马克思主义的艺术生产论表明,艺术既是人类观念的生产,又是特定的社会意识形态的生产。在资本主义社会,作为物的艺术品沦为商品是基本事实。而在大众文化时代,艺术生产既促进了艺术的流传,又助推了大众社会的形成。艺术生产论经历了从马克思主义的经典化向大众社会之一般性的过渡,它不仅是文化观念的生产,也是以物的形式出现的商品的批量生产,后者促成了大众社会的形成。大众文化时代的艺术生产正是科技理性与人文理性协和的产物,而这也是创建符合大众利益的大众社会的唯一途径。 Marxist theory of art production shows that art is both the production of human ideas and the production of a particular social ideology. In a capitalist society, it is the basic fact that art as a thing is reduced to a commodity. In the era of popular culture, art production not only promoted the spread of art, but also promoted the formation of mass society. Art production theory has undergone a general transition from the classic Marxism to the mass society. It is not only the production of cultural ideas, but also the mass production of commodities in the form of material things, and the latter contributes to the formation of mass society. The art production in the age of mass culture is a product of the union of scientific and technological rationality and humanistic rationality, and this is also the only way to create a mass society in conformity with the public interest.
