举隅法和宇文所安中国古典文学地研究.doc

摘要 美国汉学家宇文所安是古典诗歌、中国文论的研究专家。在《追忆》这本特 殊的充满学术思辩和文学趣味的书中，宇文所安指出了中国文学传统的“举隅法” 特点，他以点带面，从中国文学作品中的“烟” 往事”等具体意象入手研究“举 隅法”。他认为，“举隅法”具有在片段中把握整体的美学价值。宇文所谓“举隅 法”具体在中国语境中是“举一端为例，使人由此一端而推知其他”的意思，同 时又结合了西方修辞中的举隅理论：以小见大，以部分代整体。中国古典文学的 举隅传统主要指创作者把握事物特征，通过想象、借代等表现手法，建立人与自 然的多重联系的过程。读者在有限的表达中，通过阅读经验补全作者的“欲言又 止”。 举隅法是对中国传统文学中诗歌创作和阅读习惯的描述。本文试图从宇文 所安中国古典文学举隅传统的提出入手，重点研究宇文所安对各种形态的文本进 行的“举隅法”解读，并在此基础上探讨他那中西方相结合的双重视角和研究模 式。 全文分五部分。 引言对宇文所安的学术生涯和古典文学文论思想做了简要介绍，并且对本文 的主题做扼要述评。 第一章就宇文所安中国文学举隅传统的提出，探讨作为表达和思维方式的举 隅内涵。 第二章以文学中的“烟”和“回忆”为解说例证，从解读方式上看宇文所安 所言的文学文本中的举隅。 第三章以中国文论范畴、诗话的解读为例证，论述宇文所安思考的中国文论 的不可捉摸的诗意和言简意繁的特点。 结束语是宇文所安对中国文学的阐释提供的启示，思考经典的重读和延续。 关键词：举隅 宇文所安 文学文本 中国文论 Abstract American sinologist Stephen Owen is an expert specializing in classical poetry and Chinese literature. In his works “Remembrance”, a book with academic speculation and literal interest, Owen mentioned synecdoche in Chinese literature. Synecdoche is a process in which the author bridge human and nature by using his/her imagination, or by means of figure of speech by which a part is put for the whole; and the readers comprehend the author’s limited and uncompleted expression. Synecdoche is a description of Chinese traditional literature language and poetry reading habit, which generalizes how literature forerunners create poetry and how they interpret poetry. This dissertation tries to discuss the phenomenon of synecdoche and Stephen Owen’s unique research methods by studying some of his works, implores the synecdoche in classical literary works and literary theory and discovers the significance of Stephen Owen’s critical practice and global academic background. In addition to the introduction and the conclusion, this dissertation is divided into five parts. The introduction gives a brief introduction to Stephen Owen’s academic career, his philosophy of Chinese literature and a brief presentation of the theme of the whole
