关于20世纪中国文学谱系研究的思考——兼论《中国新文学大系(1917-1927)》的历史价值与现实意义

谱系学对于文学研究的重要意义已经愈益显示出来,而从目前的谱系建构来看,无论是就西方福柯所强调的复杂性、差异性而论,还是就中国传统谱系观念中秩序性和关联性而言,都是有欠缺和距离的。《中国新文学大系(1917—1927)》在注重编选经典的文学作品、强调文学的发展脉络、构建文学自身的考察体系等方面,为我们提供了重要启示。文学谱系研究应该具有的价值取向的核心,是要以文学自身发展为主要脉络,同时确定相关研究的维度:从作品的艺术价值和思想价值、代表性和个性来综合确定作品本身的地位;兼顾对于文学发展流变脉络的梳理;注重对史料的把握,对于材料的处理要准确和细化;同时更应该树立经典意识和眼光。

Rethinking about the Pedigree of Chinese Literature in 20th Century:Also on Historic Value and Current Significance of The Complete Series of Chinese New Literature (1917-1927)

The significance of pedigree has become more and more apparent to literature study.But compared with the complexity and differentiation view advocated by Foucault on western literature,the traditional Chinese theory of pedigree is much oriented toward sequentiality and relevance;yet both have their due drawbacks.The Complete Series of Chinese New Literature(1917—1927) provides us important insights from various perspectives,in particular its ways of selecting classical works,emphasis on the development lines,and its own observation system for constructing literature itself.Meanwhile,it sets up its relevant research dimension:to decide the status of a literary work comprehensively by its artistic value and ideological importance,and its representativeness and characteristics.The paper also pays attention to surveying the change process of the literature development,the historical data and their accuracy and details,and at the same time advocates the classical consciousness.
