《闲情偶寄》:一个剧论的知识社会学文本

Xian Qing Ou Ji: Dramatic Theories as a Text of Knowledge Sociology

在知识社会学维度上,《闲情偶寄》彰显出一股社会新气息,它不仅是明末清初社会崇真尚实的民主思想、市民阶层休闲文化消费、官绅日益膨胀的奢华美学思想以及南方商品经济发展的产物,还是市民阶层抵制理学、提倡人文精神的产物。它已然超越它的知识本身,文本中诸多审美范畴被清代及后世消费文学频繁援引,也被译为多种语言而传播于海外。它被发现或未被阐释的知识俨然成为明清社会更迭期的"晴雨表",作品所传递的知识语用学亦呈现出被信赖与宽容的世界性知识存在。

From the perspective of sociology of knowledge, Xian Qing Ou Ji （a work of dramatic theories） reflects new trends in its society. It is the fruit of the late Ming Dynasty and the early Qing Dynasty, an age that witnessed the realistic worship of democratic thoughts, the consumerism of the leisurely common people＇s culture, the burgeoning luxury aesthetics of the gentry stratum, and the development of commodity economy. It is also the product of the common people＇s class in pursuit of humanism against the Li school of Confucianism. Some aesthetic notions from the work have reached out to the consumerist literature of the Qing Dynasty and the times after, as well as spreading overseas in various languages. The work is a ＂narrator＂ in a time of succession in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, with its knowledge discovered but not yet interpreted. The pragmatics of knowledge conveyed in the work is a demonstration of the existence of universal knowledge that is trusted and accepted.
