摘要
萨义德在其主要的著作中分析了文学、政治和文化之间的关系,对批评的"世俗"本质的探讨构成了其文学和文化批评理论的重要部分。在《世界、文本与批评家》等著作中,他对美国的"左派"文学批评进行了反思,提出了"世俗批评"这一超越了传统的四种批评形式的"第五种批评形式",其特点在于它不仅强调批评与社会、政治和历史的联系以及批评家的批评意识,而且重视一种旨在挑战现状并激发社会变革的"对抗性"知识。
Edward W.Said analyses the relationship between literature,politics and culture in his major writings.His discussion of the secular nature of criticism forms a vital part of his theories about literary and cultural criticism.In The World,the Text,and the Critic and some of other writings,he reflects on American 'Left' literary criticism and puts forward the 'secular criticism',the fifth form of criticism which goes beyond the four conventional forms of criticism.Its distinctive features lie not only in its emphasis on the connections between criticism and society,politics and history and critical consciousness of critics,but also in its stress on the 'oppositional' knowledge which challenges the status quo and stimulates social changes.
