身体与身体美学

Body and Somaesthetics

关于身体的谈论不仅是人们最一般的日常话语之一，而且也是当前最重要的文化现象之一。日常性的谈论比较简单，它主要相关于身体的疾病、健康和快乐等；文化性的谈论则比较复杂，它不仅批评历史上身体的缺席，而且追求现实中身体的解放。这在身体写作(包括文学、美术和哲学等)中已成为了一个口号。如此种种关于身体的谈论意味着什么?它表明身体是一个问题，而且是相关于每一个人的问题。但它究竟是一个什么样的问题?

This paper analyses the different theories in the history of philosophy, emphasizing that any given body in reality is the one established by discourses. These discourses are the play activities of appetency, technology and wisdom. It also discusses the reflection of aesthetics on body, pointing out that the classic aesthetics forgets body, and the modern and post - modern aesthetics give prominence to body contrarily. In terms of above discussion, this paper tries to put forward such a fundamental issue about the aesthetics of body, namely, its natural and cultural mutual becoming in history. Finally, it points out that the task of somaesthetics is the liberation of body and feeling.
