摘　　要：本文从全球文明批评元话语视域分析20世纪上半叶英国的远东艺术批评家、文物鉴藏家、诗人劳伦斯·宾雍远东艺术研究的三部曲《远东绘画》《龙的腾飞》和《亚洲艺术中人的精神》。绝然不同于20世纪末弗朗西斯·福山的历史终结论或塞缪尔·亨廷顿的文明冲突论,劳伦斯·宾雍的全球艺术文明论的当代价值在于:全面颠覆欧洲传统文艺摹仿论,质疑现代科学主义,否定西方启蒙线型进步知识型和欧洲中心主义,褒扬以中国古典文明为核心的东方人本精神;建构全球艺术文明的跨文化循环宏大叙事,东方文明以中国艺术为核心形成辐射式结构,东西方文明以陆上和海上丝绸之路为纽带形成双向循环;在他提炼的崭新的艺术文明评价和认知模态中,艺术表征的精神化程度而不是科技进步和物质繁荣程度决定文明的层级和优劣。宾雍的全球艺术文明论表征了19世纪末、20世纪初英美现代主义文艺和思想领域戈德沃西·洛斯·迪金森、罗杰·弗莱、亚瑟·韦利、埃兹拉·庞德等共同建构的全球艺术文明话语。这一应时而生的现代西方文明批评话语集体从现代西方文明源头的古希腊精神转向对东方中国古典文明精神的深度阐释和认同。This article analyzes the trilogy of the Far East art study Painting in the Far East, The Flight of Dragon and The Spirit of Man in Asian Art by the English critic of the Far East art, connoisseur and poet in the first half of the 20~(th) century Laurence Binyon from the perspective of the meta-discourse of global civilization critique. Totally different from Francis Fukuyama's theory of the end of history and Samuel Huntington's theory of the clashes of civilizations, the contemporary value of Binyon's theory of global artistic civilization lies in the following aspects: completely subvert European traditional literary and artistic theory of mimesis, question modern scientism, negate the Enlightenment episteme of linear progress and Eurocentrism, eulogize Oriental spirit of man as the quintessence of Chinese classical civilization;construct a grand narrative of transcultural circulation among global artistic civilizations, in which Oriental civilization forms its structure of radiation with Chinese art as the core and Oriental and Occidental civilizations form bidirectional circulation via the overland and maritime Silk Roads;in his newly created model of artistic civilization evaluation and cognition it is the degree of spiritualization symptomized by art instead of the degree of scientific progress and material prosperity determines the level and superiority of civilization. Binyon's theory represents the rise of the discourse of global artistic civilization in Anglo-American Modernist literature, art and thought in late 19~(th) century and early 20~(th) century collectively purported by G. L. Dickinson, Roger Fry, Arthur Waley and Ezra Pound etc. This emergent critical discourse unanimously turns from the Hellenic spirit at the fountainhead of modern Western civilization to the deep interpretation of and identification with Chinese classical civilization in the Orient.
