应对消费文化时代的文艺理论新课题

On the New Subjects of Literary Theory in Consumption Age

当代中国审美文化实践正在发生着深刻的变化,传统的带有形而上特征的审美活动正从孤立的时空中走出来,融入到更为广阔无限延展的日常生活中,文化产品也更多地带有了商品属性成为普遍的消费品。这些都给文艺理论在新世纪的建设提出了许多新的问题。文章试从文艺观的调整、知识立场的反思、批评对象的拓展以及批评平台的拓宽这四个方面对消费时代的文艺理论的建设问题予以回应。

The aesthetic and cultural practice in contemporary China is undergoing complex and profound changes. The traditionally metaphysical aesthetic activities are immersed into vast daily life, with cultural products becoming more and more universal consumer goods. These pose new challenges to the construction of literary theory in the new century. The article attempts to deal with the construction of literary theory in consumption age from the following four aspects, i.e. the adjustment of outlook of literature and art, reflections on knowledge standpoint, the expansion of objects of criticism as well as the widening of critic platform.
