摘要: 晚近三十年,由于社会文化语境的变迁,文艺学界出现了文化批评。其中有出于对大众文化兴起所产生的认知兴趣,于是兴发阐释批评;也有因知识分子身份变迁的焦虑,所以才激发了批评的冲动;还有为了突破学科化的规约,或知识人本有的公共诉求等不同原因所导致的文化批评实践。凡此种种所建构的文化批评,可以被分为“作为大众文艺批评的文化批评”“作为文化研究的文化批评”“作为‘文化讨论’的文化批评”和“作为文学批评的文化批评”等几个类别。考察诸种文化批评,我们可以发现,尽管它们之间有区别,比如在研究对象的选择上有不同侧重,在公共性的观念上有自觉和不自觉之分;但总体而言,它们都有跨学科的知识视野、面向当下社会文化发言的公共情怀以及维护知识生产的有效性的自觉等共同的习性。继承文化批评近三十年的传统,对于当前文艺、文化乃至社会的发展来说都是有价值的。

Abstract:

In the last 30 years, cultural criticism emerged in studies of literature and art thanks to changes in social and cultural context. Some scholars are appealed to interpretative criticism as a result of epistemological interest in the rising popular culture. Some are stimulated to practice cultural criticism by the anxiety about the change of intellectual identity. Some are dedicated to cultural criticism in order to break through disciplinary restraints or to fulfil intellectuals’ role of responding to public concerns. These forms of cultural criticism can be respectively dubbed as “cultural criticism as popular literary criticism,” “cultural criticism as cultural research,” “cultural criticism as cultural debate” and “cultural criticism as literary criticism.” Despite their differences, for example, in research object and conceptualization of publicness—either on the conscious or unconscious level—these forms of cultural criticism share a vision of interdisciplinarity, a spirit of publicly addressing social-cultural issues, and an awareness of maintaining effective knowledge production. A continuation of the 30-year tradition of cultural criticism is significant to the development of literature, art, culture, and society.
