中国现代悲剧观的生成与国族话语重构——一个概念翻译史视角

The Formation of Modern Tragic Views in China and the Reconstruction of National Discourse:A Perspective from the History of Concept Translation

“悲剧”一词在现代中国社会文化语境中的译介远远超出了单一的文学层面,其被新知识群体广泛应用于多维度的思想观念碰撞与争斗的场域。这一概念的发展流变亦成为一个涵盖不同知识领域的多重话语实践,不仅使中国文学参与到世界文学现代化进程中,也立体式呈现了现代中国在社会转型期所面临的多重困境与寻求出路的尝试。将“悲剧”概念从被动西化转向自觉本土化这一通变历程置于概念翻译史的研究视野之下,可在概念翻译的历史性中理解中国文学与文化的现代性,进而发掘“悲剧”这一外来概念如何经历诸种“误读”与“变异”才最终完全融入中国本土语境,成为现代中国文化重塑与民族认同重建的重要精神力量。

The introduction of the term"tragedy"in the context of modern Chinese society and culture far exceeds its literary aspect and is widely used by new knowledge groups in the multidimensional arena of ideological collisions and struggles.The development and evolution of this concept have become a multi-dimensional discursive practice covering different fields of knowledge,not only involving Chinese literature in the process of world literary modernization,but also presenting the multiple dilemmas faced by modern China during its social transformation and its attempts to find a way out in a three-dimensional manner.Placing the transformation process of the concept of"tragedy"from passive Westernization to conscious localization within the research perspective of the history of conceptual translation can help understand the modernity of Chinese literature and culture within the historical context of conceptual translation.It also helps explore how the concept of"tragedy",as a foreign concept,undergoes various"misinterpretations"and"mutations"before it is fully integrated into the Chinese context,becoming an important spiritual force in the reshaping of modern Chinese culture and the reconstruction of national identity.
