“图像时代”的“听觉文化”浅说

Simple Analysis of the "Auditory Culture" in "Image Age"

自文字诞生以来,视觉文化就已开始挤占听觉文化空间。特别是近百年世界文化随着影像传媒飞速发展,眼睛似乎成了"图像时代"人类的唯一感官。但与此同时,备受抑制的听觉文化也渐渐受到越来越多的关注,尤其是中国文化所蕴含的"听觉审美特质"在抵制"视觉霸权"和矫治"视听失衡"的过程中,正扮演着越来越重要的作用。我们从古今中外大量涉及视听文化的文艺作品都能感受到这样一个道理:"五官感觉的形成是以往全部世界历史的产物",声像之间的矛盾实际上是历史特定时期因"感官对象"变化所引发的阶段性"视听失和",视觉听觉之间相互依存、相互助益的本质关系并未改变。因此,我们有理由相信,视觉文化与听觉文化必将在新的媒介环境下逐步走向的融合。

Since the birth of the word,the visual culture has been crowded into the auditory culture space.With the rapid development of image media,the eyes seem to be the only sense of the"image age".But at the same time,by inhibiting the auditory culture also gradually by more and more attention,especially the Chinese culture because of the"aesthetic qualities"hearing in resisting"visual hegemony"and the"audio-visual imbalances"in the process of the diseases of,is playing a more and more important role.We from a large number of ancient and modern,Chinese and foreign literary works involving audio-visual culture are able to feel such a truth:"the formation of the five senses is the product of all past history of the world",the contradiction between the acoustic image is actually a historical period with objects of the senses"periodic"audio-visual estrangement",which caused by the change of visual the essence of interdependence,mutual benefit relationship between auditory hasn't changed.Therefore,it is reasonable to believe that visual culture and auditory culture will gradually merge in the new media environment.
