当代“理论”视域下“文学”概念的嬗变

The Transmutation of the Concept of"Literature"from the Perspective of Contemporary Theory

当文学理论走向“理论”甚至“后理论”之后,“文学”的概念也随之从“知识”走向“物”、从“文本”走向“话语”、从一元走向多元、从对象走向“事件”。究竟是“理论”话语引起文学概念的转变,还是文学概念的嬗变促使“理论”话语的生成,尚有待研究。不过当代文学理论研究中的诸多问题或多或少都与文学概念的变迁有关,这就有必要对“文学”的概念进行重新梳理与厘定,进而从根本上弄清楚理论界诸多问题的症结所在。

When literary theory moves toward"theory"or even"post-theory",the concept of"literature"also moves from"knowledge"to"thing",from"text"to"discourse",from unary to pluralistic,from object to"event".Whether the discourse of"theory"causes the transformation of literary concept or the transmutation of literary concept promotes the generation of"theoretical"discourse remains to be studied.However,many problems in the study of contemporary literary theory are more or less related to the change of literary concept,which makes it necessary to reorganize and clarify the concept of"literature",and then fundamentally clarify the crux of many problems in the theoretical field.
