藝術社會學如何探討藝術現象？藝術活動對於社會集體的意義是什麼？傳統社會學研究，主要在考察人類社會的集體現象，系統制度的運作，知識與權力的關係，行動者的邏輯，文化意義的詮釋，以及整體社會發展與變遷過程。我們將一起思考，藝術活動長久以來，作為人類集體活動的現象之一，究竟在社會發展的道路上，扮演著什麼樣的角色？本課程將探討，藝術如何讓我們更好地理解台灣的社會發展現象？在台灣的現代化經驗中，以國家領導的工業化進程，產業資本發展為導向的社會架構下，行動者如何認識、理解、接受藝術的意義與價值？並以各種藝術形式與社會介入的概念，以及社會行動者的藝術創作、藝術接受過程，考察晚近藝術與社會發展的經驗。

本課程的問題意識討論包括：一方面，從結構主義的觀點來看，藝術，在人類社會中作為一種集體現象，廣泛地受到一個社會的文化、政治經濟脈絡所影響，在這個意義上，藝術活動幾乎是受社會結構制約下的產物。然而另一方面，藝術家經常是各個時代「前衛」與「自由」的象徵，我們將同時考察藝術場域中，不同行動者的邏輯，問題不再限於什麼是藝術，而是藝術對行為者所代表的社會意義。我們將思考一系列研究人類如何持續創造意義的進程，為什麼在某個時期，一些事物會被定義為「藝術」，一些人被稱之為「藝術家」，而其他的人事物則不被包含在內。另一方面，我們也將同時考察，不同的行動者如何接受藝術？為什麼人類對於藝術的詮釋持續地產生變化？以及這樣的意義典範轉變，又對社會發展帶來什麼樣的效應並實踐出新的社會價值？

How does the sociology of art explore artistic phenomena? What is the significance of artistic activities to social collectives? Traditional sociological research mainly examines the collective phenomena of human society, the operation of systems and institutions, the relationship between knowledge and power, the logic of actors, the interpretation of cultural significance, and the overall social development and change process. We will think together about what role art activities, as one of the phenomena of collective human activities, have played in the path of social development for a long time. This course will explore how art can help us better understand the social development phenomenon in Taiwan? In Taiwan's modernization experience, under the social structure guided by the state-led industrialization process and the development of industrial capital, how do actors recognize, understand, and accept the meaning and value of art? It also examines the recent experience of art and social development through the concepts of various art forms and social intervention, as well as the artistic creation and art acceptance processes of social actors.

Discussions of problem awareness in this course include: On the one hand, from a structuralist point of view, art, as a collective phenomenon in human society, is widely affected by the cultural, political and economic context of a society. In this sense, artistic activities are almost a product restricted by social structure. However, on the other hand, artists are often symbols of "avant-garde" and "freedom" in various eras. We will also examine the logic of different actors in the art field. The question is no longer limited to what art is, but the social significance that art represents to actors. We will consider a series of processes that examine how humans continue to create meaning, and why at a certain time some things are defined as "art", some people are called "artists", and others are not included. On the other hand, we will also examine how different actors accept art. Why do humans’ interpretations of art continue to change? And what effect will such a paradigm shift in meaning have on social development and create new social values?
