Abstract

Abstract:In speaking of his analyses, George Herbert Mead (1863– 1931) announces: “It is behavioristic where the approach to experience is made through conduct.” He turns this approach to the practice of the arts and the aesthetic experience. His approach consists of an analysis of gestures and attitudes as the beginning of acts that we bring with us to the activities in which we are engaged. A gesture would be, for example, offering someone a chair who has entered a room. Usually gestures and their responses form a conversation, in this case, acceptance or rejection of the offer. The attitude behind the offer would be generosity and friendliness—a sign of welcome. Within music, “a temporal dimension as that of the melody, or recognition of the notes and their distance from each other in the scale, and our appreciation of these as actually affected by the beginning of our response to the later notes, as when we are expecting a certain sort of ending . . . . It is that attitude that gives the character of our appreciation of all extended musical compositions.” Instead of the part–whole understanding of the arts, he argues for a whole–part relationship within a social context of the actions that make up a performance or object. How far will this thesis take us? I explore answers to this question.
g·h·米德:社会结构的审美体验
摘要:在谈到他的分析时,乔治·赫伯特·米德(1863-1931)宣布:“通过行为来获得经验是行为主义的。”他将这种方法转向了艺术实践和审美体验。他的方法包括对手势和态度的分析,这些手势和态度是我们为所从事的活动带来的行为的开始。举个例子,一个手势是向进入房间的人提供一把椅子。通常,手势和他们的反应形成了一种对话,在这种情况下,就是接受或拒绝报价。这一提议背后的态度将是慷慨和友好——这是一种欢迎的象征。在音乐中,“旋律的时间维度,或对音符及其在音阶中彼此距离的识别,以及我们对这些音符的欣赏实际上受到我们对后面音符的反应的开始的影响,就像我们期待某种结局一样……正是这种态度赋予了我们对所有扩展音乐作品的欣赏特征。“他主张在构成表演或物体的行为的社会背景下建立一种整体-部分关系,而不是对艺术的部分-整体理解。这篇论文将带我们走多远?我探究这个问题的答案。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Aesthetic Education (JAE) is a highly respected interdisciplinary journal that focuses on clarifying the issues of aesthetic education understood in its most extensive meaning. The journal thus welcomes articles on philosophical aesthetics and education, to problem areas in education critical to arts and humanities at all institutional levels; to an understanding of the aesthetic import of the new communications media and environmental aesthetics; and to an understanding of the aesthetic character of humanistic disciplines. The journal is a valuable resource not only to educators, but also to philosophers, art critics and art historians.
