全球化视域下的艺术界考察与实验民族志书写——2020年度西方艺术人类学研究动态及热点评述

Observation of the Art Worlds and the Writing of Experimental Ethnography from the Perspective of Globalization-Review of the Trends and Hot Topics of Western Anthropology of Arts in 2020

2020年度,西方艺术人类学的研究方式变得更具实验性,面对全球化世界中复杂的文化现象,民族志与当代艺术进一步融合,以一种超文本、多模态、多感官的方式展开。与此同时,随着传统艺术史叙事之外的土著群体积极投身艺术与文化领域,艺术人类学的研究视域随之被拓宽,进入了更为丰富的全球艺术界场景。民族志更具实验性,艺术家与人类学家通过舞台剧、策展、行走、视频网站等手段广泛探讨社会议题;盖尔、特纳的艺术人类学理论在新的时空背景之下得以批判性发展,同时设计人类学理论也有了新的探讨;土著学者和策展人参与到了"书写土著艺术"这一竞技场中;人类学家积极参与艺术界观察,从国家政策、艺术机构、艺术家群体等角度入手,在更为复杂的社会场景中进行反思与批判。

In 2020, the research methods of Western anthropology of arts has become more experimental. Facing the complex cultural phenomena in the globalized worlds, ethnography and contemporary art have been further integrated in a hypertext, multi-modal and multi-sensory way. Meanwhile, as indigenous groups outside the narrative of traditional art history have actively participated in the fields of art and culture, anthropology of arts has broadened its research horizons and entered a richer global art scene. Ethnography is more experimental as artists and anthropologists exploring social issues through stage performances, curations, walks, and video websites. Under the background of the new space-time, Gell and Turner’s theory of anthropology of arts has developed critically, and the theory of anthropology of design has also been discussed. Indigenous scholars and curators have participated in the "writing of indigenous art". Anthropologists actively participate in the observation of the art worlds, from the perspectives of national policies, art institutions, artist groups and so on, to reflect and criticize in more complex social scenes.
