众声喧哗:台湾当代“杂语化”散文新论

Genres in the Boom:A New Theory of Taiwan’s Contemporary Prose

"杂语化"散文和抒情美文表征着台湾现代散文两种不同的叙事姿态。具有参与介入性、社会对话性和声音多样性的"杂语化"散文自古以来都是中国散文的重要传统。政治的介入、作家的逃避和典律的形构,造成了20世纪50至70年代台湾"杂语化"散文的断裂与隐匿。经历了1960年代现代主义的提倡、1970年代"参与与介入"散文观的形塑、1980年代"多元"论述的建构和1990年代主题知性散文的蔚为风潮四个阶段的发展,"杂语化"散文再次浮出历史的话语地表,形成了一种有别于以往以抒情散文为宗的"一言堂"现象,转为众声喧哗的"异言堂"局面,展现了台湾现代散文另一片更加广阔、丰饶的沃土。

“Code mixing”and“poeticization”represent two different modes of narration in Taiwan’s contemporary prose.“Code mixing”prose with the characters of“intervention,social dialogue and acoustic diversity”has always been an important tradition of Chinese prose.Historically,the intervention of politics,the escape of writers and the rules governing the forms resulted in the breakdown of this genre during the 1950 s and 1970 s.It has once again emerged in the history of discourse development after the advocacy of modernism in the 1960 s,the development of views of participation and intervention on prose in the 1970 s,the construction of the“multiple”discourse in the 1980 s,and the prevalence of themed elitist prose in the 1990 s.It thus breaks the hegemony of lyrical prose and leads to the coexistence of various genres of prose,which,in turn,demonstrates the wideness and richness of Taiwan’s contemporary prose writing.
