艺术文献研究的机遇与挑战——艺术学升格为门类之后的再思考

艺术学升格为门类,为艺术文献的研究带来了前所未有的机遇;与此同时,也存在着种种的困难和挑战,"两不管"和"管不懂"是当前较为严峻的现实。笔者认为,从"文献"的严式界定出发,方能进一步做出全面、有效、深入的文献研究。其次,艺术文献研究具有典型的跨门类、跨学科性质,涵盖了艺术学、语言文字学、文献学、美学、历史学、哲学等诸多领域,对研究者有"双栖"与"合作"的较高层次的要求。对于具体研究,可参照"个案—断代—史纲—范畴—原理"的思路进行。

Difficulties and Challenges of the Current Art Literature Research:A Reconsideration of the Upgrade from Art Theory to Art Kind

An unprecedented opportunity of art literature has brought by the upgrade from Art Theory to Art Kind. At the same time, various difficulties and challenges are brought incidentally. "Two Areas Don't Research" and "Don't Know How to Research" are the current severe problems. This article observes that a comprehensive, effective and in-depth literature search will be realized if we make a strict literature definition, which may be progressive compared with the current achievements. In addition, art literature research has a typical characteristic of cross-kind and cross subject, including such territories as Art Theory, Philology, Documentation Science, Aesthetics, History and Philosophy, all of which brings forth a higher request that the researchers should have a good knowledge of both of these areas and be cooperative. As for the realistic research, we can consult such thought as the "Individual Cases-Dating-Outline of History-Category-Theories".
