藝評和歷史的終結，怎樣？

Abstract

This paper discusses, among many other issues, concepts of the so-called "end of history", "the end of art" and "the death of the author" that seem so fashionable in postmodern discourse. It concentrates also on the rhetoric and styles of writing of those who advanced these ideas. It also contain a candid analysis of the terms such as "anti-interpretation" and "anti-methodology" that seem to be the basis of these postmodernist thinking. Finally, this paper advocates a plain and easy to approach writing style that is based on more careful and closer observation of the so-called aesthetic experiences and not simply the elaboration of so-called theory or "critical theory".
