摘要: 进入20世纪以后,西方美学发生了影响深远的“身体转向”:作为“感性认识的科学”,它开始回归身体-主体和生活世界。在这个过程中,实用主义做出了突出的贡献:自皮尔斯奠定了实践原则起,重视身体的立场就已经萌发;经过詹姆斯、杜威、莫里斯等人的努力,一种身体经验出发的艺术-美学架构已经大体成形;80年代以后,舒斯特曼和约翰逊等人则正式创立了身体美学。虽然实用主义没有彻底超越二元论,但其富有建设性的研究纲领还是影响了世界范围内的美学建构。

Abstract: Since the early 20th century, a somatic turn has presented itself as increasingly influential in the Western aesthetics. As the science of sensory recognition, it initiates a return to the body-subject and life-world. In this process, the contribution of pragmatism is prominent. Since Charles Peirce proposed the principle of practice, the perspective which values the body has been introduced. The endeavors of scholars like William James, John Dewey and Charles William Morris have all constructed the artistic-esthetic paradigm on the basis of body experience. From the 1980s onwards, scholars such as Richard Shusterman and Mark Johnson put forward and define the concept of somaesthetics. While pragmatism has not fully transcended dualism, its seminal paradigm has influenced the aesthetic studies in the world.
