摘要
20世纪30年代,兰斯顿·休斯表现出强烈的激进社会主义倾向。他从唯美主义诗学转向实用诗学,强调艺术的宣传作用及其促进社会变革的功能。休斯将这种诗学同30年代中期兴起的人民阵线美学结合起来,在30年代中后期创作了具有鲜明思想和艺术特征的"人民阵线诗歌"。人民阵线诗歌一方面满足了新的政治需要,同时也促进了休斯诗歌艺术上的成熟。人民阵线诗歌的主要特点是:多重声音融合,即多个言说者聚合为一个声音或者多个声音融入同一首诗;大众文化与精英文化的混杂,即诗歌同时融合了大众文化、民间文化、精英现代主义等多种成分;种族融合的多元文化;非间离诗学,即通过认同——质疑/间离——重新认同的审美模式引导读者重新认识自己和社会的解释性诗学。
In 1930s, Langston Hughes, then a radical socialist African American writer, transferred from his 1920s aestheticism-oriented poetics to a reality-accommodating pragmatic poetics, by which he put emphasis on the social functions of art to do propaganda for social revolution. This poetics allows the Popular Front aesthetics to influence his creation, which leads to the rise of his Popular Front poems. These poems are acclimated to the new political requirements while witnessing a growing artistic maturity. The major features are : a collection of voices in a single poem or different personae in one voice; hybridity of low and high cultures, including high modernism; muhiculturalism based on racial integration; and poetics of disalienation, a poetics of explanation to produce new subjectivity and social reality in a pattern of affirmation-iuterpellation/alienation-reaffirmation.
