Abstract

Em seu comentário agressivo à fotografia na abertura do Salon de 1859, Baudelaire parece pintar um auto-retrato do esteta antiburguês. No entanto, a posição de Baudelaire relativamente à fotografia é ambígua e deve ser entendida dentro do contexto paradoxal de seu amor à modernidade e ódio ao progresso. Através da leitura desse texto, pretendemos demonstrar o importante papel que ele desempenha na teoria baudelairiana da imaginação e mostrar como ele pode revelar uma certa cegueira dos poetas e literatos relativamente às novas tecnologias de (re)produção da imagem.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, Baudelaire’s 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 Baudelaire’s theory of the imagination, and to show how it can reveal a certain blindness of poets and literary scholars vis-à-vis new technologies of image (re)production.Dans son commentaire agressif de la photographie lors de l’ouverture du Salon de 1859, Baudelaire semble peindre un auto-portrait de l’esthète anti-bourgeois. Pour autant, la position de Baudelaire relative à la photographie est ambiguë et doit être comprise dans le contexte paradoxal de son amour de la modernité et de sa haine du progrès. À travers la lecture de ce texte, nous avons l’intention de démontrer le rôle important qu’il joue dans la théorie baudelairienne de l’imagination et de montrer comment il peut révéler un certain aveuglement des poètes et littérateurs par rapport aux nouvelles technologies de reproduction de l’image.
