圖像的邏輯及其闡釋:第三屆3044am永利集團(tuán)美術(shù)史博士生國際學(xué)術(shù)論壇
2012年10月19-21日
主題發(fā)言人:李 松教授,3044am永利集團(tuán)美術(shù)學(xué)系
進(jìn)入21世紀(jì),視覺文化和世界美術(shù)研究日益成為美術(shù)史研究中的兩大潮流。美術(shù)史與考古學(xué)、宗教學(xué)、歷史學(xué)、人類學(xué)等不同學(xué)科背景的學(xué)者通過分工協(xié)作來討論解決一些共同關(guān)心的文化命題,這已經(jīng)成為學(xué)術(shù)的主導(dǎo)潮流。美術(shù)史研究者們從政治、社會(huì)、經(jīng)濟(jì)、文化、人類精神等多元角度解析美術(shù)的歷史和風(fēng)格形成的原因,這使得美術(shù)史研究呈現(xiàn)出更為多樣化的面貌。
但是,“圖像”始終是美術(shù)史研究的核心問題。像語言一樣,圖像也有其自身的邏輯和系統(tǒng)。當(dāng)下很多藝術(shù)史及文化史研究往往偏重對(duì)圖像的社會(huì)學(xué)的闡釋,關(guān)注外部環(huán)境的考察。而沒有有效地針對(duì)圖像的視覺性特征。只有正確的理解和解讀藝術(shù)作品和圖像材料的視覺邏輯和制像規(guī)則,才能正確解讀其信息和涵義。藝術(shù)也才能像文字材料一樣,成為歷史研究的有效證據(jù)。無論是宗教藝術(shù),經(jīng)典藝術(shù),還是普通的視覺材料,首先要正確地評(píng)價(jià)其視覺特征和要素,并以此展開研究和討論。這也是美術(shù)史學(xué)科區(qū)別于其它人文學(xué)科的最大特征。
探究不同國家的不同藝術(shù)的特性與關(guān)系是當(dāng)前藝術(shù)史界最受關(guān)注的課題之一,世界藝術(shù)研究的概念已深入人心。但是,藝術(shù)史研究的方法和工具源于西方的傳統(tǒng),對(duì)于其它文化中的藝術(shù)研究是否具有普適性?如套用圖像學(xué)的方法移用到中國佛教藝術(shù)和道教藝術(shù)研究中,是否鑿枘或有效?
20123044am永利集團(tuán)博士生國際學(xué)術(shù)論壇將為國內(nèi)外年輕學(xué)子提供一個(gè)平臺(tái),以圖像的邏輯及其闡釋這一主題,交流、分享彼此研究成果。我們現(xiàn)面向國內(nèi)外博士研究生征集參加論壇的論文提要。
本次論壇,正式受邀參會(huì)者的食宿費(fèi)用由主辦方負(fù)責(zé)。此外,會(huì)議期間還會(huì)安排相關(guān)考察活動(dòng)。
論壇工作語言為中文和英文。
請(qǐng)有意參加會(huì)議的博士研究生于2012年6月5日之前,提交1000字的論文摘要,以及個(gè)人學(xué)術(shù)簡介,并發(fā)送到論壇工作郵箱:[email protected];如有其它問題,可以聯(lián)系會(huì)議秘書:

Logic of Image and Its Interpretations
The Third International Graduate Symposium of Art History
Peking University, October 19-21, 2012
Keynote Speaker: Professor Li Song, Department of Art History, School of Arts, PKU
Ever since the beginning of the 21st century or earlier, studies of visual culture and world art history have become two major trends in the field of art history. Scholars from different disciplinary backgrounds such as archaeology, religious studies, history, anthropology, and art history, have begun to discuss some commonly concerned cultural issues through their both independent and collaborative works. This interdisciplinary approach has become dominating in academia and to some extent art history has benefitted from it.
No doubt, image has always been the key issue in art historical studies. Like language, image has its own logic and system. Nowadays, art historical and cultural studies mostly are inclined to focus on interpreting images in social context. Studies of visual quality of image in its own terms have somehow been neglected. Only if one accurately understands the visual logic and image-making principles in artworks and visual materials, could one properly interpret their meanings and significances. Thus, artworks can do what textual materials do when they become useful evidences in our understanding of history. No matter they are religious arts, classical arts, or common visual materials, the first and foremost thing we should do is to accurately evaluate their visual characteristics and elements so as to open the further ways of research and discussion. This is what art history as a discipline differs from other disciplines in humanities.
Today, one of the most concerned issues in art historical field is to explore the characteristics of, and interrelations between, artworks from different cultures. Thus, the notion of world-art study has been widely discussed. Nonetheless, even if the methodological tools of art historical studies are rooted in the tradition of Western art history, would they be universally useful for studying artworks from other cultures? For example, if we apply methods of "Iconography" to our studies of Chinese Buddhist and Daoist arts, would they still be proper and valid?
The 2012 Peking University Graduate Symposium aims to provide young scholars with an engaging platform, where they can exchange ideas and share their own research across the theme of “Logic of Image and Its Interpretations." We are now open to accept proposals from graduate students both in China and overseas.
During the symposium, we will like accommodate invited participants with food and lodging. In addition, we will sponsor a field trip for the participants.
The working language will be both Chinese and English.
Potential participants should submit a proposal of 1000-word and current curriculum vitae to: [email protected] before June 5, 2012. A confirmation email will be sent to applicants after the proposals are selected.
