批判诗学:开端、意图与方法——赵勇教授访谈录

Critical Poetics:Origins,Intentions,and Methods——Interview with Professor Zhao Yong

批判诗学的早期开端也许可以追溯到《介入偏离与阅读倾斜》,因为此文隐含着20世纪80年代的某种问题意识。而所谓介入,自然是来自于萨特。在“后理论”时代,当越来越多的作家、学者具有了某种“后知识分子”的特征时,把萨特的介入拿过来就更具有某种现实意义。至于批判诗学形成的原因,其一是现实层面,其二在学理层面。前者意味着要直面中国当下文学批评和文化批评的现状,进而尽可能解决其批判精神不断流失的问题。后者则涉及文化诗学,是对童庆炳先生文艺理论思想的批判性继承。受阿多诺、伽达默尔和巴赫金等人的理论启发,可以把“亦此亦彼”“二律背反”“间性思维”等看成是批判诗学的方法或路径。而既要向阿多诺学习,又要向萨特取经;既要有理论深度,又要能通俗易懂,大概是批判诗学的批评实践的基本构想和努力目标。

The early beginning of critical poetics may be traced back to Commitment Deviation and Reading Inclination which implies a certain problem awareness in the 1980s.The so-called commitment naturally came from Jean-Paul Sartre.In the era of “post-theory”,when more and more writers and scholars have some characteristics of “post-intellectuals”,taking Sartre's commitment has more practical significance.As for the reasons for the formation of critical poetics,one is at the level of reality,and the other is theory.The former means facing the current situation of Chinese literary criticism and cultural criticism directly,and then trying to solve the problem of the continuous loss of its critical spirit as much as possible.The latter involves cultural poetics,which is a critical inheritance of Mr.Tong Qingbing's literary theory.Inspired by the theories of T.W.Adorno,Hans-Georg Gadamer and Mikhail Bakhtin,etc.,we can regard “both A and B”,“antinomies” and “intermediate thinking” as methods or paths of critical poetics.It is probably the basic conception and goal of the critical practice of critical poetics to learn from Adorno and Sartre,and to have both theoretical depth and easy to understand.
