贝尔:对形式的强调导致"意味"的消解

贝尔的“有意味的形式”理论是在形式主义日盛的情况下,对形式与内容矛盾关系的一种调解。贝尔是从形式出发来建构其理论的,其自身存在着难以克服的矛盾。调解的结果不但使形式脱离内容,反而导致意味的消解。形式美的独立性成为“意味”消解的前提,形式因的能指性和转换性为消解性提供了可能性,主体心理图式的差异性和解读方式的多样性,则标志着“意味”消解的开始,并成为一股驱动力,进一步使消解走向高潮。消解的过程,是原有“意味”建构与解构的矛盾运动过程,在这一过程中,艺术作品的形式美本身也受到了损害。

Bell's Theory on Stressing the Importance of Art's Form Causes a Damage to the Original Meanning

Under the background of the formalism's influence,Clive Bell's theory on the meanningful form is an adjustment for the Contradictory relation between art's content and form.However,started with the form,the theory itself exists in a contradictory state under which many problems are difficult to solve.As a result,this adjustment not only makes the form deviate from the content,but also causes a damage to the original meanning.Independence of formal beauty becomes a foundational condition,the widely-refered quality and transitional quality of the formal cause make an provision for the probability.While the dif-ference among individual's mental images and idological diversity,as a whole symbol,mean the beginning of the scvere damage.Further more,based on them,a strong driving force is formed,constantly promot-ing the decomposition to reach a climax.In essence,the damaged course is just the contradictory move-ment course between the original meanning's construction and destruction.In the damaged course,the formal beauty of art is also spoiled.
