The controversy over essentialism and anti-essentialism is the very context for the rise of "relationalsim".Nan Fan's "relationalism" is a strategy of interpretation,a strategy of exposition for literary theories to cope with the increasingly complex Chinese experience and culture.It is not only a methodology for literary studies but also an intellectual standpoint,hence an "extensive criticism".The interpreter,himself a part of the relation network,is involved in the "structure".While "relationalism" has so far been a discourse of the minority in the aspect of literary studies,it has quite a few counterparts in other fields.%本质主义与反本质主义论争是"关系主义"的出场语境。南帆的"关系主义"是一种阐释策略,是文学理论应对日益复杂化的中国经验与文化问题的一种论述策略。它不仅仅是一种文学研究的方法论,而且还是一种知识立场,是一种"广谱的批判"。阐释者本身也是关系网络之一部分,置身于"结构"之中。在文学研究领域,"关系主义"迄今还属于一种少数话语,但在其它领域,它并不缺少同道。
