The Place of Literature: Challenges and Games

South Sail

305K0

The specific content is divided into three parts: The first part is "Literature: Aesthetic and Historical Perspectives", which mainly focuses on the "aesthetics" and "history" of literature. The existence of "aesthetics" is undoubtedly an important reason why literature has not been covered by various disciplines such as philosophy, history, economics, and sociology. Strong aesthetic pleasure appeals to sensibility, but aesthetic experience is not only the psychological tide brought by several works of art, but may also be converted into another kind of historical cognition. Of course, the so-called historical cognition includes different perspectives and concepts. Aesthetic intervention is to form an active dialogue with these perspectives and concepts, and this dialogue process is a "game" process. The second part is "Classic and Modern: Narrative and its Virtual Space". Compared with the elegance and restraint and "gentleness" of classical literature, the current public is more willing to enjoy the legend, suspense, twists and turns provided by the narrative genre. Modern "narratology" also goes far beyond the theoretical perspective of structuralism and has richer connotations. With modern science and technology so powerfully involved in contemporary narratives, the Internet is creating various new narrative discourses. Therefore, current literature is facing great challenges. The third part is "Interpretation: Opening and Boundaries". The core issue involved in the modern turn of hermeneutics is "opening \u002F boundaries". Literary criticism is a special branch of interpretation, and because of interpretation, it has gained access to historical depth. This part mainly starts from the perspective of literary criticism and repeatedly debates around the "open \u002F boundary", because how to interpret it will ultimately involve the form of spiritual shaping.

This book explains the structural characteristics of Chinese literature in the 1980s, as well as the various relationships and internal conflicts hidden within its structure. The whole book interprets the conflicts existing in Chinese literature in the 1980s from the aspects of "survival reality", "spiritual dimension", "imaginary realm", "dissension of literature", "decomposition of symbols" and "basis of criticism". In this book, the author adopts the relatively rare synchronic structural analysis method to describe the complexity of multiple cultural conflicts originating from the three "sources of value" of pre-modernity, modernity and post-modernity after the lifting of cultural ban in the 1980s. The appendix of this book is the author's two lectures on cultural and literary theoretical issues. They are articles of high academic level and are a new and important supplement to the content of this book.
