接受理论的悖论

The Paradox of the Reception Theory

西方接受理论,又称接受美学,对我国的文学理论、文学研究影响甚大。姚斯的以读者接受为中心的文学史模式的核心概念"期待视野"、费什的读者反应批评理论、伊泽尔的"审美响应理论"等均放逐作品本文,过度抬高读者接受的地位,理论上难于自圆其说,他们的论证中又离不开作品本文,便不自觉地回到传统的文学批评的路子,造成了理论与实践的悖论。

The reception theory,also known as reception aesthetics,has a great influence on the theories and studies of literature in China.Concepts such as Hans Robert Jauss' 'horizon of expectations',which is the core concept in the model of literary history centered on reader conception,Stanley Fish's 'reader-response criticism' theory,Wolfgang Lser's theory of 'aesthetic response',etc.,all exile the text and over-stress reader reception,rendering it difficult to justify themselves.As they cannot just leave the texts in their discourse,they return unconsciously to the traditional path of literary criticism,causing a paradox between theory and practice.
