社会之维:审美本质“社会派”理论评述

Social dimension as a theoretical review of the aesthetic essence of the social school

1950年代苏联关于审美本质的讨论,标志着苏联马克思主义文论进入了一个新的发展阶段,它由长期以来对文艺的简单化和片面化的理解,转入了在更广泛的视野中进行阐释。其中社会派理论在这一讨论中影响最大,其主要代表人物为亚.布罗夫和列.斯托洛维奇,前者在马克思主义认识论框架中重新审视了艺术的本质,而后者则将这一问题在价值论层面上进行考察,对马克思主义主流文论的发展作出了重要贡献。

The discussion of aesthetic essence in 1950s in USSR symbolizes a new phase of Marxist literary theory, a turning point from a simplistic and incomprehensive understanding to a broader aesthetic reinterpretation of the literary theory. While the theory of the social school exerts a greatest influence, the most important representatives are A. Burov and L. Stolovieh. The former re-examines essence of art within the framework of Marxist epistemology and the latter surveys it on the plane of value. This contributes a lot to the development of the mainstream literary theories of Marxism.
