叙述的权力:先锋小说的政治美学阐释

Power of Narration: An Interpretation from Political Aesthetics to Vanguard Novels

先锋小说以非政治化为诉求的话语变革,是20世纪中国小说中的重要现象。在先锋小说的叙事话语之中隐含着政治话语,叙述艺术表现了特殊的政治美学。先锋小说对“意识流”的发现,揭示了一个政治无法彻底统治的内心世界的存在,颠覆了政治的理性统治。存在的探索和存在感的凸显,还原了现实政治的真相,表现了特别的政治精神。先锋小说的“卑微观点”,则从“小”角度解构政治意识形态的“大话”。叙事视点本身的显现,构成了小说叙事话语的自赎,是对叙事权力本身的反思和反叛。先锋叙事的政治智慧,也可以反观政治美学的深层结构。

The words＇ transformations into vanguard novels are an important phenomenon about the 20th century novels of China. If we analyze this kind of non-political works by dint of political aesthetics, we can find that the words of narration in vanguard novels conceal the words of polities. The Art of narration has shown a special political aesthetics. The ＂stream-of-consciousness＂ discovered from vanguard novels has not only revealed an innerworld＇s being which polities will be unable to control completely, but also overturned the rational domination by polities. The exploration of being and the visible performance by the feelings of being have returned the truth of realistic polities, and also shown its special spirit. However, the ＇ low-down viewpoint＇ of vanguard novels has broken the ＇ big words＇ of political ideology from microcosmic angle. The salience of narrative visual point itself has made up the redeeming from the narrative words of novels themselves, which is the meditation and conspiracy to the power of narration itself. The political wisdom of vanguards＇ narration can also take turns to survey the deep structure of political aesthetics.
