摘要
记忆是历史的基础,历史则通过记忆,把已经消失的过去永远保存下来。历史叙述讲述过去的故事,而且和文学叙述一样,运用一些修辞手段,有一个完整的结构。当代西方的文学理论强调历史叙述与文学叙述的类似,但走向极端,则会抹杀历史与文学、事实与虚构的区别。最近西方已经出现了重新审视20世纪文学理论的趋向,我们应该重新思考现实、历史、再现、文学与历史的关系等重要的观念,逐步由极端走向新的、更合理的平衡。
Based on memory,history preserves what has forever gone and disappeared in a permanent record.History is a story about the past and,like literary narrative,is put together in a coherent structure with a number of rhetorical devices.Contemporary Western literary theory has put much emphasis on the similarity between historical and literary narratives,but its extreme formulations have the dangerous tendency of erasing the difference between history and literature,or reality and fiction.More recently there have appeared some works in Western literary criticism that reexamine the trajectories of 20 th-century literary theory,and it is now time for us to rethink such important concepts as reality,history,representation,the relationship between literature and history,etc.,and to avoid extreme positions in order to achieve a new,and more sensible balance.
