Abstract

This article challenges David Rudd’s recent criticism of ‘The Reading Critics’ school of children’s literature criticism, which he takes to be problematic in so far as it is intolerant towards traditions that stray outside its own narrow concerns. Rudd forwards in its place an approach that is generous and dynamic. Through a close reading of Rudd’s analysis of both Winnie-the Pooh and psychoanalysis, this article understands the politics and poetics of tolerance to open some difficult questions. What are the limits of tolerance? Is what Rudd forwards merely a tolerance of the tolerable? Is his forgiving attitude to the work of ‘The Reading Critics’, as he mourns their passing, tolerance also? What if these critics were to object to such tolerance, or read violence or erasure within it? Most significantly, this article is interested in how such tolerance, and the celebration of open community, fits within the ‘broadly Lacanian framework’ that Rudd elsewhere champions. As Lacan has, at best, an ambivalent attitude to the politics of neighborliness, this article argues that the defense of a ‘broad’ and tolerant approach to theory that calls upon his work is only made possible by arguments that neglect the specifics of Lacan’s writing.

论儿童文学批评的宽容:心理分析、邻居与维尼
这篇文章挑战了David Rudd最近对“阅读评论家”儿童文学批评学派的批评,他认为这是有问题的,因为它不容忍偏离其狭隘关注范围的传统。陆克文提出了一种慷慨和充满活力的方法。本文通过细读陆克文对《小熊维尼》和精神分析的分析,来理解宽容的政治和诗学,从而打开一些难题。容忍的限度是什么?陆克文所提出的仅仅是对可容忍的容忍吗?他对《读书评论家》作品的宽容态度,在哀悼他们逝去的同时,也是宽容吗?如果这些批评者反对这种宽容,或者解读其中的暴力或抹杀,会怎么样?最重要的是,这篇文章感兴趣的是,这种宽容和对开放社区的庆祝如何符合陆克文在其他地方倡导的“广泛的拉康框架”。由于拉康对睦邻政治充其量是一种矛盾的态度,本文认为,只有忽视拉康写作细节的论点,才有可能为“广泛”和宽容的理论方法辩护。
