回顾刘再复与姚雪垠的论争

Retrospection of the Controversy Between Liu Zaifu and Yao Xueyin

姚刘之争反映的是两代作家、学者对文艺理论问题基本看法的不同,是中国当代文论系统转换中出现的观念冲突。从历史的发展来看,姚雪垠的历史小说和刘再复的文学主体性理论都是我们当代文学的重要文学资源。姚刘之争的论争方式是值得反思的,这表现在以政治批判代替文学论争,在论争中使用武断的谩骂式语言。对此,我们需要重申批评家和作家的雅量,需要维护文学批评的正常原则。

The controversy between Yao and Liu reflects a dispute of basic views on literary theory between two generations of writers and scholars.The conflict appears in the transformation of contemporary Chinese literary theory.From a historical perspective,Both Yao＇s historical novel and Liu＇s theory of subjectivity are important resources in contemporary literature.The controversy way of Yao and Liu is worthy of reflection,which is reflected in replacing literature adbate by political criticism and using abusive language in the debate.We need to reaffirm the critic and writer＇s generosity,and maintain the normal principles of literary criticism.
