艺术主体的艰难之路——哈琴论后现代的语境化

The Hard Way of the Art Subject——Hutcheon's Views on Postmodernist Contextualization

后现代主义所具有的历史性、政治性以及多元化等特征使得它必须冲出形式主义和人文主义的桎梏,才能实现其对一统化和有限的封闭的知识的质疑与颠覆。要达到这一目的,加拿大后现代主义理论家哈琴认为"语境化"(contextualizing)是非常有效的重要手段。哈琴从两个层次上定义后现代主义中的"语境化"。一是将艺术与理论置放于表达行为之内;二是将二者置放于这一行为隐含的更广泛的历史、社会和政治(以及互文)语境中。

In order to realize its query and overthrow the totalizing and limited knowledge, the historic, political and diversified characters of postmodernism push it necessary to rush out of the shackles of formalism and humanism. For such purpose, Canadian Postmodernist theorist Linda Hutcheon thought that one of the highly effective important measures is ＂contextualization＂. She de- fines the contextualization of postmodernism from two levels： one is to apply and place art and theory within the behavior of expression; another is to place both of them in the wide range of historical, so- cial and political （and inter-textual） context which is contained in the behavior of expression.
