Estetska antropologija: konstruirati nov sistem sodobne estetike in umetnostne kritike

The past two or three decades have witnessed increasing interconnection between anthropology and cultural studies, theory of aesthetics, and art criticism. A trend is under way to combine ontology and methodology. In addition to Grosse, Frye, Strauss, and others, Chinese scholars such as Yuanpei CAI, Xiaotong FEI, and Huixiang LIN also have made significant contributions to aesthetics and offered aesthetic considerations in classic anthropological works. Many contemporary researchers have made significant achievements in aesthetics using the concepts and methods of anthropology, a movement which constitutes the building blocks of a new discipline. We are lucky to be among those who inherit, become involved in, and benefit from this trend. The time has come for a systematic summary and reflection on this historical trend in aesthetics, which may help solve complex aesthetic problems in this era and beckon scholars down a promising path of aesthetics and art criticism. The goals of this article revolve around the core issues and basic methodologies of aesthetic anthropology, and then summarize and extend its application to art criticism, with an aim to perfect the theoretical structure and methodology and stress its practical, operational value. By virtue of self-reflection and others’ criticism, we respond to trends in this emerging field while underscoring the vitality, practical value, and future creativity of aesthetic anthropology that has drawn ideological inspiration from Marxist aesthetics.Zadnja dva ali tri desetletja smo bili priče krepitvi medsebojne povezanosti med antropologijo in kulturnimi študiji ter teorijo estetike in umetnostno kritiko. Uveljavlja se težnja povezati ontologijo in metodologijo. Poleg Grossa, Frya, Straussa in drugih, so kitajski učenjaki, kot so Yuanpei CAI, Xiaotong FEI in Huxian LIN, veliko prispevali k estetiki in ponudili estetiške premisleke klasičnih antropoloških del. Mnogi sodobni raziskovalci so z uporabo pojmov in metodo antropologije, gibanjem, ki je doseglo velike dosežke, veliko prispevali k estetiki, pri čemer so uporabili pojme in metode antropologije, gibanja, ki tvori gradnike nove discipline. Srečo imamo, da smo med dediči, tistimi, ki so vpleteni, in tistimi, ki pridobivajo s temi trendi. Mnogi sodobni raziskovalci so dosegli pomembne uspehe v estetiki. S tem ko smo med onimi, ki dedujejo, smo vpleteni in pridobimo s tem trendom. Čas je nastopil za sistematičen povzetek ter premislek o tej zgodovinski težnji v estetiki, ki lahko pripomore k rešitvi zapletenih problemov v našem času ter popelje učenjake po obetavni poti estetike in umetnostne kritike. Cilji tega članka so artikulirani glede na osrednje teme in temeljne metodologije estetske antropologije, nato pa povzamemo in razširimo njeno aplikacijo na umetnostno kritiko, da bi tako izpopolnili teoretsko strukturo in metodologijo ter poudarili njeno praktično in operativno vrednost. S samorefleksijo in kritiko drugih se odzivamo na trende v tem vznikajočem polju, pri čemer so poudarjne vitalnost, praktično vrednost in bodoča ustvarjalnost estetske antropologije, ki se je ideološko navdihovala pri marksistični estetiki
