An Interview with Professor Huang Yuanshen

本文系对华东师范大学博士生导师黄源深教授的访谈录,话题涉及理论与文本、文学研究方法和导向、批评的主体意识、创新意识等文学及文化研究者关心的问题。黄源深教授认为理论是阐释文本、解读作家的工具,文学批评要以细读文本、理解文本为基础。熟悉理论和读透文本是搞好文学批评的前提。批评者的文化背景可以在审视作品的过程中带来视角的优势,合理地挖掘和利用文化视角,有助于在研究中发出自己的声音。文学批评的创新意识在于摆脱奴性,不盲目依赖资料,独立思考,探寻新意,敢于质疑。黄教授特别指出,创新和独立意识可以通过提高思辨能力进行培养。他主张文学批评者培养文学感觉和独立思考的习惯,立足树立批评中的主体意识。

This is an interview between Xue Chunxia and Professor Huang Yuanshen of East China Normal University.The interview covers many key issues in current literary and cultural research in China such as the relations between literary theory and text,methods and orientation,autonomous critical consciousness and innovation in literary study.Professor Huang lays special stress on close reading and regards it as the basis for literary criticism.Critics from different cultural background need to realize their advantage of cultural perspective in text reading,and endeavor to make voices of their own.He suggests that critical innovation could only be found if critics are confident enough to rely on their own thinking than borrow criticisms from others and bold enough to question the existent opinions.Such an arguing capacity,according to Professor Huang,could be acquired with the habit of independent thinking.He advocates young critics to nurture a good sense of judgment in literary reading and form autonomous critical consciousness in literary study.
