阅读理论与当代批评

在经过了早期的作者中心批评与近代作品/文本批评的此起彼伏后,当代文论又经历了接受/反应批评的崛起与衰落,从而使文学批评思想完成了一个大轮回。但这并不意味着一种简单的历史循环,而表明了文学作品的意义的超越性,也对作为一种实践诗学的文学批评提出了"综合"要求。因而对作为一种现代批评学说的阅读理论进行认真总结,有助于更好地推动当代批评实践,进一步完善批评理论建设。

Reading Theory and Contemporary Criticism

Literary theory and criticism has seen the rise and fall of the reader|response/reception theory after going through the transition from the early author|centered approach to the modern textual criticism. However, we simply cannot consider this process as a mere historical cycle, but a reflection of the transcendent significance of literary works. It calls for a synthesis with the view of literary criticism as practical poetics. Therefore, studies of using reading theory as an approach for contemporary criticism can help us to enhance our critical practice and perfect the critical theory.
