Dilemma of Contemporary Cultural Criticism and Breakthrough of New Aestheticism
Since the beginning of the new century,there has been a tendency in returning to aesthetics in Western literary,which is embodied in new aestheticism.New aestheticism is not only a contemporary response to the de-bate between poetry and philosophy,but also a reflection and correction of the instrumentalism and anti-aestheti-cism in contemporary cultural criticism.It engages in in-depth discussions on the nature and function of art,which have driven the new aestheticism to conduct meticulous examinations of the aesthetic characteristics of literary works in critical practice and adopt a method of"ultra close-up"and"other reading"to give full attention to the individ-ual's aesthetic experience.However,new aestheticism do not aim to build a grand aesthetic system,but rather seek to discover new aesthetic concepts and interpretive methods in specific artworks.
