摘要/Abstract

内容摘要： 理论的经典化问题始终无法逃脱本质主义与建构主义的争论,而在不同经典理论合法化的个案中寻求其诞生的规则,看似是搁置争议的有效办法之一。诺斯罗普·弗莱的代表作《批评的剖析》作为西方文论的经典著作,自1950年代开始受到不同国家学者的热议和追捧,相关研究重心随着西方理论思想的变迁,几经沉浮。弗莱思想的经典化路径主要从走入经典和“去经典化”两方面语境中得以重现,同时能够展现其思想在西方的兴衰以及这种转变的内在逻辑和时代内涵。此外,在理论爆炸过后的当今西方文论界,弗莱思想中的人文主义倾向是其保持读者群延续和经典地位的重要原因,同时也很好地阐释了经典理论在不同历史维度下绽放经典性的辩证法则。

关键词: 经典化, 去经典化, 经典性, 诺斯罗普·弗莱, 人文主义

Abstract: The controversy of theoretical canonization is essentially a dispute between essentialism and constructivism. Nevertheless, one effective way to suspend the dispute is to search for specific principlesof belief in individual cases. As one of the most important works in Western theoretical cannon, Northrop Frye’s The Anatomy of Criticism was hotly debated among scholars ever sincethe 1950s. The focus of the discussion shifts with the development of Western literary theory. The process of Frye’s canonization can be categorized in two stages of “canonization” and “decanonization,” which, corresponding to the rise and decline of his theory’s reception,is indicative of the change of the logicof Western critical thought. In the time of “after theory,” the humanistic inclination in Frye’s theory maintains its readership andensures its canonical position in the culturalinstitution.

Key words: canonization, decanonization, canonicity, Northrop Frye, humanism
