九十年代文学的两个基本向度及其理论启示

Two Orientations of Chinese Literature in 1990s and Their Enlightenments

中国20世纪90年代是一个重要的文学时代。在其纷繁的不断变化的文学现象内部,沉潜着两种基本力量交织构成的两个发展向度,即商业氛围支配下的“即时性”文学走向和道德理性支配下的理想主义文学走向。它们在现象上有各不相同的明晰的表现,在价值内涵上显示了90年代中国文学不同的文化选择和因此而生的矛盾与冲突。90年代文学的这种状态给我们提供的启示在于,文学发展虽然受生活的制约影响,但作家主体行为依然具有重要意义,如何寻找时代精神资源,深入把握生活基本状态,这是理解90年代文学和寻求新世纪文学发展规律的重要因素。
