慢速审美:竞速社会审美救赎的幻象——与杨向荣、张谡商榷

Slow Speed Aesthetics:The Illusion of Aesthetic Redemption in Racing Society--Discussion with Yang Xiangrong and Zhang Su

“慢速审美”是一种与加速社会对应的“减速”审美方式,是对现代性的一种反叛。杨向荣、雷云茜将其视为对加速文化的回应与反思,张谡在商榷文章中肯定其对加速的批判的同时,提出技术弊端不能完全依靠思维术来解决,且慢速审美的实践是从属于西方世界的地方性话语体系。在此需要商榷的有两点:一方面,慢速审美不过是人抵抗异化的温和路线,不足以让人们走向诗意的栖居;另一方面,审美资本对大众审美趣味进行塑造,并借助消费主义损害人们对审美的真实追求,慢速审美已是资本的傀儡。戳破慢速审美的幻象,思考社会变革,也许才能摆脱速度对人的奴役。

“Slow speed aesthetics”is a form of“decelerated”aesthetic experience that corresponds to the accelerating pace of society,representing a rebellion against modernity.Professor Yang and others consider it as a response and reflection on the accelerating modernity while Professor Zhang affirms the criticism of acceleration,and argues that technological drawbacks cannot be resolved through intellectual methods,and the practice of slow aesthetics is part of a localized discourse within the Western world.There are two aspects that need to be discussed here.On the one hand,slow speed aesthetics is merely a gentle resistance to alienation,insufficient to lead people to a poetic dwelling.On the other hand,aesthetic capitalism shapes the tastes of people,then undermines people's authentic pursuit of aesthetics,making slow aesthetics a puppet of capitalism.By debunking the illusion of slow aesthetics and contemplating social change,we may be able to break free from the tyranny of speed over humanity.
