关于中国现代文学作家论和作家评传的问题

On Issues of Writers' Criticism and Critical Biographies in Modern Chinese Literature

无论作品论、作家论或作家评传研究,都应从搜集文献资料入手,资料搜集是研究工作的重中之重,资料的齐全有助于研究者更好地理清作家的生命轨迹和创作倾向。在立论过程中要注意形成论点,既要避免"假大空",也要避免"真大空";既要纵览全局,又要把握细部,如此才能保持论点的客观准确。在具体写作过程中要综合把握落笔的分寸感、谋篇布局的匀称、思想内容分析与艺术风格分析的兼容、新材料的发掘、研究者与作家的关系、评论语言的文学性等。这些都是成功的作家论和作家评传不可或缺的要素,也是研究工作的一些关键问题。

All studies on literary works criticism,writers’criticism or critical biographies should start from searching for document literature,which is the priority among priorities for studies.Complete information helps researchers to better grasp writers’life path and their tendency of writing.During viewpoint establishment,attention should be paid to forming arguments to avoid both“true but tall and empty talks”and“false,tall and empty talks”and to see the whole picture as well as tend to details so that the objectiveness and accuracy of arguments can be maintained.In specific writings,overall control should be afforded to the sense of propriety for putting pen to paper,the well-proportioned structure of writing,the compatibility of the analysis of ideas and contents with the analysis of artistic style,the mining of new materials,the relationship between researchers and writers,the literariness of language used for criticism and so on.These are indispensable elements for successful writers’criticism and their critical biographies and key problems for researches.
