“文学事件”:中国当代文学史叙述的另一种聚焦方式

“Literary Event”: Another Form of the Narration of Chinese Contemporary Literature History

“文学事件”在“演绎式”或“求证式”的文学史叙述模式中,常常要为文学的意识形态性质而辩护,或者为文学史上的路线之争而出场;在这个语境中,文学事件不可能具有真正的文学史意义。八十年代以来的文学史著作出于对这种叙述模式的反动,而有意淡化文学事件,但这同样会有损文学史的真实性和深度模式的建立。还原文学事件在文学史叙述中的地位,在某种意义上就是在还原历史本身。我们不但需要真实的文学史,也需要真实的“文学事件史”,以此来重构文学史本来就具有的丰富和生动。

In “the deductive mode” and “the inductive mode” of the narration of literature history, literary events often appear as a defense of the nature of literary ideology or the difference in line in literature history. In this context, literary events cannot have its real meaning in literature history. Since 1980’s, the works on literature history have not laid much emphasis upon intentionally because of their disapproval of the mode of narration, which is still harmful to the authenticity o f literature history and the foundation of a profound mode. The restoration of literary events in the narration of literature history is, in a sense, the restoration of history itself. We need not only an authentic literature history, but an authentic history of literary events so as to reconstruct the original quality literature history.
