中国民间文学批评史研究的理论范畴与方法论建构

Theoretical Category and Methodology of the Research on the Critical History of Chinese Folk Literature

"中国民间文学批评史"是中国文学批评史研究的新领域,对于这一研究对象的历史形态、内涵特点、社会文化价值等做理论概括和深入阐释,必须确立适用于它的基本理论范畴,构建一套行之有效的研究方法。研究中国民间文学批评史,应将历时性研究和共时性研究紧密结合,在"史""论"结合的研究模式中确立基本的理论范畴,譬如在重点研究中国古代民间文学批评的流变史的基础上,确立其基本性质,阐释其社会、文化、审美内涵,研究其社会文化功能等。在研究中要注意将"还原"与"阐释"相结合,而综合性的话语分析、参今鉴古、多重证据法等都是行之有效的研究方法。

The critical history of Chinese folk literature is a new area in the study of the history of Chinese literary criticism. In order to make a theoretical generalization and thorough interpretation of this research including its historical form, connotations, characteristics and socio-cuhural values, applicable theoretical categories and an effective methodology must be established. Research on the criticism of Chinese folk literature should apply synchronic and diachronic study together and establish basic categories by combining narration and interpretation. For example, on the basis of the research on the evolution of criticism of Chinese ancient folk literature, its basic features, social, cultural and aesthetic connotations and socio-cultural functions should also be analyzed. ＂Restoration＂ and ＂interpretation＂ are to be combined; all-around discourse analysis, textual research of the ancient based on the present and multiple lines of evidence are effective methods to be employed.
