文学经典的阐释与美国精神的建构——哈罗德·布鲁姆“文学经典”理论解析

哈罗德·布鲁姆以一种"对抗性的批评"来坚定守护西方文学与审美传统,通过文学经典的阐释和对审美价值的强调来坚守美国传统文化价值观,以矫枉过正的理论态势来匡正现实文化生态,建构美国的时代文化精神。这是深入理解布鲁姆美学思想的重要路径,并且,无论其丰富的思想和启示意义还是其作为人文学者的历史使命感,都值得研究镜鉴。

The Interpretation of Literary Canon and the Construction of American Spirit——an Analysis on the Theory of Literary Canon by Harold Bloom

Harold Bloom firmly safeguards the Western literary and aesthetic tradition through antithetical criticism,safeguards the views on the values of American traditional culture through the interpretation of literary canon and the emphasis of aesthetic values,and tries to correct the chaos in the realistic cultural ecology through overcorrecting theories,so as to construct the American cultural spirit of the times.This is an important way for us to have a deeper understanding of Harold Bloom’s aesthetic thinking,which is worth studying when we talk about its rich thought and enlightening significance,and about his sense of historic mission as a scholar of humanities.
