胡适新诗观和意象主义诗学的差异及其启示

Differences between Hu Shih's Poetic Thoughts of Vernacular Poetry and the Poetics of Imagism and Their Inspirations

长期以来,很多学者倾向于认为胡适的白话新诗受到了意象主义诗歌的启发和影响。本研究以文化研究为视角,通过分析诗歌的文化功能与文学性之间的平衡、诗歌与诗歌传统、诗歌语言三方面,来阐释二者表层相似性下的深层次差异。以意象主义诗学为参照,指出胡适新诗诗歌观的不足,以及对加强新诗诗学理论建设的启示。

Many scholars have long been inclined to believe that Hu Shih’s vernacular poetry is illuminated and influenced by the Imagism poetry. With the analysis of the balance between poems’ cultural function and the literariness, poems and poetic traditions, and poetic language, this paper aims to dig out the profound differences between Hu Shih’s vernacular poetry and the Imagist poetry from the perspective of cultural studies. By this comparison, faults in Hu Shih’s poetic thoughts will be helped to fix and the inspiration on enhancing the poetic theory of vernacular poetry will be learnt.
