理论是如何讲述的——以童庆炳先生主编《文学理论教程》的编写为例来说明

Narration of Theory——Course of Literary Theory Edited by Professor Tong Qingbing as a Case

文学理论反思研究的内容之一,是考察以教材为载体的文学理论讲述。童庆炳先生主编的《文学理论教程》最具有代表性。《文学理论教程》作为审美文论思潮的产物,以崭新的理论命名,富于创造性的体例框架以及对于中西方文论大胆借鉴和积极吸纳的姿态等,完成了对新时期之初文学理论讲述模式的超越,实现了文学理论知识讲述的现代性转型。问题与局限主要体现在:对新思想、新观念和新体例的过度追求,抑制了对自身科学性的要求;名词术语的密集使用增加了教材的费解程度;个别语病降低了人们的阅读美感。

One content for reflection upon literary theory is to carry an investigation about how literary theory is narrated in course books,among which edited by professor Tong Qingbing is a good case.As a product of aesthetic thoughts,this book has transcended the traditional mode of narrating literary theory by means of new names of theory,innovative style of narration,a bold assimilation of Chinese and Western literary theory and so on.This book has embodied a modern transition of the ways to narrate literary theory.However,there are also some limitations：first,an excessive pursuit of new thoughts,new ideas and new modes has impaired its scientific nature;second,the overuse of terms has impaired its accessibility;last,some grammmatical errors have impaired its excellence.
