A Study On The Question Of "Appropriation" In Literature

In the process of reevaluating the history, we need use "Appropriation" to make add to history, and it is the premising way and means to add to and reconstruct history, as well as the channels and ways to connect history, texts and subjects. As the theory and practice of New Historicism, "Appropriation" has an irreplaceable significance. "Appropriation", in the theoretical view, also explained and strengthened the social energy circulation between historical realities and elements of literary texts, and extremely enrich the theories and practices of New Historicism in many ways, for instance, in the literary meaning producing, the relations between the historic meaning of texts and the textual meanings of history texts, the questions of tradition and innovation, and so on.The thesis seeks hard to scan and construct "Appropriation" fully. The author do everything as possible as she can to researched and explained the theoretical terms "Appropriation", inquired and analyzed it in the perspective of sources, manifestations , types, significances and defects, so as to highlight the theoretical values and natural appeals of "Appropriation". Further, it, Appropriation, plays extremely important values and positive roles to improve New Historicism and enrich contemporary literary theories.It thinks, in this paper, that "Appropriation" of New Historicism is not repeat copy, paste and plagiarizes passively; it is also not distortion, subversion assumption and digestion entirely. New Historicism does not in favor the simple duplication and passive plagiarism. Plagiarism is not the theoretical pursuit of New Historicism, or even contraries to the purpose and theme of it, but a positive interactive reread, rewrite and construction. "Appropriation" achieved the "negotiations" and "exchanges" of social energy among literary texts, the historic realities and ideologies; it also broke the barriers between different fields, made inter-affects, exchanges and inter-mold possibly. Being faced by the plights of both cumbersome and fuzzy of New Historical Theory resources, we must construct independent characteristic New Historicism Theory by taking from and integrating with other theories as soon as possible, give a reasonable and lawful status to "Appropriation" practice its coordinative, dialectical and active roles in the duplicated and irony way.
