Abstract: The theory of “Frankfurt School” has been introduced by Chinese aestheticians since the late 1970s. After more than 40 years of theoretical travel, “Frankfurt School” has experienced a process from “criticism / questioning / opposition” to “recognition / acceptance / approval”, and has also substantially completed the “theoretical linkage” with Chinese aesthetics. As a kind of western discourse, “Frankfurt School” theory, like other theories, is faced with the Chinese context. The Chinese acceptance of “Frankfurt School” objectively plays a role in promoting the transformation of Chinese contemporary aesthetic discourse, making the contemporary aesthetic research more problem-oriented, and enhancing the realistic criticism of aesthetic theory. However, in the process of entering into the narrative of Chinese aesthetic theory, “Frankfurt school” has also experienced the theoretical reconstruction of aesthetic sense, and has objectively become a “Chinese form” of “Frankfurt school”.

Key words: Frankfurt school, critical theory, theoretical reconstruction, “Chinese form”

摘要： 中国美学界从20世纪70年代末开始引介“法兰克福学派”的理论,经过40多年的理论旅行,“法兰克福学派”在中国美学界经历了一个从“批判/质疑/反对”到“认可/接受/赞同”的过程,也实质性地完成了与中国美学界的“理论对接”。作为一种西学话语,“法兰克福学派”理论和其他理论一样面临着中国语境的考量,“法兰克福学派”的中国接受客观上起到了促进中国当代美学话语转变的作用,使当代美学研究的问题性更加明显,增强了美学理论的现实批判性。但“法兰克福学派”在进入中国美学理论叙事的过程中也经历了美学意义上的理论重塑,客观上已经成为一种“法兰克福学派”的“中国形式”。
