从“非礼勿视”到“视觉狂欢”——图像时代的视觉伦理及其文化表征

From See No Evil to Visual Carnival——Visual Ethics and Its Cultural Representation in Image Era

图像主导的现代视觉机制强化了视觉在文化传播中的主体意识,同时又从视看行为及视觉文本两个维度挑战着现代社会的伦理范式,它弥合了私人空间与公共空间的传统界限,赋予"窥视"以及视觉展示以更为便捷的技术条件和适宜的传播语境,在追逐即时情感体验的审美诉求中与既定的伦理规范渐趋背离,却又在消费意识的潜在规约中使得这一背离越发普遍,而由此带来的视觉形式与意义深度之间的失衡状态也将引发更多的审美思考。

The modem visual mechanism dominated by image has strengthened the vision＇ s subject in the modern cultural commu- nication, and it also challenges the ethical paradigm of modem society from two dimensions of visual behavior and visual text. It has bridged the tradi- tional boundaries of private space and public space, providing more convenient technical conditions as well as appropriate communication context for peep and visual display. It is contrary to established ethical norms in the aesthetic pursuit of instant emotional experience, but also makes the depar- ture more common in the potential constraints of consumer awareness. It brings a state of imbalance between visual form and meaning depth, which will cause more aesthetic thinking.
