Abstract

Maurice Blanchot’s writing on the diary has been presented as ignorant and contemptuous of its object, and as misrepresenting the diary by focusing on its literary qualities. This article rehabilitates Blanchot as a critic and theorist of the diary, and moreover, as a pivotal figure in realising the diary’s literary potential. Blanchot’s discussion of particular diarists (including Benjamin Constant, Joseph Joubert, Søren Kierkegaard, Franz Kafka, and André Gide), together with his critical reflections, were instrumental in his creation of conceptions of literature that exerted a strong influence on the avant-garde movements of the following decades, even though these avant-gardes rejected the introspective aspect of intimate writings. Furthermore, Blanchot produced a programme for how the diary might become a literary work, which was picked up again by Roland Barthes in 1979, and casts light on experimental uses of the diary in recent decades.

莫里斯·布兰肖特:《日记》的“理论家”?
莫里斯·布兰肖特对日记的写作被认为是对其对象的无知和蔑视,并通过关注日记的文学品质来歪曲日记。布兰肖特是日记的批评家和理论家,也是实现日记文学潜力的关键人物。布兰肖特对特定日记作家(包括本杰明·康斯坦特、约瑟夫·茹伯特、瑟伦·克尔凯郭尔、弗朗茨·卡夫卡和安德烈·吉德)的讨论,以及他的批判性思考,对他创作的文学概念起到了重要作用,这些文学概念对随后几十年的先锋派运动产生了强烈影响,尽管这些先锋派拒绝亲密作品的内省方面。此外,布兰肖特制作了一个关于日记如何成为文学作品的节目,罗兰·巴特于1979年再次拿起该节目,并揭示了近几十年来日记的实验用途。
