批评的批评——芝加哥学派的文学思想

The Criticism of Criticism:The Literary Thoughts of The Chicago School of Criticism

芝加哥学派的文学思想突出地表现在对文学批评的解读上。芝加哥学派对文学批评的界定有六个方面:视文学批评为卓越性的人文科学的核心内容;认为相对于历史研究及其他外在性考虑,文学批评应是对于作品本身的评论;相对于先验理论的演绎,认为批评应是作品形式性因素的经验性归纳;相对于印象式批评,认为批评应该是对于作品的理性分析;相对于新批评式的作品语义结构的探究,认定批评主要应该是对于作品形成原理的阐释;相对于文学原理的建构,把理论史的研究作为第一位的任务。

The most important achivement of the Chicago School of Criticism is the interpretation of literary criticism.The Chicago School of Criticism has six ideas of criticism which conclude:criticism is a remarkable activity of liberal arts;criticism should focus on literary work;the main aim of criticism should be generalization of formal elements of literary work;criticism is an activity of reason analysis;criticism should pay much attention to the discovery of the principle of generating of literary work and the primary effort of criticism is to study the history of literary theory.
