后殖民主义的政治向度与美学观照——国外萨义德政治美学思想研究述评

The Political Dimension and Aesthetic View of Post-Colonialism:A Review of the Foreign Studies on Said's Political Aesthetics Thought

作为20世纪具有世界影响力的文化批评家,萨义德以文化形态的小说为切入点,阐释美学对政治的态度、参照系、生活经验、文化抵抗运动和民族属性的影响与作用。就此,萨义德以东方主义为核心的后殖民批评建构西方叙事的政治美学分析模式。萨义德政治美学思想在批评话语的政治向度、主体政治的美学观照中呈现知识分子与民族文学的审美救赎,本文力图在此三个维度梳理和探析国外萨义德政治美学思想研究的学理分析框架,并以此基础剖析萨义德文化政治批评的融合性与矛盾性,探讨东方意识形态和西方审美趋向的跨地域对话与跨文化交流,为我国政治美学学科的建设与发展提供借鉴和启示,彰显政治美学思想在社会历史发展中的理论意义和实践价值。

As an influential cultural critic in the 20th century,Edward Said explained the influence and function of aesthetics on political attitude,frame of reference,life experience,cultural resistance and national attribute from the angel of novels as cultural forms.In this regard,Said's postcolonial criticism with Orientalism as its core constructs the political aesthetic analysis mode of western narratology.In the political dimension of critical discourse and the aesthetic view of the politics of subjectivity,Said's political aesthetic thought presents the aesthetic salvation of intellectuals and national literature.This paper tries to analyze and explore the theoretical analysis framework of foreign studies on Said's political aesthetic thought in these three dimensions,and probe into the fusion and contradiction characters of Said's cultural political criticism based on this,to explore the cross-regional dialogue and cross-cultural exchange between eastern ideology and western aesthetic trend.This can provide reference and enlightenment for the construction and development of political aesthetics in China,and show the theoretical and practical value of political aesthetics in the development of social history.
