现实主义的延伸和拓展——“新现实主义”思潮论

The Extension of Realism——Comment on New Realism

“新现实主义”是上世纪90年代中后期出现的一个重要的文学思潮。它以“三贴近”为创美原则,着眼于农村或者大中型企业在经济体制改革中的艰难处境,直逼现实矛盾、生存问题及百姓眼中的重大社会难题,成为透析新的历史时期、反映现实社会形态的一面镜子。它贴近民众民心,关注民生民情,对当下的生活进行追踪和艺术反馈,因而得到了民众的认同和赞扬。新现实主义既是对传统现实主义的继承和发展,也是革新和再造,赋予了传统现实主义以审美新质,这主要表现在现实主义精神的强化、进化、深化和美化上。
