神话学艺术起源研究新探

自古希腊以来的各种艺术起源学说均从经验论出发,将艺术发生视为一种静止的现象,艺术源头的探寻因而存在不可突破的＂瓶颈＂。神话学视角下的艺术探源遵循情境性原则,研究者将图像视为元叙述,它反映并揭示了艺术持有者的思想与理念。艺术源头的追寻由艺术与各种外部因素探讨转向艺术创造者认知体系的建构,其中包括宗教理念、宇宙观与意识形态框架的重构。神话学对艺术主体认知框架的重构使得艺术起源研究出现＂向内转＂趋向,艺术起源研究范式由此发生转变。

The Study on the Origins of Mythological Art

Since the ancient Greece,various origins of art has been started from the empiricism,which regarded the birth of art as a static phenomenon,the exploration in the origins of art cannot break through the ＂bottleneck＂.However,the exploration of the art origins from the mythological perspective follows the situational principle,according to which researchers regard images as meta-narrative.It reflects and reveals the art holders＇ thinking and ideas.The exploration into the art source changes from the discussion on art and various external factors to the construction of art creators＇ cognitive system,which includes the reconstruction of religious philosophy,of cosmology,and of the ideological framework.The reconstruction of artists＇ cognitive framework from the mythology makes the study of the art origins have the trend of ＂turning inward＂,and for this,the paradigm of the research on the origin of art is shifted.
