当代审美教育与“审丑”

Current Aesthetic Education and Ugliness Appreciation

"审丑"具有审美不可替代的价值作用,美育的内容不应该仅仅只有审美,还应该包括"审丑"。文章从"丑"的历史性发展、"丑"的存在性价值,及其对大众文化的唯商品性和唯技术性的批判和否定意义等角度,肯定了"审丑"在当今审美文化发展中的现实作用,其重要的价值和和功能在当代审美教育中是不可或缺的。

Ugliness is a concept that reflects that human art is not in harmony with the social being during its struggle to adapt to the restless social development and should necessarily lead to a higher leveled comprehensiveness and harmony.Its very trait enables people to realize an horizontal transform of the esthetics from a negative nature to a new positive nature.On the other hand,the recognition of ugliness is still of some acquisitive value,for it not only helps people identify the social reality and shortcoming and difficulty of human being,but also awakes people from their unconscious routine through its imperfect decoding of people's real life,thus strengthens people's knowledge of drudging and negation.This function of appreciating ugliness makes it full of important realistic significances in disproving the commodity-oriented and technique-oriented modern aesthetics cultures.
