迷途与通途——对百年中国文论建设历史与现状的反思

Loss and Thoroughfare:Reflection upon the History and Present Situation of Centennial Chinese Literary Theory Construction

中国百年的文论建设是在西方文艺思想的影响下进行的,经历了四个阶段,即第一个阶段是从清末的王国维等一代学人倡导学习西学到新中国成立;第二个阶段是从新中国成立到上世纪70年代末;第三个阶段是从上世纪70年代末到90年代初;第四个阶段是从上世纪90年代初到今天。它的理论轨迹是从政治的诉求到审美的诉求,再从审美的诉求转向文化的诉求。在这种不断的转型中,中国的文论建设困惑重重,中西融合的建设思路是一条可取的通途。

Under the influence of western thought of literature and arts,the construction of Chinese literary theory during the last 100years has experienced four stages.The first stage lasts from the late Qing Dynasty during which Wang Guowei and other scholars advocated learning from the west to the founding of the new republic China.The second stage starts from new China to the 1970s.The third stage is from the 1970sto the early 1990s.And the fourth stage extends from the 1990sto the present day.Its theoretical development transforms from political intention to aesthetic appeal,and then to cultural concern.In this constant transformation,Chinese literary theory construction appears to be confused and lost,however.Only through the combination of Chinese and western cultural construction can people find out the solution.
