摘要: 本文是对20世纪80年代以来审美文论的发生、发展及其流变的一个知识谱系学的考察。审美文论的一个前奏、一个序曲,是肇始于20世纪50、60年代,至70年代末再掀论争的形象思维的讨论。形象思维讨论的意义,在于确立了文学艺术不同于概念认识的形象特征。从形象认识说到情感说,铺平了通向文学审美本质说的道路。对于审美的感召、教育、拯救、解放功能的强调,说明审美文论是一种带有强烈功利诉求的文论范式。审美文论的价值系统在进入90年代后表现出了与时代氛围的龃龉,不能有效言说新的文化现实。审美文论的发生、发展及其流变说明:任何一种本质论都不过是在特定历史境遇中对文学意义的觉解。即使在某个时段内占据主导性的本质论,最终都会被取代,被超越。研究文学是为了体悟文学的丰富性、复杂性及其内在的生命意义,而不是给它找一个独一的本质。

Abstract: This article is a genealogical investigation of the origin and evolvement of aesthetic poetics in China since the 1980s. Its prelude originated from the "imagistic thinking Debate" in the 1950s and 1960s, which was revived at the end of the 1970s. The outcome of this debate was a common recognition that the image, rather than concepts, features literature and art. The evolvement from image epistemology to affectionism paved the way to an aestheticism-based theory. However, the emphasis on the functions of aestheticism to appeal, to educate, to save, and to liberate indicates that the aesthetic poetics was a utilitarian literary paradigm. Out of key with the time in the 1990s, the value system of aestheticism fell short of addressing the new cultural reality. The origin, development, and evolvement of this aesthetic poetics have proved that any essentialist poetics is just an interpretation of literature under certain circumstances. Though dominant in one period, it will be replaced and surpassed. The purpose of literary study is to comprehend literature's richness, intricacy, and significance to life, rather than attaching to it an essence.

Key words: image thinking, aesthetic poetics, utilitarian discourse, anti-essentialism
