当代文论:危机及其应对

The Challenges and Countermeasures of Contemporary Literary Theory

当代文学的变异发展带来文学"泛化"发展和文化研究的转向,当代文论的阐释能力及其有效性均面临多方面的挑战;而当代文论自身在文化转型中试图"突围"和"转向",却又带来了自身的"合法性"危机,以致在理论立场上游移困惑。面对这些挑战和危机,有必要探讨当代文论继续存在发展的理由和根据,以及它进一步转型建构的可能性何在。这就需要在看待文学的存在及其意义的基本观念上作出反思和调整。由此出发,我们应该将对文学的认识阐释,从被定义的转变为被理解的,从本质论的转变为价值论的,从知识论的转变为方法论的,以应对当今的文化转型和文学变革,从而实现当代文论的进一步转型发展。

Literary phenomena are getting increasingly complex at present. So it＇s necessary to reflect the theoretical concept and theoretical stand, and therefore adjust the methods and strategies as contemporary literary theory confronted with challenges and the crisis of legitimacy. To answer the transforming and developing of contemporary literature, we should understand literature with axiology and methodology instead of define it with essentialism and epistemology.
