从地方文学、区域文学到地方路径——对“地方路径”研究若干质疑的回应

From Local Literature,Regional Literature to Local Path——Response to Some Issues about the Study of“Local Path”

现代中国文学“地方路径”研究的提出可以置放在从地方文学、区域文学以及文学地理学的发展线索中来加以认识。这是一个全新的命题,“地方路径”的提出意味着我们将有意识地超越“地域文学”或者“地方文学”的方式,实现我们联结民族、沟通人类的文学理想。“地方路径”的提出是对文学与文化研究之“空间意识”的深化,也是对域外中国学研究动向的一种有益回应。中国学者对“地方路径”问题的发现在根本上还是一种自我发现或者说自我认知深化的结果,是创立中国学术主体性的积极体现。

The research on the"local path" of modern Chinese literature can be understood from the development of local literature,regional literature,and literary geography.This is a new proposition.The proposal of the local path means that we will consciously transcend the"regional literature"or"local literature"approach to realize our literary ideal of connecting nations and mankind.The proposal of the"local path"is a deepening of the"spatial awareness"of literature and cultural studies,and it is also a useful response to the trend of foreign Chinese studies.Chinese scholars’discovery of the issue of"local path"is fundamentally the result of self-discovery or deepening of self-cognition,and it is a positive manifestation of the establishment of China s’academic subjectivity.
