摘要

in his aggressive commentary on photography at the opening at salon de 1859, baudelaire seems to depict a self-portait of an anti-bourgeois aesthete. nevertheless, baudelaireˋs position regarding photography is ambiguous, and must be understood in the context of his paradoxical admiration for modernity and hatred for progress. by reading this commentary, i intend to demonstrate the important role it plays in baudelaireˋs theory of the imagination, and to show how it can reveal a certain blindness of poets and literary scholars vis-角-vis new technologies of image (re)production.
