摘要/Abstract

内容摘要： 20世纪初,英美文学发展处在一个急剧变化的历史转型时期,数以百计的先锋文学“小刊物”应运而生。这些“小刊物”在英美文学现代性展开中发挥了至关重要的作用,成为这个时期文学变迁境况的晴雨表。1912年创刊于芝加哥的《诗刊》,作为英美现代主义诗歌的前沿阵地,在“小刊物”中最具代表性。但是,作为“小刊物”的《诗刊》只是少数文学精英经营的高雅艺术场所,如何在商业大地化的世界里获得一席安身立命之地?如何既保持独立的审美品格又融入以交换为核心价值观的现代世界?《诗刊》草创期的办刊历史展示出20世纪初英美诗歌发展的艰难步履：在美学追求和市场经济之间艰难寻求生存空间。这实际上深刻地体现了现代性的矛盾性：审美现代性与社会现代性之间既相互对立又互为依存的复杂关系。

关键词: 《诗刊》, 美学追求, 商品市场, 博弈, 协调

Abstract: In the early twentieth-century, Anglo-American literature came to a transitional period and experienced a drastic change. Numerous “little magazines” emerged and as the barometer of literary development, they played a key role in revolutionizing Anglo-American literature. Poetry, founded in 1912 and as the forefront of modernist poetry, is undoubtedly the most representative “little magazine”. But as a magazine for the elite, how can it survive the commercial society? Or how can it keep its aesthetic pursuit and survive in the modern world which takes exchange as the core value? The initial stage of Poetry reveals vividly the dilemma of Anglo-American poetry in the early 20th century: seeking a narrow position in the contradiction of aesthetic pursuit and commercial market. The process actually reveals the ambivalence of modernity: the conflict and compromise of aesthetic modernity and social modernity.

Key words: Poetry, aesthetic pursuit, commercial market, conflict, compromise
