过去的艺术人类学理论主要对殖民地和后殖民地艺术品以及“原始艺术”的研究,其研究方法就是将西方的艺术理论运用于非西方社会的艺术研究。这种理论相信每一种文化都有其特有的美学体系,艺术人类学的任务就是阐释该文化中的美学特征。这种研究在本质上是强化和延伸了西方艺术公众的审美感知,并不能构成真正的艺术人类学。人类学是一门社会科学而不是人文科学,其特定的主题是社会关系,这意味着艺术人类学的重点是艺术生产、流通和接受的社会语境。艺术品的定义既不是由艺术制度来认定,也不是具有符号的、审美的、用于表达意义的物品,而是一套行为体系,意在改变世界。在艺术人类学理论内,以“行为”为中心来研究艺术物品在协调社会能动性中的社会关系。艺术人类学也不同于艺术社会学,艺术社会学主要是对西方社会的艺术制度的研究,艺术人类学更关心艺术品周围的关系网络。人类学把人的行为放在一个具体的社会情境中,来解释人的行为意义。艺术人类学理论的目标是解释艺术品在这种关系情景中的生产和流通。
The past art anthropological theories mainly focused on the studies of colonial and postcolonial works of art as well as “original art,” and its method of study was to apply Western art theory to art research in non-Western societies. This theory believes that every culture has its own unique aesthetic system. The task of art anthropology is to interpret the aesthetic characteristics of the culture. This kind of research essentially strengthens and extends the aesthetic perception of Western public art and can not constitute a true art anthropology. Anthropology is a social science rather than a human science. Its particular theme is social relations, which means that the focus of artistic anthropology is the social context of artistic production, circulation and acceptance. The definition of artwork is neither determined by the art system, nor is it a symbolic, aesthetic, meaning-giving object, but a system of behavior intended to change the world. In the theory of artistic anthropology, “ behavior” as the center to study the social relations of art objects in coordinating social initiative. Art anthropology is also different from art sociology, art sociology is mainly the study of Western art system, art anthropology more concerned about the network of art around the relationship. Anthropology put human behavior in a specific social context to explain the meaning of human behavior. The goal of art anthropology theory is to explain the production and circulation of works of art in this relational context.
