浅析新时期文论的转向

中国新时期文论有两次比较重要的转向,第一次是20世纪80年代初期,从极左时期浓厚的政治附庸性转向对文学形式美的诉求;第二次是在90年代初期,泛文学观念产生,走向"大众文化"时代.两次转向都有深刻的政治、经济、社会与文化方面的原因.认为,面对大众文化的全面兴盛,审美意识形态理论失去了理论表述力,恢复政治意识形态批评的合法性将是文学的一个必然策略.

On the Turning of Chinese Literary Theories of the New Periods

There are two important turnings for Chinese literary theories of the new periods: one is from the deep political dependency of the "Left" periods to the pursuit of literary formalism in the early 1980s, the other is the times of "Popular Culture" in the early 1990s. Both have deep political, economic, social and cultural reasons. Accordingly, this paper claims that with the flourishing of the popular culture, the theories of aesthetic ideology have lost their theoretical expressive force and it is thus of necessity to resume political ideological criticism in literature.
