对文艺学“文化研究转向”论的反思

Rethinking on the "Turning to Culture Study" of Literary Theory

"日常生活审美化"问题的讨论正把对文艺学的学科反思推向深入。反思之一是中国当代文艺学学科的危机并非因为审美活动已经渗透到大众的日常生活中,而主要在于对中国和世界当前文学发展的新现实、新思潮、新特点有所疏离,并对信息时代的大众传媒文艺、网上文学等新鲜的文学形态和体制研究不够。反思之二是文化研究作为一种跨学科的研究,其某些思路、视角、思考方式、研究方法和合理成果,对文艺学无疑具有借鉴意义,但"文化研究转向"绝非解决文艺学学科危机的良策;文艺学在引入文化的维度时,千万不能丢掉了对于文学更基本的东西——审美的维度。

The discussion on the aestheticization of daily life is now pushing the rethinking of literary theory to deepening. Firstly, the China contemporary crisis of literary theory is not due to the pervasion of aesthetic judgment into daily life, but the alienation from the new reality, new ideological trend md new characteristic of present literature development of China and foreign countries, and the studies, on new literary form and system of masses media literature, and present literature online in at this information age are not enough. Second, culture study has some references to literary theory, but 'turning to culture study' is not a good idea for solving the crisis of literary theory. In adopting the culture study methods literary theory can not throw over the dimension of aesthetic judgment which is the most basic element for literature.
