新时期文学价值论的演进与论争

Evolution and Controversy of Literary Value Theory in the New Era

文学价值论是在价值论视野下形成的一种文学研究理论。新时期文学价值论研究发端于20世纪80年代中期,在80年代后期、90年代初中期达到高潮,目前依然余绪不断。新时期对文学价值论的重视,是世界哲学发展的必然,是中国特定社会发展阶段的产物,也是文学理论界反思的结果。新时期文学价值论研究,在文学认识论与文学价值论的区别、文学价值的多元性、文学的商品价值等方面展开,引发了一系列论争,取得了丰富的成果。新时期文学价值论演进与论争中所表现出的强烈的问题意识、自觉的方法论意识对当下的文学理论研究提供了借鉴。同时,这一问题研究中存在着非此即彼的一元论思维,忽略了文学价值的多元性。关于文学商品价值的研究,随着时代的发展、社会状况的变化会越来越丰富,尤其是在文学产业、文化产业已被广泛接受的当下,对这一问题的研究有更为广阔的推进的空间。

Literary value theory is a sort of literary research theory formed in the view of value theory. Its study in the New Era of China originated during the mid - 80s of the 20th century, and reached its climax during the late - 80＇ s and the early - and mid - 90＇ s, and is still going on uninterruptedly. In the New Era, it is the inevitability of the development of world philosophy, and the product of China＇ s specific so- cial development stage, and, too, the result of a reflection on the circles of literary theory. Centering on the difference between literary epistemology and literary theory of value, its diversity, and the commodity value of literature, and other factors, it has achieved a wealth of results meanwhile it has triggered off a series of controversies. And the strong sense of problem consciousness and the self - consciousness of methodology manifested by the evolution and controversy of literary value theory provide a reference for the current study on literary theory. At the same time, there still exists in the study an either/or monism thinking, ignoring the diversity of literary value. The study on the commodity value of literature will become wider and wider along with the development of the era and the changes of social conditions. Especially during the present time when literary and cultural industries have been widely accepted, its study will have the wider space to be carried on.
