About This Novel
The book focuses on the transformation of literary theory in the social and cultural context of the 1990s. It not only describes it at a macro level, but also examines it in detail. The author believes that literary theory in the 1990s is not a single existence, but consists of some specific and differentiated academic discourses and intellectual events. However, due to the rise of popular culture, reflection on modernity and the prominence of identity politics, contemporary literary theory has shown certain commonalities, leading to transformations in terms of research objects, research methods, value orientations, identity, functional positioning, etc. "Big literary theory" can be used as the intellectual form of literary theory after transformation. Specific theoretical discourses such as theoretical criticism, cultural studies, cultural poetics, postcolonial criticism, and feminist criticism must be placed in this knowledge type to gain practical understanding. The legality and justification of the transformation of "big literary theory" is still a basic issue that requires the attention of the literary theory community. In a certain sense, it will have a lasting impact on the context and direction of current and even future literary theory.
