审美教育的具体性及其意义——《刺客聂隐娘》评价的两极分化提出的理论问题

Specificity and significance of aesthetic education:Theoretical issues raised by the polarization of the evaluation on the movie The Assassin Nie Yin-niang

在中国的现代化过程中,审美教育是一个无论在国家层面还是在学术界层面都非常重要的问题。文章试着从侯孝贤导演的电影《刺客聂隐娘》评价的两极分化现象,作为对当代审美教育问题讨论的切入口,探讨在当代社会到底应该如何让审美教育发挥作用和审美教育的当代功能及其机制,从而进一步思考审美教育的本土性和当代性问题。通过讨论,提出应对当代审美教育问题的措施在于:一是作为从事审美教育的工作者,应该自觉地践行实践型知识分子的作用和责任感,通过审美教育来介入社会,通过改变人们的情感结构来改变人和塑造人,从而影响社会的进步和变迁;二是应该创造出具有悲剧人文主义精神的当代艺术,在将审美经验的当代性和本土性结合的基础上,深刻地阐释当代优秀作品中所包含的悲剧人文主义和感觉结构,有效地提升整个民族的的审美品味和人格品鉴。
