文学分期的中性化叙述及价值体系的多元化——关于“中国现当代文学”分期讨论的一种反思

Neutralized Narration and Plural Value Systems in Literature Stage-division——Reflection on the Discussion about the Stage-division of Chinese Modern and Contemporary Literature

学界关于中国现当代文学命名分期有已有诸多的讨论,但由于过多地追求文学分期和文学价值的绝对同一性,致使分期讨论歧义迭出。考虑到文学分期的延续性,应该寻求一种相对中性的分期表述,将分期回到标记历史的功能上来,比如用大的政权更迭来标记。民国时期文学、中华人民共和国时期文学正是可以在这一层面作为替代性方案,这不仅可以沿袭既有分期命名的合理部分,又为文学史价值描述预留了空间,从而将作为价值描述的"现代"文学悬置起来,为建构具有多元价值体系的文学史提供一个平台。

There has adequate discussion on the name and stage-division of Chinese modem and contemporary literature. However, due to seeking for the identity of stage-division and value-describing, the discussion can＇t get a certain conclusion. In view of literary stage -division＇ s continuity, we should find a way of narration-neutralization that restores stage-division of literary history to the original state as a mark, such as the change of powers and some great political events. The name of literature of the Republic of China and literature of the People＇s Republic of China is one of alternative methods, which not only absorbs existing state-division＇ s reasonable parts, but also expands possibility of literature＇s value-describing. Thus, we should suspend modern literature that is used as value describing in order to provide a platform for constructing a literary history of plural values.
