“中间代”或“中生代”:诗人自我意识的一种方式

"The Middle Generation" or "The Mesozoic Era":An Expression of The Poets' Self-Consciousness

对“中间代”或“中生代”的命名现象,其实只是这些诗人们“自我意识”的一种表现方式。他们对1990年代与1980年代的诗学差异尤为敏感,同时也就有对共同性的忽视,这导致了他们对自我存在的焦虑,并进而试图通过对自我命名的方式“标新立异”。然而“中间代”或“中生代”并不能构成一个独立于“第三代诗人”或“新生代”的“代”,他们应属于“新生代”的一部分或一种写作倾向,或者应称为“新生代后期诗人”。

The way to name the poets ＂the Middle Generation＂ or ＂the Mesozoic Era ＂is actually an expression of their selfconsciousness. Between the 1980s and 1990s, younger poets among them are especially sensitive to the differences. That leads to their concerns about their own existence and at the same time they try to create something new and original by naming themselves. But ＂the Middle Generation＂ Or ＂the Mesozoic Era＂ can＇t form a generation separated from the third generation poets or newborn generation. They should be regarded as one part of the newborn generation or perhaps should be called ＂the later poets of the Cenozoic generation＂.
