审美人类学:一门跨文化和跨学科的研究

The Anthropology of Aesthetics as an Intercultural and Interdisciplinary Quest

人类的审美具有普遍一致性和文化多样性。我们提出"审美人类学",主张从跨文化与跨学科的角度对美学进行研究。"人类学"具有几种不同的内涵,这些内涵,从不同的侧面丰富着对审美的研究。就其研究方法而论,我们主张,一是对"审美的人"的综合性研究,二是调查世界上小型社会的审美问题,三是用不同的人类学方法对审美进行研究。

Human’s aesthetic both have universality and cultural relativity. What we say the anthropology of aesthetics, means that from an interculture and interdisciplinary approach to study aesthetics.The different meanings attached to the term “anthropology” are thereby fully exploited to suggest as comprehensive an approach to the aesthetic as conceivable. The first approach is the comprehensive examination of Homo aestheticus. The second refers to investigate the aesthetic in the world’s small-scale societies. And the third is using distinctive anthropological approach to studying the aesthetic.
