“棱镜”中的“唯美”:五四前后唯美主义中国传播考论

“Aestheticism” in “Prism”: On the Spread of Aestheticism in China Before and After the May 4th Movement

唯美主义思潮在五四前后的传播弥散于译介、创作、研究和文化批判活动中,它在四组话语视角的张力中"变异":为人生-为艺术;群体-个体;乡土-都市;旧形式-新形式。基于四组矛盾的话语视角对唯美主义思潮在五四新文化、新文学运动中的接受与传播情况进行重估,能够更深入地认识唯美主义并反思中西文化融通的某些规律。由于五四运动的复杂性,中西文化的差异以及唯美主义本身的多层次,唯美主义思潮在五四运动之棱镜中被折射出多重面相,观念性的思潮经过异质文化语境的"误读"后反而还原出某些本质性的构成因子。

Aestheticism spreads in literary translation, creation, studies and cultural criticism before and after the May 4 th Movement. Aestheticism varies in the tension of four groups of discourses and perspectives: for life - for art;group consciousness - individual consciousness;rural - urban;old form - new form. It is necessary to reevaluate the reception and dissemination of Aestheticism in the May 4 th Movement from four groups of contradictory discourses and perspectives, so as to have a deeper understanding of Aestheticism and reflect on some laws of the integration between Chinese and Western cultures. Due to the complexity of the May 4 th movement, the differences between Chinese and Western cultures and the multi-level Aestheticism itself, the trend of Aestheticism is refracted through the prism of the May 4 th Movement. After the "misreading" of the heterogeneous cultural context, the ideological trend reverts to some essential factors.
