论沈从文与张爱玲神话现象背后的文化关系

On the Culture Factor Behind the Sensation Created by Shen Congwen and Zhang Ailing

沈从文与张爱玲神话现象所表现出的文学命运的相似性有着文化选择的必然性与共同性 :二人坚持以自我所认同的文学性原则来传达时代精神 ,不愿被某种共性的文化规约强行遮蔽。这种个性追求具体表现为“传奇不奇”的人性写作立场。沈、张文学实践的意义在于以个人的潜在形式证明了新文学运动启蒙传统的薪火尚传和良性发展的可能性 ,这种意义的存在同时也反照出以往文学史写作的现实问题。

Having created sensation with their works,Shen Congwen and Zhang Ailing share something in common which evolved from their shared culture.To reflect the spirit of the era,they both stick to their self identified literature principle rather than drown by certain conventionalized cultural universals.The pursuit of the self identification can be reified as their 'legendary but not peculiar' writing stand.The practical significance in literature lies in the fact that it is possible to inherit and develop the tradition of the New Literature Enlightenment Movement through individual potentials,and such kind of significance is a miroor held up to the problem in the compilation of modern literary history.
