论审美活动根源意义的原始发生

The Gestation of Foundational Meaning in Aesthetical Activities

在人类学美学的研究中,原始社会的审美活动附属于其他活动之中,美学家关于艺术以其直观特质充当人类根源性活动的研究又表明审美活动不仅不附属于他者,而是一切活动的根源基础。鉴于两者的理论相悖所带来的问题,即审美活动的原初、本源、本真性价值是否不适用于原始社会,原始人是否是没有审美活动的另类人,美学上需要论证审美活动根源意义的原始发生。从对原始艺术三重心理研究中发现,原始人的审美活动具有较大的独立意义,甚至表现出了审美活动的根源意义。对于原始审美活动的理论遮蔽,起因于语言陈述、功利因果、生理生存、共同体假定等理论陷阱。

In anthropological aesthetic studies, aesthetic activities in primitive society are usually part of others activities. Aesthetic studies show that art, due to its intuitive nature, is foundational in human practice, and that aesthetic activities are not attached to other activities but underlie all the activities. The conflict between the two theoretical approaches has raised questions which concern whether the original, fundamental and authentic value of aesthetic activities is applicable to primitive society, and whether the primitive people is a people without aesthetic activities. Therefore, there is a need to substantiate the original gestation of the fbundational meaning of aesthetic activities from the perspective of aesthetics. Psychological studies on the primitive art reveal that the aesthetic activities among the primitive people had an important significance of themselves, and the significance might even show to be foundational to aesthetic activities. The theorization of the primitive aesthetic activities has been obscured due to theoretical traps in linguistic rendition, utilitarian causality, physical existence, the assumed community etc.
