詹明信美学思想刍议

On F.Jameson's Aesthetic Thoughts

西方马克思主义一向注重对资本主义社会进行审美批判,但是到了后现代主义时期,美的生产愈来愈受到经济结构的种种规范,美的基本社会文化角色与功能日渐改变,当艺术彻底商品化,审美也沦为一种消费,这种批判还是否可能?美国当代著名的新马克思主义学者詹明信构想的认知图绘美学是解答这一时代难题的可贵尝试。

Western Marxism has long focused on the aesthetic criticism on capitalist society. However, at the Post-Modernist age, the production of beauty is increasingly restrained by norms of economic structure that its basic social cultural role and function change with time. Would aesthetic criticism still be possible when art is completely commercialized and aesthetic judgment becomes a kind of consumption？ The aesthetics of cogni- tive mapping by F. Jameson is a valuable try to solve this problem.
