论“新批评”文学理论对宇文所安唐诗研究的影响

Impact of the New Criticism Theory on Stephen Owen's Studies of Tang Poetry

宇文所安的唐诗研究受到"新批评"理论的深刻影响,这一方面体现在他对初—盛唐诗歌史的建构上:初盛唐诗歌的发展史实是诗歌题材和体裁的演变史,其主潮是"宫廷诗—京城诗"的演变;初盛唐诗歌大家的文学成就只有放到"宫廷诗—京城诗"的背景下才能真正得到理解。另一方面体现在他对唐诗进行的语义学分析上:具体表现为他以文本细读方式对唐诗展开的复义语言研究、反讽诗学解读和"三部式"结构分析。

Stephen Owen＇s study of Tang poetry is deeply influenced by theory of new criticism.On the one hand,such influence can be traced in his construction of the history of poems in the early Tang Dynasty.The history of development of the early Tang poems recorded the evolution of poetic styles and subject-matters in the early Tang Dynasty,namely a transition from court poetry to capital poetry.As a result,the literary accomplishments of those great poets in the early days of the dynasty cannot be really comprehended unless interpreted in the background of transferring from court poetry to capital poetry.On the other,his semantic analysis of Tang poetry also shows clues of influence of new criticism.He made holophrastic study in Tang poems,interpreted ironical poetics and analyzed the ＂three-section＂ structure all by study reading the text.
