语境叠合:审美资本主义时代的美学难题

Contextual Aesthetics: Aesthetic Problem in the Age of Aesthetic Capitalism

在当下中国,多元文化语境的叠合与杂糅共生已经成为当代社会的重要文化表征。就中国社会语境而言,前现代、现代、后现代的文化与审美表征并存。从前现代的理论视域看,艺术、审美与文化启蒙密切相连;从现代主义美学视域看,当前依然要发挥艺术和审美的自律性以批判、抵抗大众审美中的物质主义;从后现代美学的视域看,审美资本主义不仅是西方经济社会新近出现的社会文化现象,也是中国当前经济社会发展出现的新现象,审美成为经济增长的动因和文化创意的驱动。就中国现实而言,审美资本主义时代的美学难题主要有:要处理好审美无功利与功利性的关系、审美现代性与社会现代性的关系、推进审美创新与继承民族传统文化的关系。

In China,the multicultural context has become an important representation of contemporary the present society.In terms of Chinese social context,pre-modern,modern,postmodern cultures and aesthetic characteristics coexist.From the perspective of pre-modern theory,art,aesthetic and cultural enlightenment are closely linked.From the perspective of modern aesthetic,the aesthetic self-discipline is necessary and it can be used to critique mass aesthetic materialism.From the perspective of postmodern aesthetics,the aesthetic capitalism is not only the social and cultural phenomenon emerging in the western economic society,but also the new phenomenon of the current economic and social development in China.Aesthetics is the driving force of economic growth and cultural creativity.In the case of Chinese reality,the aesthetic problems of the aesthetic capitalist era are as the follows:to deal with the relationship between aesthetic utility and utilitarianism,the relationship between aesthetic modernity and social modernity,and to promote the relationship between aesthetic innovation and inheritance of national traditional culture.
