“文革”记忆与表述——“老生代”散文的一个研究视角

Memories and Accounts of "the Cultural Revolution": A Research Perspective in the Prose by the Generation of Elderly Scholars

"老生代"散文是新时期散文发展中的重要现象之一,而"文革"记忆是"老生代"散文多有涉及的内容。在对这一内容的表述上,"老生代"散文家选取了两种不同的叙事态度:一种是以巴金、萧乾、季羡林为代表的讽谏立场,另一种则是以杨绛、陈白尘、孙犁为代表的宽容节制立场。不同的叙事态度产生了不同的美学风格,但因精神资源的共通性与一致性,"老生代"的"文革"多元记忆完成了彼此间的互补,共同构筑了中国知识分子群体人格精神。

The prose written by the generation of elderly scholars （GES） represents one of the most important phenomena in the development of the new period prose. Memories of ＂the Cultural Revolution＂ are frequently touched on in such prose. Towards accounts of this special content prose writers of GES adopt two different attitudes ： some take a satirizing and admonishing stand represented by Ba Jin, Xiao Qian and Ji Xianlin; the others adopt a moderate and tolerant attitude represented by Yang Jiang, Chen Baichen, and Sun Li. The two different attitudes towards accounts of ＂the Cultural Revolution＂ have given rise to different aesthetic styles, but owing to the fact that their spiritual resources apply to both and show no difference, the multivariate memories of ＂the Cultural Revolution＂ by GES successfully complement ＆ supplement one another, thus jointly building up the character and spirit of the Chinese intellectuals as a whole.
