理论中的文学:乔纳森•卡勒"能动"结构观的虚空论置换

Jonathan Culler uses Steven Knapp's concept of "literary interest" to activate theoretical research and puts forward a new script that integrates literary insertion and theoretical expression as a reference, so as to change literature from the object of theory into the nature of the theory itself through the "agency" structure. The word "agency" comes from Knapp and his performative position, so it cannot be interpreted as "agent." However, when literature is included in the performative, it avoids the impact from others because of the original remnants such as contextuality. Given the residual origin in performative, the "agency" structure based on it does not eradicate the boundary between object and structure and, therefore, blocks the literature in theory. Only by replacing Culler's "agency" structure with the "void" structure based on the idea of event and eradicating the boundary between object and structure with the potential movement of the subject tending to the limits of language can the problem of the integration between theory and literature be resolved. In this process of void, the subject presents an essential difference from "Gelassenheit". Such a replacement reveals that the post-theoretical orientation of "the literary in theory" is different from that of experience, and it has been preliminarily demonstrated by examples.
