从现代到后现代:当代修辞学理论辨析

From Modern to the Postmodern: A Differentiate and Analyse of Contemporary Rhetoric Theories

修辞学的当代复兴 ,与人们对语言、知识以及二者关系的重新思考分不开。现代修辞学重视从双向交流和整体文化建构角度 ,从哲学、文化学、社会学、人类学等不同学科方向上综合描述和阐释修辞现象 ,强调修辞的普遍性 ,复义性 ,交流性和认知性。后现代修辞理论则强调修辞作为“无中心”的“播撒”,是无法组合成有序结构的自相矛盾的表意手段 ,认为修辞作为能指的互设 ,具有“形式游戏”和“自我解构”的“转义”功能。现代修辞学与后现代修辞理论呈现出来的不同理论特色 ,表明了当今时代人类文化在走向全球化的同时 ,更强调多元化、多层化和非中心化的发展趋向。

The revival of contemporary rhetoric is caused by people's rethink of language and knowledge along with their relationship. The new rhetoric attach importance to describe the rhetoric phenomenon from a double intercommunicability and the point of view of the whole culture construction, and expatiate it in the direction of diffirent subjects as philosophy, culturology, sociology, anthropology etc. Different from the former, the postmodern rhetoric theories emphasize the rhetoric, as a 'scatter' without a centre, it's a self-catradicted and an expressive device which can never compose an ordinal construction. Modern rhetoric and postmodern rhetoric theories have argued for the rhetoric phenomenon and theory, which indicates, nowadays while being more globality, human culture follows a developing trend emphasized on diversification.
