Literary Hermeneutics:Challenges and Scope Expansion in Cultural Studies
Since the 20th century,many new theoretical concepts have been broadly used in the field of literary interpretation,which has continuously created a huge theoretical shock.The rise of cul-tural studies has not only posed a great theoretical challenge to literary hermeneutics,but also won a broad interpretive vision and ideological energy for its development.The multiple interpretation concepts and methods of cultural studies have also induced the problems of"overinterpretation"and "forced inter-pretation".For example,is cultural studies a kind of"forced interpretation"or an effective extension of interpretation?Obviously,cultural studies cannot be simply equated with"forced interpretation",and it is of great significance to treat the relationship between them dialectically.Cultural studies shows that the strong interpretive ability has created beneficial enlightenment for the theoretical update and discourse re-construction of contemporary Chinese literary hermeneutics,showing unprecedented vitality.On the one hand,cultural studies not only promotes the critical reflection of the contemporary academic circle on lit-erary hermeneutics.On the other hand,cultural studies urges us to examine the problem of meaning and literary hermeneutics in a broader spectrum of knowledge,and then promotes the construction of the dis-course system of contemporary Chinese literary hermeneutics.
