摘要/Abstract

内容摘要： “何谓文学”和“何谓阐释”是位于文学研究核心的两个基本问题,各种文学理论的旨归均试图回答上述问题。由于文学自身的变化以及批评视角的转移总是与某一历史时段的社会文化语境相关,因此,社会文化中的各种“事件”往往成为文学理论生产和文学批评实践的重要结点。将文学批评置于“事件”的视阈中加以透视,可以打破孤立看待批评理论现象的范式,揭示批评实践与历史时段中诸种事件之间的有机联系,尤其是体察“事件”如何与文学批评互为结构,并由此推进并引导文学批评的走向。在西方批评理论的本土化实践过程中,“事件”同样有助于建立文学阅读和文学阐释与社会文化之间的生产性关联。

关键词: 事件, 文学, 文学批评, 批评范式, 理论生产

Abstract: Two fundamental issues lie at the core of literary studies: “What is literature?” and “What is interpretation?” All literary theories aim to answer these questions in one way or another. Since the changes in literature as such and the shifts in critical perspectives are always related to the socio-cultural context of a particular historical period, events of various kinds become essential in the production of literary theory and literary criticism. In this light, revisiting literary criticism in light of “event” enables one to avoid viewing it as an isolated phenomenon but to observe its relationship with particular happenings in history, especially with regards to how “event” promotes and guides literary criticism. In the localization of Western critical theories in China, sufficient consideration of “event” also enlightens our understanding of literary reading and literary interpretation as produced against the particular social and cultural context.

Key words: event, literature, literary criticism, critical paradigms, production of literary theory
