从“现代化”到“现代性” :二十世纪中国 文学研究思路的转型

文章认为,中国现代文学研究的话语范型在二十世纪八、九十年代发生了重大转型,即由八十年代的以启蒙主义作为价值准则的"现代化"到九十年代对"现代性"进行全面反思的"文学现代性"。这一转型意味着我们对现代文学的认识和价值评判更趋多元化,有助于我们从更为广阔的视野中去揭示现代文学中一度"被压抑的现代性",但同时我们也要警惕"现代性"话语的遮蔽性,讨论中国现代文学的"现代性"一定要考虑到它发生的特殊语境、历史进程的具体性和文学文本所呈现的复杂、多样甚至悖论性的"现代性"内涵。

From Modernization to Modernity :Transition of Modern Chinese Literature Studies in the 20th Century

The authors maintain that the 1980s and 90s have witnessed a significant transition of the discourse paradigm of modern Chinese literature studies. Modernization, having Enlightenment as its value standard in 1980s, gives the way to modernity in 1990s, which devotes itself to the comprehensive speculation upon the modernity of literature. Such a transition indicates that our acknowledgement of modern Chinese literature and value judgment tends to be more pluralistic, and is very helpful for us to reveal the once "being suppressed modernity" of modern Chinese literature in more broad a field. However, we should also pay close attention to the discourse ambiguity of modernity. To discuss the modernity of modern Chinese literature, we must keep in mind the special context of its occurrence, the specificity of historical progress and the complexity, plurality, and even paradoxicality contained in literary text proper as the connotation of modernity.
