摘要：出于种种社会历史原因，空间马克思主义学者大多以经典马克思主义作家的政治经济学文本作为理论来源，而经典马克思主义文艺理论这一重要视阈却被长期忽视。就马克思、恩格斯经典文本而言，二人合著于1844年的《神圣家族》提供了大量亟待发掘的材料，可视为经典马克思主义文艺理论空间批评的先声。从经典马克思主义文艺理论视阈出发，运用传统的文本学研究方法，通过细读并分析《神圣家族》第八章对《巴黎的秘密》中城市空间、自然空间与乌托邦空间这三个向度的文学空间批评，能够揭示文学典型、宗教道德批判、意识形态批判等经典马克思主义文艺理论方法论的空间维度，激活经典马克思主义文本内部潜藏的空间生产与批判思想，足证《神圣家族》在马克思主义空间理论发展史上的重要地位。

Title: Before the Spatial Turn: Spatial Literary Criticism of The Mysteries of Paris in The Holy Family
Abstract: For various socio-historical reasons, scholars of Spatial Marxism have predominantly drawn upon the texts of political economy from classical Marxist writers as their theoretical foundation, largely overlooking the significant perspective of classical Marxist Literary Theory. Among the classical texts of Marx and Engels, The Holy Family (1844) offers abundant material ripe for exploration and can be viewed as a precursor to spatial criticism within classical Marxist Literary Theory. Adopting this theoretical perspective and employing traditional textual analysis, this paper conducts a close reading on Marx’s critique of The Mysteries of Paris in Chapter VIII of The Holy Family, from three dimensions of spatial literary criticism, namely, urban space, natural space, and utopian space. This study illustrates literary typicality, religious-moral critique, and ideological critique in classical Marxist literary theoretical methodologies through the lens of spatial criticism. By activating the latent concepts of spatial production and criticism within these classical texts, this paper demonstrates the significance of The Holy Family in the history of Marxist spatial theory.
