文学事件的两个维度

Two Dimensions of Literary Events

从齐泽克、伊格尔顿、奥斯汀、戴维森等人的相关论述来看,考察文学事件可以有两个维度:一个是语言维度,从文学内部来探寻事件的形成过程和表达事件的语言特征;一个是社会维度,从文学外部来追问事件的形成和意义。就语言维度看,文学是话语行为事件,叙事文学和抒情文学的话语结构化过程有各自的特点;就社会维度看,文学在社会上产生影响,从而成为伦理道德事件、社会文化事件乃至政治事件。

According to the relevant discussions by Zizek, Eagleton, Austin, and Davidson, there are two dimensions in the study of literary events： One is the linguistic dimension, which explores the forming process of the events and the language character- istics of their expressions with in literature; the other is the social dimension, which explores the formation and significance of events beyond literature. In terms of linguistic dimension, literature is the event of discourse behavior. Narrative literature and lyrie literature have their own characteristics in the discourse structured process. In terms of social dimension, literature exerts influence on society, thus turning into ethical events, social ＆ cultural events and even political events.
