上世纪80年代以后,学界对“文学自觉”起于何时,具体内涵如何,进行了广泛讨论,学者之间存在着不同的看法,本文对主要分歧进行了总结并分析了导致分歧的原因,认为要解决这些分歧需要注意两点:一、要处理好当代文学观与古代文学观的关系问题;二、要注意到中国古代文学功利主义与艺术审美浑融的特质。最后,本文不主张取消“文学自觉”这一概念。 Since the 1980s, academics conducted extensive discussions on how and when “literary conscience” began, and there were different opinions among scholars. This paper summarizes the main differences and analyzes the causes of the differences First, it is necessary to deal with the relationship between the concept of contemporary literature and the ancient literature. Second, we should pay attention to the characteristics of the utilitarianism and aesthetic appreciation of ancient Chinese literature. Finally, this article does not advocate the elimination of the “literary consciousness” concept.
