摘要：提及“重写文学史”，人们首先想到的是《上海文论》1988年第4期至1989年第6期开设的“重写文学史”专栏，以及围绕“要不要”重写、“如何”重写、“价值”何在等问题展开的论争。其实，从1991至2001年间，远在海外的《今天》接过这个旗号，把“重写文学史”专栏薪火相传了十年。如果把《上海文论》时期的“重写”专栏称为“重写文学史”的上半场的话，那么《今天》时期的“重写”专栏则是它的下半场。毫无疑问，无论是精彩度还是影响力，下半场都不及上半场。这之中，除了《今天》的“民刊”性质为“重写”专栏罩上了一层非意识形态的神秘色彩之外，20世纪90年代以后文学史研究渐趋冷静、理性，现代性反思之声渐起也是一个重要原因，再就是《今天》与重写文学史定位的抵牾和错位。

Abstract：Referring to “Rewriting Literary History”, people firstly think of the “Rewriting Literary History” column of Shanghai literary theory from No.4 1988 to No.6 1989, and the debates on such issues as “whether or not” rewriting, “how” to rewrite and its “value”. Actually, from 1991 to 2001, Today far away from overseas took the banner and had the “Rewriting Literary History” column for ten years. If the rewriting column during the period of Shanghai literary theory is called the first half of “Rewriting Literary History”, the rewriting column of Today is its second half. Undoubtedly, the wonderful degree or influential power of the second half can not be compared with the first half. In addition to the privately-possessed nature of Today which covers a layer of ideology of mystery to rewriting column, researches on literary history have gradually become calmer and more rational since 1990s, and the gradually rising of modern reflection is also an important reason. Moreover, the contradictions and dislocation between Today and “Rewriting Literary History” column is another important reason.

提及“重写文学史”，人们首先想到的是《上海文论》1988年第4期至1989年第6期开设的“重写文学史”专栏，以及围绕“要不要”重写、“如何”重写、“价值”何在等问题展开的论争。其实，从1991至2001年间，远在海外的《今天》接过这个旗号，把“重写文学史”专栏薪火相传了十年。
