论英美新批评理论中文本的突显

The Elevation of the Text by New Criticism

在西方传统诗学中,文本只是作为艺术的载体而具有工具性意义,其自身的本性是隐而不现的。英美新批评理论以文本的研究为中心,对传统文艺批评形态起到了颠覆性作用。文本的突显并不是文艺批评理论发展进程中的偶然现象。该文试图从西方美学发展的时代性及其特定的时代主题出发,探讨文艺批评理论中文本突显的必然性,以此来理解英美新批评理论的现代意义。

According to traditional western poetic theory, the text is only a tool for the analysis of art and the text itself does not attract much attention. With an obsessive concern with the text itself, British and American New Criticism has a great impact on traditional criticism. The elevation of the text does not emerge accidentally during the course of the development of critic theory. The article explains the necessity of this tendency in terms of the historical background of the development of western aesthetics so that the contemporary significance of British and American New Criticism can be understood.
