作为虚构的意识形态的文学

Literature as Imaginary Ideology

由于中国近、现代文学生成和发展的特殊境况,致使我们的文学理论在某种程度上忽略了对文学虚构性的追问。虚构“不是想象某种现实的东西,而是现实地想象某种东西”的特点,说明文学活动是在价值关系的基础上对现实人生的反思和批判。文学虚构活动的复杂机制要求文学研究走出审美关系,进入更为宽广的人生领域。强调这些不是否认文学的价值和文学活动的意义,而是对文学价值的重新思考。

The query on the imaginariness of literature is neglected to some degree, owing to the special circumstances in which the modem Chinese literature originates and develops. Imaginariness is 'not to imagine what exists in reality, but to imagine something realistically.' It means that literary activity is reflection and criticism of teal life on the basis of value relationship. Because of the complicated mechanism of imaginariness of literature, literary research is expected to transcend aesthetic relationship and enter a wider scope of life. It is not to deny the value and significance of literature, but to reconsider the value of literature.
