社会进程的历史性与角色转换的再认知——对周立波创作的一种历史再审视

Social Advancement and the Re-cognition of the Role Transformation: One Kind of History Re-examining to Zhou Libo’s Creation

20世纪四五十年代的社会转型期间,周立波创作了一系列反映农民生活的小说。中国社会的特殊性,决定了其创作不可避免会受到社会进程(包括实践和理论)的历史性规约作用;创作理念的及时更新,使周立波笔下的农民形象完成了五四农村小说以来从沉默奴隶、觉醒民众再到具有真正社会主体性的时代主人翁这一历史性的角色转换。更为重要的是,周立波以其创作实践印证了鲁迅先生早期关于"工人农民得到真正解放"的"平民文学"的论断,从而纠正了五四以来农民描写与"平民文学"的发展偏向,成就了真正的"平民文学"的时代,因而具有独特的文学史价值。

In the social transformation periods from1940s to 1950s, Zhou created a series of novels which reflected the farmer＇s life. Chinese society, particularity, had decided that his creation inevitably effected by historic restriction of the social advancement, which includes the practice and theory. The prompt renewal of creation idea had caused the farmer images in Zhou Libo＇s works finished their role transformation. In the countryside novels, the farmers from silence slaves to the awakening populace, and at last, they became the true social hosts independently. More importantly, Zhou Libo verified Mr. Lu Xun＇s judgment at the early time that the civilian literature emerged when the workers and farmers get real liberation by his creation practice. So he corrected the development deviatior of farmer image and civilian literature created from the ＂May Fourth Movement＂ period. It accomplished the age of civilian literature. Therefore, his creation has the unique value of the literature history.
