On the Innovation of Literary Theory in China

随着中国崛起，一个从“中国制造”向“中国创造”的历史转变正在发生。在人文学科领域尤其是文学理论界，人们有一种深感某种理论原创力不足的焦虑。当中国经济对全球产生重要影响时，当中国的科技论文产量走在世界前列时，我们的文学理论却还靠着东渐之西学度日，如此鲜明的反差不可避免地引发了文学理论工作者的警醒与反思。

China's rise has increased concerns about innovation in China's indigenous literary theory.How to create theories with a 'China style' and global influence has become a serious challenge for the development of contemporary Chinese literary theory.Three strategies are noteworthy in meeting this challenge.First, 'amateurism in professionalism' can be used to offset the constraints of increasing disciplinization and professionalization in literary theory.Second,critical rationality needs to be cultivated among researchers and in institutional forms in order to alter the present lack of rational and vigorous debate,criticism and dialogue.Third,we need to reconstruct 'grand narratives,' so as to make a unique contribution to the world in terms of universal values,meanings and ethics through transforming and advancing traditional Chinese thought.
