现代舞编创与接受的认知初探

A Cognitive Approach to the Choreography and Acceptance of Contemporary Dance

本文在阐述认知科学强调主体对客体的理解、组织、消化、反应等过程的基础上,试图探析认知视角对现代舞这一艺术形式提供的新的解读.本文发现,一个舞蹈所蕴含的意义及其展现方式、包括受众的解读过程都可以置于认知过程的描述与解释的框架中,因此认知视角可以架起现代舞本身和意义表征及解读之间某种具有逻辑性和可证性的桥梁.以此为基础,本文认为认知视角是对现代舞进行深入研究的可行途径.

This paper intends to pursue a new interpretation of the choreography and acceptance of contemporary dance from a cognitive perspective. It is found that cognitive approaches are desirable in analyzing the meaning of a dance as well as the means by which such meaning is expressed and accepted. By expounding on the cognitive processes of the choreographers, dancers and audiences respectively, the author of this paper arrives at a tentative conclusion that investigations into cognitive mechanisms and operations help bridge the gap between the intended meaning and accepted meaning of a dance, thus serving as a feasible method forfurther studies.
