The Action Attribute and Action Effect of Deconstruction:Focusing on Lu Xun Criticism in the English World
Deconstruction as an "action",is essentially a powerful act of reading and writing,while pursuing absolute freedom in text interpretation and impulsive rebellion against the author's intentions.The action effect of deconstruction was fully reflected in the"deconstruction paradigm"of Lu Xun criticism in the English world from the 1980s to the 1990s.Firstly,in terms of theoretical stance,it challenged or dispelled the revolutionary and enlightening significance of literature by questioning Lu Xun's writing in-tentions.Secondly,at the level of textual interpretation,it rigorously scrutinized the class position of"LuXun/Narrator",and even intentionally"creates"a class distance between Lu Xun and the people,and revealed the self-doubt,negation,and "incompetence"in action of the enlighteners in Lu Xun's works.Last but not least,we need to reflect on the ethical misconduct of Lu Xun's criticism in the English world.We need to avoid the preconceived and binary oppositional critical stance,and instead,start from the Chinese context,and a dialogic and holistic standpoint to re-examine Lu Xun's writing.What we need to consider is how to reestablish a stable and reliable critical perspective for Lu Xun's works on the basis of affirming the value of enlightenment.
