Abstract:
The conception of absurdity presented itself evenin ancient times. But the sense of absurdity being promoted from ordinary life as a kind of selfconscious aesthetic sonse was a modern atrempt first made in the context of western culture since the Second world War. As the modern extension of aesthetics, absurdity is in the midtache between aesthetics and uglitics. In other words, absurdity shapes a new aesthetic modality by breaching and combining sadness, happiness and ugliness. The emergence of absurdity expands the category of traditional aesthetics and enriches the Aestetica established by Baumgarten. In the framework of rectifying the aesthetics and midwiferying uglitics by the Aestetica, the absurdity shows its significance. And the aura of absurdity still spreads in the spacetime of postmodern culture.
