The Object And The Imagination

It has important significance to study on the influence of the ideology of aesthetics to the literature in the primary stage of the socialism from the angle of the literary aesthetic transformation mechanism both in the theoretical field and in reality. In this article, the author believes that the ideology of aesthetics through a latent effort influences the aesthetic transformation in the literature, and therefore builds the intersubjectivity. The process of this influence constructs the literary aesthetic transformation mechanism . As an art category, the aesthetic transformation in literature passes though a transformation course from the object to the aesthetical imagination, and has the common nature that arts share. And the realization of this process is influenced by the factors such as reality, author, works and reader, as well as by the active participation of the ideology of aesthetics. The ideology of aesthetics will influence the realization of the literary aesthetic transformation either by taking part in the process of the transformation directly, or present in a concealed and unconscious way, and this ideology can make the emerge of the aesthetic transformation mechanism possible. Therefore it is the ideology of aesthetics that provides the prerequisite for the aesthetic transformation mechanism. Based on this cognition, this article defines the aesthetic transformation mechanism as a "three-stepped-transformation-mechanism" that is, through the transformation from the object to the imagination the process of aesthetic transformation becomes fulfilled. This article takes this as the theoretical basis and starting point to discuss the literary aesthetic transformation mechanism in the primary stage of the socialism. The research on the literary aesthetic transformation mechanism cannot be separated from the specific historical and cultural background. Since the founding of the PRC, Chinese literature has passed through many shifts of meanings of the ideology of aesthetics. It was a complicated and fruitful process. The ideology of aesthetics either assimilated or faded out with the interpose of the political ideology; or with the faded out of the political ideology interposed in the aesthetic transformation mechanism. The literary aesthetic transformation mechanism in the primary stage of the socialism is characterized by three main stages. Firstly, when the literature is in a historical period when the ideology has strong influence, the ideology of aesthetics and the political ideology reach a consensus. The aesthetic transformation mechanism in literature can realize the process in which the object deforms to aesthetical transformation smoothly and builds the intersubjectivity, and presents a sort of perfect transformation tension structure. But at the same time, the ideology of aesthetics is characterized as one-sided and simplistic. It deconstructs the aesthetic standards in literature and lead to the split of the aesthetic stransformation mechanism by the extreme interference of ideology. The representative stage is literature in the 17th anniversary of the founding of the PRC and the literature during the Cultural Revolution. Secondly, the ideology of aesthetics frees itself from the constraint of the political ideology and bases on the new period of the reform and opening to the outside, and at this time, the characters of literary aesthetic transformation mechanism in literature are diversified and abundant, and give birth to many kinds of new aesthetical imagination, meanwhile realize many kinds of intersubjectivity , and develop new ways of thinking and new approaches for literature. The representative stage is the literature in the new period. Thirdly, in the post-modern period in which the context obviously show the literacy atmosphere, the ideology of aesthetics presents a kind of the mix, trivial and disintegrated character. Under this influence, the ideology of aesthetics is on the edge of disappear and cannot realize the aesthetical imagination smoothly.
