一个重要的文化现象是,今天的文学批评 似乎比文学理论更有市场,同时也比文学理论更 活跃。乔纳森·卡勒在《论解构》的前言中开篇即 说,在当今如此纷繁复杂的批评论争中,如果非 要为所有的派别找一个共同点的话,那就是“当 代批评理论的纷繁复杂和令人迷惑不解”。当 然卡勒这里所说的“批评理论”(criticaltheory)似 乎更具有一种反思性(self-reflexivity),而且反 思性几乎也成为理论之为理论的根基所在。也是 在这种理论反思性的基础上,我们提出的问题 是:如何看待批评理论的勃兴这一文化现象?本 文将从当代文学生产与消费的角度来思考这一 An important cultural phenomenon is that literary criticism today seems to be more market-oriented than literary theory and more active than literary theory. Jonathan Caller, in the foreword of “Deconstruction”, begins by saying that in today’s complex and controversial debate, if one has to find one thing in common for all factions, it is “the complexity of the contemporary theory of criticism and Puzzling ”. Of course, what Karl suggests here is that “critical theory” seems more of a self-reflexivity, and reflective thinking has almost become the basis of theory as theory.

This article will consider this point of view from the angle of contemporary literature production and consumption
