摘要
本论文从卡勒思想史这个角度出发,遵循卡勒所提倡的“避免过度简化”的原则,从形式层面(基本学术思路、文学研究特色)、实体层面(三次转型思考、关键词溯源研究)这两个层面来立体把握其学术思想,并勾勒其在文学思想史的地位。
     在卡勒研究上,国外英美界并未有系统的研究,只有几次访谈以及众多书评,目前较为零散;而国内的研究主要多为国内众多学者的译介与评述,较少系统化的研究。
     鉴于上述思考,本次研究试图基于卡勒所有著作、重要论文、前言(如给燕卜逊等)、并结合国内与国外英美文学及文论界著名学者对卡勒的评论,来分析卡勒“如何说”与“为何说”,而非“说了什么”。由此,本文第一章介绍了卡勒其人与作品;第二章通过分析他批评的切入点、目标、方式与态度,试图着重把握住卡勒的基本学术批评思路;第三章则通过与其它批评家(詹姆逊、斯科尔斯、诺里斯、利奇、伊格尔顿)的比较,突出介绍了卡勒在“三次转型思考”中所表现出的良好应对;而第四章为“关键词研究”,系统梳理了卡勒语言学、“诗学”、与“理论”研究中的一些重要概念;第五章则将卡勒与詹姆逊、米勒进行比较,以探讨卡勒在理论批评以及文学研究中的特色;最后一章为总结,结合卡勒批评研究的实际,讨论他的理论贡献与将来可能的走向。
     相对来说,在卡勒的批评理论和学术生涯中,他能把文学理论、文学批评及文学研究有效地相互结合起来,而这三者在中国恰恰是相互分割的。虽然卡勒的选择不一定就是中国批评界的选择,但本论文仍然希望:对卡勒系统研究也许会在某种程度上对中国的批评界有所启示。
This dissertation is firmly grounded upon Jonathan Culler’s thought on literary studies and criticism. To“avoid overgeneralization”as promoted by Culler, we explore his critical ideas in terms of both form (referring to the pivotal anchoring points and its characteristics of Culler’s literary studies and criticism) and content (his three transformations in thinking and keyword studies). In so doing, it is anticipated that Culler’s critical thoughts could be fished out in a more comprehensive way, and his influence on literary studies and criticism could thus be traced.
     At present, no systematic study focusing on Jonathan Culler has been found abroad and only very scarce and randomized interviews or book reviews could be located. Similarly, in China, Culler’s study is dominated by translations or reviews from various scholars and it is also very rare to find a systematic study in this respect.
     In view of such fact, we attempt to base our study on all Culler’s works, selected articles and numerous prefaces (e.g., for Empson), which are further complemented by book reviews from those celebrated scholars both abroad and at home. By doing so, our emphasis is placed on“How Culler says”and“Why he says so”rather than“What he says”. Accordingly, Chapter One briefly introduces who Jonathan Culler is and what he has written; Chapter Two intends to formulate a framework to describe his colorful journey of literary studies and criticism, by illustrating his cutting points, objectives, modes of analysis and attitudes in or towards literary study and criticism; Chapter Three further highlights Culler’s sophisticated maneuvering practices in his three transformations in thinking, which is achieved by comparing Culler with such critics as Frederic Jameson, Robert Scholes, Christopher Norris, Vincent Leitch and Terry Eagleton. Chapter Four deals with“Keyword studies”, trying to comb through those essential concepts in Culler’s linguistics,“Poetics”and“Theory”studies; Furthermore, Chapter Five compares Culler with Frederic Jameson and J. Hillis Miller, to detect the underlying characteristics featured in Culler’s studies; Chapter Six serves as the conclusion part, discussing Culler’s theoretical contributions and possible trends in his literary studies and criticism with reference to his critical practices.
     Generally speaking, Culler has integrated literary theory, literary criticism and literary study into his critical practices in an efficient way. On the contrary, these three studies are clearly separated in Chinese contexts. Though Culler’s critical practices does not justify the integration option for Chinese criticism, we still hope that a systematic study on Culler may, to some extent, contribute a little to literary study and criticism in China.
