Bourriaud＇s Relational Aesthetics, Lacanian Aggressivity, and Teaching Contemporary Art History to Studio Art Students

Nicholas Bourriaud＇s relational aesthetics is regarded as a new approach to art history and criticism, but has recently been appropriated by many art programs as a pedagogical and productive strategy in the classroom. While there is much that is positive in Bourriaud＇s ideas in the first sense, its translation into a studio situation is problematic. Offering a corrective through Lacanian psychoanalysis, with acknowledgement of additional figures with corresponding ideas, it is proposed that Bourriaud＇s ideas are valuable additions to pedagogy generally but are equally in need of modifications that encompass a critical understanding of the desire structures of both students and faculty.

Representations of Contentious History Through Art:The Collective Trauma of Guernica

The question this study is attempting to address is how art can be used as a tool for promoting sustainable peace and the formation of a critical and accountable citizen.Such humanistic function of art is challenged in situations where society has been wounded as it often happens during and after the war.This study claims that challenges are fundamentally connected to the problem of historical narratives,especially those related to collective traumas,their use and role in shaping the views of the future generations.Narratives about the contentious past,and particularly collective traumas,are considered an important part of the cultural capital and collective identity of a society serving as a nation-building tool that unifies and glorifies the“in-group”.They can also serve to mobilize people along ethnic lines,which can lead to tensions and conflict.The aim of the study is to examine historical narratives and representations of the collective trauma of Guernica,the epicenter of the Basque identity and culture.The article concludes with an analysis of the artistic representations of collective trauma,such as the famous Picasso’s painting Guernica that has served to promote the message of peace by provoking critical thinking and accountability.

Research on the Application of CAI Computer Technology in the Teaching of Western Art History

The purpose of the computer aided instruction(CAI)is to improve the teachers'teaching efficiency and stimulate the students'interests in their learning.By using the modem means of the computer aided instruction(CAI),we can do a better job in our teaching.The application of the computer-aided instruction(CAI)in the art teaching should be guided by the new ideas and concepts in the best environment for the students to leam in the most efficient and intuitive way to promote the development of the educational modernization.The current situation of the CAI courseware assistant teaching is good as a whole,but there are still some shortcomings in three aspects:the teachers'CAI skill proficiency,the integration and sharing of the CAI teaching resources,and the frequency of the CAI courseware teaching.The teaching of the art history needs to be improved.

The Modern History of England in Art

Images are the key for us to sort out modern British history and study the development of early industrial civilization.This paper takes the most classic representative works of those immortal artists in the long river of British art to create a section of immortal history,and review the historical fragments of modern Britain from the painting brush of art masters,and intuitively feel the historical customs,dress etiquette and natural scenery of Britain at that time.

Causes and Solutions in Construction of the Historical Conception of Senior High School Fine Art Students

Artistic specialty students are relatively special in high school education of our country,fine art students is one of them.This article explains the reasons for the current problems to art students in the process of constructing the conception of history,combining with the actual conditions,it tentatively proposes corresponding solutions to promote the deepening development of the history teaching of art students and the construction of the conception of history,carry out the educational requirements of“strengthening moral education and cultivating people”in the teaching process.

Virtual Reality and Learning: A Case Study of Experiential Pedagogy in Art History

While images are central to the discipline of art history, surprisingly little research has been conducted on the uses of digital environments for teaching in the discipline. Over the past decade, more studies have emerged considering the egalitarian space that can be used by students and teachers in web-based applications and social media. A body of literature has begun to emerge out of a small network of scholars and educators interested in digital humanities and art history, providing examples of how new tools can be integrated into the standard slideshow and lecture format of the field. At the same time, the latest technology that proves revolutionary for the field has had very little study-virtual reality (VR). Additionally, sensory evidence for digital art history and the creation of immersive interactive and multimodal environments for knowledge production is still underexplored. As multiple educational metaverses are currently under development, understanding best practices and pedagogical use of VR has never been timelier. This study seeks to review the pedagogical use of VR in art history current in the field and introduces results from a study of the most effective ways to use these immersive experiences using Bloom’s revised taxonomy. Results confirm that the most effective method to structure VR assignments is to provide training on the technology, provide students with the necessary instructional material to introduce the concept, skill or technique to be learned, create or select an immersive experience that reinforces that topic, and conclude with a debrief or discussion about major takeaways from the experience.

The Function of Generalization in Art History:Understanding Art across Traditions

艺术史述说例证着巴克桑德尔(Michael Baxandall)所称的对绘画的"推论式批评",而巴氏则又可谓沃尔海姆(Richard Wollheim)所谓"作为救回的批评"的一个例证,本文试图探讨如何评估这些述说的充分性。问题在于,我们要如何对阐释设定更为普遍的"科学"限制,让这些述说的阐释性质以及那些要提供跨文化跨历史理解的诉求一致起来。针对格尔兹探讨的阐释的人种志中提出的问题,本文清理了沃尔海姆有关巴克桑德尔的说法,亦即沃氏认为巴氏所述乃"个案内的概括"而非"跨个案的概括"。为此,针对格尔兹所谓的"个案内的概括",本文提出一种"实用主义的"解读。这样的解读目标在于提供一个"可理解的框架",以便确定一套推定的能指的位置;这个框架存在的理由在于能够服务于我们的阐释实践所植根的认知兴趣。本文认为,巴氏对"推论式批评"的辩护应该视为一种类似于"实用主义"方式的辩护方法。为此,本文从启发式原则的角度,分析了巴氏的论述。

Tracing to the Pedigree Origin of Craig Clunas's View of Chinese Art History

Craig Clunas's academic thinking is deeply influenced by western deconstruction and post-colonialism,among which Foucault's thought of"discourse power"and Bourdieu's theory of"cultural capital"are the most well-known.The knowledge system constructed by the academic circles in Europe and America has great inspiration for Craig Clunas in the study of the history of Chinese art,which enables him to draw knowledge nutrients from these theories,fully consider and learn from these viewpoints and form his own theoretical framework.Craig Clunas integrates the"interdisciplinary"research ideas of western scholars in his research,and tries to use the theories of economics,sociology and anthropology to solve the specific problems of art history.The following is a brief talk about the important influence of two French scholars on Craig Clunas.

优化:人工智能时代的文论问题

日常用语中的“优化”指采取一定措施使事物变得优异。作为计算科学和运筹学中的重要内容,优化是指在一定限制条件下,选取某种方案以获得“最优化”的目标。将优化引入文论,可以与美化相关联,彼此之间有同有异。生成式AI中,优化有模型训练、创意提示、调试迭代三种方式。文艺作品之所以能够被优化,与其作为物质基础的艺术媒介及其作品的“可修正性”有关。在优化的技术演进中,先后经历了手工加工时代的优化、机械复制时代的优化、数字创生时代的优化三个阶段。手工加工时代出现了诸如对“手稿”的“润色、修改”,对“乐器”的“调音”,对“原作”的“临摹、誊写甚至重写”,对“文物、遗迹”的“修复”等不同的“类优化”类型;机械复制时代出现了“参数优化”“剪辑优化”“表演优化”等类型;数字创生时代出现了以算法优化为核心的智能优化。将优化引入文论,需要警惕“最优化”的结果不是“奇异性”,而是“普通性”的算法悖论、数据和变量中的偏差不易被纠偏;相反,易强化成偏见的偏差悖论以及随机并不意味着不同,而只是相似,是风格的重复的生成悖论。

新文科建设与中国美术史书写的“破”与“立”

新文科建设背景下的中国美术史书写维度,应该是在充分尊重中国文化传统生成的语境下,通过学科交叉和跨界融通,在原有学科体系基础上不断升华与拓展,从学科交叉的边界拓展新的研究领域与新的知识领域,以包容的姿态和学科新理念,进一步激活中国美术历史写作范式的多种可能和可行性,构筑更加完备的美术学科体系、学术体系和话语体系。与此同时,新文科建设所倡导的中国美术史研究如其他人文学科研究一样,在发挥自身学科优势的同时,强化民族文化自信心和自豪感,为提高国家文化软实力和影响力发挥积极作用,提升新文科教育以文化人等方面的新动能,进而对塑造新时代人的精神品格、美育素养和价值观念产生深远影响。

重写艺术史:从驱逐西方中心主义“话语幽灵”开始

作为一门学科,“艺术史”首先产生于欧洲,其艺术史观念与写作范式一直存在着根深蒂固的“西方中心主义”色彩。随着西方学术话语的全球化扩张,西方中心主义作为“艺术史书写的话语幽灵”一直或明或暗地支配着世界各国的艺术史书写。无论是“艺术史”“欧洲艺术史”“世界艺术史”还是“全球艺术史”,艺术史书写术语的翻新固然体现了世界各国艺术史学者对“人类艺术通史”书写的憧憬与努力,但并没有改变现有艺术史书写作为西方中心主义话语实践的客观事实。从“不完整的艺术史”“不平等的艺术史”到“不真实的艺术史”,西方中心主义话语幽灵让东方艺术反复辗转于“缺席的东方”“替补的东方”和“易容的东方”三种大同小异的失语状态。要完成世界艺术史的重写与重构,必须从驱逐西方中心主义“话语幽灵”开始。

启蒙理想的现实主义表征——读王逊的《中国美术史稿》

王逊的中国美术史研究,直接延续了新文化运动尤其是蔡元培、邓以蛰的学脉,并且远承了启蒙运动以来的德国美术史传统。王逊在他的中国美术史研究和教学尤其是《中国美术史稿》等著作中,特别强调“美术史是一种科学”,注重基于马赫主义的实在论来揭示中国美术史“优秀的现实主义传统”,并将其作为“创造新美术的依据”,以及追问“为什么要学习或研究美术史”,其实都是启蒙精神的具体表征。王逊的中国美术史研究和著作或有具体欠缺乃至错误,但他在特殊时期为研究中国美术史以及撰写相关的著作所付出的种种艰辛努力,尤其是他所一再追问的“为什么要学习或研究美术史”,仍然拥有其恒久的意义。
