越位之思:中国现当代文学原典问题刍议

A Bold and Special Thought:On the Original Canons of Modern Chinese Literature

将“原典”与中国现当代文学拉在一起,是个大胆而越位的想法。由于种种原因,中国现当代文学的研究者对原典问题缺少基本共识。然而,中国现当代文学学科在原典问题上的缺乏自信乃至茫然失措,恰恰折射了该学科内部重新思考、确立原典的必要性。文章认为,确定中国现当代文学原典,将有助于解决学科内部学术再生产问题,克服学科自身的“非文学化”危机,重新确立现当代文学与现代文化的合法性。注意现当代文学与时代同步的特征,开放讨论、允许质疑,则是确定原典的基本原则。

It is a bold and special idea to pull the″original canon″together with Chinese modern literature.For various reasons,Chinese modern literature lacks a basic consensus on the issues of the original canon for a long time.However,this just reflects the necessity of rethinking within the disciplines and establishing the original canons.Defining the original canons will help to solve the problem of academic reproduction,overcome the crisis of″in-literalization″of the discipline itself,and re-establish the legitimacy of modern literature and modern culture.Stress on the characteristics of contemporary literature synchronized with the times,open discussion and questioning are the basic principles for determining the original works.
