The "October" School and the aesthetic Modernism

《十月》季刊于1976年由麻省理工学院出版社首次出版，至今仍在继续。这本杂志引起了许多人的关注，因为它引起了一个重要的讨论，在这个讨论中，20世纪的前卫艺术受到了许多领域的批评和理论化。罗莎琳德·克劳斯（Rosalind Krauss）、伊夫-阿兰·波依斯（Yve-Alain Bois）和哈尔·福斯特（Hal Foster）等人编辑了该杂志并撰写了文章，他们被称为“十月派”。本项目旨在厘清《十月》的整体形象，审视《十月》中许多引人注目的文章的历史和理论，并重新思考后现代时期的审美现代主义和艺术批评。作为这个项目的成果，我们可以列出以下几点。从类型或媒介上看，“十月”学派偏重于电影、摄影和雕塑。它试图重新评价，例如，爱森斯坦的电影，r .塞拉的雕塑和20世纪20年代达达主义和构成主义的蒙太奇。通过对审美现代主义的反思，可以明确地看出20世纪20年代的前卫艺术具有背离现代主义的派性和理性主义的特征。用指数、伪装、无形、冲动等新的形式概念来分析艺术作品是值得注意的，因为它也试图超越形式主义的批判。从女性主义、制度、精神分析等角度分析艺术作品，也是克服形式主义的重要方向。它的理论基础之一是法国的后建构主义，但它显然存在许多问题。

A quarterly "October" was first published in 1976 by MIT Press and goes on now. Many people pay attention to this journal, for it rouses an important discussion where avant-garde arts in the 20 century have been criticized and theorized from many fields. Such people as Rosalind Krauss, Yve-Alain Bois, and Hal Foster have edited the journal and written essays and they have been called the "October"school. The aim of this project is to make clear the whole image of "October", examining the history arid theory of many noticeable essays in "October" and to reconsider the aesthetic modernism and the art critisism in the postmodern era. One can list the following points as the result of this project.1. From the point of genre or medium, "October"school lays stress on film, photography and sculpture. It tries to revaluate, for example, Eisenstein's film, R.Serra's sculpture and the photomontage of Dada and Constructivism in the 1920's.2. On reconsidering the aesthtic modernism it has been definitely shown that the avant-garde in the 1920's had characteristics which deviated from the factionalism and rationalism of modernism.3. The analysis of art works by the new concepts of form such as index, camouflage, formless and impulse is noticeable, for it also tries to exceed the formalistic critisism.4. The analysis of art works from such points of view as feminism, institution and psychoanalysis is also the important direction of overcoming the formalism. One of its theoretical foundations is the post-constructivism in France, but it is clear that it contains many problems.
