“祛媚”与“平衡”:消费时代的文艺反思

“Removing Flattery”and “Keeping Balance”:Literary and artistic rethinking in the era of consumption

在消费主义盛行的时代,如何使文艺不做市场的奴隶,不沾染铜臭气?应当祛除文艺创作中的"媚商"习气、"媚娱乐"倾向与"媚众"特性,使文艺创作与商业利益、文艺乐感体验与价值引导功能、文艺创作与人民大众之间通过良性的互动达到一种平衡状态。亦即通过纯文艺与商业的良性互动,形成一种文艺自主原则与经济原则相互平衡的文学场或艺术场;通过溶解性的"乐"之功能与振奋性的"教"之功能的良性互动,形成一种寓教于乐的平衡式"快乐";通过扎根大众与反思大众的良性互动,形成一种平衡而深沉的"爱众"式受众观。通过这一系列平衡建立起健康可持续的社会主义文艺观。

In the era of consumerism,how to stop literature and art being slavery to the market and to stay away from the stink of money？In literary and artistic creation,there are three extremely important aspects as the solution,namely,to get rid of the tendency for commercialization,to clear up pure amusement,and to eliminate the habit of pleasing the mass.In other words,it should ensure to achieve a state of balance by using benign interaction between purely literary artistic creation and business interests,between happiness of artistic creation and value guidance function,and between artistic creation and the interest of the mass.For artistic creators,they should form a kind of literature or art field in which literary autonomy principle and economic principle be in mutual balance,to maintain a balanced ＂happiness＂such as teaching and entertaining simultaneously through benign interaction dissolving function of＂entertaining＂and the encouraging function of＂teaching＂,to foster a balanced and deep＂care＂for the audience by rooting in the mass and rethinking about the mass.Through the series of balance as such,a healthy and sustainable socialist view of literature and art can then be established.
