从周作人的《平民文学》和“新写实小说”说起——关于“平民意识”回归问题的思考

A Thought on Zhou Zuo-ren's Civilian Literature and New Realistic Novels

从周作人发表《平民文学》到新写实小说的兴起,这不仅是中国现当代文学发展的过程,更是一种"平民意识"的继承和延续;"平民意识"是20世纪中国文学当中最简单也是最复杂的一种意识形态,因为它的能动性,所以不能固执的概括。而且,任何概括都是一种遮蔽。对"平民意识"的重新认识和探索,不仅可以建构起现代与当代文学的桥梁,更能增强我们对现代社会中人性问题的一些思考。

The time from the publication of Zhou Zuo-ren ＇ s Civilian Literature to the rise of new realistic novels is not only a developing process of contemporary Chinese literature but also a stage of the continuity of the civilian consciousness. Civilian consciousness is a kind of both simple and complicated ideology in Chinese literature of the 20th century. For its dynamic role, any conclusion might be obstinate and defilade. Therefore, this paper attempts to probe into the civilian consciousness so as to build a bridge that links modern literature with contemporary one and to arouse people into the thinking of human nature in modern society.
