论萧红现代童年母题的成功创化

On Xiaohong's Successful Creation in Her Works of Childhood Motive

现代文学的新变和超越不仅是在价值理念、话语模式、审美理想之上,而且是具体到题材领域、创作方法和文体形式等方面进行突破和开创。而在题材领域的新创之中,童年母题的出现和兴起无疑是一个极富意味的现象。与家族母题、乡土母题、爱情母题相比,童年母题似乎显得比较冷清和平淡,但是若从纯粹的文学现象来讲,她与上述母题相比则更富新意和开创性价值。综观现代文学童年母题的创作,虽然若隐若现、浓淡不一,但却贯穿于现代文学发展的始终。在众多对童年母题进行过创作的作家中,萧红无疑是极具特色的一位,也是最为成功的一位。关于萧红创作和童年经验之间深刻的精神联系,不少研究者已经进行过一些探讨。本文力图将萧红的童年母题作品放在现代文学的整体格局中进行审视,以求更全面圆融地理解童年母题在萧红创作历程与整个女性文学书写史上的意义和价值。
