Liu Xie's Disenchantment. Attitudes and Duties of the Literary Critic as stated in the chapter « Connoisseur » of the Wenxin diaolong
As a plea for the acknowledgement of belles-lettres and for the authority of the literay critic, the text whose reading we propose here, defines a range of criteria to evaluate works in terms of their formal, as well as their organic and normative aspects. The above mentioned evaluation is, however, merely preliminary to the perception of the internal disposition of the works, this being the ultimate objective in their appreciation, as if by empathy. Hence, given the bitterness created by the scarcity of just and true « connoisseurs », the difficulty of discernment in literary matters, and the inescapable partiality of the critic, Liu Xie sets out to transform the bitterness into enthusiasm, the difficulty into
accessibibility, and to redefine the position of the « connoisseur » as that of a reader sympathising with the author, capable of recognising exceptional works, thus contributing towards their beauty and standing surely for their good fortune. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
