当下中国社会转型中的理性批判与文论的新理性精神

Rationalist Criticism in China's Current Social Transformation and the Neo - Rationalist Spirit in Literary Theory

规定文论建构的现实语境,是通过现实生活的实践活动而发挥作用的。构成当下社会转型实践特征的时间,起于上世纪80年代,直至当下。这是一个以批判与建构相互作用为总体特征的历史时期。在这一历史时期,根据不同的特征,又可有不同分期,即理性批判期、理性应变延续期、理性择向期,以及新理性精神构建期。新理性精神建构是贯穿上述诸分期的理性活动,对于分期根据,乃是取于90年代它被命名式地提出这一标志。文学理论的新理性精神集中体现在人文精神、现代性、传统重估与继承,以及大众文化四个方面。

Realistic contexts define the construction of literary criticism, and they function through the practices in reality. The current historical period since 1980s has been characterized by social transformation which shows a general feature of interaction between criticism and construction. This period is in turn divided into four different phases characterized by the critique of ratio- nalism, contingent continuation of rationalism, direction selecting, and neo - rationalist spirit construction, while the neo - ra- tionalist spirit is constructed along all the phases. The neo -rational spirit was proposed and named in the 1990s, and the neo - rationalist spirit in literary theory shows in the four aspects of humanism, modernity, the revaluation and inheriting of tradition, and the mass culture.
