张力诗学与审美现代性

Tensional Poetics and Aesthetical Modernity

新批评派的诗学又被称为“张力诗学”,在20世纪上半叶曾统治了英美学术界,被认为是和现代主义诗歌相配套的诗学理论。既然如此,张力诗学必然和其提倡的现代主义诗歌一样,张扬审美批判精神。事实也是如此。但由于很多研究者对张力诗学的简单化处理,这一特征往往被忽视。本文试图通过探讨两位在新批评派中有代表性的理论家——兰色姆和布鲁克斯的诗学主张,揭示出包含在张力诗学中审美批判精神。

Tensional poetics is the other name of the New Criticism which was the most influential poetics in England and America in the front half of the 20th century and was thought as be in tune with the Poetry of Modernism. As a consequence, Tensional poetics is determined to possess the critical spirit of Aesthetical Criticism, and the thing is so. However, the critical spirit of Aesthetical Criticism in Tensional Poetics is neglected more often than not as many researchers think it over simplistically. So the thesis tries to reveal it through study the viewpoint of John Crowe Ransom and Cleanth Brooks who was the typical of the New Criticism.
