改革开放以来中国儿童文学理论研究评述

A Literature Review of the Theories of the Chinese Children Literature since 1978

改革开放30年以来,中国儿童文学理论在观念上发生了本质性变化,"以儿童为主体"的儿童文学创新意识推动了儿童文学与儿童读物的创作、编辑和出版。相对而言,儿童文学理论在中国仍然处于弱势地位,亦存在种种困惑和不足。儿童文学理论研究一方面受到当代社会、文化和意识形态语境的制约,另一方面,也参与当代文化和意识形态建构。因此,在文学话语内部批评儿童文学,是确保儿童文学既保持其独立性及特点又融汇于文学话语之中的有效途径,从而确保儿童文学理论批评在与外界的不断交流中保存自己,并且形成一个不断变化又相对稳定的结构。

Since the reform and opening- up practices 30 years ago, radical changes have appeared in the theories of Chinese children literature. The children - oriented idea has greatly promoted the creation, edition and publication of children literature as well as readings for children. Comparatively, theories of children literature in China are far from maturity. Theoretical studies of children literature are subjective to the social, cultural and ideological context today and they are also an integral part of the contemporary cultural and ideological construction. Criticism within the framework of literary discourse is actually an effective approach, ensuring that children literature is inde- pendent though involved in literary discourse, so that it will remain as a dynamic but comparatively stable system.
