当代西方文论话语反思与中国文论话语建设

Reflections on the Discourse of Modern Western Literary Theory and the Chinese Literary Theoretical Discourse

博大精深的中华文化,从来就有自己别具特色的学术话语体系。然而,在现当代中国,西方文论在中国成为强势话语,反衬的是中国本土话语的失落和中国文论的失语。如何建设中国当代人文社会科学学术体系和学术话语体系,重建中国文化自信,是当代人文社会科学研究的重大任务。因此,反思当代西方文论话语的弊端,是真正展开中国与西方文论对话,融入国际话语体系,甚至超越西方文论话语体系,建设中国当代文论话语的一条可行而且必要的路径。当代西方文论话语是中国文论走向国际学术前沿的重要参照系,对其弊端的反思,很可能成为中国文论话语体系建设的助推器,有助于我们更好地把握中国文论话语的基本特征,以及重建适应时代需求的世界性文论话语体系。

The broad and profound Chinese culture has its own unique academic discourse system long in the historj~ However, in contemporary China, the phenomenon of lacking in our own discourse arises under the strong influence of western discourse. It is an urgency to today＇s humanities and social science research to consider the question on how to construct our academic discourse system and regain cultural confidence. Therefore, this article suggests that reflecting on the defects of the discourse of modern literary theory is a necessary way to enter into a dialogue between China and the West, join the international discourse system, and construct a modern Chinese literary theoretical discourse system which surpasses the western one. Discourse of modern western literary theory is of reference value to Chinese literary theory when it goes to the international academic front. Therefore, a reflection on the western theory might help us to better master the essential features of Chinese literary theoretical discourse, and reconstruct a new worldwide discourse system to cope with needs of the times.
