文革美学与后古典主义

Aesthetics of Cultural Revolution and Post-Classicism

中国文学理论长期徘徊在文学的自主性和政治性之间,这种困境直接导源于"文革美学"。"文革美学"的实质是古典主义,它包含三种相互关联的基本倾向,其中主观意志暗转为认知理性居于主导地位,这种倾向以突出抽象本质的方式实现特定的功利目的;"文革美学"还包含着惟美形式追求和反转内心空灵的两种辅助倾向。在当时的条件下,前一种倾向得到部分显示,而后一种倾向则一直处在潜伏状态。"后古典主义"是"文革"后支配中国文学理论的美学原则,它承接了"文革美学"的基本倾向,并以新的形态和方式表现出来。为了走出"后古典主义",为了实现自主性与政治性的真正结合,中国文学理论应当将关注的焦点转向以原生现象展现出来的社会生活。

Chinese literature theory has been wondering between autonomy and politics, which leads to aesthetics of culture revolution. The essence of aesthetics of culture revolution is classicism, including three types of correlation trend： Subjective will turning into the rational cognition processed the dominant position; The other trend is pursuing the aesthetic form and flexible and unpredictable inner world; At the then time, the former trend was displayed, and the latter one was latent. Post classicism became the aesthetic principle controlling the Chinese literature theory after cultural revolution. In order to move away from post classicism and to achieve a genuine autonomy and political integration, Chinese literature theory should focus on the original social life.
