重构“经典”的难度——以《中国新诗总系》(1950-1970年代卷)为例

Difficulties in Reconstructing“Classics”——a Case Study of Overview on Chinese New Poetry(1950-1970)

经典的遴选是有难度的。它的选择不仅与编选者的审美标准有关,同时还深受编选者所处的时代语境及其文学制度的影响。《中国新诗总系》(十卷本)是新世纪以来由多位专家、学者在总结近三十年来中国新诗研究成果编辑而成的集大成之作,它不仅呈现了三十年来中国新诗研究所达到的高度,同时也重构了百年来中国新诗新的经典。而《中国新诗总系》中的《1950年代卷》、《1960年代卷》、《1970年代卷》所选诗歌是在中国政治、经济、文化波诡云谲时期的诗歌实践,它们彰显了中国新诗(文学)在走向现代性的过程中与中国政治、经济、文化纠缠迎拒的复杂关系。编选者在编辑这三卷时的趣味、标准及其矛盾昭示了中国新诗经典的"重构",不仅是编选者们的一次美学行为,更是一场文化对话行为。

The Overview of Chinese New Poetry（10 volumes） is a masterpiece integrating research achievements of new poetry by many experts and scholars over the past 30 years. It has reached a new level in the Chinese new poetry researches,and also reconstructed the classics of one- century＇s Chinese new poetry. The volumes of 1950,1960 and 1970 are the poetry practice when the Chinese politics,economy and culture were at a bewildering time. They show a complicated relationship between the literature modernization and the Chinese politics,economy and culture. The tastes,standards and contradictions of the compilers in these volumes show that the reconstruct of Chinese new poetry is not only an aesthetic behavior but also a cultural conversation.
