消费文化语境下舒斯特曼“具身化”美学反思

Aesthetic Reflection of Richard Shusterman 's Theory “Embodiment”on The Context of Consumer Culture

舒斯特曼所倡导的一切从"具身"出发的思想尽管对拓展传统美学的研究范围,开辟新的美学增长点具有重要意义。但是,在消费文化弥漫的社会大潮中,一方面,形形色色的"泛具身化"现象引起了人们认知的混乱与价值判断的模糊,渐渐偏离了舒氏的理论初衷;另一方面,新媒体技术的发展所带来的"去身化"现实,不断挑战着"具身化"的合法性存在。由此不得不让我们重新反思和探索"具身化"美学未来的发展路径。

Richard Shustennan advocates that embodtment is the core of everything which has a positive impact on the traditional aesthetics such as expanding its research space and developing some new growth points. However, in the consumptive society, from one hand, generation of ＂em- bodiment＂ makes a confusion of humans＇ cognition and valuation which deviated Shusterman＇s original intention gradually; form the other hand, the ex- istence of its legitimacy is confronted with dire challenges of ＂disembodiment＂ in the new media era. Therefore, we have to rethink and explore aesthet- ics＇ future paths.
