生命意象:杜威艺术审美形式表现说的生态生成观念

Images of life: the Concept of Ecological Creation in Dewey's Aesthetic Expression Form

杜威在作为"活的生物"的人与环境交互作用而形成"一个经验"的过程中考察审美表现形式的生成,首先是有目的的生命冲动在与环境的对立中通过"表现性动作"构建"情感化意象"即生命意象,其间主要是情感引导对材料的选择和结合。作为艺术审美形式所表现的意义,不是话语所能够表达的,而是由形式直接表现的生命意蕴。作为艺术作品的"表现性对象"乃是被形式改造成审美实质的质料,即具有表现性的形式化的质料。杜威的这一思想揭示了审美表现形式生成过程的动态的生态性质,并从形式与意义之间的关系说明了审美表现的生态性特征。

Dewey studied the birth of the aesthetic form of expression the formation of ＂an experience＂ as the result of the interaction between the ＂living creatures＂ of people and the environment, emphasizing that in the confrontation with the environment, the purposeful life impulse, through the ＂expressive action＂, produces the ＂emotional image＂, that is, the image of life, during which it is emotions that guide the selection and combination of materials. The meaning expressed in aesthetic form can not be expressed in words, but the life implication directly manifested by the form. The ＂expressive object＂ of any work of art is the material of aesthetic essence transformed by the form, namely, the expressive formalized material. Such a thought of Dewey reveals the dynamic ecological nature in the process of the creation of aesthetic expression forms, and illustrates the ecological characteristics of aesthetic expression from the relationship between form and meaning.
