“情动转向”下的当代公共情感研究与艺术

The Study of Contemporary Public Sentiment and Art from the“A ffective Turn”

受人文领域“情动转向”的影响,情动的问题逐渐成为学界研究的热点议题。人们关注情动理论,一方面是基于对20世纪前文化批评理论的不满,另一方面,在对情动问题的聚焦中也隐藏了当下人们的情感匮乏或过剩。“什么是情动?”“情动能做什么?”“如何认识和管理我们的情感?”这些问题在后疫情时代,以及“躺平”和“内卷”交织的当下是迫在眉睫的。本文简要梳理了当代情感研究的理论脉络及“公共情感”的问题,并对本期相关专题论文所涉议题进行概述。

Influenced bythe"affectiveturn"in the humanities study,the issue of"affect"has gradually become a hot topic in academic research.Interest in affect theory arises,on one hand,from dissatisfaction with pre-20thcentury cultural criticism theories,and on the other hand,from the hidden emotional deficiencies or excesses in contemporary society.Questions such as"What is affect?","What can affect do?",and"How can we understand and manage our emotions?"have become pressing in the post-pandemic era,when people areflip-flopping between"downshifting"and"overcompetition"in life and everything.This article briefly combs the theoretical context of contemporary sentiment studies and the problem of"public sentiment",and gives an overview of the issues involved in the relevant articles.
