究竟是“跨文化形象学”还是“比较文学形象学”
|
摘要
"跨文化形象学"的研究对象是不同类型文本共同构成的作为一般社会想象的异域形象,不仅限于文学文本。作为一种方法或批评策略,它的理论资源来自现代社会理论与后现代文化批判理论,它所研究的问题是特定国家民族在现代性世界观念体系中的文化认同及其自我与他者的关系。就"跨文化形象学"的"中国问题"而言,它表现为:三个分析层面——形象、类型、原型;一对基本概念——知识社会学意义上的乌托邦与意识形态;三组问题——作为起点与终点的西方的中国形象、中国形象的跨文化流动及其中的西方霸权、中国现代性自我想象与西方作为他者的形象;一个关注点——中国现代性自我认同与文化自觉。从已有研究实践基础上看,"跨文化形象学"只是一种研究方法、批评策略或研究领域,具有文化研究本身的学科开放性或跨学科特征。以专业的方法面对时代重大课题,关注方法与问题,比讨论学科分野更有意义。
Trans-cultural imagology is a discipline,or just methodology and criticism strategy,or a research area?What is the relationship between comparative literature imagology and trans-cultural imagology?Is that trans-cultural imagology is just the output of the"cultural turn"of contemporary comparative literature?What are exactly its object,methodology,problem and area?As for the answers,its object is the images of foreign lands and people as"Les imaginaires sociaux"constructed by different kind of texts,not only literary text.As methodology or criticism strategy,its theory resources rely on modern social theories and especially post-modernist cultural criticism.Its research problem aims to certain nation's self-imagination of cultural identity and its relation with the"other".As for its"China problem",it concerns China's modernity identity and cultural consciousness in the perspective of the cross-cultural self-imagination.How China is conceived by Western world and identifies itself in the world system of modernity.As for the methodology,we have three analysis terms as images,stereotypes and archetypes,and a binary key concept of utopia and ideology.As for the"problem",we have three units of questions:the images of China in West,the trans-cultural circulating of China's images and the hegemony of Western modernity,the self-imagination of modern China's identity and the constructing images of Western modernity as the other.Anyway,transcultural imagology as research methodology or criticism strategy,opens to the area of crossdisciplinary studies and cross-cultural problems
