马克思主义文论视域下火药艺术的媒介转换与生产机制研究

Media Transformation and Production Mechanism of Gunpowder Art: A Marxist Literary Theory

摘要: 在当代艺术由图像再现转向媒介事件、公共现场和跨文化传播的过程中，材料不再只是承载形式的工具，而成为生成意义、组织生产关系并触发意识形态阐释的重要中介。以马克思主义文艺理论为方法论基础，本文围绕“物质媒介–艺术生产–文化自觉表达”这一逻辑链条，对火药艺术进行研究。研究认为，火药既是具有物理能量的材料，也是连接中国经验、现代技术、公共参与和全球语境的文化符号；其爆破、燃烧、烟雾与痕迹构成了可感知的艺术生产过程，使作品由静态图像转化为兼具现场性、偶然性与社会阐释性的艺术事件。马克思主义文论对该类实践的解释价值，正在于揭示媒介创新背后的物质条件、生产机制和价值立场。由此，当代中国艺术创新应避免将传统符号简单图案化，在时代问题、公众经验与跨文化交流之间建立更具解释力的转化机制。

Abstract: Against the backdrop of contemporary art’s shift from figurative representation to media events, public on-site practices and cross-cultural communication, artistic materials have evolved from mere formal carriers into critical intermediaries for meaning construction, production relation formation and ideological interpretation. Grounded in Marxist literary theory, this paper explores gunpowder art following the logical thread of “material medium–artistic production–expression of cultural self-awareness”. The study finds that gunpowder functions both as a physically energetic artistic material and a cultural symbol bridging Chinese experience, modern technology, public participation and global contexts. Its detonation, combustion, smoke and residual marks constitute a tangible process of artistic production, transforming static artworks into situational, contingent and interpretive artistic events. The explanatory power of Marxist literary theory lies in unpacking the material preconditions, production mechanisms and value stances underpinning medium innovation. Accordingly, innovations in contemporary Chinese art ought to refrain from the superficial pictorialization of traditional symbols and build robust transformative mechanisms linking contemporary social issues, public experience and cross-cultural exchanges.
