新媒体时代与艺术何为——以戏剧为例

The Era of New Mediaand What Does ArtDo:The Case of Theater Arts

后现代主义对于碎片化生存的描述在以手机平板为代表的移动终端的大行其道的情势下变得愈加鲜活。都市人类生存的时间与空间进一步地被碎片化,涣散化,无根化。相应地,主体成为各类媒质撕扯、争夺的战场,异化为一个个媒介网络的节点,成为不断接收和发送信息的工具。基于此背景,本文试图探讨以戏剧为代表的传统艺术可以有何作为,它是否能如乐观派不断宣扬的那样,重塑真实的时间和空间,将主体从媒质空间的节点解救出来,重建人的主体性和现代性。

The popularity of portable electronic devices has intensified the fragmentation lifestyle that is described by postmodernism. The urban space has become further fragmented, dispersed and rootless. Subjects, accordingly, are turned into the battle field in which all kinds of media are tearing and fighting, and dissimilated tonodes in the media network, receiving and sending information simultaneously and consistently. In this context, this essay tries to discuss what traditional artsrep resented by theater arts could do, and whether theater arts could survive and reconstruct time and space, as optimists constantly publicize, in terms of retrieving the subiectivity and modernity of human beings.
