审美现代性视野中的接受理论——论西方现代接受理论的价值追求

Receptive Theory in the Perspective of Aesthetic Modernity——on the Value Pursuit of Western Modern Receptive Theory

西方现代接受理论并非一种普通的阅读理论和文学史理论,而是在审美现代性的文学背景和理论背景之下产生的、具有鲜明批判色彩的美学理论。它从西方现代主义文学中吸收文学经验,又从康德、席勒、韦伯和马尔库塞等人的手中接过美学批判的旗帜,将其转化为文学接受的命题。无论是对社会秩序的批判,对审美感性的培养,还是对释义多样性的宽容,都体现了审美现代性的价值追求和理论动机。只有将其放在现代性的语境中阐释,才能正确理解其理论蕴含,评价其是非得失。

Modern western receptive theory is not only a general reading theory and literary theory, but also an aesthetic theory with a sharp criticism color in the background of literary theory of aesthetic modernity. It absorbs the experience of literature from the western modern literature, takes over the banner of aesthetic criticism from Kant, Schiller, Weber and Marcuse and others, and translates into the proposition of literature reception. Its criticism to the social order, the cultivation of aesthetic emotion, the tolerance of diversity of interpretations, all reflects the value pursuit and the theory motivation of aesthetic modernity. Only putting in the context of modernity for interpretation can we correctly understand the theory and evaluate the gains and losses.
