Actively Dancing of the Theory and Treatment to the History——A Review of The Main Tide of Chinese Contemporary Literature

陈晓明的《中国当代文学主潮》以"现代性""历史化"等后现代理论作为基础,以过人的治史眼光和细致的文本分析给予"当代文学"命名的合法性以及文学史叙述的多种可能性。与当代文学史料研究有所不同的是,陈晓明的研究虽然重视"论从史出",但他更重视历史的叙述需要有深厚的理论基础作指导以及治史者过人的眼光和带有个体性体验的文本解读,作为其产物的《中国当代文学主潮》由此呈现出理论的巨大解释力和方法论上的实用性,解决了当代文学研究和批评中诸多二元对立的难题,为当代文学研究打开了新的思路。

Chen Xiaoming＇s The Main Tide of Chinese Contemporary Literature, based on the postmodem theory of ＂modernity＂ and ＂historieization＂, justifies the naming of ＂Contemporary Literature＂ as well as the possibilities of the narrative of literary histm^- with an extraordinary historical perspective and meticulous text analysis. Different fi＇om the study of the history of contemporary literature, although Chen Xiaoming/s research attaches great importance to the saying ＂ Theory comes out fi＇om the history. ＂, he places much more stress on it that historical narration should be based on a profound theory as a guide as well as a distinctive eye for the history- and a text interpretation with individual experience. The great explanatory power of the theory and the practicality of methodology presented by his work The Main Tide of Chinese Contemporary Literature , have solved many ＂dualistic＂ problems in the research and criticism of contemporary literature, and opened up a new view for the study of the contemporary literature.
