How the Postmodern Literary Theories Entered China and Inserted Influences?

本文回顾、考察了西方后现代主义文论思潮从上世纪80年代起至今逐步进入中国并产生越来越大影响的五个阶段;以大量实证材料客观地揭示出这种影响是在文艺理论界对后现代文论借鉴、吸收和拒绝、批判的矛盾中发生发展的,而不是单向地盲目接受和生搬硬套;以本质主义思维方式的讨论为例,阐明后现代主义文论在中国同时产生的积极与消极影响错综复杂、交织互动的特点。

This article reviews and examines the five stages during which postmodern literary theory currents gradually entered China and exerted influences since the 1980 s. With a significant amount of empirical evidence,the paper demonstrates that the influences of the Western postmodernism filtered slowly through the field of Chinese literary theory in the process during which Chinese theoretical circle did not unreservedly embrace the theories but accepted the influences through borrowing and assimilation,refutation and criticism. The paper takes the essentialist way of thinking as an example and expounds the characteristics of the positive and negative impacts which the postmodern literary theories have on Chinese theories.
