实验小说的济世宏图——从《实验小说论》看自然主义文学的社会功用的信度

From “the experimental novel” to see the reliability of social function of literary naturalism

左拉在《实验小说论》试图给自然主义文学加冕"一种科学真理的尊严",因此他在文章中大谈"实验方法"的裨益:还原真实、遵循实证科学精神、具备社会实用性等。这些原则有其体现在《娜娜》中的"生物的性描写"中——被持异议者嗤之以鼻,更是引发了对自然主义文学主张的抵制情绪。本文尝试追本溯源,厘清左拉推崇"实验小说"的思路与论证,对其作品中的"丑陋、低俗、淫秽、病态的等要素"重新作评估,指出左拉的文学理想包涵其兼具社会道德诉求等更深远的文艺功用意蕴。

Zola tries to give literary naturalism coronation 'a scientific truth of dignity ' in 'the experimental novel ',so in his article,talking about the benefit of 'experiment method': to restore the truth,guided by empirical scientific spirit,have the social practicability.These principles are embodied in 'biological description' in the 'Nana',caused to boycott sentiment naturalism advocated.This paper attempts to trace to its source,clarify Zola’s thinking and demonstration to praise the ' experimental novels ',to reevaluate the' ugly,vulgar,obscene,pathological elements ' in the work,points out that Zola's literary ideal includes both social moral appeal and more profound literary work implication.
