编辑这项工作,以往的看法,只不过是一项文字或图片性业务,并且处于“依附”地位,即依附于作品而存在。近年来,人们提出“编辑学”的概念,试图从理论上确立其学术地位,从而建构一门独立的编辑学学科。但有一个问题依然没有解决,甚至根本没有提出,那就是“编辑美学”的问题。人们似乎以为,编辑学,即使具有独立的学术品格,却也不具备独立的美学品格。美,属于处于“主体”地位的作品本身,而与只不过是作品生产过程中的一项中介活动——编辑,是不沾边的,或者说关系不大。 The previous view of editing this work was nothing more than a literal or pictorial business, and was “dependent” on the existence of work attached to the work. In recent years, people put forward the concept of “editology”, try to establish its academic status theoretically, and construct an independent editorial discipline. However, one problem still remains unresolved or even not raised at all. That is the issue of “editing aesthetics.” People seem to think that editorial school, even with an independent academic character, does not have an independent aesthetic character. The United States belongs to the work itself in the “subjective” position, and is irrelevant to, or rather than an intermediary activity in the production of the work, an editor.
