怯魅的摄影——文化修养课堂的摄影教育

Disenchanted Photography——the Photography Education as a Form of Cultural Literacy

摄影的大众化正是当代摄影怯魅的体现。在摄影普及趋势以及大众文化视觉转向日益显著的今天,高等院校到底需要培养何种摄影人才?摄影专业的青年学生不应只是商业社会的傀儡和自我陶醉的文艺青年,而应当以摄影为工具,观察生活、揭示社会。摄影,可以并且有必要担当起提高当代青年文化素质和人文修养的重任。而高校作为摄影教育的阵地,也应当摆脱功利性目的、神秘主义和教条主义思维,摒弃唯技术论和精英主义的、乌托邦式的艺术观,将学生人文精神的培养作为摄影教育的重点。

The popularization of photography is a sign of the modern photography tend to disenchant.Nowadays, with the popularization of photography and the increasingly prominent shift of mass cultural vision, what kind of photographic talents do colleges and universities need to cultivate?Young photography students should not only be the puppet of the commercial society and the self-intoxicated literary youth, but should use photography as a tool to observe life and reveal the society.Photography can and is necessary to improve the cultural quality and cultural accomplishment of contemporary youth.As the position of education in photography, colleges and universities should get rid of utilitarian purpose,mysticism and dogmatism thinking, abandon technology-oriented and elitist, utopian art view, and take the cultivation of students' humanistic spirit as the focus of education in photography.
