中国现代作家论两种类型辨析

Analysis of Two Types of Author Theory in Relation to Modern Chinese Writers

中国现代作家论在研究路径上大致可以分成两种类型:一是审美感觉评价型,一是社会历史分析型。两种类型各有特点,前者更重视作家的艺术风格,后者更重视作家的思想倾向。由于中国独特的语境,审美感觉评价型后来逐渐式微,但社会历史分析型也出现了一些问题。两种类型的作家论,都有鲁迅所批评的不“顾及全篇”和不“顾及全人”的情况,而以科学性标准来衡量,都有值得改进的地方。

In terms of research approach,two types of author theory have been applied to modern Chinese writers:one evaluates the aesthetic sense,the other conducts socio-historical analysis.Each has its own characteristics:the former pays more attention to artistic style,while the latter focuses on the writer’s intellectual bent.In the unique Chinese context,the former has gradually fallen out of fashion,but the latter,too,has encountered difficulties.Both evince Lu Xun’s criticism of failure to“take into account the work as a whole”and to“consider the writer as a whole.”In terms of scientific standards,they all leave room for improvement.
