大众视域下的“海盗”文化浅析

A Brief Analysis of the Pirate Culture in the Vision of Popularity

与航海活动一并出现的海盗行为贯穿着整个西方文明史,这一母题作为文艺作品取材之源千年来历久弥新。尤其在当下,涉及海盗题材的诸多作品在资本的链条中勾连起艺术与文化产业,愈发演进、组合为一种极具辨识度的类型文化。这背后包孕着深层的文明因子:崇尚自由、重视追寻过程本身、乐于探讨人与环境的异化关系等,这一特征均与西方文明精神一脉相承。而当"大航海时代"只能以大众文化产品存续于世时,反映"大航天时代"的科幻作品接过其衣钵,将人类关于探索与异化的思索推向了又一高峰,两种幻想题材间存在着主题、立意、结构上的内在相似。若透过文化现象窥视文化心理,则能清晰窥见海盗与科幻于国内均属弱势题材在民族心理结构上的根本缘由。

Piracy,which is associated with maritime activities,runs through the whole history of western civilization.For thousands of years this motif is the source of literary and artistic works.Especially nowadays many pirate works are connecting the art with culture industry in the chain of capital,and they are increasingly evolving and combining into a kind of type culture with great recognition.Behind this are several deep civilization factors:advocating freedom,attaching importance to the pursuit process itself,and exploring the alienation relationship between people and the environment,which are all consistent with the spirit of western civilization.When the"Great Voyage"can only continue in the world with mass cultural products,the science fiction about"the era of big space"takes over its core features,pushing the thinking of human exploration and alienation to another peak.There are quite a few inner similarities between these two fantasy subjects like theme,conception and structure.If looking at cultural psychology through cultural phenomena,we can clearly see the fundamental reasons why pirates and science fiction are all weak subjects in the domestic environments.
