少数民族审美文化的现实困境与相关理论的探讨

由于少数民族社会的现代转型造成文化传统的失落与神话思维的崩解,其审美文化的原创性面临着破坏与消解的危险.少数民族审美文化在现代化背景下所面临的"保存与发展"的困境,应首先从理论上进行探讨.少数民族审美文化研究应以民族文化活动为基点,以集中体现民族审美意识的民族艺术为中介,在田野工作的基础上广泛运用民族心理学、民族伦理学、民族语言学、文化人类学以及民族社会学等相邻学科的方法,建立艺术哲学的比较视野,以取得该学科领域的新突破,拓展美学研究的范围.

The Predicament of the Aesthetic Cultures of the Minority Nationalities and an Exploration of the Relevant Theories

Because the transformation to modernization in the minority nationality communities brings about the loss of their cultural traditions and the dissolution of their mythical thinking, the originality of their aesthetic cultures is facing the danger of being destroyed and dissolved. In the background of modernization, the predicament confronting the aesthetic cultures of the minority nationalities is that they must be "preserved and developed," and this predicament must be first of all defined theoretically. With art that embodies the aesthetic consciousness as its medium, the research of the aesthetic cultures of the minority nationalities should base itself on the cultural activities. On the basis of fieldwork, by using the methods in ethnopsychiatry, ethnoethics, ethnolinguistics, cultural anthropology, and ethnosociology, we can establish a comparative view in artistic philosophy to make a research breakthrough and to widen the scope of aesthetic research.
