On the Praxis-Oriented Semiotic Aesthetics in Eastern European Marxism

Eastern European Marxism,taking a critical stance towards structuralism,gave rise to a unique paradigm of praxis-oriented semiotic aesthetics.This novel approach posits that signs emerge from humans’social praxis and also function as a means of praxis.It further delves into the principle governing the generation and usage of signs,i.e.,the Economy Principle,the homogenization of signs,the situatedness or contextual constraints,as well as their aesthetic features and transcendental attributes.As a result,the praxis-oriented semiotic aesthetics within Eastern European Marxism exhibits distinct theoretical value.

The Study of “Imitation” Aesthetics in Ancient Painting Theory-Taking the Chinese and Western Sources as an Example

The theory of“imitation”in painting occupies a leading position in western art,which originated from the theory of“imitation”in ancient Greece,and has become one of the art theories affecting the world through the continuous development of later generations.Through the exploration of the source of“imitation”in China and the West,there are some comments on the meaning of“imitation”in Chinese classical painting theory,such as“transfer model writing”and“image form”,which is obvious differences from the west.Traditional Chinese painting is a combination of careful observation of natural things and subjective emotions to express their own aesthetic feelings,and ultimately form a vivid artistic conception.Modern imitation is borrowed from Western imitation.In fact,imitation in traditional painting has its own meaning,which contains Chinese aesthetic thought.“Imitation”aesthetics is unique in traditional Chinese painting and is the most important form of painting art.

The Past and Future of Aesthetics in Mathematics

This paper explores the connotations of mathematical aesthetics and its connections with art,facilitated by collaboration with Ester,an individual with an artistic professional background.It begins by tracing the historical evolution of aesthetics from the classical pursuit of authenticity to the modern shift toward self-expression in art.The discussion then highlights the similarities in the pursuit of truth between mathematics and art,despite their methodological differences.Through an analysis of aesthetic elements in mathematics,such as lines and function graphs,the article illustrates that the beauty of mathematics is not only manifested in cognitive processes but can also be intuitively expressed through visual arts.The paper further examines the influence of mathematics on the development of art,particularly how Leonardo da Vinci applied mathematical principles to his artworks.Additionally,the article addresses art students’perceptions of mathematics,proposes the customization of math courses for art students,and discusses future trends in the integration of mathematics and art,emphasizing the significance of art therapy and the altruistic direction of art.Lastly,the authors use a poster to visually convey the idea that the beauty of mathematics can be experienced through the senses.

Myth and Digital Fantasy from the Perspective of Technical Aesthetics

The surreal space of digital technology development has created an unprecedented utopian mythological world.The virtual reality research started in the 1960s has gradually become a reality with the support of hardware technology.The media mode of observing the world by simulating human eyes with cameras is being replaced by computer simulation technology.The metaverse global vision based on virtual space and sense of time obscures the traditional perspective,and a novel progressive aesthetic category gradual y emerges.Starting with the aesthetic experience of myth brought by digital technology,this paper reviews the history of myth and analyzes the mental image of myth and religion to push the origin of life to a more profound realm.The contemporary“myth”following technological development changes the situation of human cognition of the world,separates the myth from the historical frame and relates it to the contemporary ongoing.

Flavor Amidst Plainness:An Examination of the Subjectivity of the“People’s Films”From the Perspective of Classical Aesthetics

The“People’s Films,”when examined from the perspective of classical aesthetics,present a unique visual style that creates artistic conceptions through sparse filming and deliver a scenery-based ideology through background shots,contributing to the overall aesthetic taste dominated by plainness.Chinese national aesthetic tastes,distinguished by implicitness,symbolism,and ethereality,have the magical power to present charming conceptions via plain and simple scenes,thus endowing the“People’s Films”with natural,plain,and harmonious frames that are unique to China.Behind the silent and plain scenes are representations of personal cultivation and essential values cherished by the Chinese people,which are achieved via the momentary presence and entirety of scenes photographed in the films,delivering an internal transcendence of people’s consciousness.

The Constructed Image:“China”in Gertrude Stein’s Composite Matrix of Aesthetics and Politics

中国美学何以可能?

为了解决中国美学“何以是中国的、又是美学的”这一难题,我们需要在跨文化美学的框架下区分术语与话语这两个概念。一方面,术语不同于话语。美学,就其术语意义而言,并无中西之别,职是之故,美学术语可以进行跨文化旅行,实现中西互译互释,因而中国美学是“美学”的。另一方面,话语又离不开术语,是术语的语境化表达。就话语意义而言,中国美学是借用西方术语对中国审美经验和情感方式的话语表述,是中华民族对美的价值追求的理性体现,而不是西方美学的本土化,因而中国美学是“中国”的。总之,跨文化美学使得“既是中国的、又是美学的”中国美学成为可能,因而是中国美学的实质。

“物色”作为中华感兴美学精神之光的灿烂显现

“物色”作为中华感兴美学理论的一个基本范畴,最初由刘勰提出。“物色”既是中华古典艺术审美“感物”“感兴”“比兴”得以发生的对象来源,又是古典艺术“意象”“气象”“意境”得以生成的重要基础。物色论是进入中国古典美学尤其是感兴美学研究的必经之路,但学界对物色论美学范畴的研究相对薄弱。“物色”美学范畴在中国美学史上形成了一个绵延不断的学术谱系。“物色”美学范畴的哲学基础是中国古代气论哲学和气感哲学。“物色”是宇宙元气和天地精神在自然物象之声色状貌光影中的感性闪耀,同时又是人的德性精神之光与自由精神之光的生动呈现。物色成为中华感兴美学精神之光的灿烂显现。物色论美学可与西方美学的自然美论、形式美论、审美感性论、灿烂感性论、存在境域论加以比较,亦可与德国古典美学精神和马克思主义美学精神相互发明。物色美学范畴因而具有重要的当代意义和普遍价值,值得展开系统研究和现代阐释。

从视觉中心主义到审美资本主义——以抖音为例的短视频文化解读

以短视频为代表的图像文化已进入到人们生活的各个领域,图像无处不在。短视频成为我们生活中“物”的一种类型,视觉文化不只是沟通和反映我们的生活世界,也是在创造世界。从短视频对当今社会全方位的影响程度看,它充分体现了“视觉中心主义”或“视界政体”特征。短视频系统构建了“全景敞视视界”体系,以统计学的方法形成了“全景敞视监狱”式的监视模式,并以“投其所好”的推送方式实现对观看者的无形规训;人们的窥视本能与短视频的“审美诱惑”相结合,以审美的名义实现资本利益的获取,实为一种审美资本主义。

意境美学与气氛美学的跨文化互释

在全球化语境下,作为中国美学之独特形态的意境美学,与西方晚近兴起的气氛美学之间存在颇多可比照阐发、交流互鉴之处。在主客关系上,意境美学与气氛美学都打破了传统美学主客二分的思维方式,分别以“心-物”模式和“身-物”模式致力于审美主体与对象之间的间性关系的建构;不过意境美学融入与运用了综合的审美心理机能,侧重审美活动中精神性体验,将气氛美学中建立在感知学之上的“自然之物”进行了抬升和跨越,故作为意境美学基本单位的意象可以视为气氛之物的形而上之维。正是由于以上关联之处,一方面通感联觉是两种美学重要的审美生理-心理基础之一,另一方面作为审美范畴的“意境”和“气氛”都处于不断生成的状态之中,因而审美主体获得的美感体验都是历时性的情感体验,是一种“绵延”的美感。同时,意境美学和气氛美学都是在空间中进行审美,共同关注意境与气氛所营造的“虚实空间”。不仅如此,在情景创设、情调营造等方面,意境美学与气氛美学又可落实为一种共通的审美创造方案。基于以上事实,在意境美学与气氛美学之间进行广泛而深入的对话,既可为中西美学在交流互鉴中实现创新融合提供案例,还可在一定程度上激活中国古典美学的当代价值。

交集与汇通:电影工业美学的“工作伦理”兼与其他学派关系的思考

电影工业美学主张电影从业者秉持踏实勤恳、理性自制的职业精神,在电影制作的复杂流程中,各司其职、尽职尽责、高效配合,使电影实现品质和效益的最大化。这种“工作伦理”精神体现在电影的内部/外部层面。在内部层面主张制作表达大同性、常人化伦理观的电影作品,并与电影伦理学共同关注中国电影对伦理底线的恪守;但电影工业美学倡导对伦理表达方式的宽容。在外部层面,电影工业美学主张电影的大众文化品性,即对新老受众群体——“常人”所赏之美给予尊重。其“工作伦理”精神则与电影共同体美学在电影系统的和谐高效方面追求一致,但主张避免过度注重整体共情,造成电影审美上的单一。电影工业美学的“工作伦理”旨在通过维护电影制作过程的伦理和谐,提升电影的品质,促进电影传递正向伦理,丰富其伦理品格。电影工业美学与电影伦理学和电影共同体美学交集汇通、“互文”互见,既提升了中国电影的伦理品格和人学高度,也是对“中国电影学派”学术体系、话语体系、学科体系建构务实的有效实践。

幼儿园美育课程建设的时代意蕴与实践路径

美育引领人们以审美的态度去审视自然、社会及人类自身。新时代幼儿美育应引导幼儿去感受和发现生活中各种美的事物,激发其审美情趣,初步养成他们的审美能力。美育课程具有和谐性、弥散性和濡润性,幼儿园应基于美育课程融合、生成、体验和泛在四种基本形态,以爱为基础释放幼儿无穷的生命力量,以真为准则来促进幼儿经验的多维生长,以趣为方法来绽放幼儿的游戏精神。在实践路径上,幼儿园一是要把握融合育人理念,建构立体化的美育课程框架;二是要打破时空地域限制,全方位整合美育课程资源;三是要提升教师美育素养,持续强化教师美育课程胜任力;四是要发挥评价育人效应,科学构建美育课程评价机制。
