Marxist Literary Theory Research, And Human Spirit

Since 1990s', with the influence of market economy and social transformation, humanistic spirit in literary creation and literature theories has been lost, along with western Deconstuctionism and Post-modernism coming into China constantly. The Great Discussion of Humanism and Aestheticization of Everyday Life are also related to this. Although New Rational Literature Theory has been advocating conducting humanistic spirit using The New Rational, it is not enough. Carrying forward humanistic spirit and conquering the tendency of vulgarization among literature and arts, is the aim of the Chinese version of Marxist theory of literature and art. Otherwise, the realization of humanistic spirit among literary creation and literature theories needs guidance of the Chinese version of Marxist theory of literature and art. Hereby, this thesis tries to analyze and value those two disputes from the Chinese version of Marxist theory of literature and art, on the basis of the new humanistic spirit tradition of the primary Chinese version of Marxist theory of literature and art and in the context of the development of literature and literature theories nowadays. It is also an important way of deepening the Chinese version of Marxist theory of literature and art.This thesis is divided into two articles: the top and the bottom. The top revolves the Great Discussion of Humanism, including four chapters. In chapter oneâ… retell the main standpoints and questions of Great Discussion of Humanism which contained two factions: one faction persisted that "humanistic spirit had been lost"; the other said "no" or "it never existed". Humanistic spirit mainly related to the connotation of humanistic spirit, humanistic spirit and intellectuals and reconstructing humanistic spirit etc. In chapter twoâ… retell reflections on humanistic spirit: someone thought that it was strongly realistic; someone thought that it was illusory; someone thought that it has tendency of essentialism; someone thought that it was ideological. In chapter threeâ… analyze the Great Discussion of Humanism from the Chinese version of Marxist theory of literature and art.â… think loss of humanistic spirit is loss of socialist spiritual civilization and humanistic spirit is not merely intellectuals'. We should avoid faults of humanism. Only on the basis of socialist spiritual civilization does humanistic spirit actualize itself. In chapter fourâ… retell the achievement of reconstructing humanistic spirit: New Rational Literature Theory, which is directed by the Chinese version of Marxist theory of literature and art. New Rational Literature Theory, standing on the basis of historical materialism, protruding aesthetic social, advocates conducting humanistic spirit using The New Rational. It has important theoretical and practical meanings. The bottom revolves Aestheticization of Everyday Life, including three chapters. In chapter five I retell how New Aesthetics Principle grew up and how it was oppugned during Aestheticization of Everyday Life dispute. In chapter six I retell aesthetic connotation of Everyday Life, Aesthetic and Aestheticization of Everyday Life, trying to clarifying their original meanings. In chapter seven I analyze Aestheticization of Everyday Life from the Chinese version of Marxist theory of literature and art. I think New Aesthetics Principle cancels difference of arts and life and equals life to arts, canceling aesthetics principle and arts in essence. New Aesthetics Principle claims Aesthetic sensibility diversion, confusing Aesthetic sensibility, feelings and desires virtually which justifies the expansion of lust and sensual stimulations objectively. New Aesthetics Principle emphasizes sensibility and sensuality blindly while feelings and affection floods in literature nowadays. It is unilateral and it is also a symbol of loss of. In conclusion I summarize those two disputes which should insist upon human being diversion and theoretical critique in theory of literature and art. Those two disputes are parts of Chinese version of Marxist Envisioning construction of humanistic spirit, we should set about from global, earthly and traditional context of theory of literature and art.
