市场文学论——兼谈90年代文学的位移与嬗变

A Theory of Market Literature—also about Displacement and Change of Literature in the 1990's

进入９０年代以来，随着改革开放的深入、特别是社会主义市场经济体制的出现和初步形成，中国当代文学正在经历着位移与嬗变，就其现状和格局看，大致可以分为三大类：市场文学、准市场文学和非市场文学（其中包括应予查禁的“黑市文学”）。市场文学，准确些说在现阶段应该称作“市场经济初生期文学”，它是按照市场需要、通过市场运作方式进行创作和生产、主要为市场公众文化需要服务从而为两个文明建设服务、在市场上流通的文学，占有最大的市场份额和拥有最多的读者，而且正在迅速发展，必将成为未来文学的主力。从这类文学作品中表现出的对人本精神的探索、追寻和迷惘式的思考，正是作者在困难的转型过程中试图寻找一种诠释人自身存在的意义与价值的最根本的人本主义精神的反映。

ince the 1990's,with the deep going of the open and reform,and particularly with the appearance and establishment of the socialist market economic system,the Chinese contemporary literature has been undergoing displacement and transformation.So far as its current situation and pattern are concerned,it may by classed into three major types:market literature,quasi market literature and unmarket literature(including“black market literature”,which must be banned).Market literature,to be exact,should be in the present stage termed“newborn literature of market economy”,which tries to meet needs by producing creative writings in much the same way as the market operates.Its main purpose is to serve the needs of the mass culture so as to contribute to the construction of the two categories of civilization.Literary works which are current on the market,have covered the largest portion of the market and reached the largest audience,and as a result,this literature is rapidly developing into the main force of the future literature.In disussing this type of literature,the author shows the anthropological spirit in which to probe into and seek for what is puzzling in reflection.It is just during this difficult transition period that the author is trying to explore an explanation of significance and value of man's own existence,which is a fundamental reflection on anthropologism.
