漫谈传播学与艺术学的学科关联——兼论新媒体研究的学科确立、学术定位及研究方法

Disciplinary Connection Between Communication and Art Studies,and Disciplinary Establishment,Academic Orientation and Research Methods of New Media Studies

传播学与艺术学,是目前国内高校专业没置中受到较多追捧的两个热门学科。但从现象来看,无论是在国家颁布的《学科目录》,还是高校院系设置等具体的学科管理层面,两个学科互相杂糅、互相包含的情形非常突出。在倡导交叉学科跨界研究的今天,面对某些具体研究对象时,两个学科产生一定交集的现象不足为奇,但如果两个学科之间的交集过于密切,以至于影响对于学科独立性的辨识,则说明两个学科各自的定位还不甚清晰,学科划分在逻辑层面上还存在着许多问题。本文作者从现象出发,立足经验分析与理论思辨,对传播学、艺术学两门学科间的区别与联系展开初步的思考,提出传播学、艺术学两门学科有互相沟通的必要性,但在其学科根基上仍具有各自的独立性,对两个学科共通的研究领域展开跨学科的交叉研究,也应该建立在充分尊重两门学科自身特点和独立性基础之上展开。在文章的最后,作者还列举了包括新媒体研究在内的一些具有代表性的研究领域,探讨从传播学与艺术学的交叉视角进入这些前沿领域的可能性,并就研究方向和学术目标等问题展开讨论,以期对有志于从事这些领域的研究者提出具体的操作路径。

With various phenomena as the starting point, and based on empirical analysis and theoretical speculation, this paper sets forth some preliminary thoughts about the differences and connections between communication and art studies, and emphasizes the necessity of the communicating between the two disciplines The author points out that each of the two disciplines is still independent in essence, and that the interdisciplinary study of their common field of research should be conducted on the basis of fully respecting their own characteristics and independence. At the end of the paper, the author enumerates some representative fields of research, including new media studies, considers the possibilities of entering these frontier fields from the interdisciplinary perspective of communication and art studies, and discusses the research area, academic goals etc., so as to propose concrete ways of operation to those who aspires to conduct research in these fields.
