论“五四”前后关于文学阐释方式的几种尝试

Attemps of the Methods of Literary Interpretation Before and After May Fourth

五四运动已经过去一个世纪了,但"中与西""古与今""传统与现代"的关系还是当下社会人文领域最基本的言说语境。当今中国文学理论界普遍思考的问题是:在所谓"后理论时代",文学理论还有存在的意义吗?它应该向何处去?在各种答案之中,走向阐释、建构中国当代文学阐释学不失为一条可行之路。文学阐释学是关于文学意义的理解方式、审视视角的理论反思,具体关涉文学文本的存在方式、演变历史、功能等具体维度。对于文学阐释学的这些具体维度,"五四"前后的一代学人曾经有过诸多思考,对我们今天建构当代文学阐释学有着重要启发意义。

It has been a century since the May Fourth Movement. However, it remains the major topic in the fields of social sciences as of the correlation between "China and the West","the past and the present","the traditional and the modern". What forms the key concern of the field of literary theory in China is: Is it necessary to exist for the literary theory in this era of "post-theory"? Where is its destination? Among all the answers, the way to hermeneutics and to establish modern hermeneutics of China could be a feasible way. Fundamentally, hermeneutics is a theoretic retrospection on the way and angle of understanding of the significance of literature, which is closely related to concrete dimensions such as the way of existence, the history of evolution and functions of literary texts. For those concrete dimensions above, the intellectuals of the era of May Fourth have made series of discussions, which are still enlightening and illuminating for the establishment of modern literary hermeneutics.
