西方文论关键词:事件

Event:A Keyword in Critical Theory

"事件"从哲学进入文学空间,成为理解文学存在方式的核心概念。本文试着在现代思想中厘清这一概念:在话语事件的维度上,文学的意谓事件通过话语本身的结构和意向性而发生,言谈、话语、作品、文学被赋予触及存在本身的"意义",文学话语由此成为人创造新的意义、意谓世界本身的事件。在真理事件的维度上,尼采、海德格尔乃至法国当代思想宣称了"文学作为真理事件"的可能性,有意义的文学—事件成就有意义的生活—事件,这是文学、哲学能赋予我们希望的唯一原因,即思想事件与生活事件的相互实现。

＂Event,＂ a philosophical concept, has entered literary realm and become a vital concept. This article attempts to clarify it in modern thoughts. In the dimension of discourse event, the reference event of literature arises through its structure and in- tention, reinvesting speech, discourse, work and literature with meanings attached to being-itself, thus literature discourse becomes event which creates new meaning and re- fers to the world. In the dimension of truth event, Nietzsche, Heidegger and modern French thinkers declare that literature is truth event, which means that meaningful liter- ature-event brings up meaningful life-event. It is the gift that literature and philosophy could give us, which makes thought event and life event reliable.
