古典時期(1650-1800)品味的問題意識化

Abstract

品味的問題意識化指的是在一個社會中，如何將品味當做是一個問題？怎麼樣的問題？在古典時期(1650-1800)的法國宮廷與沙龍社會裡，品味第一次成為滔滔不絕的理論論述，某種政治-倫理-美學錯綜複雜的問題意識。本文嘗試從「存在美學」以及「生活風格化」的角度，將品味視為權力／力量關係投注於象徵符號系統之文化爭鬥的美學化。在此外貌主宰的政權裡，品味已是一種社會道德，美學主體取代道德主體的轉向。社會行動者（廷臣或尚禮之人）以擁有品味，將自己塑造成一件社會生活的藝術品。這意謂著在競爭與鬥爭激烈的社會生活中，品味的擁有成為一種同時是社會生存的意志也是象徵性暴力的美學化。

The problematisation of taste means how the taste becomes a care in the society? And what kind of care it concerns? For the first time in the classic age (1650-1800), the taste became a topic of conversation in aristocratic society of France. The talkative theories about it reveal a complex problematic of ethico-politics and aesthetics. For the courtesans and honnêtes gens, it is in question of a substitution of the aesthetic subject for the moral subject. These social actors who are taste-makers change into a object of art, seen and be seen, judged and be judged. In the social life of aristocratic society where take place the scenes of the cultural competitions and ferocious struggle, the possession of taste involves both a will of existence and a symbolic violence.
