生命体验与当下文学批评空间的重新开创

Life Experience and Reconstruction of the Space for Contemporary Literary Criticism

当下文学批评的失语与批评功能的缺位已然成为一个不争的事实。无论是学院派批评、行业性批评还是媒体化批评,相当程度上暗含学理性匮乏的致命缺陷,以致难以有效进入当下文学现场。当下文学批评只有融合生命体验和主体意识,真正地走向细读式与历史性的研究实践,才能有力获取更契合文本实质、贴近作家精神世界的重新认识,才能有效推进当下文学批评空间的重新开创。这对于文学批评家来说,是一种真正使命,更是一种极大挑战。

It is an indisputable fact that literary criticism cannot make its voice heard and its function felt in contemporary society. Whether it is done by scholars from the institutes of higher learning or by professionals from the literary industry or by the critics from the mass media, contemporary literary criticism to a large extent shows a lack of rationality, thus failing to be an indispensible part of the contemporm-y literary scene. Only by integrating life experience with subject consciousness and through the close-reading of literacy texts and putting the text into COlTeCt historical context when making interpretations can a fresh recognition of literary criticism, which is more in line with textual essence and closer to writers＇ spiritual world, be achieved and new birth of literary criticism be effectively promoted. For literary critics, what has been mentioned above is not only a real mission but more importantly a great challenge.
