题记:本文是为2007年中央美院组织的“中国美术的现代转型”系列会议上海站研讨会提交的论文,我因故未能赴会。在西安站开会时,美学家尤西林表明了与我类似的立场与判断。尤西林与我是同龄人,20多年前相聚时,我们都是中国现代化的积极鼓吹者;20多年后的今天,当现代化成为中国国策并既成事实地变成国人的生活常态时,不曾再见面也不曾关注对方的两人却采取了相同的批评姿态。尤西林在他的发言中提出了一个值得关注的说法:现代化不等于现代性,现代性包括反现代化的观念与行为。 Inscription: This article is a paper submitted by the Central Academy of Fine Arts in 2007 for the “Shanghai Workshop on Modern Transformation of Chinese Fine Arts” series. I failed to attend the symposium for some reason. When meeting in Xi’an, the esthetician You Xilin demonstrated similar positions and judgments with me. When we came together more than 20 years ago, we are all the active advocates of the modernization of China. When more than 20 years later, when modernization became the normal practice of the national policy of our country and became a normal state of the people, we never met again. The same two critics have taken the two men who have not paid attention to each other. In his speech, Eucerin put forward a note of concern: modernization does not mean modernity, and modernity includes anti-modernization concepts and behaviors.
