other, but should be toward tolerance, dialogue, comprehensive innovation also
contains the either-or thinking He also vital. literature in the new ideas, the
theory of progress in modernity instigated , continue to distinguish between
policy and theory, initially established in the management of their own

rid of political groups, awareness, aesthetic consciousness occurred upheaval,
modern aesthetic consciousness awareness of the general public aesthetic groups
continue to generate the process; literature and art the emergence of
anti-modern phenomenon, and its by criticism, the paradox of modernity and its
potential to reflect.
Modern problems of modernity and its evolution
by the attention from the cultural sector for over 10 years.
In my opinion, the so-called modernity, is the promotion of the society into
the modern stage of development, the community continue to go to science and
progress in a rational spirit, the spirit of the Enlightenment, is a highly
developed scientific spirit and humanistic spirit is the spirit of a modern
consciousness, performance for scientific, humane, rational, democracy,
freedom, equality, rights, the universal principles of the rule of law.
European and American academia around modern issue has been discussed for
several hundred years, in its evolution, roughly formed Marxist School Weber-liberal
school of thought and the modern concept of the conservative school of thought,
the development of the the recently there Habermas modern theory of
communicative rationality factions.
In the case of the constant pursuit of modern consciousness, modernity, Europe
and the United States and other countries, the establishment of a highly
developed material and spiritual civilization. Modernity own inherent
contradictions inherent in the process of rational spirit constantly, causing
imbalances rational spirit transforming them as they talk about practical tools
rational height of the rapid progress of science and technology and material
production shows unlimited potential, but the formation of a rapid expansion of
the human material desires, resulting in the matter of human squeeze and the
growing impoverishment of the human spirit, and makes in spirit always caught
the survival predicament. while in the other hand, over the past century has
malleable, carry forward the social science of the human spirit, and in
providing a variety of knowledge to expand understanding of the community, to
deepen people on their own understanding at the same time, in different
populations, Group hands, and so the rational becomes anti-rational, and
towards the reactionary, causing all sorts of crisis and turmoil, to the
society and the masses manufactured one after another in the near-destruction
of a disaster, which lost not only make their own authority, but also deepening
the crisis of the human spirit.
The 20th century, many European and American philosophers, poets, writers,
according to their own understanding of modernity, the above phenomenon or
interpretation and critique, or poetic revolt reveal under capitalism,
technological development, and the coming of the information society
contradiction. their technology first, issue exclaimed with warnings the
instrumental rationality comprehensive victory, deeply worried about the
increasing decline of the human spirit, their voices filled the tragedy of the
human consciousness. novelists use absurd tactics, human survival in the absurd
phenomenon even survival itself absurd, art show value, under the shadow of
coverage, constantly digestion and destruction of modern development, logic
from its own brewing all aspects of anti-modernity, and intensified, the
formation of anti-modern ideology was the critique of modernity, this
anti-modern, especially the humanities, philosophy, aesthetics, criticism.
Naturally, this is not against modernity, but criticism of the modern "kai
more negative things, that is critical to all aspects of instrumental
rationality, pseudo-science, anti-modernity manifested. This critical that
scientific, rational modernity itself the spirit of the powerful potential of
this critical precisely the modernity all features.
The Western scholars modernity of the last several decades ago of the 20th
century, the spirit of social, academic trend, located in the modernist,
modernist look into the final form of modernity, the crisis of modernism as a
modern crisis ①. the standard cite the principle of modernity,
to critique modernity uncontrolled expansion critique of modernity itself
reverse alienation become degenerate, is indeed the dominant tendencies of the last
century, modern and cultural trends, especially in the critical philosophy of
this century, the the skewer particularly intense. However, the modernization
of the drawbacks of previous non-modernist modernist philosophy, aesthetics,
literary genre, has long been discovered, and some criticism, so do not say,
only modernism exemplifies modernity. We can not critique of modernity negative
aspects of a variety of philosophical, aesthetic, literary, are classified as
modernism into Modernism track when the rise of the philosophy of language
theory, especially deconstruction and its closely related postmodernism after
modernism became the object of criticism, original thinking and narrative mode
generally been deconstructed and further was the disintegration of the value
and spirit of the people. alternative modernism, postmodernism announced Thus
modernity became declared obsolete. however, we know that a wide range of
cultural criticism, anti-modern phenomenon did not stop if completely modernity
positioning modernism, so many anti-modernity critique can exist forever?
criticism Does it necessarily postmodernism criticized? I am afraid that is not
necessarily the case for example, we in fact also the negative aspects of
modernity with a critical, but it is a modern cultural critique.
Natural, postmodernism can be said is a
critical.
Cultural criticism, however, from the viewpoint of postmodernism and modern
cultural criticism, is not consistent with the modern cultural criticism is
still exploring the positive factors, the need to safeguard the existence of
the human universal values and
universal spirit, in order to value and spirit of reconstruction be destroyed,
the critique here is to enrich and update; postmodern criticism is to subvert the old value, said to
re-shape a person's self-image, often very smart, witty reprove all the
modernity is not, and to treat them as the entire contents of modernity, and
thus negate modernity.
"We can, and should abandon modernity, in fact, we must do so, otherwise,
we and most life on Earth will be difficult to escape the fate of
destruction." ② The In fact, even in
Europe and the United States, if you want a society for normal development
consciousness of modernity and modernity establish discourse authority, even if a part
is out of date, its basic principles, the spirit or often new people survive
even for a moment can not leave. in this regard, perhaps the German philosopher
Habei Ma Sri Lanka believe that modernity is unfinished business point of view,
it seems more reasonable to ③ The.
Against modern postmodern philosophy indeed see people the old thinking of the
limitations of the new concept of the regulation of human relations, they can
be used to illustrate the causes of some phenomenon of modern society, and many
other negative phenomena .
In my opinion, these positive factors as the modern consciousness factors blend
of modernity, rich modernity, but it is difficult to supplant still play
dominated the social life of modern modernity expulsion from real life out,
progress will undoubtedly real life lost point, even to enter the era of
capitalist globalization, and undoubtedly would have been the normal social
development needs a great deal of resistance by the humanities, philosophy,
aesthetics, criticism in today's so-called globalization, is through the
international financial capital, information technology, jointly with
organizations in the world between countries to form a close liaison with
political, economic, and cultural relations of mutual restraint, it makes the
world's countries in the political, economic, cultural, toward formally the
same with the integration. But for the underdeveloped countries of the
political, economic, cultural, globalization is a sense of participation, to
develop their own active participation., They look to the modern and developed
countries advocated modernity is not consistent As for the future, the modern
connotation may change or become complicated, but the principle and spirit, no
doubt will exist for a long time to go.
For us, I think that reflects the spirit of the
modern consciousness of modernity is not outdated. Hundred years, China's
social modernization is very tortuous road many great changes in our society,
we can accelerate the modernization of the process, but the modern stage of
development of society appears to be a long road, difficult to be surpassed. We
have long wanted super super that velvet on the results these blind leap gave
people caused numerous material and spiritual pain. Pain in one written in the
early 1920s, Russia's dystopian novel >> << us, as much as such a
huge force of prophecy, and can not but cause us to think deeply. would also
seem that the principles and spirit of modernity.
Modernity has been repeatedly distorted the
today need new integration. For now, the majority of the crowd was not
found in the material to breathe fully modern life breath is also true in
spirit to make society into the modern country on the path of modernization the
road, we had a lot of people, now, how many people are in shaping modern in the
20th century, some scholars of modern Western society, as China's modern to
carry forward, and also by mail total Westernization But early in the second
half of the 19th century, Western modernity had exposed the other hand all the
contradictions, has more crises after the May 4th Movement copy, but this style
of study has been criticized by the people. others to disseminate the Marxist
theory, combined with China's actual Chinese society has opened a new era, but
to the 1950s, and the default of the Soviet Union today is our tomorrow, and
turned it into a series of mass movement, a different opinion on political
eliminating This is actually a typical copy modernity alternative blind
subjectivity, due to entrenched Oriental learning still has not come to an end,
resulting in science become a modern superstition, the ideal has been distorted
for long been criticized utopian, man-made disasters again and again, so that
modernity toward the "Cultural Revolution" feudal fascist toward
reactionary social development has been tremendous damage to the brink of
collapse, people spiritual home almost ruined ruins, and has so far failed to
make people mentally out of its shadow which has become a the generations Mingxinkegu
era feeling, no doubt, this will be a long-term cleanup of the history of
ideas.
80 years of reform and opening up era, some of the pain in their own backward,
eyes glued to the modern West, that the West today is our tomorrow, that this
is the modern spirit, then set off again westernize the tide in our thinking
sector, academia has a wide range of performance. literary studies, long ago
read the essay ④ Qian Liqun talking about the 1980s he proposed
the concept of the "20th Century Chinese Literature" with
their peers. notion that does not lie words to express itself, but in its
exposition made. Advocates of the interpretation of the notion, well-known in
the later writing of literary history, but there are different opinions in the
academic community.
Compelling reflection of real life in the 1980s
and 1990s. The essay authors believe that the concept itself is no need to change,
but in accordance with the actual situation of the development of literature in
the 20th century, today must be its meaning to make a new exposition; while
recognizing the notion proposed, it is subject to the result of the impact of
the Western Center on a scholar, to amend their own point of view is often the
case, some public acknowledgment of some undercover, some secretly correction
have to express themselves infallible.
The essay authors would like to correct his own point of view, it is practical
and realistic performance, but also a clean breast of the ideological sources,
in particular the recognition of the influence of westernized, but to have the
courage to tell the truth, I finished reading this short article, the deep
Author candid style of study touched Western Center on, in my opinion, is the
scholar understand modernity in the 1980s, and now some Western scholars say
contemporary Western society has entered a new understanding of modernity.
modern society, modern outdated mid .80, say the spread of the 1990s, some of
our young scholars to the theory of Western scholars move over towards
"modern chant in Chinese culture, literature, The End. "In fact, this
is yet another Westernization fiddle, or a truly" plagiarism ","
imitation "J vigilant, critical and avoid the devastating consequences of
modernization across its trap I think that this will not lead to the end of
modernity we have to analyze the Western scholars have different
interpretations and criticism towards modernity, but not limited to their
modernity made the same time, we can not be a repetition of the modern
superstition manufactured modern utopia, we need to build a modern.
View from the historical process of modernity, modernity is the spirit of the
modern consciousness of a given historical concreteness, a historic point in
various stages of development, the modern connotation has in common, but very
different . Academic thinking problems, put forward at that ground, it seems
contrary to the then modern requirements, rather than being taken seriously,
and even met with criticism; here and now, not only with the existing modern
requirements interlinked, but may also become a fundamental part of modernity.
For example, after the May 4th Movement debate evaluation of several academic
thinking, we proceed from the modern requirements, it can be said with the
requirements of the "May Fourth period in generally is consistent with,
but is not identical.
"May Fourth New Culture Movement, the Revolution a deep, real cultural
revolution campaign is intended to further destruction of the feudal system,
defeated the old cultural tradition towards a more thorough modernization of
its critical criteria , democracy, scientific ideology, part of it is just the
incoming Chinese Marxist thought. these ideas formed the modern awareness of
the spirit of the May Fourth period, its point performance for this period of
modernity in this period any cultural phenomenon, in the face of the New
Culture Movement, in the modernity front of the "May Fourth period, will
present its own raison d'etre, and subject to inspection and trade-offs.
promotion of the vernacular, is a turning point of my literary narrative; while
sinology tendency contrary to the scientific spirit and humanistic spirit with
the advocacy, hinder the advance of the New Culture Movement. later the
<< Xueheng >> send << of Jiayin >> faction, continue to
oppose the reform of the literary discourse, They defend the old culture,
criticizing a new culture, claiming vernacular literature is not literature,
reformist culmination of mockery of sensationalism, no doubt, they are natural
times laggards.
Historically glorious achievements of the May Fourth Movement in history, when
radical attitude taken by the old culture, from the promotion of historical
progress, it is necessary but it is also due to its radical, absolute, making
the new culture and lie a rift between the traditional culture, which is the
fact that some scholars do not recognize what fracture that inherited, which is
an opinion. The one hand we want to catch up with the development of the times,
to get rid of backwardness and ignorance of the situation, think only search
for role models and prescriptions from foreigners there, otherwise it seems to
be difficult to self-reliance. On the other hand, after decades of the May
Fourth Movement, We interrupt the traditional, always makes us feel wandering
no one to depend on cultural traditions. said that we have a fine cultural
traditions of thousands of years, but constantly lambasting ancient culture
resulting in burning of the ancient books, out of sight, touch I do not know
where is less than the fine cultural tradition, cultural, spiritual poverty
resulting in people. This is the last century in particular, to the mentality
of the past 50 years, although the situation has improved in the past 20 years.
Coming to an end in the 20th century, the events that occurred centuries, the
overall outlook of history today in front of us, this is undoubtedly so that we
can get an overall sense of history for us now, the evaluation of the history
may not be confined to a short period or a single incident can understand their
historical ties to become a holistic evaluation the modernity that spirit of
modern consciousness, has a much wider viewing angle, the tolerance of the
bearing. revolution in the culture of the past all aspects of thought, in the
history of the whole subject to re-evaluate and look at, even in the past been
considered conservative cultural thought so too. all factors conducive to
today's cultural development, and ingredients will we adopt to absorb;
everything factors not conducive to the development of today's culture,
ingredients, will be shelved. the original progressive phenomenon, may be found
to eliminate the moment regarding the isolation, showing the history of the
whole light and spacious, with a variety of other phenomena, negative factors,
and may even see go in the opposite reasons; been recognized as a negative
historical phenomenon, the same may be due to the elimination of the moment
regarding the isolation, the overall mutual contact, because of the historical
features of the light and spacious positive factors can be found to this
phenomenon, I think the history of the whole phenomenon of revelation can be
called the history of the New Culture Movement of the the << Xueheng
"party attacks is certainly not to be taken as an example, but today, the
purpose of academic research, has a new idea, but it is claiming to be
"academic theory study, elaborated to seek truth, Advocate national
treasures, and assimilate new knowledge." sinology, their attitude is
"Ming the origins of its approach of breakaway with images, to see my
country's culture, with win glory for the value of the sun and the moon; later
scholars have research Ferry and Bridge, explore the right track, not to feel
powerless and frustrated, futile; blind wantonly attack exclusively Figure
destroyed, and thinking also. "and that" the magazine The main Bo
pole of books in Western learning, deep glimpse bottom Austrian; then
understand Discrimination, prudently taken Optional ... integrated sheets, not
to the hearsay callsign advertised, caught one-sided and ignorant in general
also ⑤.
Natural these purposes, the advocate is unable to really implement, it is
difficult to achieve Moreover, come to a fork in the road up the other
propositions, however, today's erase the dark history of the flue
dust, showing its modern consciousness the spirit; After almost a century
twists fold the quest today also contains the spirit and advocate, no doubt,
they can become a part of modernity. history, there are a lot of blind wantonly
attack ", a large number of exclusively Figure destroyed, it is also true
that blindly indiscriminate attacks followed by all the anti-rational
destroyed, are destroyed by the practical needs of the historical development.
The overall evaluation of history, we are advocates of the modern way of
thinking, it recognizes the historical development in the period of upheaval
necessity of revolutionary struggle divided into two necessity, otherwise, new
ideas, cultural, and institutional no self-reliance, it is difficult to grow
and develop; produce formed on the basis of the criticism, to identify the
fully absorb the essence of the old cultural tradition, to cast their own flesh
and blood. blindly struggle also argued that the new culture, ideology, only
advocating dualism of thinking leads to social disaster today's modernity
should be a kind of rejection exact opposites, negate the the absolute struggle
either-or thinking, but also should be a move towards tolerance, dialogue,
comprehensive, and create contains necessary one or the other, with a value
judgment He also vital thinking.
Autonomy of literary theory and literary theory of the modernity of the new era
in China 20 years, by modernity instigated, and strive to the new changes,
continue to reflect the modern sense of the spirit of 20 years due to reasons
of history, culture, and so on, this is preliminary update in literary theory
literary concepts, significant changes in 20 years.

literary theory to explore the issues of modernity, nature and science,
humanity, democracy, freedom, equality, the rights of the concept and its
history can not be the spirit of the overall point to equate, but they can not
be separated with the requirements of modern literary theory, only in
accordance with the universal spirit of modernity, and the real state of
literary theory presented, starting from the requirements in line with the
development trend of, give OK. I thought the requirements of today's modern
literary theory, mainly in literary theory scientific, literary theory to
itself, to the self-discipline, autonomy; performance in literary theory to
openness, pluralism and dialogue; performance in the promotion of literature
human spirit and literary theory to to moderate criticism towards cultural
theory, new transformation.
The early 1950s to the late 1970s, China's literary and art circles popular
"literature and art serve politics, literary subordinate political slogan
is obvious, here the subject is political, literary completely in a subordinate
position, the subjectivity of the literary completely ruled out. The results of
the late 1970s when the "Cultural Revolution" politics toward
increasingly feudal fascist, theatrical, literary theory, criticism also fallen
unbearable, one after another political killing other people, always start from
literary criticism, from the "Cultural Revolution "lessons departure,
under the guidance of the principle of" emancipating the mind, seeking
truth from facts ", no longer mention" literature and art serve
politics, literary subordinate political "instead to mention the" art
of serving the people, "art for social Doctrine services. "
This is a timely and significant changes, and
also a strong move. Analysis of the two major here, "not to
mention", because the art to become a literary, we should first clarify
its doctrinal, literary truly become a literary That is also the inherent
autonomy, literary theory with the contingent.
The relationship between literature and politics, modern literary theory, as
early as in the beginning of this century, Liang Qichao some of been put out ⑥
This is purely a theory of; discussion in this regard in the 1920s, but also of
this nature.
Later this theory on the development of conclusions "literary
subordinate political" art serve politics "extraordinary period in
the history of this is necessary, but also played a good role in society.
This theory from the 1950s onwards, gradually became a political requirements,
has become a reflection of the policies of certain political demands. So the
theory is reduced to a policy and requirements of the political, cultural
departments, writers and artists have to go to implement.
According to our understanding, the so-called policy, mostly in some sort of
theoretical guidance to ensure that certain political, social idea was
implemented and developed certain measures and means of social power, wealth
distribution, redistribution of the various provisions and limitations. policy
always has a bloc, in the process of its implementation mandatory. assess the
situation, due to the characteristics of the seasonal nature of the ground,
flexibility, mandatory, it is policy.
The policy is the behavior of a power, mix together the literary theory and policy,
policy on possible alternatives to literary theory, to curb the literary theory
itself continues to explore and forward, the elimination of the theory of
school management and self-discipline after .50 early decades, something is
such development in China's literary and art circles, and the fact that only
literary policy without literary theory, literary and art circles and some
responsible person speech often the name of literature, literary theory,
various summary, but not actually exploring literary theory, but to dominate
the discourse of the power of interpretation of this theory, a grim batch after
batch processing literary dissidents ideological, literary theory pushed into
the air knife and biting frost "impasse theoretical exploration is actually
foreclosed everything discrepancy with the provisions of this policy, the
echoes of theoretical perspectives, views, by the intervention of the powers
ravaged policy and theory should not be confused with the fact that on can not
be mixed, but the power can make the integration of the late 1970s, early
1980s, not mention in literary literary art serve politics, no longer
mentioning subordinate political slogan, and replaced by the literary to serve
the people, serve socialism, which shows that over the past few decades, indeed
literary theory and literary policy mix, policy alternative, the theoretical
theory can be corrected, but it seems there is no alternative to the one that.
The theory is different from the policy is
obvious. Theory, in particular, has become a scientific theory, always out of the
real-life needs, and to adapt to the needs of the people practice activities,
so the theory has a distinct practical characteristics. The theory is used to
clarify some natural phenomenon, or social phenomenon, or a variety of the
human spirit phenomenon reveals it generates constitute its evolution, export
its results, indicating its future, so to have self-discipline. Theory on their
own Theoretical exist theoretical has its own logic, rigorous reasoning, so as
to constitute a scientific theory of this discipline, knowledge system.
theoretical reason to explore and to say the things the truth and try to
illustrate the universal character of things and is unique, so is always the
pursuit of truth by reasoning, rather than rely on the virtual press, do not
rely on external forces forced, do not rely on the scary people believe a
theory, is convinced of its truth, that is theoretical; does not believe it is
because it contained many errors, perverse, that does not make sense.
Historical experience shows that, relying on powerful deter sex to impose the
so-called theory, are unreliable. Forcibly perfusion, may succeed for a time,
once the fallacy and failure, the consequences will be catastrophic.
Theoretical own principled, adaptability, and seasonal, but a matter of
principle is the main, and never mandatory. theory with the times, historic
features, it can in the History of the Inquisition and constantly improve
themselves, to complete their own in a deepening understanding of the
formation, in the metaphysical sublimation constantly in amorphous, but without
changes in policy, feel free to substitute any theory the progress and
development of value-added lies in its doctrine, to form the theory of
value-added and innovative. policy as a means, it was adapted to needs, can
promote the coordination and development of the real relationship, reflecting
its "wise", but it does not matter the value value-added. A valuable
theoretical system, but in some respects was more reasonable and complete some,
but may not always one size fits all, the world does not exist such a panacea
theory. Fact, a theory often feasible here, it may not be feasible elsewhere
must take some kind of theory as a panacea, this is a theory-kai, the more
theoretical superstition, this is the tool of reason and ignorant attempt to
create performance in this century , instrumental rationality and superstition
movement caused by the disaster to the people there are too many and too much
at the same time a theoretical system, due to their own theoretical system is
too tight and can not absorb the strengths of the other theory, some
theoretical components, refused to rich and enrich themselves, which will
inevitably lead to their exclusion and self-enclosed, to make their own
theoretical rigid. then this theory to its own limitations revealed It shows
the power of the universal character of things shrinking whenever the passage
of time a theoretical doctrine likely will lose its charm, and when the new and
the new generation of social practice need a new theory and its Academic will
timely, and to influence the practice.
The progress of literary theory, continue to rely on theoretical accumulation
but now, its doctrine is distorted, the accumulation is interrupted and an
interrupt is decades, the theory naturally stagnant or even destroyed.
Literature the fate of the theory is that, other disciplines, and the second 50
years of this century, compared with the first 50 years, nearly 30 years after
the early 1950s, literary theory Corner extremely decay and desolation, which
is why this period is not a literary theory everyone reason the historical
profession in the field of philosophy, the same is true in the past few
decades, under the control of the will to power, modernity is anti-modernity
feudal replaced and is unimpeded in such a long time, and indeed very deep,
think of them.
Western culture towards truly modern, generally began in the second 10 years of
this century ⑦ the beginning, of course, may have to push before
Baudelaire era .19-century Western scholars including Russian scholars put
forward the independence of art 20th century early foreign literary theory
autonomy proposed also require literary theory back on itself, but its contents
and Literary Theory in China in the 1980s, returned to their own requirements.
difference lies in the autonomy of literary theory requirements, freed from the
shackles of political obtained its independence, literary theory literary
theory, to understand their own doctrine. the Western Literary so-called
independence, autonomy, is simply the study of literature itself, to get rid of
Literary Criticism the study of the so-called external research methods, that
is, to get rid of the so-called psychology-the study of history, social
studies, the impression of research, the writer biographical research, the
study of literature to their own problems to study literary works, such as the
works constitute factors, rhythm , metrical, stylistic, narrative, literary
types, evaluation literary studies toward the so-called internal research. due
to the one-sidedness of the research-oriented Western literary theory in the
later 70 years of historical process, internal research occupies a dominant
position, and song do research in literary works its wonderful, multi invention
However, this orientation has great one-sided nature did not make the literary
theory truly back on itself, because it is literature itself some components
dismissed out , literary theory is still incomplete. different from our Western
Literary own scholarly research, after a variety of social unrest, the
frequency by the scourge of war, but not interrupted due to the strong
suppression and a faction then one each advertised continueth until the late
1970s, many scholars, including structural theorists that the internal
limitations of the study have been obvious, such research has not clarify the
problem of the many aspects of the literary phenomenon. In the 1980s, many
scholars can not tolerate the internal research, have to get rid of the
framework of this study, and turned to external or advocated a variety of the
theoretical banner and the so-called culture criticism, or contributed to the
literary study of the combination of internal and external, to make literature
theory to obtain a more complete autonomy, which also reflects the literature
itself, literary studies doctrinal modernity.
The late 1970s, we have in the earlier two "not to mention" of
literary theory from the slave state of extreme backwardness lose self, go on
their own to restore the beginning of the century, there have been theoretical
exploration and literary self-discipline scientific exploration. literary
theory toward itself, to the self-discipline of scientific inquiry, which is the
minimum conditions of the modern literary theory, it can be said that this is
the literary theory of scientific rationality and the spirit of modern
consciousness, modernity initial manifestation.
Naturally, the two "not to mention", not to say that literature has
nothing to do with politics, but rather that the two are not subordinate
relationship, which is the positive side but can not fully understand the
relationship between the two, in the creation and theories, but also generate
the new situation. writers and commentators, pain uncoordinated relations in
politics for decades, have asked the Literature and politics at this juncture,
argumentation literature and politics separate, literary act of aesthetic
creation with writer nature, literary politics are not mutually related, hope
the political intervention literature, literature and politics divorce, etc.,
these feelings are understandable. Currently, the above point of view about the
relationship between literature and politics, generally showed two tendencies,
a form of cultural criticism , some of whom actually explore the political
issues directly, you can say, I can also say that not only requires political
intervention. Indeed, this is free for this freedom, opinions vary, here we
have no comment. ideological, literary and artistic creation, which can
actually be divided into two aspects., although the public opinion on
literature and politics to the separation to divorce, but some of the writers
is clearly in their own works, ridicule, mocking political; digestion, the
deconstruction of political, so went to negate any value of standards to the
point where only its superb text, style comment on, and asked to comment,
otherwise political criticism, political criticism is to stick to criticize the
second in critical the political strength intervention literary forming a pure
artistic tendencies, that is, trying to stay away from politics, and even
social life, literature in isolation from other social relations outside some
writers, at once keen games to speak, a language quiz-type activities. When
this kind of writing is unsustainable (also exist), and transferred to a
physical writing, to improvise something purely incidental, or resolve
historical, or from the "new state" to "status" of writing.
fact, the literary works can not write politics, and politics separate, but
literature and life are inseparable, and politics is a part of life, the
literary creation is difficult to avoid the political.
The world-famous "explosion of literature in Latin America, which is a
social the highly political literature, many famous novels depict some of the
social and political events. Strong but the social, political, did not affect
them the original art, Irony so they have sprung up everywhere in the world literature,
is unique. course, to fully estimate the social and political conditions of our
writers, the difficulty, and their environment is very different since the new
era of many young writers, some famous writer once Latin America as an example
of their writing deliberately imitate, but they are afraid of the social and
political issues, so it is only skin deep learning, the lack of a large-minded
Latin writers, national human the survival of consciousness and humanity
penetration the Paradox in force. their work trying to leave the social and
eager to improve their own aesthetic level, screen, often ideologically very
thin, shriveled, lack of artistic Guanghua, does not have a strong aesthetic
ability to think critically, expressive of the depth of human nature, which is
the need to have a hole through the force of ideas will. According to the
newspapers disclosed, revered by the young writers in China Latin American
writer Gabriel García Márquez and Vargas slightly Sa were raised over the
country, but they are not to accept the compliment of our young writers, even
teach writing experience, but to understand the future of Chinese socialism.
Garcia Marquez "If you want to know the current social situation in China
in the 1990s, the proposed about socialist future and destiny ", it is
