四川大学文学理论期末考试复习资料

文学是属于社会意识形态的一门特殊的艺术,它运用语言媒介对人类的社会生活进行评价性的审美反映。 理论的任务:①从现象中概况出普遍性问题→解释现象;②实现价值构建。 艾泽拉姆斯的四个视点理论:文学与世界、文学与作家、文学与作品、文学与读者 : 再现论 1、含义:文学本质是人类对于外在自然和社会生活的模仿和再现。 2、发展:①古希腊罗马时期:摹仿说(德谟克利特、亚里士多德、赫拉克利特);②文艺复兴时期:镜子说(达芬奇);③19世纪:再现论(别林斯基);④20世纪:反映论(毛泽东)。 , 表现论 1、含义:文学本质是主体内在性的一种表现。*主体内在性:包括思想、心灵、情感、想象、灵感、趣味、人格等非常复杂而具有个体性的东西,既具有有条理的理性思想,更具有朦胧的无意识的因素。 2、表现论的优点与缺点:A优点:一是把握到了文艺的主体性、自由性、创造性、虚构性特征。二是把握到了文学的情感性特征。三是能够认识文学的个体性,文学是主观的表现,不同的文学作品是不同人的心灵的外化。B缺陷:它忽视了文学与外在世界的关系,忽视了文学语言的审美特性。而且,它是一种基于主体性哲学视野下的一种文学本质的认识。它容易走向极端,把表现束缚在个人狭隘的主观空间,成为一种狭隘的情感的宣泄,倘若如此,这样的文学就不再是感人的文学,也不是美的文学。 文本性理论 ` 1、文学文本:指语言形态的实体。 2、形式客体论:它是在对抗文学是社会反映观念基础上出现的,主要以俄国形式主义、语义学和新批评、法国结构主义为代表。 3、意向客体论:认为文学的本质是文学在作者创作、读者阅读、欣赏、接受过程中产生的意向性的存在,是一种意向性客体。<意向性客体论避免了形式主义文学本质观的片面性和及极端性,认识到文学的本质是一种互动的意向性过程,而并非静态的纯客体的形式。它强调了读者意识,为接受美学的文学本质观念奠定了基础。> 读者反应说 * 1、读者:文学作品创作的参与者和消费者。 2、特点:①强调读者参与意义生产过程;②极大地抬高了读者主动性和积极性的,关注读者心理个体和社会环境的差异性。 3、评价: 从读者视点来思考文学的本质,强调了文学是读者与文本的一种关系,读者及其阅读是成为文学的一个决定性维度。这种看法改变了以往单纯从作者、世界或作品视点去看文学本质的局限性,打开了文学本质探讨的新维度。但过分强调读者的地位,容易陷入对文学界定的主观主义或相对主义的泥潭中,以至于丧失文学的特殊性。

文学理论课后资料

第一章文学理论的性质和形态 1文艺学:文艺学是一门以文学为对象,以揭示文学基本规律,介绍相关知识为目的的学科,包括三个分支,即文学理论、文学批评、文学史。这三个分支具有不同的研究对象和任务。它们之间既、相互独立相互联系、相互渗透、文学理论作为研究文学普遍规律的学科,有独特的研究对象和任务,具有鲜明的实践性和价值取向。 文学作为一种极为复杂的、广延性极强的事物,决定了其研究视角和方法的多样性,也使得文学理论呈现出不同的形态。文学哲学、文学社会学、文学心理学、文学信息学、文学符号学、文学价值学、文学文化学等是文学理论的基本形态。 2、文学理论:文艺学的主要组成部分。它常常从美学、认识论、社会学、心理学等各种角度研究文学的本质、特征、内在构成和外在关系的基本原理和原则。文学理论的任务在于揭示文学作为审美文化现象的本质:既要对文学不同于其他文化现象的特质做出说明文学理论是不断发展变化着的文学实践的理论总结,因此,其自身也有一个发展的过程。研究文学活动的基本规律、基本原理、范畴、文学研究的方法的一门学科。 第二章马克思主义文学理论与中国当代文学理论建设 3艺术生产论:马克思随着时代发展把文学活动理解为“艺术生产”活动,“艺术生产”是把物质生产与作为精神生产的艺术生产相比较,艺术生产是指实际的艺术创作过程。马克思的艺术生产具有多重含义 第一种意义是把物质生产与精神生产相比较,主要从经济学的观点来看待文学艺术活动的结果,并不专指某一特定历史时期的艺术现象。 第二种意义是指艺术生产是实际的的艺术创作过程。 第三种意义,专指在资本发展时期,一切艺术的生产是资本的创造价值,一切艺术品都具有商品的属性。这种意义是马克思在《资本论》的“剩余价值理论”中经常提到的。 我们应该从第一种和第三种意义来理解马克思的艺术生产论,因为这种理论强调了文学艺术不是孤立存在的,它的发展是社会的政治经济形态的发展密切相关的,我们必须归根到底从社会物质生产和精神生产的实践中,从生产消费、分配、交换的关系中,才可能获得对文学艺术的真正理解和最终解释,这样就给我们揭示文学发展寻找到一个更为广阔的视野。 4 文学审美意识形态论:文学艺术是建立在社会经济基础之上的上层建筑,是上层建筑中的一种社会意识形态。把文学艺术看成是“审美意识形态”,意味着文学艺术是社会意识形态的变体,它既具有意识形态的性质,又具有审美的性质,是这两者的有机结合。 它是指与现实社会生活密切缠绕的审美表现领域,其集中形态是文学、音乐、戏剧、绘画、雕塑等艺术活动。审美意识形态在意识形态中具有特殊性:它一方面被看做意识形态中的富于审美特性的种类,但另一方面又渗透着社会生活以及其他意识形态的因子,与它们复杂地交织在一起。因此,审美意识形态不是审美与意识形态的简单相加,而是指在审美表现过程中审美与社会生活状况相互浸染、彼此渗透的状况。 中国的文学艺术学者也在20世纪80年代的初、中期,从反思“文学为政治服务”的口号的失误寻求从审美的视角来探讨文学的性质,同样也得出文学是一种”“审美意识形态式”或“审美反应”的结论,在这方面,蒋孔阳、李泽厚、钱中文、王元骧、王向峰、胡经之等学者都做出了不懈的努力,补充完善了马克思主义关于文学艺术作为一种特殊意识形态形式的思想, 第三章文学作为活动

文学理论资料之五

西方现代文学理论批评: 含混(ambiguity) 又译“晦涩”、“歧义”、“复义”。与“明晰”相反,通常指作品中的一种弊病,“也就是,当需要精确、明白无误的意思时,却用了含糊的或模棱两可的表达方式。然而,自威廉.燕卜荪发表了《含混七型》以来,这一术语在文学批评中广泛地用于表示一种诗歌技巧:使用一个单词或表现方法,表示两种或更多的不同意思、两种或更多大不相同的态度或者感情”。(.艾布拉姆斯《文学术语汇编》)燕卜荪自己在该书中下的定义为:“任何语义上的差别,不论如何细致,只要它使用一句话有可能引起不同的反应”,就同含混有关;“基本的情况是:一个词或一个语法结构同时有多方面的作用。”他按照“逻辑和语法混乱的程度”罗列了含混的七种类型,“使含混程度一层层提高”。第一型:“说一物与另一物相似,但它们却有几种不同的性质都相似。”例如莎士比亚十四行诗中有一诗句:“荒废的唱诗坛不再有百鸟歌唱。”鸟歌唱的树林被比作教堂中的唱诗坛是因为有诸多相似的性质,“由于不知道究竟应该突出哪一种因素,因此就有一种含混之感”。第二型:上下文引起数义并存,包括词义本身的多义和语法结构不严密引起的多义。如艾略特的诗句:“魏伯特老是想着死,看到皮肤下面的骷髅;地下没有呼吸的生物,带着无唇的笑,仰身向后。”第二句使用的分号作用不明,若相当于句号,第三句中的“生物”就是主语;若相当于逗号,“生物”就与前一句中的“骷髅”并列为宾语。“这微小的怀疑使这首诗的主旨——超越知觉的知觉——变得更加怪异。”第三型:“两个意思,于上下文都说得通,存在于一词之中。”双关是最明显的例子。第四型:“一个陈述语的两个或更多的意义相互不一致,但能结合起来反映作者一个思想综合状态。”第五型:“作者一边写一边才发现他自己的真意所在。”第六型:“陈述语字面意义累赘而且矛盾,迫使读者找出多种解释,而这多种解释也相互冲突。”第七型:“一个词的两种意义、一个含混语的两种价值,正是上下文所规定的恰好相反的意义。”关于含混的诸多类型,罗吉.福勒把它们扼要地概括为:同音异义、一词多义、纯粹由于句法上的原因引起的

10部必读美国文学经典作品

10部必读美国文学经典作品 1. The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Howthorne《红字》霍桑著小说惯用象征手法,人物、情节和语言都颇具主观想象色彩,在描写中又常把人的心理活动和直觉放在首位。因此,它不仅是美利坚合众国浪漫主义小说的代表作,同时也被称作是美利坚合众国心理分析小说的开创篇。 2. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain《哈克贝利·费恩历险记》马克·吐温著《哈克》是美国文学中的珍品,也是美国文化中的珍品。1984 ,美国文坛为《哈克》出版一百周年举行了广泛的庆祝活动和学术讨论,这在世界文坛上也是少有的盛事。这是因为《哈克》的意义不一般。美国著名作家海明威说:“一切现代美国文学来自一本书,即马克·吐温的《赫克尔贝里芬历险记》……这是我们所有书中最好的。一切美国文学都来自这本书,在它之前,或在它之后,都不曾有过能与之媲美的作品”。 3. The Portrait of a Lady by Henry James《贵妇画像》亨利·詹姆斯著美国小说家亨利·詹姆斯的《贵妇画像》自问世以来一直受到文学评论界的关注,专家学者已从各个不同角度对女主人伊莎贝尔·阿切尔作了深入细致的研究。本文试图从一个全新的视角,即跨文化交际角度,剖析伊莎贝尔在婚姻方面所作的选择。文章指出她是该小说中跨文化交际的最大失败者,并对其失败原因作了分析。希望在跨文化交际日益频繁的今天我们都能从伊莎贝尔的生活经历中得到某种启发。 4. Moby Dick by Herman Melville《白鲸》麦尔维尔著小说描写了亚哈船长为了追逐并杀死白鲸莫比·迪克的经历,最终与白鲸同归于尽的故事。故事营造了一种让人置身海上航行、随时遭遇各种危险甚至是死亡的氛围,是作者的代表作。小说场面宏阔博大,思想内涵复杂,哲理性很强,而且文笔沉郁瑰奇,堪称杰作。 5. Martin Eden by Jack London《马丁.伊登》杰克.伦敦著在美国文学发展史上,《马丁·伊登》起着先驱作用,后来不少描写“美国梦”破灭的作品都或多或少地受到它的影响。围绕这部书引起的争论首先是在主题上,按照杰克·伦敦的本意,写这部属的宗旨之一乃是攻击个人主义,但大多数评论家都认为他是在为个人主义辩护,而相当多的读者是把马丁·伊登当作“个人奋斗”的典型来接受的。其次是语言,有人认为“充满元气和力量”,也有人认为“粗糙”、“变化少”。杰克·伦敦是以“超人”自居的,他并没有成为超人,但《马丁·伊登》的确是一部超越了时代的作品。 6.The Great Gatsby by F.S. Fitzgerald《了不起的盖茨比》菲茨杰拉德著二十世纪的二十和三十年代是美国小说的黄金时代,群星璀璨,各放异彩。先是作家德莱塞出版了一部又一部长篇巨著,并且在一九二五年又发表了他的代表作《美国的悲剧》。同年四月,《了不起的盖茨比》在纽约出版,著名诗人兼文艺评论家T·S ·艾略特立刻称之为“美国小说自亨利·詹姆斯以来迈出的第一步”。海明威在回忆菲氏时写道:“既然他能够写出一本像《了不起的盖茨比》这样好的书,我相信他一定能够写出更好的书。”艾略特和海明威都是以苛刻闻名的批评家,因此我们就不难领会这些评价的分量了。直到今天,《了不起的盖茨比》还是美国一部家喻户晓的经典。
