文学史的文学性与大学教育——对以作家作品为中心的中国现当代文学史及其教学的思考

Literariness of Literary History and University Education:Teaching Chinese Contemporary Literature History with the Focus on Writers and their Works

中国现当代文学史及其教学实践,长期以来存在着重视史学性而忽视文学性的倾向,对文学史的各种问题和现象,更注重历史性研究,将文学完全历史化,对文学性的超越性重视不够。而以作家作品为中心的文学史教学,则对文学性更加重视,这有利于无个性的功利主义心态和学生健康人格的培养,有利于教师以自己的个性积极参与现当代文学经典化过程。

History over literature is the long established practice in teaching the course of Chinese Contemporary Literature History.Issues and phenomena in literary history are heavily studied for their historical significance while their transcending literariness is largely overlooked.Shifting the teaching focus to writers and their works will give the rightful spotlight to the literary value,which is more important in students' healthy growth of personality,and which will create a better chance for the teacher to participate in the canonization of contemporary literature with his own interpretation.
