浅草—沉钟社的文化抉择与二元文学观

The Cultural Choice and Duality in Literature View of Association of Qiancao-Chengzhong

在对文学之本质、特征和功能的认识上,浅草—沉钟社均具有鲜明的二元倾向。这种二元文学观的形成根源于其在中西文化交汇中建立起来的以“人”为本的文化思想体系,因而具有必然性。当其从以自我为本位、鼓吹“爱己”的个性主义价值观出发、把自我觉醒的心灵本身作为表现对象时,必然会强调“为艺术而艺术”;而当其从以“爱人”为特征的人道主义伦理观出发去关注外在的客观世界时,也势必会形成“为人生而艺术”的倾向。这种二元文学观在理论上虽然显得不够圆熟,但在当时的时代语境和文学语境中却具有积极的意义。

Based on the understanding of the essence, characteristics and function of literature, the Association of Qiancao-Chengzhong has clear dual tendency. The forming of this duality in literature view originates from the cultural ideological system establishing from the mixture of Chinese and Western culture. It emphasizes that art is for the sake of art when it starts from the individual value of ego-based and takes the awakening mind itself as expressing objects; However, it prefers that art is for the sake of life when it starts from the ethic of humanitarianism and concerns the outside world. Although the theory of duality in literature view seems immature, it has positive significance in age and literature environment of the time.
