Portuguese to English: Modernism and Tradition General field: Art/Literary
Source text - Portuguese Se tomamos por referência as categorias estéticas, que nortearam a modernidade - gênio, estilo, valor de beleza –, e que parecem ainda estar em voga, a forma ensaio em algo de exótico. O lugar que lhes foi permitido ocupar é o mesmo espaço do exílio higiênico outorgado ao modernismo como um todo: mais um estilo como outros tantos, cuja categoria estética principal é o experimentalismo formal levado . Se a obra de arte modernista nasce como reação disruptiva contra as formas decantadas na tradição, então vale a pena perguntar-se se as categorias estéticas da tradição podem dar conta dessas obras sem com isso deformá-las. Seria alarmante investir em um método interpretativo capaz sequer de enxergar seu objeto.
Translation - English If we consider the aesthetic categories which regulated traditional modernity - genius, style, beauty value -, and which appears to be dominant even today, the 'essay' form is somehow exotic. The place it had been allowed to occupy is the same as the neutralized exilium reserved to modernism as a whole: just a particular style among many others, whose core aesthetical category is formal experimentalism. If the modernist work of art was engendered as a reaction against the stabilized forms of Tradition, then it must be questioned traditional aesthetic categories are able to deal with such work of arts without deforming them. It would be alarming to invest in an interpretative method simply incapable of perceiving its object.
English to Portuguese: Modernism and Realism General field: Art/Literary
Source text - English It is still very common to account the objective perception of the world and of human affairs as opposed to the subjective perception. In opposition to this common attitude, Adorno once wrote that the modernist narrator reliance on extreme subjectivity engenders its contrary: the recognition of the world of objects’ supremacy. Modern novels turned to be what he called negative epopees. Modernist artists are commonly criticized to have achieved, it is usually said, a deformed image of reality due to their reliance on a subjective perspective.
Translation - Portuguese É ainda hoje bastante comum considerar a percepção objetiva do mundo e dos assuntos humanos como oposta à percepção subjetiva. Em oposição à essa atitude comum, Adorno um dia escreveu que o recurso do narrador modernista à extrema subjetividade engendra seu contrário: o reconhecimento da supremacia do mundo das coisas. Romances modernos provaram ser aquilo que ele chamou de epopéias negativas. Os artistas modernistas são comumente criticados por terem atingido, como é usualmente dito, uma imagem deformada da realidade devido à aderência deles à uma perspectiva subjetiva.
