身体的话语表达--身体美学的哲学缘起

身体在西方哲学和美学史的不同发展阶段有着截然不同的生存境遇。在某种意义上，整个西方哲学和美学史就是一部身体由“缺席”到“出场”，再到“登堂入室”的历史。身体美学的出场，无疑是对柏拉图以降，经中世纪宗教神学，至黑格尔以终的身心二分、扬心抑身的哲学传统的一种反思与纠拨。尼采、梅洛-庞蒂等现代派哲学家反对传统的身心二元论，为身体正名的努力，对身体美学的学科建构提供了思想理论资源。身处后现代社会的福柯、费瑟斯通等思想家对权力话语之于身体的宰制，身体与消费文化的共谋关系之思考，加速促成了身体美学的诞生。

The Bodily Discourse Expression--The philosophical origin of somaesthetics

There are different existential situations for the body in various historical stages of western philosophy and aesthetics. In one sense, the whole history of western philosophy and aesthetics is one in which the body is in or out, and even becomes more proficient in its profession. The presence of somaesthetics is the rethinking and rectification of the philosophy tradition which separates the body from the mind or inhibits the body and encourages the mind. The tradition is initiated by Platon, spread out by the theology of Middle Age religion and ends up with by Hegel. Opposed to the mind-body dualism, the modernist philosophers like Nietzsche and Merleau-Ponty paid efforts to rehabilitate th e body and provide ideological and theoretical resources for the establishment of somaesthetics. The ideologists of post-modern society such as Foucaul and Featherstone facilitate the birth of somaesthetics by their reflection on the domination of the power of words on the body and the mutual relationship between the body and consumer culture.
