Cultural Communication And Production Of Artistic Mechanism

In the practical advancement of contemporary culture, "esthetic in daily life ", "end of art" becomes the focal point question to which esthetes pay the attention and the discussion day by day. At the same time, contemporary esthetics also nearly no longer defends stubbornly to the essential question of "beauty" and "art", but to the discussion of "esthetic value" and "esthetic object". In order to explain the above -mentioned cultural phenomenon and hot topic, attaches the sociological field of vision and the research results in the traditional esthetics thinking model, this article has returned abstract "art" to cultural communication and practice original in special systematic frame.Once the beauty's standard inspection is substituted by the artistic social effect and functional analysis, "art" has become the information exchanging process in which artist and audience are participate together. It is the transmitting and holding of "esthetic information" in specific cultural shape. Under the background of "oral culture", "printing culture", "electronic culture", after inspecting origination of "artistic communication mechanism", the changing of artist status in mechanism, the renewal of medium and the medium organization as well as the mechanism's own evoluting process, this article drew a conclusion that , all sorts of philosophers and aesthetes' explorations to artistic essence, altogether with its attribute is organic composition of the dynamic artistic communication mechanism itself; only in the overall context of artistic communication mechanism which is known as "the autonomy" can categories of so-called "art"," artistic work", "esthetics" and so on be significance. Therefore, the "end of art " is the end of autonomous artistic communication mechanism, the " esthetic in daily life " only has its theoretic value relatively in artistic communication mechanism which declared to have surmounted the social life. Therefore, these questions have no longer the objective authenticity, but some kind of historical consciousness and evitable product as the starters' "thinking from their province" and " understanding by themselves "---- What they refract is the profound realization of intellectuals for the cultural present situation and its own survival reality.This article first doubted the discussion on the artistic connotation, and pointed out the metaphysical, solely research method of traditional esthetics, as well as many contradictions and careless mistakes in artistic definition. Then, I drew a conclusion that "Art" is a part of the human cultural activities. It is not single aesthetic phenomenon, but cultural shape in multi-dimensional field of vision .It is a communicatory process which the individual with social dimension mutually collides, distributed with various essential factories interior in the cultural specific practice. Therefore, only putting art in the field of cultural communication, in the relationship of mutually struggling, restricting, constituting and depending, can we make description for the artistic phenomenon in human culture.Second chapter emphatically limited the theories categories of "esthetic information" and "artistic communication mechanism". It is the category of "esthetic information" that realizes the connection between abstract artistic idea and realistic social life, then, the discussion about art can surmounted the dual choice of subjectivism and objectivism. Since art is human cultural communication, "esthetic information" is unable to be separated from "semantic information" so as to independently produce. In other words, the social condition or opportunity itself which art depends on will constitute the "esthetic information". The art unceasingly produced has precisely fulfilled its function in the developing and changing communication environment, and become the basic element of social system. Therefore, as communication mechanism, "art" is not only non-abstract artistic idea or the esthetic experience, but also non-"art ware" in feasibilities. It is the relations between artistic communication mechanism and various social essential factors. In fact, art is practices of human communication behavior. As a result, The related artistic cultural communication inspection has been divided into four domains :" origin of artistic communication mechanism ", "studies for artists' status "," medium and the medium organization "," evolution of artistic communication mechanism ". Various essential factors in "artistic communication mechanism" have mutually obtained its own description and the explanation through "the subject class" in relations with other essential factors' existences and the development.Third chapter to sixth chapter separately discusses on the four big essential factors in "artistic communication mechanism" frame one by one: The origin of mechanism question, the evolution of artist's status, the medium and medium organization renewal, the process of mechanism variation. This article believed that, "witchcraft" and "religion" is the primitive power which cause the "esthetic information" to be formed, the "rite" of witchcraft and religion is precisely the primitive shape of artistic communication mechanism. For the purpose of conformity and formation of race group belief so that primitive person could gain social coordination by molding common value system and emotional content, they regarded the "rite" of religion and witchcraft as this feasible motion system to express the passion of " life integration" caused by primitive thinking. As collective activities which have intrinsic close relation with human survival, "rite" is the essential composition for the communication of religion and witchcraft.Artistic communication mechanism formed by practical behavior is a dynamic changing process through transmission, communication, acceptance and feedback of esthetic information. The artistic communication subject ---- "artist", the vicissitude of their social status is just the vicissitude of artistic communication mechanism. From artistic artisan, royal artist to talent artist, from enlightened intellectual to rebels against society, artistic martyr, though the external mechanism of art has experienced the vicissitude of" guardian system", " market system" and "later-market system", the artist's situation of "heteronomy" did not change; "Autonomy" as artistic communication mechanism haven't been the historical fact, but fulfilled the saved function of religion. This indicated that, the true esthetic information producer had inevitably been living in the state originated from tensions between shackles of artistic mechanism and individual free expression.Medium and the medium organization is the place where esthetic information can be transmitted and presented, the communicatory subject and acceptor can exchange and interact with each other. It is the evolution of medium technology that deeply affected person's thinking structure, and became the most important attribute of different cultural landscapes. From printing medium to electronic medium, from cultural Sharon to cultural industry, medium and medium organization more and more removed its material attribute so as to cause the change from "printing culture" to "electronic culture", and the power field caused by the partners cooperation and competition had been substituted by the virtual reality built by duplicating technology. When art had profoundly satisfied person's conscious development and perceptual life, it also remolded a new subject, and implanted new factors of surmounting dual culture to the artistic communication mechanism. As a result, the unique feeling holding "aura" had blended with individual reflection and achieved in the unification of "subconscious recollection" and "conscious recollection".Through the phenomenon of avant-garde at the beginning of 20 centries, this article indicated that, the artistic mechanism of "avant-garde" was a transforming process of media cultural environment which the artistic practice and the academic theoretical words mutually interacted and constituted each other. Its value obtained more in "theory intercourse" interweaved by more critique and praise than "critic idea" of artists. The significance of discussion concerned about "avant-garde" exactly lies in: it was precisely avant-garde that testified the transient process of artistic communication mechanism from the traditional "printing culture" to the" electronic culture". In the new cultural environment, the production of esthetic information will more and more rely on the explanative mechanism and the mass media organization which keep the cultural industry organically running.In machine-duplicated time, when the artistic basic unit is no longer thought or moral emotion, when its model is no longer simply "work", but absorb all causes from reality to be self- popularized and self-consumed, the spiritual human pursue of "life integration" has not ceased a moment time, but transformed the way of communication and presentation in the new cultural shape. The esthetic information will complete its self-regeneration in the molding of new human subject, and the entire culture will sediment and accumulate the new artistic communication and expressional way in noisy cultural atmosphere. At present, the discussion of "end of art"," esthetic in daily life" just manifests the reflection for "art" and the endeavor of achieving its reality and historicity from scholars. It is the widely discussed question that places the dream of scholars on diverting art once again through a supernatural plan for art.
