回到中国问题的西方文论研究——姚文放教授访谈录

A Study of Western Literary Theories Backing to the Chinese Issues——An Interview with Professor Yao Wen-fang

当代治文艺理论的群体大致分从四条路径进入文艺理论研究:一是从马列文论进入,二是从西方文论进入,三是从中国古代文论进入,四是从美学进入。尽管不无交叉和兼及,但界限也颇为了然。无论是哪一条路径都各有擅场,但从美学进入文艺理论必须长于思辨分析,精于比较判断,工于综合概括。从"回到中国问题,推动中国学术"的本位出发,借鉴和吸收、反思和批判西方文论,促成中外文论的融通和互补,以推进文学理论的长足进展,这在当前和今后较长一段时间,可能成为文学理论一个重要的乃至主要的生长点。

The contemporary literary theory is divided into four paths in study:one is from Marxism-Leninism,the other is from Western literary theory,the third is from ancient Chinese literary theory,and the fourth is from aesthetics.Although there are certain crossovers and combinations,the boundaries are quite clear.No matter which path is used,there is an advantage of its own,but the study from the aesthetics into the literary theory must be good at speculative analysis with a mastery of comparative judgment and a comprehensive summary.Starting from the standard of"returning to China and promoting China’s academics",we must draw on and absorb,at the same time with a reflection on and a criticizing to Western literary theories,and promote the integration and complementarity of Chinese and foreign literary theories,so as to promote the long-term progress of literary theory.For a period of time at current and future,it may become an important and even a major growth point in literary theory.
