皮尔斯符号学视野下的文学经典阐释问题再探

Re-exploration of the Interpretation of Literary Classics from the Perspective of Pierce’s Art Semiotics

文学经典的当代阐释还需要面对经典是怎样形成的和经典本质的追问,从艺术符号学的视角探讨文学经典的建构和阐释问题,用皮尔斯的符号学三元结构,分别从符号、对象、解释项三个角度探究文学之所以能成为经典的符号学解释。文学是一种复杂的、跨度很大的符号形态,文学符号的指号过程是一个动态的结果。文学作品能成为经典是因为文学符号指称的对象迎合了政治意识形态和文化权利等外部因素的要求。同时,文学符号意指的解释项不断更新,使意指过程无限持续,从而产生辽阔的阐释空间,具有恒久的艺术生命力。

Contemporary interpretation of literary classics also needs to explore the formation and the essence of classics.This paper discusses the construction and interpretation of literary classics from the perspective of artistic semiotics.It uses ternary structure of Pierce’s semiotic to explore the reason why literature can become classics from three perspectives:representamen,object and interpretant.Literature is a complex and long-span symbolic form,and the process is a dynamic result.The reason why a text can become a classic is that the object of literary representamen caters for the requests of the external factors needed for the construction of classics.Meanwhile,the interpretant of literary representamen updates constantly to make the process of interpretation continue,and then creates an extensive space of interpretation,and thus the literature has the eternal artistic vitality.
