认识、游戏与想象——对文学功利性问题的思考

萨特的存在主义文学观念,把文学理解为一种在非现实的水平上向他人揭示世界的活动,因此,在承认文学艺术与社会生活的密切相关性的同时,说明了它相对的独立性和自律性,确定了它与其他人类行为的区别性特征.在此基础上,对文艺活动的社会角色的认定也就与西方文学理论传统区别开了,在后者那里,文学艺术主要在某种边缘性的、次生的意义上得到规定,即它总是作为科学认识行为和政治社会实践(这两种人的生存实践中更加直观的力量)的附庸被人们把握,它是某种不完善的知识或者只是游戏.

Recognization, Game and Imagination--Thought on Literary Utility Problems

In Sartre's viewpoint, literature is a kind of action discovering the truth of world to others in irreal way. It regards literature related closly with social life, and differs itself from human being's other actions at the same time. Based on this, Sartre's idea about the social role in literature activities is different from theoretical traditions of western literature. In the later, literature is mainly prescribed as the appendage of science knowledge and social practice, it's a kind of unperfect knowledge or just a game.
