在历史与诗学之间——罗兰·巴尔特的神话美学

BETWEEN HISTORY AND POETICS——Mythology of Roland Barthes

在中国学界,罗兰.巴尔特常被看作大力提倡文本内部自涉性和零度写作的结构-后结构主义理论家。事实上,巴尔特一直有另一面,即以知识分子的批判立场来参与历史和文本建构。他的神话符号学融合意识形态批评和形式主义批评,揭示出在相似的语词结构之下所隐含的时代内涵,从而既有别于左派立场又不同于纯粹语言学。考察巴尔特的神话符号学,有助于我们全面理解他的复杂性,从"现代神话"的角度来观察大众文化现象。

Chinese scholars have usually regarded Roland Barthes as a structuralist or post-structuralist who greatly called for self-reference of inner-text. In the fact, Roland Barthes was always participating in the construction of text from the point of intellectual＇s criticism. His myth semiology tied to make ideological criticism and formalist criticism through opening out the connotative meanings from the same frameworks of language, which made him different from the Left and single linguistics. Therefore, reviewing Barthes＇ mythology is helpful to understand his complexity and look into the mass-cultural phenomena from the point of ＂Modern Myth＂.
