走出“主观性”的迷雾——论对文学史的原生态把握与追求

Out of the Haze of "Subjectivity"——Understanding and Pursuing Literary Prototype

真实的文学史依赖文学史家们对文学史存留物的理解来复现 ,所以 ,文学史便获得了第二重存在 ,即文学史实践。后人对文学史的种种诠释与复现的努力 ,必然表达着文学史家们的种种理解 ,在这种种“理解”之中 ,便形成了对文学史的“主观性”追求与原生态把握之间的矛盾。在我国新时期的文学史实践中所出现的对主观性过分张扬的倾向必然会丧失文学史的“史”的特性 ,同时也丧失文学史的“文学”性 ,从而陷入“主观性”的泥淖。如何走出“主观性”的迷雾 ,我认为关键是应坚持对文学史原生态的把握与追求。因为文学史实践既是一门科学 ,也是一种史学。

True literary history rests on the literary historians' interpretation of literary remnants. Different interpretation and reproduction of the literary history by later generations definitely expresses the literary historians' different understandings. This process gives rise to the contradiction between the pursuit of literary subjectivity and the understanding of literary prototype. The tendency to overstress subjectivity in China's new-age literary practice will inevitably destroy both the 'history' value and 'literature' character of literary history. To get out of the haze of subjectivity,we must insist on the understanding and pursuit of literary prototype.
