从想象到现场:城市文化生态的美学研究视野

From Imagination to Scene: Aesthetic View of Urban Cultural Ecology Research

在过去20年中,城市美学和城市文化研究多注重城市审美外观和现代性都市乌托邦的整体文化想象,忽略了中国城市化进程中异质文化群落的出现所带来的文化生态的多样性和复杂性,以及城市文化产业兴起带来新的城市文化景观的生成,以致对鲜活复杂的城市经验造成遮蔽。城市文化研究需要走进文化现场,从城市文化生态视野拓展原有的研究模式:在研究对象上,从形象、文本拓展到文化活动;在研究视野上,关注城市文化生态的多样性以及多元异质文化群落的冲突与融合;在研究方法上,整合多学科的理论和方法资源,从文本解读和审美阐释走向参与和体验,运用田野调查、文化考古学等方法,实现理论与现实经验的对接。

The researches of urban aesthetics and urban cultural over the past twenty years paid much attention to the city appearance and cultural imagination of modern urban Utopian, ignoring the diversity and complexity of cultural ecology brought by the emergence of heterogeneous cultural groups in the piocess of China＇s urbanization, and the new urban cultural landscape brought by the rise of the urban cultural industry, thu~ shadowing the live and complex urban experience. Urban cultural studies need to step into cultural scene, and stretch the former model of the study from the view of urban cultural ecology： For research object, we should extend from images and texts to cultural activities; for research view, we should pay attention to the diversity of urban culture, and conflict and integration of diverse heterogeneous cultural groups; for research method, we should integrate muhidisciplinary theories and methods, and change from text reading and aesthetic interpretation to participation and experience by using the methods of fieldwork and cultural archaeology, so as to achieve the combination of theory and live experience.
