互文性与文学经典

互文性理论注重把经典置于一个广阔的文化坐标体系中予以观照：从横向上看，它将一个经典文本与其他文化文本、潜文本进行对比研究，让经典文本在与其他非经典文本的对话和移位中显露出它的平民特性；从纵向上看，它打破传统文学研究中对影响、渊源和承继的探讨，否认经典的崇高地位，从而获得对文学史和文化传统的全新认识。用“互文性”来描述经典文本间涉的问题，不仅显示出了经典文本内部多元文化、多种话语相互交织的事实，而且也呈示出了经典的深广性及其丰富而又复杂的文化内蕴和社会历史内涵，但是也有抹煞经典文本此时此地的独一无二性和原创性之弊。

On the Theory of Intertextuality and the Literary Classics

The theory of Intertextuality puts the classics on the broad cultural context： From the horizontal view, it compares the classical text with other cultural text, hence reveals the common features of the classics; From the historic view, it rules out the discussion of influence and origin in the traditional literary studies and obtains the overall knowledge of the literary history and cultural tradition. With the theory of Intertextuality, the intertwined facts of the multi - culture and multi - discourse in the classics can be illustrated and the cultural implication and connotation of society and history can be displayed. But the theory of Intertextuality may ignore the uniqueness and originality of the classics.
