杜威生态美学视域下的美食经验——以纪录片《风味原产地·潮汕》为例

Food Experience Seen through Dewey’s Ecological Aesthetics:A Case Study of the Documentary Chaoshan,The Origin of Flavor

杜威美学中常出现“有机体”一词,具体到人类便包含着身体维度。身体具有的延伸性和创造性使自然的意义得以深入,它是存在的总和,意指人类身在其中的生活与世界。因此杜威生态美学以身体为中心,串联起自然与生活。这些美学观念在美食纪录片《风味原产地·潮汕》中得到了呼应。荧屏内,潮汕人体验着从选材到动手烹饪菜肴的美感,其中贯通着自然与身体之间不断的“做”与“受”;荧屏外,观众只需面对影像便可体验美味,在满足口腹之欲的同时享受生活之美,这是身体对生活的敏锐感受。一部纪录片将自然、身体与生活紧密相扣,荧屏内外跨越时空共同演绎着杜威生态美学的要义。

The word"organism"that often appears in Dewey’s ecological aesthetics contains the dimension of body when it comes to humanity.The extensibility and creativity of the body deepen the meaning of"nature",which is the sum of existence and refers to the life and world in which human beings live.Dewey’s ecological aesthetics takes body as the center,links nature and life.These aesthetic ideas find their echoes in the food documentary Chaoshan,The Origin of Flavor.On the screen,people in Chaoshan are experiencing the beauty of food from selecting materials to producing dishes.The process witnesses the internal exchange of"do"and"undergo"between the body and nature.Off the screen,the audience only needs to see the images to appreciate the delicacies and enjoy the beauty of life while satisfying the appetite,which embodies the body’s keen feeling of life.This documentary connects nature,body and life while elucidating the essence of Dewey’s ecological aesthetics on and off the screen,across time and space.
