岩画、身份认同与原住民性

Rock art, identity andIndigeneity

岩画艺术研究取得的最重要的进展之一就是:考古学家们承认岩画艺术通常对原住民社区来说具有文化意义,并且此种文化意义在世世代代的原住民社区具有连绵不断的持续性。有些地区的岩画艺术传统实践始终不曾中断,有些岩画实践及其传统则是在原住民的重建运动中得到了恢复与复兴。然而,有关原住民社区的研究或许会遭遇到这样的一些问题,学界有时会认为研究者对岩画艺术的解读过于学术化、理论化了,而并没有关注到当代原住民群体,文章将从这一问题入手,着重论述原住民及其所属文化语境在岩画研究中的形貌。然而,学者们不禁会思考,艺术真的具有天生固有的“含义”吗?当我们思考到艺术内涵的终极问题时,文化赋权以及主体间性创造这些重要的提议便凸显出来了。文章也将对此展开论述。

One of the most important developments in the study of rock art is the recognition by archaeologists that rock art is often of cultural significance to Aboriginal communities,and that this cultural significance has continued for generations.In some areas,the traditional practice of rock art has never been interrupted,while in some areas,the practice and tradition of rock art have been restored and revived in the reconstruction movement of indigenous people.However,the research on Aboriginal communities may encounter some problems like this.Sometimes,the scholars think that the interpretation of rock art by researchers is too academic and theoretical,but they do not pay attention to the contemporary Aboriginal groups.This paper will start with this problem,focusing on the morphology of Aboriginal people and their cultural context in rock art research.However,scholars can't help thinking,does art really has inherent"meaning"?When we think about the ultimate problem of artistic connotation,the important proposals of cultural empowerment and inter subjectivity creation are highlighted.This paper will also discuss this.
