戏说与解构:世纪之交“文革”题材小说一瞥

Parody and Deconstruction: A Study on the Cultural Revolution Themed Novels at the Turn of the Century

世纪之交集中出现了一批有份量的"文革"题材小说,以王小波、阎连科、王蒙等作家的作品为代表,不约而同地显示了一个共有的叙事模式,即"文革+性"。这种看似对"革命+恋爱"文学公式的延续却构成了对"文革"的革命话语的极大嘲弄和彻底解构,在喜剧归谬中让那段历史的任何政治修辞无以正名,同时也暴露出迎合当下趣味,使历史时尚化、游戏化的弊端。

At the turn of the century, there has emerged a group of novels theming in the Cultural Revolution, with Wang Xiaoho, Yah Lianke and Wang Meng as the best representatives. Research shows that they share the same narrating mode where the Revolution is integrated with sex. Such a mode makes a mockery of, and thus deconstructs the revolutionary discourse during the Revolution. The comic hue in these novels overshadows the political poetics at that time, Meanwhile, it reveals that the novelists are defected by their catering to the literary tastes nowadays.
