“十七年”文学焦虑话语的逻辑

The Logic of Literary Anxiety Discourse in Seventeen Years

“十七年”文学界有一种成就不大的焦虑。当时判断成就不大的标准第一是与其他行业比较;第二是与古代文学、现代文学以及苏联文学比较;第三是与作家们良好的待遇比较。这种焦虑背后是一种“使命焦虑”“安全焦虑”“身份焦虑”与“影响焦虑”。而造成文学成就不大的原因,当时人们认为一是文坛人才处在青黄不接的过渡时期;二是艺术家执行毛泽东文艺路线不力;三是文坛的教条主义。这种焦虑话语既是一种文坛客观现状的反映,也是寻求文学按照自身规律发展的一种策略。

In the seventeen years literary circle,there is an anxiety that the achievements are not great.At that time,the first criterion for judging the achievement was to compare with other industries;the second is the comparison with ancient literature,modern literature and Soviet literature;the third is the comparison of good treatment with writers.Behind this anxiety are“mission anxiety”“security anxiety”“identity anxiety”and“influence anxiety”.At that time,people thought that the first reason was that the literary talents were in the transition period;second,the artists failed to implement Mao Zedong's literary and artistic line;third,dogmatism in the literary world.This kind of anxious discourse is not only a reflection of the objective situation of the literary world,but also a strategy to seek the development of literature according to its own laws.
