新历史主义文艺思潮的价值取向和社会效应

新历史主义文艺思潮作为各种形式主义和传统历史主义的挑战者崛起于新时期文坛,显示出文学批评和创作向历史文化深层拓展的强劲势头.然而,从理论与实践的结合层面全面审视,它尚未摆脱文学回归历史与沉沦历史、颠覆大写历史与陷入小写历史相对主义、强调历史的心理情感性与走向历史不可知论、迷恋边缘意识形态与迷失于意识形态边缘之间的悖论性处境,这些困境的克服当是它在理论和实践上的当务之急.

Value orientation and social effect of New Historicism trend of thought in literature and art

New historicism,as a trend of thought in literature and art,rose abruptly on the horizon of Chinese literature in late 1980s,challenging all kinds of formalism and traditional historicism.As a powerful trend,it digs into the deep layers of history and culture to pursuit the essence of literature. However,if examined comprehensively, it hasn't got rid of the following paradoxical plight--returns to history and degreation of history; subversion of the History and falls into the relativism of history;emphasis of the psychological and emotional contents of history and heading for historical agnosticism;desperately clinging to the marginal ideology and then getting lost in it.At present,it is a pressing task for the new historicism to extricate itself from the dilemma.
