초록
Western metaphysics has never been severed from its exclusive effort to monopolitically anchor Humanism as well as literary discourse in its own dogmatic vantage point. Western Humanism had not only invented the idea of the classic but had solidified and handed over its ideological hegemony that ultimately excluded from their literary discourse “the other” that may have threaten their social order and hierarchical cultural systems. From the early Greek and Roman Civilization throughout medieval Western world down to late nineteenth century Western society, prominent thinkers and writers had perpetuated the idea of the classic and only monopolized literary discourse so as to secure their own cultural identification. But, modernist and postmodernist literary discourse including deconstruction, reader-response criticism, psychoanalysis criticism, inquires into the very ideas of the classic and enlightenment that had been indoctrinated by hierarchical systems of both aristocracy and middle class bourgeois society. Postmodernism is a new hermeneutic cultural movement that anchors their point of departure for inquiry to a pragmatic view, a position that, instead of bringing collective response, the literary work remains a polyvalent text that reflects diverse socio-cultural interaction with unknown readers.
Abstract
Western metaphysics has never been severed from its exclusive effort to monopolitically anchor Humanism as well as literary discourse in its own dogmatic vantage point. Western Humanism had not only invented the idea of the classic but had solidified and handed over its ideological hegemony that ultimately excluded from their literary discourse “the other” that may have threaten their social order and hierarchical cultural systems. From the early Greek and Roman Civilization throughout medieval Western world down to late nineteenth century Western society, prominent thinkers and writers had perpetuated the idea of the classic and only monopolized literary discourse so as to secure their own cultural identification. But, modernist and postmodernist literary discourse including deconstruction, reader-response criticism, psychoanalysis criticism, inquires into the very ideas of the classic and enlightenment that had been indoctrinated by hierarchical systems of both aristocracy and middle class bourgeois society. Postmodernism is a new hermeneutic cultural movement that anchors their point of departure for inquiry to a pragmatic view, a position that, instead of bringing collective response, the literary work remains a polyvalent text that reflects diverse socio-cultural interaction with unknown readers.
