论艺术学理论学科的实证性研究

On the Positive Research of the Theory of Art

当代艺术学理论研究不仅需要思辨性研究,而且需要实证性研究。一般来说,理论研究多以思辨性研究为主,以实证性研究为辅,应用性研究多以实证性研究为主体,也可以将理论思辨与实证研究相融合。实证性研究可以为理论研究提供可靠的佐证,帮助研究者作出科学的判断,提升艺术学理论研究的可信度和对社会实践的指导作用,激活艺术学理论研究的学术环境与氛围。然而在当下,实证性研究尚存在调研意识淡薄、目标定位不准确,调研方式粗糙、调查结果不客观,案例研究失当、材料分析不准确,缺乏辨析能力、难以做出正确的价值判断等问题。基于此,研究者应当洞悉艺术学理论学科新的特点与规律,探索适应其特色的研究方式和方法。艺术学理论学科既是抽象的,又是具象的;既是理论的,又是实践的;既是人文的,又是与多学科交叉的;既是审美的,又是理性的。唯有适应该学科的基本特点,不断拓展艺术学理论研究的方式,方能推动学科整体研究水平的持续提升。

Empirical research can provide reliable evidence for theoretical research,help researchers make scientific judgments,enhance the credibility of theoretical research on art and its guiding role in social practice,and activate the academic environment and atmosphere of theoretical research on art.Researchers should have insight into the new characteristics and laws of the art theory discipline,and explore the research methods and methods that adapt to its characteristics.The theoretical discipline of art is both abstract and concrete;It is both theoretical and practical;It is both humanistic and interdisciplinary;It is both aesthetic and rational.Only by adapting to the basic characteristics of the discipline and constantly broadening the scope of the theoretical research methods of art science can we promote the continuous improvement of the overall research level of the discipline.
