逼近与还原——人文价值标准的确立与文学史重构

Approximation and Restoration in Establishment of Humanistic Value Standard and Reconstruction of Literary History

人性是文学表现的核心,自然性和社会性是构成人性的两大支柱,社会性压倒自然性是整个20世纪中国文学的总体特征,这是由特定历史环境决定的。人性理论也是文学批评的终极依据,尤其在文学史重构中更显重要,它将引起价值观念的根本性转换,这种转换造成的文学史模式的变动主要集中在3个方面:作品的重新定位,作家的重新审视,作品意蕴的更多发现。

The spotlight of literature has always fallen on human nature, which can be classified into two broad dimensions: natural and social. The 20th century Chinese literature, however, collectively manifests a feature of being overwhelmingly focused on the social dimension of human nature much due to its historical context. Meanwhile, the theories on human nature also make up the ultimate basis for literary criticism. They play an even greater role in the efforts of the academia to reconstruct literary history, for they will bring about radical changes in value standard, which in turn will lead to changes in the model of literary history as witnessed in three aspects, namely the repositioning of literary works, reassessment of writers and further exploration of implications in literary works.
