案有琴书家必贫——关于“苦难诗学”的重新思考

A Reconsideration of "Tribulated Poetics"

从比较文论的视野来看,认为优秀的艺术作品是穷苦人生的产物的"苦难诗学",一直有普遍影响。虽然这方面的例子不胜枚举,但深入地追究起来便不难发现,诸多的诠释往往显得似是而非。问题不在于艺术是否擅长于表现苦难,而在于如何表现。优秀的艺术尽管与苦难体验密切相关,但与其说这是对穷困的咏叹,不如讲是对苦难的超越。在根本上讲,真正的艺术杰作尽管远离消费主义的"欢乐诗学",但却属于为人生祝福的"幸福美学"。

According to comparative literary criticism, fine artistic work can be regarded as ＂tribulated poetics＂,the result of hard life,which can produce extensive impact. Even if instances can be cited in this respect,it is not difficult to find that many interpretations seem to be plausible, and the point is not whether tribulation can be expressed in art ,but how it can be expressed. Fine art is closely related to tribulated experience,but it is more the transcendence over tribulation than the chant of poverty. Although the real masterpiece keeps away from consumerist ＂merry poetics＂, it in essence belongs to blessed ＂happy aesthetics＂.
