中国儿童文学研究的三种方法

Three Approaches to the Study of Chinese Children’s Literature

目前,中国儿童文学研究虽取得很大成绩,但仍存在不少问题,需要在研究方法上有所改进,以获得更大的发展动能。有些涉及事实描述的研究,因走马观花、浅尝辄止甚至望文生义,导致学术失误,对此应提倡对研究对象作“凝视”性研究,以保证研究的真实性和准确性。针对另一些研究的理论性、思辨性较为贫弱的情况,当提倡“谛视”性研究,强调透过现象和经验洞察研究对象的精义与本质,以获得创造性阐释。“审视”性研究重视学术对话和辩论,提倡反思意识和批判精神。这三种研究方法有助于突破儿童文学研究中的局限,实现方法论的创新。

At present,the study of Chinese children’s literature has made great achievements,but there are still many problems that need to be solved in research methods.Some of the studies involving factual descriptions have led to errors due to superficiality and even misunderstanding.Therefore,we should advocate the method of“gazing”the research object to ensure the authenticity and accuracy of the study.In response to the theoretical and intellectual weaknesses of other studies,we should advocate the“scrutinizing”approach,which emphasizes the insight into the essence and meaning of the research object.The“inspection”method emphasizes academic dialogue and debate,and promotes reflective consciousness and critical spirit.
