论三部海外中国文学史中的鲁迅与历史涤濯现象

On Lu Xun and Historical Cleansing in Three Overseas Works of Chinese Literature

“历史涤濯”现象即学人追寻探求过往世界规律、特征时对其他信息作出的选择性过滤与遮蔽。《哥伦比亚中国文学史》《剑桥中国文学史》和《哈佛新编中国现代文学史》特点鲜明、创新卓著,由于著作背后时间观与定位的不同,三部文学史中的鲁迅各有差异,但在“现代”语境中同时出现了对鲁迅“传统性”的关注失位。认识“历史涤濯”现象可以更好地理解文学史、理性以及选择本身的有限性,理论、规律、特征都是认识世界,把握世界的途径,而非真理或历史原真本身。

The phenomenon of"historical cleansing"is the selective filtering and obscuring of other information by scholars in their search for the laws and characteristics of the past world.The Columbia History of Chinese Literature,the Cambridge History of Chinese Literature and A New Literary History of Modern China compiled by Harvard are distinctive and innovative.Due to the different view of time and positioning behind the works,Lu Xun in the three works is different from each other,but there is a loss of attention to Lu Xun's"traditionality"in the"modern"context.Understanding the phenomenon of"historical cleansing"will help us better understand the limited nature of the literary history,rationality and choice itself.Theories,laws and characteristics are all ways for us to understand the world,not the truth or historical truth itself.
