• W4236031793 abstract "Fascinated by the paintings wherein Constantin Guys attempted to capture the essence of the modern, Baudelaire wrote: ‘This seems to be the fear of not going fast enough, of letting the phantom escape before the synthesis has been extracted from it and recorded…’.1 What is the status of ‘phantom’ here? Bronfen’s remark that the uncanny may well occur when there is ‘an effacement of the distinction between literal and figural’2 is suggestive, just as one might go on to observe that this traditional use of ‘figural’, referring to tropes as a ‘figurative’ dimension of language, has increasingly been supplemented, in recent scholarship — including this essay — by a use of ‘figure’ and ‘figuration’ in deliberately more ambiguous ways, indeed pointing to this very effacement to which Bronfen refers.3 This encourages us to ask about Baudelaire’s use of ‘phantom’ here, so as to understand how the figurative can, at times, vibrate the always insecure boundary that insulates it from the literal, and conversely, insulates the real from the fantasies that necessarily partake of it. And the ‘synthesis’, that has to be ‘extracted and recorded’? This synthesis of a phantom, itself phantasmatic, reminds us both of the spectre of the past — apparently past yet with us still — and the fantasy construction of the whole in representation: the imaginary unity of the image, figuring what cannot coherently be grasped. The spectral can figure a state of ontological undecidability or tension, where there is an insistence, a presence of whatever resists us, recalcitrant to our understanding. What this little quote calls for, then, is an exploration of ‘presence’ as a possible object and context of experience; its relation to our sense of time; our ability to capture it through representation, particularly as image; the resulting instabilities in the experiential field that can generate ‘presences’ out of what is conventionally ‘absent’; and how all this relates to our sense of the modern, of ourselves as modern.KeywordsLiterary HistoryEarly Nineteenth CenturyModern ExperienceDark ForceLove ObjectThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
