目录之学关涉中国现代文学的学术源流和知识掌控问题。“目录”是目与录的合称,传统目录重“录”(叙录),现代目录往往有“目”无“录”。中国现代文学的编目(录)实践从这种新的文学诞生不久即已开始,成为绵延近百年的学术传统,而20世纪30年代前期、50年代末至60年代初期及80年代则掀起了目录编撰实践高潮。目录对现代文学来说具有广告、传播功用,整序(控制)——检索功用,辅助、导读功用,更具有学术研究功用。对目录应该有必要的价值批判,现代文学目录编撰还有值得拓宽和完善的空间,最主要的是缺失专题目录。也缺少目录应有的完备、理想的体式,还存在实用价值和学术价值的矛盾性及道德观念、意识形态观念等非学术观念对目录编撰的制约。对目录著述成果的认知也应该持一种学术价值尺度和标高,即目录不只是一种工具书,而应该被视为一种特殊的现代文学史和学术史,一种具有丰富的学术内涵的著述类型。 The study of the catalog relates to the academic origins and knowledge control of Chinese modern literature. “Directory ” is a combination of the title and record, the traditional directory heavy “record ” (Syria), the modern directory often has “head ” without “record ”. The cataloging (recording) practice of Chinese modern literature started shortly after the birth of this new literature and became an academic tradition stretching nearly a hundred years. In the early 1930s, the late 1950s, early 1960s and 1980s, catalogs Compilation practice climax. Catalog for modern literature with advertising, communication function, order (control) - retrieval, auxiliary, guide function, more academic research. The catalog should have the necessary value of criticism, there is room for the preparation of modern literary catalogs worth broadening and improvement, the most important is the lack of thematic catalogs. There is also a lack of a complete and ideal body that should be included in the catalog, as well as contradictions of practical value and academic value as well as non-academic concepts such as moral concepts and ideological concepts that constrain catalog compilation. The cognition of the achievements of the catalog should also hold a scale and elevation of academic value, that is, the catalog is not only a kind of reference book, but should be regarded as a special kind of modern literary history and academic history with a rich academic content The type of writing.
