作者研究的理论阐释与方法指南——评析刁克利的《作者》

The Research on the Author:A Theoretical Interpretation and Methodological Guide——A Review on Diao Keli’s The Author

作者在文学世界中的地位不言自明,作者研究有必要成为文学研究的核心话题之一。刁克利的《作者》一书,不仅溯源了作者在西方文学进程中从中心到边缘到消解及其后续被重构的过程,而且还以巴尔特的《作者之死》和福柯的《作者是什么》两篇经典文论为案例,回应了学界对作者之死与作者再生的争论。最后还对当前作者研究困境进行突围,并提出了作者生态研究等批评理论及作者研究的最新趋势。作为国内学者专论西方作者研究的著作,《作者》扎实系统的研究脉络和富有洞见的讨论,有望进一步推动国内学界关于作者研究和文学研究的纵深向度。

The author’s status in the literary history is self-evident,and the research on the author should become one of the core topics on literature.Not only does The Author of Diao Keli trace the stages from the establishment of the author’s central position,then the author’s movement to the edge of literary world,until the tendency to the author’s weakening,and to the author’s deconstruction and subsequent reconstruction in western literature,but also takes Roland Barthes“The Death of the Author”and Michel Foucault’s“What is an Author?”as examples to respond to the academics’debate on the author’s death and then the author’s rebirth.Diao breaks through the existingstudy on the author and proposes ecological theory of author and the trend of the author’s research in the future creatively.The Author with the solid and systematic discussion has represented the highest level of western author research in China so far,which is expected to further promote the depth of the research on the author and western literature in domestic academic circles.
