欧美汉学视域下中国现当代文学的“文学性”——夏志清、顾彬比较论

The Literary Character of Modern and Contemporary Chinese Literature from the Perspective of Sinology—The Comparison of Xia Zhiqing and Gu Bin

欧美汉学对中国现当代文学史的研究和叙事,打破了20世纪五六十年代以来中国现当代文学史研究中“政治/文学”的二元模式,为国内学者中国现当代文学史的研究和写作提供了新的启发和思路。其中夏志清和顾彬对中国现当代文学史的书写最具代表性,并因两位学者不同的研究视角,延伸出两种不同的研究路径。夏志清服膺“新批评”方法,突出“文学性”这一要素,尽量消解政治对文学研究的影响;而顾彬则把政治当作文学史研究和书写的重要构成因素,强调文学和政治之间的相互关系,政治话语的加入使顾彬对中国当代文学史的叙述更有“史”的意味。

The study of modern and contemporary Chinese literature history in western Sinology has broken the dual model of politics and literature in the study of modern and contemporary Chinese literature history since the 1950s and 1960s,and provided new inspiration and ideas for domestic scholars.Among them,Xia Zhiqing and Gu Bin's writing of modern and contemporary Chinese literature history is representative.Because of different research perspectives,they present different research characteristics.Xia Zhiqing has adhered to the new criticism method,highlighted the element of literature,and tried to eliminate the influence of politics,while Gu Bin taken politics as the main factor.Gu Bin emphasized the mutual relationship between literature and politics,and the addition of political discourse made Gu Bin's narration of the history of contemporary Chinese literature more historical.
