战后20年文学论纲

Outline of Literature of the Two Decades after the Anti-Japanese War

以"战时8年文学"和"战后20年文学"的思路替代以往的"40年代文学"和"17年文学"的思路,能立足于完整意义上的中国文学,打通原先被分割成"现代文学"和"当代文学"的"两种时期"文学间的内在联系。在战后东亚现代性曲折展开的背景下,1945年至60年代后期的中国文学,构成了一个新的时期。这一时期的中国大陆、台湾、香港的文学各有其流变脉络,战后香港文学在意识形态对峙中开始其文化个性和文学品格的寻求,战后台湾文学突破国民党政治高压,在文学思潮引发的文学传承和转换、创作多元典律的构建等方面呈现出影响中国文学整体格局的重要走脉,战后中国内地文学则开始了原旨意义的延安文学理想和激进实践的延安文学理想间的复杂纠结。这些流变恰恰呈现出战后中国文学的共同性,并从整体上构成了一个进入"民族新文学的自觉自立"前的过渡时期,其蕴含的丰富课题及其实践,初步形成了中国文学分合有致的多元格局;所提供的文学范式,则包含着民族新文学面临政治困境、经济转型、社会变革作出各种应对的历史经验。这种视野中的40年代至60年代的中国文学史,其丰富性和历史传承性,提供了20世纪中国文学历史整合的重要基石。

The idea of 'eight-year literature during the war' and 'twenty-year literature after the war',instead of the traditional 'literature in the 1940s' and 'seventeen-year literature',can keep in view the whole Chinese literature and establish the inner relations between the two periods of literature previously defined as 'modern literature' and 'contemporary literature'.Chinese literature from 1945 to mid-1960s has formed a new period.A number of changes took place in the literature of China's Mainland,Taiwan and Hong Kong,and the changes have indicated the integration of Chinese literature and have formed a transition period before entering 'self-consciousness of new national literature' and reasonable diversity in Chinese literature.From this point of view,history of Chinese literature from the 1940s to the 1960s has its abundance and historical context which have provided the important basis for the historical combination of Chinese literature of the 20th century.
