This article consists of two parts. For the first, I try to elaborate Georg Simmel’s concept about “how is society possible?”, i.e., there are three transzendental elements, which make society possible: generalized individuum, non-generalized individuum, and societal individuum. Then, the second part of this article will be apply Simmel’s suggestion to analyze “how is the socialness of an artwork possible?”. According to the inspiration of Simmel’s three a priori elements, I developes in this article three social characters of an artwork, in order to response “how is an artwork societal possible?”, namely recognizable, unique, and public. When an artwork cann be analyzed with a sociological perspective, the artwork must perform the three societal components. Finally, I mention that a sociological research of an artwork may confront conflicts between the three societal components, esp. the tension between the individual property of “l’art pour l’art” (the unique of an artwork) and social categories (recognizable and public). How to relieve the dilemma would be the challenge for sociology of artwork. |
