“参与”的使用限度:社会参与式艺术的基本概念问题

Limits of Use of“Participation”:The Basic Concept of Socially Engaged Art

社会参与式艺术中的“参与”是一个有待检视的词语。无论是自然科学,还是社会科学,“参与”被不同的领域广泛运用于不同的情境之中,以至于这一概念的确切性几乎丧失,从而导致“艺术的参与”可能会因为该词应用的广泛性和多样性而面临被混淆的危险。为有效地讨论社会参与式艺术,有必要在一定范围内明确“参与”的使用限度,本文将从政治哲学中的“参与”、人类学中的“参与”以及艺术理论话语中的“参与”三个层面来讨论该问题。

"Participation"in Socially Engaged Art is a term that needs to be examined.Whether in natural science or social science,"participation"has been widely used in different contexts in different fields,so that the exact concept of"participation in art"is almost lost.As a result,"participation in art"may face the danger of confusion due to the universality and diversity of the word.To effectively discuss socially engaged art,it is necessary to clarify the limits of using"participation"in a certain range.This paper will discuss this problem from the three aspects of"participation"in political philosophy,"participation"in anthropology and"participation"in art theory.
