回归文类

Returning Back to Literary Genre

文类曾拥有的霸权地位,在20世纪不断遭到解构,克罗齐甚至否定文类存在的可能性。托多罗夫、韦勒克、沃伦、莫莱蒂等人则强调回归文类的重要性和迫切性。从文类出发,将有助于增强我们对文学性的理解和对文学世界的体验。可以说,文类也是生命存在的一种方式。马克主义者从未放弃将文类与社会、历史相关联的治学路径,并沿着这一方向在文类起源与嬗变、文本间性、文学史建构等问题上结出了硕果。而符号学的发展,又从另外一个角度肯定了马克思主义文类研究模式的普泛性价值。

Although literary genre has occupied a hegemonic role in the history of literary theory , it has been continually deconstructed since the 20th century .Some western scholars ,such as Benedet-to Croce even deny the possibility of genre’ existence .However ,Tzvetan Todolov ,Rene Wellek , Austin Warran ,and Franco Moretti still emphasize the importance and urgency of returning back to genre .The genre can help us understand literariness and the experience of the literature world .It can be concluded that the genre is another existence of life .Marxists have never given up the research method of combining genre ,society and history together ,and have succeeded in the study of genre’s origin and change ,intertextuality and the construction of literary history .Nowadays ,the development of semiotics affirms the common value of Marxism research model of genre .
