儿童文学的“反理论”价值——以探讨成人文论概念在儿童文学研究中的适用性为中心

On the“Anti-Theoretical”Value of Children’s Literature

不少西方文论中使用广泛的概念,在解释儿童文学时都显得捉襟见肘。如将结构主义、形式主义、接受美学、女性批评等理论中有代表性的概念置于儿童文学的视野下考察,便可明晰此点。故而,全面认识儿童文学的特殊性,填补儿童文学身后的理论盲区,具有非常重要的意义。作为“反理论”的儿童文论不仅将促进儿童文学研究的发展,还可能为当代文论提供全新的对照点和参照系,从建构主义的角度拓宽文学理论的视野。

Many concepts which are widely-used in Western literary theories seem to be stretched thin to explain children’s literature.This can be clarified if the representative concepts in theories such as structuralism,formalism,reception aesthetics,and feminine criticism are examined under the perspective of children’s literature.Therefore,it is of great significance to fully understand the particularity of children’s literature and to fill the theoretical blind spots behind children’s literature.As an“anti-theory”,children’s literary theory will not only promote the development of children’s literature research,but may also provide a new perspective for contemporary literary theory.
