论艺术德性建构机制

On the Construction Mechanism of the Art Virtue

艺术德性的本体构成是一回事,而艺术德性的评价或裁决则是另一回事。生活德性都具有激发强烈自由情感的功效,既然艺术作品的感动力量和净化作用同样也是源于生活德性的艺术再现,而生活德性的本质乃是一次次具体生动的利他行动,那么艺术德性文本建构的一条现实捷径就是将生活德性作为艺术德性的原始素材加以组织、提炼、精选和概括,然后按照艺术固有的法则即创造真实而充满新奇和不确定性的新现实图景的法则编织成一个有机的艺术整体,由此而生成的艺术就必然会是一部德性圆满的艺术。这就是低碳艺术生产创作的一条基本原则。不过,艺术德性的价值有无和高低,艺术文本自身无权裁决,往往由学术机制和政治机制通过艺术文本这一中介来定义。其中学术机制相对客观、公正,是艺术德性定义的主要机制。

The ontological formation of the art virtue is one thing; while its evaluation or judgment is another. Since the virtue of life can inspire strong and free emotions, and the moving force of the works of art and their puri- fication function are also derived from the art representation of life virtue, while the virtue of life is in essence em- bodied in specific and vivid altruistic actions, a practical shortcut to the cultivation of the life virtue text is to organ- ize, refine, select and summarize the virtue of art with the virtue of life as its raw material, and then to weave an organic whole art in line with the inherent law of art--that of creating a new picture of reality featuring authenticity, novelty and uncertainty, for the art thus generated is bound to be a virtuous and satisfactory one. This is a basic principle for the production of low-carbon art. However, the presence or absence of the art virtue or its level can not be decided by the artistic text itself but by the academic mechanism and the political mechanisms by means of the intermediary of the art text, of which the academic mechanism--relatively objective and fair--is the major mechanism for defining the virtue of art.
