Literary Theory as a Discipline: a Study on Reflective Issues in the Discipline of Contemporary Literature and Art
by Xiao Minghua
About This Novel
This book takes the academic case of disciplinary reflection that has emerged in the transformation and development of contemporary Chinese literary theory since the 1990s as the research center. It combs the occurrence and development process of disciplinary reflection in literary theory, and conducts a relatively in-depth discussion on a series of issues involved in literary theory research objects, ways of thinking, value positions, identity, knowledge configuration and future trends. The author believes that contemporary reflection on the discipline of literary theory takes literary theory itself as the research object, which is a symptom of the discipline of literary theory becoming self-conscious and helps to highlight the sense of history in the production of literary theory knowledge. The reflective literary theory knowledge form it constructs even represents a development direction of literary theory. But no matter what, we must not forget to ask about "good literary theory". This "questioning" is probably not only a reason for the continuation of the reflection on the discipline of literary theory, but also the proper meaning of the topic "literary theory as a discipline."
