Knowledge Fragment and Theoretical System: Keywords as the Philosophical Basis for the Knowledge System of Literary Theory

Abstract

Abstract: This paper discusses deep changes of literary theory as a subject of knowledge writing when keywords are used to construct the knowledge system of literary theory. It reveals knowledge assumption behind the changes from the perspectives of disciplinary boundary, meaning reconstruction, and study acceptance. According to the paper, it is fuzzy disciplinary boundary of literary theory that makes it possible to perceive and generate theory by using keywords; with the narrative of literary theories questioned, it thus becomes necessary to use keywords and reconstruct meaning. At the same time, the knowledge of literary theory marked by keywords provides readers with a variety of choices, which thereby contribute to a colorful landscape of theoretical knowledge for their study.

Key words: literary theory, keywords, knowledge system, disciplinary boundary
