术语“摹仿说”的详细信息

英译术语:

Mimesis

汉语语境:

摹仿说是西方诗学最根本的思想之一。摹仿论构成了西方美学的主流。然而，在中西诗学的对比研究中存在一种被广为接受的观点，即摹仿论是西方诗学传统特有的文化创新。在此学术共识的基础上产生了一种基本的二分法，其结果是衍生了一系列的中西二元对立:西方艺术具有隐喻性、象征性和先验性特性，而中国艺术具有转喻性、字面本意性和内在性特性。

英语语境:

Mimesis is one of the most fundamental ideas in Western poetics. Mimetic theories constitute a mainstream in Western aesthetics. In comparative studies of Chinese and Western poetics, however, there exists widely accepted opinion that mimetic theory is a cultural invention unique to the Western tradition. And on this scholarly consensus has been constructed a fundamental dichotomy ramifying into a series of binary oppositions: the metaphorical, figurative, transcendental nature of Western art, as against the metonymic, literal, immanentist nature of Chinese art.
