略论民族艺术在当代文明冲突下的作用

The Role of Ethnic Art under the Conflict of Contemporary Civilizations: A Sketch Study

在经济和文化全球化的条件下,民歌这种古朴而且稳定性较强的艺术形式也发生了许多变化。本文以南宁国际民歌艺术所提出的问题为例,分析了民歌在当代大众文化模式中所体现出来的内在矛盾,初步分析了民族艺术在文明冲突和全球化的压力下的特殊作用。首先,民族艺术可以起到新文化建设"母胎"一样的作用;其次,民族艺术作为一种个性鲜明的艺术形式,同时又是大众化的文化形式,在保护文化的多样性方面具有不可替代的重要作用;再次,在社会主义艺术生产方式的条件下,民族艺术有可能发挥审美意识形态在社会转型和发展中的积极作用,成为少数民族地区经济、社会、文化发展的一种牵引性的力量,成为社会发展的先导或者说一种预演。

Under the context of cultural and economic globalization, folksongs as a simplistic, remote and fairly stable art form, has also undergone numerous changes. This paper presents an attempt to analyze the internal contradictions disclosed in the presentday mass culture models and a tentative study on the special roles of ethnic art under the conflict of civilization and the tension of globalization with the exemplification of the problems brought forth by the Nanning International Folksong Art. Firstly, it can play the role of a mother embroil in the formation of a new culture; secondly, as a distinctive art form as well as a form of mass culture, ethnic art plays an nonreplaceable role in the protection for cultural diversity; thirdly, ethnic art may play an active role of aesthetic ideology in social transformation and development, and become a leading force in the economic, social and culture development of the ethnic minority regions, a guide or herald to social development.
