摘要
新历史主义将一般作为文学批评点缀的逸闻逸事发展为一种具有根本方法论意义的“逸闻主义”,强调其“触摸真实”和“反历史”的重要诗学价值。这对启蒙运动以来形 成并僵化了的审美与政治、文学与非文学、经典与非经典、文本与历史以及各个学科之间的 界限和壁垒具有强大的爆破力,也有助于文学批评打破形式主义的文本封锁和旧历史主义堂 皇叙事的话语垄断,使文学与人类生活的真实经验发生关联。这种将逸闻逸事与文学文本并 置的做法显示了批评家的创造性和想象力,同时也存在着随意化和程式化的种种弊端。
New Historicism has developed anecdotes--usually the rhetorical embe llishments in literary criticism--into anecdotalism with methodological import ance. In this way, it emphasizes the poetical value of anecdotes, especially tha t of “the touch of the real”and “counterhistories”. This kind of research ha s e xploded the boundaries between aesthetics and politics, literature and non-lite r ature, canon and non-canon, text and history, and the boundaries between differe nt disciplines since Enlightenment, which helps break through the textual blocka de of formalism and the discursive monopoly of the historical grand récit. This has also made literature connect with the real human experiences. New Historicis ts have been creative when they juxtapose anecdotes with literary texts, but som etimes their juxtaposition gives way to routine or arbitrary connectedness.
