中国传统艺术母题、主题与叙事理论关系研究

Chinese traditional art motif,theme and narrative theories

母题是构成主题叙事的意象、题材等基本元素以及具有修辞性的意义。探讨中国传统艺术母题、主题与叙事的关系,是建构中国传统艺术母题与主题学体系的逻辑条件之一。艺术母题不是偶然孤立的现象,它应该是贯穿了历时性的集体认知,在绵延变迁中所发生的特殊价值具有建构艺术主题学体系的意义,历时性演变的母题可能还是共同意境与主题叙事之源,即原型。因此,艺术作品的母题、主题不仅在同时性也在历时性的叙事演变中绵延呈现,从叙事的视角出发探讨母题、主题叙事的变迁,再返回到艺术主题理论层面的探讨,此结果便是建构母题与主题学体系的基础。

Motif is the basic element such as image,subject matter and rhetorical meaning that makes up the theme narrative. The relationship between traditional Chinese art motifs,themes and narratives is one of the logics behind the construction of the traditional Chinese art motifs and subject systems. Motifs and themes of art works are presented both synchronically and diachronically. A discussion on the changes of motifs and thematic narratives from the perspective of narrative and a return to the theoretical aspects of art themes are the bases for the construction of the motif and thematic system.
