炼狱中的狂沙与真纯——对瞿秋白《多余的话》的政治文化审视

Persistence in the Purgatory Sandstorm ——Cultural Examination on “Confessions" of Qu Qiubai

瞿秋白是上世纪革命史乃至现代历史上影响重要同时也是颇多争议的人物,他生命最后时刻留下的《多余的话》在令后人谤议纷纷的背后却透出特定时代的悲剧况味,实在是一份留在历史上沉重的精神遗产。本文的目的不仅仅为瞿秋白这样的个案悲剧提供一种可能的阐释,而且选择政治文化这一视角拟从权威政治文化、求真文化信仰和个体文化性格三方面来审视这两份“自白”的现代文化意义。

As an influential figures in the twentieth century Chinese revolutionary history, or even in the whole history, Qu Qiu-bai seemed to have experienced similar tragedies of the times, although they died in the prisons which belonged to the opposite camps. During the days in jail, Qu wrote down “Unwanted words' which left a spiritual legacy in history. This paper will examine the modern cultural significations of the 'confessions' from the perspective of culture, including authoritative politics, belief in truth-seeking and individual personalities.
