观念的探险——论中国文艺学的理论创新

当代中国文艺学由于滞后于西方文艺理论而出现了以西方理论的引进,介绍代替创新的倾向,或要求回到传统文论来抵制西方文论的侵入,其症结在于一种“时差”的焦虑;提倡中西会通也无法解决创新问题,因为这只能在区分同异的基础上进行理论整合;发现问题,提出问题能力的缺失是理论缺乏创新的根本原因,有必要从偏重描述,阐释的理论走向范导性的“以言行事”的理论,即从先验的角度进行理论建构,为文艺“立法”,创造出新的文艺学体系。

Ldeological Adventure--about the theory innovation in the study of literature of China

The fact that the contemporary study of literature in China lags behind the West is characterized by the tendency of introducing the western theories into China rather that doing innovation within its own,or by returning to traditional Chinese theories as a resistance to the intrusion of the Western theories.The problem lies in an anxiety over "equation of time".Innovation is by no means realized through merging China and the West because such a merging is no other than a theoretical integration based on ascertainment of the differences and similarities between the two.The root cause for the devoid of theory innovation is the disability of identifying and solving the problems.What is necessary is a conversion from interpretation and depiction oriented theory to normalized guidance one"doing things with words",a transcendental theory construction,a kind of "law making"for the study of literature--forming a brand new system of the study of literature.
