A Study On Feng Xuefeng's Theory Of Literature And Art

Feng Xuefeng is not merely a famous contemptrary poet, a writer and an expert of LuXun research, but also a remarkable Marxisr critic of literature and art. As far as its content is concerned, his theory of literature and art is profoud, abundant,distinguishing rational,and rigorously logical, which has made important contribution to the development of Chinese literature.This thes is expounds and analyzes Feng Xuefeng's theory of literature and art with four parts in an attempt to systemically, accurately and profoundly comprehend and grasp it. Part One of this thesis divides the development process of Feng Xuefeng's theory of literature and art into three stages: brewing and forming stage, developing and maturing stage, expanding and deepening stage. Part Two emphatically analyzes the construction of Feng Xuefeng's theoretical system of literature and art. As to the relations between literature and art and politics,with in Feng Xuefeng's theoretical visual field there exist the relations of mutual determination and mutual restriction. On the one hand, he thinks it is impossible for literature and art to break away from politics and exist independently; on the other hand, he also emphsizes that we can't leave artistic works'internal rules to blankly talk about the political essence. Instead, we should unite the political essence with the artistry of literary works. In Feng Xuefeng's theoretical system of literature and art, its unique realistic view of literary and art creation manifests enormous theory tension clear, mainly expressd as following three aspects: (1)Emphasizing literary creation is a process unifying objective truth, subjective practice and creation aspiration; (2)Profoundly exploring the creation mechanism and inherent law of literature and art; (3)Adhere all the time to the literary view of the entity practice. Inaddition, the theory of typicality is an important component of Feng Xuefeng's theory of literature and art. His model theory regards"social lives"as the logic starting point, which is the joint connecting"scoial things"with"person things". It considers"social life practice"as the core; And the viewpoint that"literary is human study"goes throughout his theory of literature and art. Moreover, Feng Xuefeng has made positive, beneficial exploration into how Chinese literature survives and develops in modern society. In his view the world literature is created by all nationlities in the world; any national literature can not be developed in isolation.The modernization development route of Chinese literature is the advancement of both"modernization"and"popularization"side by side. Chinese literature must seek to develop in the national culture cosmopilization and the world culture nationalization. This fully displays Feng Xuefeng's modern awareness and worldly perspective.Feng Xuefeng's theory of literature is a result of particular historical period, It is inevitably sealed the brand of the times. His whole theory of literature and art is very distinctly characteristic of very clear political tendentiousness and strong criticism. Meanwhile, as a Marxist theorist of literature, Feng Xuefeng combines the reality of Chinese literature all the time to analyze the probems. Not being limited to the authority, not being chained to the theories in existence, he contemplates independantly, explores courageously, demonstrate his distinct personality characteristics. From the three aspects of the realism thought of literature and art, conscientious reflection on the modernization of the Chinese literature and the literary viewpoint of the theory of the entity practice, the end of this thesis illustrates the influence and sighificance of Feng Xuefeng's theory of literature and art in the contemporary field of Chinese literature and art.
