摘要: 艺术理论是一个充满争议的概念,也是一个边界模糊的知识领域。本文通过对三个问题的讨论,从不同角度解析了艺术理论及其知识生产的相关问题。首先,作者提出艺术理论介于美学和门类艺术理论之间的居间性,通过一种自我批判,作者认为可以变居间性的消极理解为积极建构,由此推进艺术理论的发展。其次,以场域理论为参照,作者分析了艺术理论的知识生产者的不同来源及其体制、象征资本问题,探究了艺术理论争议的意义及其达成妥协性共识的图景。最后,作者指认在各门艺术中,诗与画(或文学与美术)往往更受艺术理论青睐,成为艺术理论知识生产的重要基础性资源,因为这两门艺术更接近艺术理论一般问题和原理的解释,不像其他艺术更加专业化和技术性。所以,文学和美术往往成为艺术理论研究最为重要的两个领域。

Abstract: Art theory is both a contested concept and vaguely defined field of knowledge. The paper discusses three issues in art theory, trying to interpret art theory and its production of knowledge from different perspectives. First, the paper claims that art theory intermediates between aesthetics and subject theories of arts, and that, through self-criticism, the negative understanding of this intermediacy may be turned into positive construction to promote the development of art theory. Secondly, the paper examines from the perspective of field theory the origin, the institution and the symbolic capital of knowledge producer, and then it investigates the significance of debates of art theory and the prospect of the compromised consensus. Finally, the paper observes that, due to the consistent theoretical attention, the poetry-painting relation, or rather the literature-arts relation, becomes an important fundamental resources for the knowledge production of art theory. Poetry and painting, unlike other art forms that require more professional and technical knowledge, are more apt for interpretation under the general issues and principles, and therefore they become two utmost important fields for studying art theories.

Key words: knowledge production, art theory, intermediacy, field, painting and poetry
