论文本与经典——关于文学史本体的思考

On the Text and the Classics——Contemplation on Literary History in its Own Sense

文学史是以一种实在性与抽象性相兼的姿态存在着,且以文本、人本、思本和事本为其呈现形态。文本作为文学史的本体,主要指历代文学作品,即物化了的、用文字记录下来的被文字所凝固的文学创作活动。无论什么时代的文学史或中国文学史的课堂教学都体现着文学史本体观。从文学史角度看,所谓文学经典就是入史率极高的文学作品,文学作品的入史率可以作为测定其经典化程度和水平的重要参数。文学经典不是永恒不变的化石。当代文学家及媒体对经典应作严肃、正确的阐释和积极有效的传播。

Literary history is characteristic of reality and abstraction in torm of text, humanity, ideology and world. The text as the existing form of literary history refers mainly to literary works in history, that is, the literary writing activities that are materialized, word - recorded and word - freezed. Thus in terms of literary history; the literary classics mean those that enjoy higher percentage of historification, so they are varying as history goes. Therefore contemporary men of letters and mass media should interpret and propagate literary classics seriously and appropriately.
