Research On The Cultural Paradigm Of Literary Theory In The New Period

The cultural theory paradigm of literary research is a very key link in the development of literary theory in the new era.Its broad cultural vision,diversified thinking mode and rich research objects have greatly expanded the academic space of Chinese literary theory.Therefore,it is of great significance to sort out the growth path of the paradigm of cultural theory,investigate the external driving force and internal reasons of its development,and analyze its theoretical fulcrum for grasping the evolution law of literary theory and exploring the future trend of literary theory.Focusing on this,this paper attempts to interpret the paradigm of cultural theory.This paper is divided into four parts,focusing on the appearance of the paradigm of cultural theory,the external impetus and internal contention in the growth,and the theoretical form in the maturity stage.By referring to the important events and original documents in the development process of the paradigm of cultural theory,this paper combs out the evolution path of the paradigm of cultural theory.In the introduction part,the necessity of exploring the paradigm of cultural theory and the current research status are expounded.Four chapters discuss the appearance,growth,formation and maturity of cultural theory in detail.The first chapter focuses on the appearance of the paradigm of cultural theory.The vigorous socialist market economy and the re-emergence of civil society have brought about the expansion of private space.After the reform and opening up,the trend of mass culture has improved people’s life,such as food,clothing,housing and transportation,culture and entertainment.New changes have taken place in literature based on all forms of life,and new literary phenomena have been brought into the field of study by literary theory.At the same time,the theories of Western cultural studies such as Frankfurt School and Birmingham School were introduced into China,which set off a wave of cultural studies in China and had an important influence on the development and innovation of Chinese literary theories.Under the dual driving at home and abroad,the pattern of Chinese contemporary culture has been reformed,and aesthetic literary theory can no longer make a strong interpretation of the emerging literary and cultural phenomenon,so it has to temporarily retire,preparing for the appearance of the paradigm of cultural theory.Under this background,the field of literary theory began to think about new problems and new status with new perspectives,new methods and new paths.Chapter two explores the external motivation of the paradigm of culturalism.Chinese contemporary aesthetic culture research is the first to be influenced by the trend of cultural theory,and has become a bridge between literary aesthetic theory and literary cultural theory paradigm.On the one hand,it still pursues aesthetic implication,on the other hand,it gives profound enlightenment to the cultural theory paradigm with its practical.critical and constructive nature.The most closely related to the paradigm of cultural theory is Chinese indigenous cultural studies,whose appeal and goal of "intervening in reality and transforming the world" have expanded the research vision of the paradigm of cultural theory and updated the research thoughts of the paradigm of cultural theory.The booming of cultural industry in the economic field has sounded the alarm for the paradigm of cultural theory,so that the theoretical circle can see the loss of the spiritual value of literature under the virtual landscape of the flourishing literary industry,and call for the return of aesthetics,so that the paradigm of cultural theory can be both inside and outside.The third chapter interprets the internal debate of the paradigm of cultural theory.The external innovation of literature finally caused the internal shock of literature,and the discussion of "aestheticization of daily life" promoted the debate on the "boundary displacement of literature and art".The dialogue and communication focused on the issues such as whether literature should end,whether literature and literature and art should expand,the relationship between literature and cultural studies,and the development of literature and art.Behind the debate reveals the battle for the right of discourse in the academic field,but also shows the question and refutation of the anti-essentialism to essentialism.In summary,all kinds of problems finally settle in one place,that is,how to survive and develop literary theory in the new literary era.These debates in the field of literary theory set a general tone for the realization of this goal,which aims to construct a new research paradigm of dialogue,integration,pluralism and symbiosis.Thus,the cultural theory paradigm of literary study emerges at the historic moment,and has begun to take shape in the constant communication and discussion in the theoretical circle.Chapter four focuses on the concrete theoretical construction of cultural theory paradigm and seeks a theoretical foothold based on Chinese own discourse."Cultural poetics" is one of the most representative attempts to take root in reality.Its theoretical resources span both China and the West,not only the accumulation of traditional Chinese literary theory,but also the reference of Western literary theory.Its research position spans the ancient and modern times,not only examining the historical and cultural significance of literary texts in the original context,but also interpreting and proliferating their values in the current discourse environment.Its approach to vision is interdisciplinary,breaking the barriers between different cultural categories,and exploring the cultural connotation of literature from the holistic perspective of cultural system.Its path is to cross the "inside and outside",not only to adhere to the internal research of literature,but also to expand the external research of literature,and completely break through the barriers between the inside and outside of literature,the inside and outside of literature is invisible.In addition,the theoretical circle also tries to combine the internal and external studies of literature closely through the theories of "literary culturology" and "formsculture theory",so as to bridge the gap between literature and culture.By analyzing the cultural construction function of literature and the unique cultural attributes of literature,a rather solid literary and cultural community has been formed.The paradigm of cultural theory found its realistic and practical foothold in the construction of cultural poetics,literary culturology and other theoretical forms.It gradually matured from its appearance,germination and formation,and finally entered into the literature theory textbooks which are related to the development of literary and art talents training and future trend,and more effectively affected the development of literary and art disciplines.It has really become an important and unignorable part in the history of literary theory.The conclusion of the paper summarizes the evolution path of the cultural theory paradigm and points out the complexity of its development stage,which has both diachronic factors and synchronic factors.In the same period of time,we can see not only the surging power of various disciplines outside literary research,but also the discrimination and contention of various elements inside literary research,and constantly accompanied by the continuous attempts to construct theoretical forms,promoting the continuous development of Chinese contemporary literary theory.At the same time,it probes into the evolution characteristics of the paradigm of cultural theory,expounds the criticism of its theory,the diversification of discourse,the sinicization of western literary theory and the outward shift of thinking mode,and further thinks about the deficiencies of the paradigm of cultural theory.No matter where literary theory will eventually go,the key value of cultural theory paradigm is indelible and irreplaceable,which is worth thinking and pondering repeatedly in the theoretical circle.
