文艺大众化讨论与瞿秋白无产阶级文艺范式的建构

瞿秋白领导和推动了发生于20世纪30年代初期的第二次文艺大众化讨论。1930年代初,瞿秋白“赋闲”上海,领导左翼文化运动。建立起与左联内部的有效沟通,熟悉和掌握左翼文学大致情况之后,瞿秋白先通过茅盾传达了自己关于革命文艺发展的思考,期间通过起草《苏维埃的文化革命》《中国无产阶级革命文学的新任务》等文件,将“大众化”作为文化运动的中心问题。1932年3月左联完成改组工作,经过思想上、组织上充分准备之后,瞿秋白推出《普洛大众文艺的现实问题》等系列文章,阐述了革命文艺的无产阶级方向,构建了“立场-题材-文腔”三位一体的无产阶级文艺范式,为蓬勃兴起的无产阶级文艺提供了崭新的认识论和方法论指导。

艺术本质核心元素探析

艺术的本质问题是一个论争了几个乃至十几个世纪的话题,也是一个曾经被“反本质主义”要放弃和搁置讨论的形而上问题。从历史上看,研究者曾从“模仿”“形式”“表现”来界定艺术的本质。可以说,艺术既是对现实的“模仿”,又不完全是,因为“模仿”的目的是要表达作者的情感和感受。艺术既是要创造一种美的“形式”,又不完全是,因为通过美的“形式”也还是要表达作者的艺术追求和主观感受。因此,无论“模仿说”还是“形式说”,最终的目的都是要表达或表现作者的主观感觉。“表现”才是艺术中最主要和最核心的元素,“表现说”也更充分地体现着艺术的本质。

中国文艺国际传播历程、发展机遇和路径创新

中国文艺思想始终秉持“文艺为人民”的发展理念。中国文艺国际传播经历了从内化到外显,由自发到自觉的发展历程。文艺国际传播不仅是提升我国文化软实力的重要路径,也是推动全球文化多样性和丰富性的关键手段。随着新兴媒介的快速发展,中国文艺国际传播的受众也由原先的西方精英阶层拓展到大众群体。这就需要文艺国际传播关注和研究目标受众需求和大众审美趋势。新兴媒介推动着文艺生产和视听传播新形态,提升了中国文艺国际传播效果。中国文艺国际传播需要探索创新路径。文艺传播要与新兴媒介技术深入融合,数字文艺作品如能开启“数字灵韵”,将会提升观众审美体验;需要打破西方文化霸权,建立国际交往新秩序,建构文艺国际传播体系;创新始于用户,而非生产者,文艺国际传播需致力为当地受众服务;惟有将文化国际传播嵌入国际传播大平台,才能形成广泛联结。

教学遗憾及其应对策略

教学遗憾是指教师在遵守教学规律的前提下,竭尽所能地开展教学活动后仍发现现实教学与理想教学之间存在差距而引发的一种后悔感,以及渴望进一步优化教学的迫切感。它不等于且不包含教学失误。教学失误是教学科学层面上的一个事实性存在,表明教师的教学存在问题,而教学遗憾则是教师教学艺术层面上的一种心理状态,表明教师在追求卓越教学。教学遗憾若为教师所意识与所重视,便能助力教师的深度发展,促成美好的教学生活,达致教学的卓越境界。其生成的前提是理想教学的无限性,生成的基础是教学过程的开放性,生成的关键是教师发展的蝶化性。教学遗憾虽具有重要价值,但教师不能故意制造遗憾,也不能有意回避遗憾。为更好地发挥教学遗憾的价值,教师应转变教学观念,理性地认识遗憾;释放教学想象,敏锐地发现遗憾;注重教学反思,深入地分析遗憾;善于教学探索,坚守学生立场、把守学习立场、恪守学科立场,持续地转化遗憾。

恩格斯的“历史观点”与他的现实主义文艺观——兼论“历史观点”的翻译

恩格斯的“历史观点”翻译为“史学观点”是不大妥当的。在恩格斯两篇涉及“历史观点”的重要文献中,“历史观点”的核心内涵都是“现实”。恩格斯的“现实”包含三个方面的含义:一是当下的现实;二是过去的现实或者说历史上的现实;三是作者、批评家的思想与认识立足当下的现实,同时符合历史的现实。其基本指向是“真正的现实”。恩格斯的“历史观点”与其现实主义文艺观的关系可以从三个方面探讨:其一,“历史观点”促进了恩格斯文艺思想的现实主义转向;其二,二者相互契合;其三,二者相互促进。

论赵翼的题画诗

赵翼是可与袁枚媲美的性灵派诗人,也是清中期的一代才人。他“才擅诗书画,心参形影神”,早年在京城任编修时,就曾自作小照《鸥北耘菘图》,显示出深厚的书画艺术功底。除《论诗》诗外,他还创作了大量带品鉴评论性质的题画诗,其“我我周旋共影非”之论,对佳山水、真山水的换位言说以及“天工人巧日争新”主张,渗透着性灵诗学重情感、显个性和求创新的精神。赵翼的题画诗不拘格套,在写照传神的品评与江山胜景的礼赞中,出入“奇与正”“真与幻”“庄与徘”之间,充分展示才人的性情、才艺和品格,彰显天工人巧日争先的文艺创新思想。
