“小传统”文化视域中的美学发展路径探寻

A Probe into the Path of Development of Aesthetics from the Perspective of "Little Tradition"

在文化多样性的观念不断发展和保护文化多样性的实践不断推进的背景下,以非物质文化遗产为代表的小传统文化不但对基于有机统一社会观的传统文化理论是一种挑战,对于经典美学理论也是一种挑战。不难发现,小传统美学具有学术创新和文化建设的双重重要性。在与经典美学理论的对比中可以发现,小传统美学并非以美的普遍性和历史性为最基本的观念基础,而是需要研究场所记忆("乡恋")的文化意义,以及当代文化空间的复杂性,在此基础上认识文化多样性背景下的审美文化共享。这种审美文化共享,也正是小传统美学突破经典美学、实现美学转型发展的可能路径之一。

With the development of cultural diversity and its protection,'little traditions'represented by intangible cultural heritage challenge not only traditional cultural theories based on the organic unity of society but also classical theories of aesthetics.'Little tradition'aesthetics has its significance both in academic innovation and cultural construction.It is based not on the universality and historicity of beauty,but on the cultural significance of spatial memory('nostalgia')and the complexity of contemporary cultural space.It is on this basis that the shared sense of aesthetics against the background of cultural diversity can be properly understood.This kind of aesthetic and cultural sharing provides a possible path through which'little tradition'aesthetics can break the limits of classical aesthetics to realize its transformation.
