中国文化与审美文化刍议

将中国文化认定为审美文化,不但使得文化、中国文化、审美文化和中国审美文化等概念之间的逻辑关系暧昧不清,而且因为其自身所带有的浓重的民族主义色彩,导致了对中国美学研究本身的学术性消解。其实,将中国文化认定为审美文化是一个现代性建构,而不是天经地义的。这种建构是所有现代化后来者的共同策略,也是文化与民族主义联姻的产物。

On Chinese Culture and Aesthetic Culture

Regarding Chinese culture as aesthetic culture,it not only makes the logical relationships between the concepts of cul- ture,Chinese culture,aesthetic culture and Chinese aesthetic culture disordered,but also deconstructs the study of Chinese aes- thetics itself as it conveys a too strong emotion of nationalism.In fact,it is a modem construction to take Chinese culture as aes- thetic culture.This construction is a kind of strategy for national identification that is shared by all later-modernized nations,as well as a product of the alliance between culture and nationalism.
