Abstract:As a core concept of poetics in Russian Formalism, “defamiliarization” means “making it strange”, which shows the purely artistic view of Russian Formalism. Taking “defamiliarization” as the base point, Russian Formalism has built an autonomously literary theory system. In Gao Zus Return of the Native, Ju Jingchen, by means of artistic treatment of defamiliarization, successfully overthrew the traditionally deeprooted cultural orthodox and the emperors authority, made the reception subjects get rid of mechanical and rigid perceptual modes, and experienced, observed and examined the history with a new visual angle and perspective.
