作为独特研究领域的民族艺术学

Ethnonational Art Studies as a Unique Field of Research

在铸牢中华民族共同体意识的时代背景之下,应当重新认识和理解民族与民族艺术。在当下重提民族艺术学学科建设问题正是建立在对于以往学术研究的反思基础之上的。民族艺术学作为学科或者研究领域的合法性首先就必须以围绕基本概念的学术理念作为基础,对于围绕"民族"的分类概念有更为包容和更为动态化的理解,对于民族艺术研究所处的历史与现实处境有纵贯性的认识。民族艺术学在当下之所以能够建构、之所以具有重要价值,必须和这些新的理解和认识联系起来,使之成为当下和未来中国艺术学和民族学学科体系中的重要组成部分。而在以学术问题为核心的多学科共在的跨学科的统一性学术背景中,具有学科意识却又不再去纠缠分支学科或者交叉学科的地位,似乎更能够凸显这一独特研究领域的学术价值和现实意义,以研究中的特殊贡献使民族学与艺术学一同获益,使民族艺术学成为中国学术体系中不可替代的一种存在。

Under the background of forging a strong sense of the community of the Chinese nation, we should re-understand nationality and ethnonational art. Paying attention to the issue of the disciplinary construction of ethnic art again is based on the reflection of previous academic research. The legitimacy of ethnonational art as a discipline or a field of research must be based on academic ideas around the basic concepts. A more inclusive and dynamic understanding of the classification of the concept around “ethnonationality” and a longitudinal understanding of the historical and realistic situation of the research of ethnonational art are necessary. The construction and the understanding of the importance of ethnonational art must be associated with these new understandings so as to make it an important part of the disciplinary system of Chinese art studies and ethnology for the present and the future. In an unified academic background containing multiple disciplines with academic issues as the core, in order to highlight the academic value and practical significance of this unique research field it is necessary to have disciplinary consciousness while no longer considering the status of branch disciplines or interdisciplinary disciplines. With the help of special contributions of the research, from which ethnology and arts studies can benefit, ethnonational art can become an irreplaceable existence in Chinese academic system.
