Ⅰ.“Going global” strategy of Chinese academics and discourse construction of ethical literary criticism

1.“Going global” strategy of Chinese academics

Over the past 40 years of reform and opening up,with the rapid development of China’s economy,China has become the second largest economy in the world,and the socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era.In the current era of world integration,the interaction between China’s cultural prosperity and the world economy is particularly prominent.China’s cultural construction is lagging behind economic construction,so it is of great significance to promote China’s culture and philosophy and social sciences,enhance the soft power of national culture,and strengthen the international influence of China’s philosophy and social sciences.

To this end,our government and the Party Central Committee have attached great importance,and pointed out that it is of great significance to carry out the “going global” strategy for philosophy and social sciences in Colleges and Universities.Walking in the front of the time and tide,knowing the changes in ancient and modern times,releasing ideological statement in advance,prospering Chinese academics,developing China’s theories,spreading China’s thoughts,and trying hard to make new and bigger contributions to the development of Marxism in the 21st century and contemporary Chinese Marxism are of great importance to enhance the international influence of China’s philosophy and social sciences.〔1〕With the support of the state,a number of original research achievements of philosophy and social sciences have been made in the international academic circles,so ethical literary criticism is rising at the historic moment.

2.Discourse construction of ethical literary criticism

Since the reform and opening up,western literary criticism has been widely introduced into China,making China’s literary criticism continue to move forward.However,during the development of more than twenty years in the last century,two vigilant tendencies have occurred in China’s literary criticism,namely,being far from literature and moral absence,a result of serious westernization of China’s literary criticism theory and academic discourse,showing that we lack innovation and contribution in the field of literary criticism theory.〔2〕

In the early 21st century,Chinese scholars began to construct the basic theory and academic discourse of ethical literary criticism.Over the past decade,with the emergence,rise and development of ethical literary criticism,ethical criticism has taken on a new look in China,and has been spread abroad.Nie Zhenzhao believes that “art and literature arise from ethical purpose and moral value”.〔3〕Ethical literary criticism is a literary criticism theory that emphasizes the ethical values and moral standards of literature,and highlights the social responsibility of writers and critics;it also has broken the situation that the discourse of western literary criticism occupies absolute dominance in China,and it has developed in China as a new kind of literary criticism.This kind of literary criticism theory is put forward by Chinese scholars,so it has unique Chinese characteristics,and provides a new exploration method and way for literary criticism,and breaks to a certain extent the aphasia of domestic literary criticism in the west.Chinese ethical literary criticism has become a fit example of the “going global” of Chinese academics,attracted many scholars from home and abroad to participate in the research,and gained good evaluation from peer experts in international academic circles,fully showing that Chinese academics are fully capable of “going global” and getting recognized by the international academic circles.

Ⅱ.Academic China and the core of the theory of ethical literary criticism

1.The development of ethical literary criticism at home

As regards the inheritance of excellent traditional culture,Xi Jinping stresses that “we shall strengthen the excavation and elucidation of Chinese excellent traditional culture”,strive to achieve “creative transformation and innovative development” of traditional culture”,〔4〕and provide a solid cultural support for national rejuvenation.In China,the research on literary ethics can be traced back to the writings of pre-Qin philosophers,and the educational function of literary social ethics began to be explored at that time.In a sense,literature contains ethical and moral purpose when it first comes into being,and the appreciation of the beauty of literature and art is not the main purpose of literature and art,but serves its moral purpose.〔5〕

Ethical emotion has been integrated into literary creation with social moral customs since the primitive ancestors began to express their emotions by chanting poems.During the Spring and Autumn period,the ancient philosophers had linked literature with ethics closely.For example,Lao-tzu,Confucius,Mencius,Mo-tse and Xuncius put forward similar statements.In the Confucian poetics,the early theory of literary ethics emphasized the virtue-based educational function of the ethics of literature and art.In the Han Dynasty,Confucian scholars gave full play to the concept that “a man of virtue must have good words”.Han Yu,a famous poet in Tang Dynasty,emphasized the emotional appeal and educational function of literature,and put forward the literary ethical proposition that “injustice provokes outcry” by adhering to the Confucian “orthodoxy” thought that “cultivate individual moral character,run the family unison,manage the nation in order,and peace will prevail throughout the universe”.In Song Dynasty,Zhou Dunyi advocated that “writings are for conveying truth”,and Zhu Xi claimed the “unity of literature and Tao” and “keeping heavenly principles and exterminating human desire”.In Ming Dynasty,the Neo-Confucianist Wang Shouren put forward “attaining conscience”,and emphasized moral consciousness and unity of knowing and doing.In Qing Dynasty,Li Zhi put forward the literary ethics of “preserving childlike innocence”,and emphasized the appreciation and creation of “original idea of the heart” without worldly edification.At the end of Qing Dynasty,Tan Sitong advocated “benevolence” and in May Fourth Period,the literary revolution set off a landmark in the history of Chinese literary ethics.After the founding of the PRC,the literary circle showed a strong sense of exploration and novelty,and the relationship between literature and reading market began to be close.〔6〕After entering the twenty-first Century,the proposal of “core values of socialism” and “Eight Dos and Don’ts” highlighted the strength of morality.It can be said that there has been research on literary ethics since ancient China,but the research has never formed a complete discipline system.

2.The development history of ethical literary criticism at abroad

In the west,literature and ethics are closely related,which can be traced back when ethics became a branch of western philosophy.In early period,Socrates,Platon and Aristotle proposed that literature constructed specific ethical values through the theme and form of works.On this basis,Matthew Arnold,F.R.Leavis,and Lionel Trilling et al emphasized the guiding significance of ethical value contained in literary works to life,and regarded the moral theme of works as the important source of humanistic education.〔7〕

Since the 1960s,promoted by civil rights movement,anti war movement and women’s movement,the literary criticism theory emphasizing ethical and moral concepts has appeared,such as feminism,new historicism,black aesthetics,etc,and the tide of ethical criticism has formed.The publication of Hillis Miller’s Reading Ethics (1987),Julia Kristeva’s Desire in Language (1980),Jim Merod’s The Political Responsibility of Critics (1987),Adam Newton’s Narrative Ethics (1995),and other works not only strengthens the discussion on the relationship between ethics and literature,but also lays the foundation for American ethical criticism.〔8〕

As an outstanding representative of western ethical criticism,Wayne Clayson Booth (1921-2005) pointed out in The Rhetoric of Fiction in 1961 that “the ultimate problem in the rhetoric of fiction is the moral issue to decide who the author should write for”.〔9〕And then he studied and discussed relevant important issues in literary ethics in Now Don’t Try to Reason with Me (1970),A Rhetoric of Irony (1974),Modern Dogma and the Rhetoric of Assent (1974),Critical Understanding (1979),Freedom of Interpretation:Bakhtin and the Challenge of Feminist Criticism (1982) and other works.In 1988,Booth clearly pointed out the rationality of ethical literary criticism in The Company We Keep:An Ethics of Fiction.Booth emphasized that literary works would have different ethical impacts on readers and played the role of constructing readers’ moral concept.However,in the 1990s,American academic circle questioned ethical criticism,making western ethical criticism decline.Ethical criticism has always been a broad concept in the west,and it has no theoretical system of its own,no clear academic language and critical characteristics.Therefore,American ethical criticism can only be regarded as a stage of American traditional moral criticism.

Ⅲ.Theoretical China and the development and innovation of ethical literary criticism

An important tradition of Chinese literature research is to combine traditional ethics and morality with literature.Japanese sinologist Suzuki Huxiong held that “we could not leave morality to observe literature from Confucius to the end of Han Dynasty” as early as 1920s.〔10〕Yuan Jixi pointed out:“The so-called doctrine of mean and sincerity refers to a supreme spiritual belief,a sacred and insurmountable moral spirit.Westerners regard this spiritual realm as religious spirit,while Chinese people integrate religious spirit and aesthetic spirit into the worldly spirit of doctrine of mean and complete sincerity,which can be said a great creation of Chinese culture.”〔11〕On the basis of inheriting China’s traditional culture theory and moral criticism and absorbing western ethical criticism,Nie Zhenzhao put forward the method of “ethical literary criticism” for the first time at the National Academic Symposium in Nanchang,Jiangxi in 2004.As a method of literary criticism with Chinese characteristics,ethical literary criticism has its unique critical perspective,specialized criticism terminology and its own critical theory system,so it attracts the attention of the world’s literary critical circle.

It has been more than 10 years since the development of ethical literary criticism in China,and in March 2014,Peking University Press published Introduction to Ethical Literary Criticism,which can be said a concentrated expression of research results.Introduction to Ethical Literary Criticism is included in the national key books in the “12th Five-Year” period,and it has great academic value.It first systematically and thoroughly discusses and studies the theory and practice of ethical literary criticism,marking the development and innovation of China’s ethical literary criticism,and it has the following three innovative values.Firstly,it makes great innovation in theory.This book has constructed theory and discourse system for ethical literary criticism as an original criticism theory.Secondly,it provides innovative reference in practice paradigm.It has deeply analyzed the classical literary paradigm and given a new and fresh understanding of Chinese and foreign literary classics from the new perspective of ethical literary criticism.Finally,it embodies the innovative spirit of “not forgetting the origin,absorbing the foreign”.It has absorbed the nutrients of Chinese and western literature,correcting the imbalance between the methods of Chinese and western literary criticism,represents the Chinese scholarly spirit and has strong practicality and vitality.

Ⅳ.Academic self-confidence and ethical literary criticism under international perspective

The key to achieve the going global strategy of China’s ethical literary criticism is to enhance academic self-confidence,expand international academic perspective,and enhance international academic influence.Here are four important measures:academic self-confidence with Chinese characteristics,establishment of international academic conference platform,construction of international academic journals,and evaluation of international famous scholars.

Firstly,academic self-confidence.Ethical literary criticism can actively face a series of fundamental problems in literary activities,and it is characterized by its Chinese characteristics and its combination with China’s reality.American scholar Hank Lazer pointed out that “ethical literary criticism is important due to (at least) two reasons:firstly,it is a literary criticism theory with Chinese characteristics so it changes,challenges,and even activates the discussion and creation on literature and the value research of literature in the world from a special cultural and historical perspective (Especially when the public and administrators of colleges and universities doubt the practical significance of literary research);secondly,it makes us inevitably rethink a series of fundamental problems,for example,why we read literature,and what is the value to study and read literature (especially serious literature) in depth,but these problems are often ignored because we are busy thinking about more “complex” and professional problems.”〔12〕Ethical Literary criticism is an academic theory with Chinese characteristics,it can truly “go out” and produce international influence.

Secondly,establishment of international academic conference platform.It has built entities,successfully held international academic conference on a regular basis,and expanded its international perspective.The International Association for Ethical Literary Criticism (IAELC for short) is an international literary and cultural organization established in Yichang,China at the end of 2012,and its purpose is to innovate the theory,practice the method,and attach importance to the ethical value orientation in literary creation and literary criticism.In October 2015,the Fifth International Symposium on Ethical Literary Criticism was held in Seoul,South Korea;in October 2016,the Sixth International Symposium on Ethical Literary Criticism was held in Tartu,Estonia;and in September 2017,the Seventh International Symposium on Ethical Literary Criticism was held at Queen Mary,University of London.These international symposiums on ethical literary criticism are highlighted by high quality,academic nature and internationalization,and they have made scholars from China,Japan,Korea,Britain,France,the United States,Germany and other countries and regions join the discussion together and become the academic feast for the “going global” of Chinese academics with huge international influence.

Thirdly,construction of international academic journals.The construction of international academic journals is one of the main ways to realize the internationalization of Chinese literary theory.But at present,there are deficiencies in this respect.In 2014,Nie Zhenzhao published a series of articles in the Social Sciences in China Press to stress that Chinese academic journals should actively participate in the competition of international discourse power,and call for efforts to build a number of academic journals with international discourse power.The appeal of Nie Zhenzhao and Wang Ning not only shows the needs of the country and the times,but also points out the direction for the development of Chinese academics to a certain extent.〔13〕Under the positive efforts of all aspects,as a high-level authoritative journal of foreign literature in China,the journal Foreign Literature Studies,which is the birthplace and main position of ethical literary criticism,has been included in the A & HCI source journals.That Foreign Literature Studies has become international academic journal has promoted China’s international academic influence in the field of humanities,and it has become an important carrier for ethical literary criticism to “going out”.

Fourthly,international influence.In July 2015,the international authoritative academic journal Arcadia (indexed by A & HCI) wrote editorial for “Ethical Literary Criticism:the East and the West”.Arcadia especially pointed out that “we have broken the convention to write this editorial for this special issue as a reflection and reaction to this critical theory (ethical literary criticism).”〔14〕The editorial focused on the impact and challenge of ethical literary criticism on the existing literary concepts and philosophical thoughts in the west,and pointed out that ethical literary criticism had Chinese manner and Chinese style.Another example,the international authoritative journal Times Literary Supplement (indexed by A & HCI) published the paper The Achievements of Cooperation:Ethical Literary Criticism in Chinese Academic Circle co-authored by William Beck,an outstanding American research professor at North Illinois University,and Professor Shang Biwu,a young Changjiang scholar at Shanghai Jiaotong University on July 31,2015.This paper systematically reviewed the birth background,basic theories,core concepts and current research status of ethical literary criticism,and made prospects for its future development.In addition,as a well-known American journal,Comparative Literature and Culture (indexed by A & HCI) launched a special issue of research on the ethical literary criticism papers in the same year to highly evaluate the achievements of ethical literary criticism in the past ten years.On the other hand,more and more international scholars and peers have involved in the research on ethical literary criticism,such as Charles Bernstein,Vera Newning,and Shittanov.〔15〕Moreover,ethical literary criticism has also been highly recognized and affirmed by international famous scholars.For example,the German scholar Ansgar Newning believed that China’s ethical literary criticism has rejuvenated ethical literary criticism to a great extent,and it is an important contribution of Chinese scholars to the study of world literature.Professor Claudi Lawson from Yale University and others have highly praised the progress of ethical literary criticism made in the world.〔16〕All these have become the important symbol of the growing international influence of ethical literary criticism.

Ⅴ.Academic “Chinese dream” and future prospects of ethical literary criticism

1.Academic confidence and consciousness of Chinese scholars and the founding of academic “Chinese dream”

Ethical literary criticism is an excellent example of Chinese academic success to the forefront of the world.It experienced a process from theoretical construction to continuous improvement and and condensed Chinese scholars’ academic confidence,consciousness and common efforts.

First,Professor Nie Zhenzhao made an important contribution to the construction of the basic theoretical framework of ethical literary criticism.He mainly published a series of papers to analyse the ideological and literary origins of ethical literary criticism,point out the necessity of the method,and define its objects and content,including Ethical Approach to Literary Studies:A New Perspective,〔17〕Talks on Literary Ethical Criticism,〔18〕Literary Ethical Criticism,〔19〕Literary Ethical Criticism and Moral Criticism,〔20〕Literary Ethical Criticism:Basic Theory and Terminology,〔21〕Literary Ethical Criticism in China,〔22〕Literary Ethical Criticism:Ethical Choice and Sphinx Factor,〔23〕Literary Ethical Criticism:On the Basic Functions and Core Values of Literature,〔24〕Literary Ethical Criticism:Interpretation and Examination of the Concept of Human Nature,〔25〕The Forming Mechanism of Brain Text and Brain Concept in Theory of Ethical Literary Criticism〔26〕etc.In addition,by putting forward 53 core terms of ethical literary criticism such as ethical taboo,ethical consciousness,ethical identity and ethical choice,and finding and deconstructing the critical methods of ethical lines and ethical knot,a solid foundation is laid the for the general application of ethical literary criticism.

Second,many scholars’ attention,participation in discussions and positive contributions.Chinese academics need to go out and innovate.Scholars have shown a sense of responsibility.Both famous scholars (such as Wu Yuanmai,Wang Ning) and young scholars (such as Shang Biwu) have made great contributions to the perfection and development of Chinese ethical literary criticism.Liu Jianjun’s Present Nature of Ethical Literary Criticism〔27〕pointed out that the standard of contemporary ethical literary criticism was the harmonious coexistence of various human-core relationships and it was a pluralistic criticism that covered a variety of critical schools.In Several Questions on Ethical Literary Criticism,〔28〕Lu Yaodong stressed that ethical literary criticism could solve problems that other literary criticism methods could not or were difficult to solve.In Present Situation and Trend of Ethical Literary Criticism,〔29〕Xiu Shuxin and Liu Jianjun systematically summarized the construction and development of relevant theories,the practical application,the existing problems and the trend of future development of ethical literary criticism since its establishment.Shang Biwu,in The Rise of a Critical Theory:Reading Introduction to Ethical Literary Criticism,〔30〕combed the acceptance and application of ethical literary criticism in China,pointed out the main views and core propositions of the criticism,and put forward some suggestions for the future development.In Realms of Ethical Literary Criticism in China:A Review of Nie Zhenzhao’s Scholarship,〔31〕Yang Jincai pointed out that ethical literary criticism based on detailed text reading emphasized the teaching function of literature as well as the theory and practice of literary ethical criticism.This showed that Chinese academics could truly “go global” through the untiring efforts and common responsibilities of all Chinese scholars.

2.Future prospects of ethical literary criticism

Marxist philosophy points out that the development of new things is a process of continuous improvement.This is also the case of ethical literary criticism.It is also a new literary criticism method,and has been used by domestic academia for more than 10 years.The theory of ethical literary criticism itself is very solid and perfect.However,in the process of development and practice,ethical literary criticism,like any new thing,inevitably encountered some problems.They are mainly reflected in the following four aspects.First,some ethical critics lack the analysis of the beauty of literature.When they do literature research,they are not based on the aesthetic reading of the text but take all the things in the work as materials to illustrate their ethical views.Second,in the study of literature,some scholars have the idea of ethical omnipotence and the problem of ethical misconduct.They believe that ethical literary criticism can solve all the literary problems and explain all the literary phenomena in the history of Chinese and foreign literature,which does not conform to the facts in the history of science and literature.Third,some researchers only talk about ethics in the actual application process,but ignore the mutual aid and coordination of various criticism methods.Fourth,some scholars have the illogic problem of “moral teaching”.They think that all works should play the role of moral education,and that the works with the function of moral education are the most outstanding works in the history of Chinese and foreign literature.〔32〕In the face of these problems,when literary researchers interpret literary works by ethical literary criticism,it is necessary for them firstly to pay attention to the discussion of the relationship between ethical criticism and aesthetic criticism and tread a very fine line in ethical criticism;secondly,to avoid tagged criticism on the basis of a foothold on the text;finally,to pay attention to the unity of subjectivity and objectivity and avoid subjective moral evaluation.〔33〕Only in this way can we further promote the perfection and better development of the theory and practice of ethical literary criticism.

At present,the greatest ethical need for literature in China is that literature should serve the construction of good morals,the purification of social atmosphere,the creation of a good social environment,and the satisfaction of the needs of the reform and opening up.These are the moral responsibility and pursuit of ethical literary criticism.〔34〕In the future,ethical literary criticism will further develop and innovate in the following two aspects,and constantly make breakthroughs.First,researchers in China will further strengthen academic confidence.The future development of ethical literary criticism should not only be based on the special context of Chinese literary criticism,but also solve the problems in the study of Chinese literature at the moment and take a look at the development and process of the whole literature research to solve the common problems in the world literature.Scholars should not only boost their academic confidence,but also participate in the competition of international academic discourse power to break the dominant position of the western theory in the world.〔35〕Second,ethical literary criticism should have multiple meanings,so the study will further expand the interdisciplinary perspective.In essence,ethical literary criticism has a distinct sense of moral responsibility and interdisciplinary characteristics.Therefore,ethical literary criticism should form a three-dimensional pattern on the basis of the previous one dimension.Scholars should not only study the works but also pay more attention to the writers,not only study the writers but also study the broader and deeper things that exist behind the writers.〔36〕

The globalization of culture is interwoven with the modernization of the country,jointly promoting the development of Chinese history since modern times.The modernization of the country has more and more urgent needs of the globalization of Chinese culture.〔37〕Ethical literary criticism has a strict theoretical system and a critical discourse with rich connotation.Its basic theories and discourse system theories are solid,sonorous and powerful,full of scientificity,authority and vitality.
