再建抒情美学——王德威的《史诗时代的抒情声音》

Reconstructing the Aesthetics of Lyrical:On The Lyrical in Epic Time

王德威重建抒情美学,将抒情作为继"革命"和"启蒙"之后的第三个关键词来理解中国现代性。在《史诗时代的抒情声音》中,王德威的抒情概念不仅呈现为一种新的"自我诗学"、一种对现代中国情感结构的"批判性索引",而且指向了巨变时期情感与历史、革命、启蒙、暴力的纠缠。文学和艺术在危机这一张力空间中呈现新的诗学形态,由此抒情话语也成为重新理解中国现代性的"拓展性范式"。

David Der-wei Wang reconstructs the aesthetics of lyrical by locating＂lyrical/feeling＂as the third keyword after the＂revolution＂and＂enlightenment＂to understand the modernity of China.After criticizing the traditional Chinese poetics and modern resources on lyricism and related aesthetics,Wang resets＂lyrical＂as a new＂poetics of selfhood＂,a new＂critical index＂to the structure of feeling of China,a renewed vision on how does emotion intertwine with history,revolution,enlightenment,and violence,and a perspective to understand the poetic forms of literature and art when encountering a paradoxical space after crisis.The lyrical discourse rises to be an＂extant paradigm＂of Chinese modernity.
