The Era Specimen Of The Change Of Literary Concepts--Research On "Contemporary Literary Trends"

As a response to the study of "Return to the 1980's",this paper starts with the"Contemporary Literary and Artistic Trend ",which is active in the 1980's and has a wide range of influence,to investigate the evolution of the concept of literature in the 1980 's.This publication is great influence at that time,The 224 articles it reprinted were reproduced by "Copies of newspapers and periodicals of Renmin University of China",9 articles by "XinHua Digest".As Gansu Province Literary Federation sponsored publications,the nature of "Contemporary Literary and Artistic Trend "is part of the literary system.In this paper,the articles of "Contemporary Literary and Artistic Trend "divided into four categories:theory text,history theory text,review text and methodology text.on the part of theory text,the content is very rich.The first is the discussion about the theory of left wing literature.By opening up"Marxism-Leninism literary thought research","Mao Zedong literary and artistic thought research" and other columns,it has published quite a few articles and comments on some existing conclusions,these articles has injected new vitality to the traditional left-wing literary theory,thus promoting the formation of a multicultural symbiotic situation.Followed by a discussion on "humanism",it uses the "humanitarian enlightenment" instead of "class theory",quickly break through the "bourgeois humanitarian" or "socialist humanitarianism" stereotype,and defines humanitarian as a universal principle of human society.It is based on whether the performance of the complete "human nature" as the standard to re-examine the contemporary literature.However,it advocates "humanitarian" hard to break "Enlightenment humanism" limitations.The third is about the "subject" and "turn inward" literary discussion.the articles it published reflect the dual respect for the creation body and object,reflecting the emphasis on the independence of literature and a return to literary studies ontological.Fourth discussion on "Practical Aesthetics".The articles it published reflect hominology,anthropology ontology research ideas and aesthetic activity-centered research ideas.The above discussion constitutes a series of "people's awakening".Today,the articles it published uplift the human value,undoubtedly contributed to the change of literary concept,make towards a more rational direction.But in this process,the articles are almost inevitably fall into the two opposite thinking pattern.The last is the discussion about "modernism".It promotes the spread of "modernism" theory in China by setting up "Foreign Literary and Artistic Trend Window" column and publishing articles such as Xu Jingya ""Poem Group Rise-Review Poetry Modern Tendency".on the part of history theory text,"Contemporary Literary and Artistic Trend " is involved in the formation and spread of "evolution" and "break of "Literary history concept In the 1980's by organizing a series of articles.on the issue of New Period Literature should be inherited May Fourth Literature or "Seventeen Years" literature,The views of these articles "Contemporary Literary and Artistic Trend " published are contradictory.In particular,the articles show that returning to the May Fourth Literature traditional shows "Essentialism" and "holism" tendency.on the part of review text,"Contemporary Literary and Artistic Trend "shows a more daring feature than similar publications in the same period,but also left a lot of defect.However,We should affirm its value in terms of supporting "stream of consciousness" novel,in-depth analysising the "modern" novel,concerning "Roots"Literature as a whole,emphasising on cutting-edge critics,helping youth critics.They all reflect the great changes of literary concept in the 1980's.on the part of methodology text,"Contemporary Literary and Artistic Trend"published a series of research papers by setting up "literature and art and social science","the modernization of aesthetics and literature and art","literature and art,aesthetics and other science","literature and art and modern science","literature and art new encyclopedia" and other columns giving the vulgar social science research methods with a heavy blow,to break the single situation of art and literature research methods,awakening the consciousness of methodology in the study of literature.But there are some problems such as stiffly using natural science research methods and overestimating the role of methods.Through the study of "Contemporary Literary and Artistic Trend ",we find that literature concept in the 1980's is far better than simple substance and pure we imagine.At least,the literature concept of left wing and "new enlightenment"are coexisting.The literature concept of"new enlightenment" should be in the main position,its formation is the result of changes in the "system" in the 1980's.As the core point of "new enlightenment" literature concept,the literature nature of human and its self-discipline has been widely recognized in the middle of the 1980's,but it is lack of reflection.The traditional left wing literature concept does not have the potential to suppress the new enlightenment literature concept.Instead,people who holding left wing literature concept towards "new enlightenment" literature concept mostly take communication and explores the attitudes,and the concept of "new enlightenment" Literature of some core views,they also accepted.
