文学伦理学批评的现状和走向

Current Situation and Future Trend of Ethical Literary Criticism

文学伦理学批评自2004年由聂珍钊教授提出之后,其独特的视角和原创性受到了广泛的关注。聂教授已建构了该方法的理论框架并区分了与道德批评之间的异同。国内一批知名青年学者进一步发展了该理论的内涵。同时,广大的外国文学研究者则把这一理论应用于各类文学作品的批评实践中。笔者认为该理论目前存在三个问题:伦理和道德概念的混淆;伦理批评和道德批评的混淆;相关概念的不够细化。由此,笔者预测文学伦理学批评今后的走向将呈现几个特点,即伦理内涵的重新阐释;文学伦理学批评和其它批评方法的深入结合;文学伦理学批评和道德批评语码的不断建构;相关概念的不断涌现和界定。

Since its being put forward by Professor Nie Zhenzhao in June, 2004, ethical literary criticism has widely attracted people＇s attention with its unique perspective and originality. At present, Professor Nie has worked out the theoretical system. Other outstanding Chinese scholars have helped to develop its theories. More and more foreign literature researchers have applied this theory to their analyses of all kinds of literary works. As far as we see it, there are generally three problems, namely, undifferentiated use of the terms of ethics and morality; confusion over ethical literary criticism and moral criticism ; lack of further classification of related terms. In consideration of these, it is safe to predict that the future trend of this approach will display four features ： redefinition of ethics; organic combination of ethical literary criticism with other critical approaches ; construction of the key terms of ethical literary criticism and moral criticism; continuous appearance and definition of related terms.
