现代文学如何被知识化、经典化和制度化,并由此构建起新的精英秩序,形成新的文学传统,使之成为现代社会制度的重要组成部分?这是本文讨论的内容。从现代文学知识的制度化过程,我们会更清楚地看到“制度”的“非本质主义”的特征,它恰揭示了新文学经典和精英秩序的历史性与建构性。从中国文学的“现代性”建构的角度,梳理19世纪末以来新文学知识的经典化、制度化和现代精英秩序的形成之间的关系,从而尝试把“现代性”问题置于“制度”层面进行批判性的反省。 How can modern literature be educated, canonized and institutionalized, and thus a new elite order can be established and a new literary tradition formed, making it an important part of the modern social system? This is the content of this article. From the process of systematization of modern literary knowledge, we can see the characteristics of “non-essentialism” of “system” more clearly, which reveals the historic and constructive nature of the new literary classics and elitism. From the perspective of the “modernity” construction of Chinese literature, this paper tries to sort out the relationship between the classical and institutionalized new literary knowledge and the formation of the modern elite order since the end of the 19th century, and tries to put “modernity” at the “institutional” level Conduct a critical reflection.
