批判与治理——马克思主义美学建构的两条路径

Criticism and Governance:Two Ways of Constructing Marxist Aesthetics

在马克思主义美学发展的历史中,批判理论一直居于主导地位,推动了理论体系的有序演进,成为马克思主义美学的标志性话语系统。随着马克思主义成为国家意识形态后,被长期忽视的治理话语系统开始慢慢进入马克思主义美学研究者的视野。作为文化治理体系核心部分的审美治理,亦开始成为马克思主义美学研究的另一个生长点,展现出值得深入开掘的空间。从整体上看,审美批判和审美治理是马克思主义美学发展的两条基本路径,二者不是矛盾冲突的,而是并行不悖、相互依赖的。完整的马克思主义美学系必须同时包含二者,在批判理论的基础上,展开建设性理论的话语系统。

In the development history of Marxist aesthetics,critical theory has been in a dominant position and promoted the orderly evolution of the theoretical system of Marxist aesthetics. Critical theory has become the symbolic discourse system of Marxist aesthetics. With Marxism becoming the national ideology,the long-neglected governance discourse system has gradually won the attention of researchers in Marxist aesthetics As the core of the cultural governance system,aesthetic governance is also becoming another “growing point” of Marxist aesthetic research and showing great potential for in-depth exploration. On the whole, aesthetic criticism and aesthetic governance are two basic paths for developing Marxist aesthetics. They are not contradictory but parallel and interdependent. They are integral to the Marxist aesthetic system. The discourse system of constructive theory must be built on the basis of critical theory.
