A Study On Lukács'Theory Of Mimesis

The purpose of this paper is to sort out Lukács mimesis theory and make it more visible.As a master of marxist mimesis theory,Lukács is different from previous theories of mimesis.He not only built mimesis on the basis of dialectical materialism theory of reflection,but also expanded the scope of mimesis,making mimesis theory rooted in the history of human society.The concept of "mimesis" not only constitutes the core content of Lukács' later aesthetic thought,but also constitutes a key to understand how his earlier thought developed into the later theory,and constitutes an important clue to the logical evolution of his overall aesthetic thought.In contrast with many popular views that Lukács' theory of symbolic mimesis in his later years is a theoretical regression,this paper interprets this important discourse practice as a strategy of "guerrilla warfare".This paper is divided into three chapters.The first chapter tries to grasp Lukács' mimesis theory in the development history,and points out the reification and totality problems raised in History and Class Consciousness.Lukács offers a solution in aesthetic properties through The Peculiarity of Aesthetics.The second chapter tries to sketch the main theoretical characteristics of Lukács by describing the five dimensions of his mimesis theory.This part is the focus of this article.The third chapter mainly discusses the academic effect of Lukács mimesis theory in Chinese context,and seeks to provide a possible way to objectify it while understanding its contemporary value to Chinese aesthetic construction.
