they can be formed The path to truth.As for the creators,Agamben's aesthetic view of no interest makes art and creators more and more far away.Only when the creators return to the threshold of truth and material,can they finally create art belonging to artists.Although it is impossible to witness,the impossibility of witnessing is just the "threshold" for the creation of poetry and art.Listening to the "absent things" in art is also the "threshold" for the emergence of literary criticism.In Agamben's theory of life politics,"threshold" is a way to observe political and social problems.In Agamben's "potential" thought,"potential" in the threshold space is a way to propose solutions to political and social problems.In Agamben's construction of the "common body" in the future,by proposing the "threshold" of language,we can remove the language landscape and make reality In Agamben's view of literature and art,"threshold" is not only the birthplace of art view and art criticism,but also the way to guide the search for truth and find truth.Agamben used "threshold" as the key concept of penetrating thought,not only because "threshold" provides new ideas for the Western solidified thinking mode of "binary opposition",but also because of the true beauty and potential beauty of "threshold".In this era of increasing landscape,through the perspective of "threshold",we will find the real hidden by the landscape,and through the "potential" on the "threshold",we will let life get internal freedom from the shackles of the external landscape.
