文学性、反本质主义及空间转向

Literariness, Anti-Essentialism and Spatial Turn

作为衡量文学的尺度,文学性有着不同的考察脉络。反本质主义冲击了从形象性到审美意识形态这种迄今仍居于主导地位的理解文学性的本质主义范式,从一元本质、多元本质走向没有本质。文学性应该放弃那种穿越时空的迷思,交由共时空间结构中的诸多关系项进行充分博弈后再予确定。

Different ways may be applied to the investigation of literariness as a measure in judging literature. The dominant way to understand literariness has been within an essentialist mode, which approaches literature from the perspective of imagery and aesthetic ideology, which has been under attack from the anti - essentialistic approach. Anti - essentialistic approach develops from the monistic to the pluralistic and ultimately to the nonessentialistic. The paper maintains that the investigation of literariness should rid itself of the myth of trans - tempo - spatiality and entrust itself to the interplay between the interrelated factors in the synchronic spatial structure in literature.
