迷失与偏离——对中国当下文化批评的理性思考

Rational Reflection on Present Cultural Criticism of China

中国当下的文化批评是一种人为的选择 ,而非合乎逻辑的自然结果。由于缺乏现实的生存土壤和学理的合法性 ,它正呈现出一种迷失发展方向、偏离文学理论轨道的征候 ,陷于逐渐自我消解的困境。其主要表征是批评的泛化和浮躁、文学经典的边缘化以及批评规则的丧失。中国当下的文化批评实际上是对文学艺术所作的一种非文学形态的研究和评论 ,是社会历史批评的翻版。若不及时调整当下文化批评的发展方向和运行轨道 。

The present cultural criticism of China is not a natural result conforming to logic but a man made selection. Being short of the existent condition and legitimate right in scientific principle, the present cultural criticism of China presents the sign that it loses its bearings and deviates literary criticism line. It has landed itself in a predicament of being deconstructed by itself. The inundation and impetuosity of criticism, the fringing of cultural classics and the losing of critical regulation are the main expression. In fact,the present cultural criticism of China is a kind of unliterary research and critique about literature and art. It is a republication of social historical criticism. If we don't change its developing direction and moving orbit, Chinese literary criticism will confront more critical predicament.
