中国现代文学的暴力题材

On the Subject-matter of Violentce in Chinese Modern Literature

中国现代文学对暴力的控诉与批判,不仅指向官患匪患兵患等直接的摧残,也指向礼教、迷信的软暴力以及社会底层的软暴力及其升级——赤裸裸的残忍暴力;对暴力反抗的合理性予以肯定的同时,也对暴力反抗持分析态度,对盲目的、不加节制的暴力予以质疑;在对暴力的分析性描写中,左翼、民主主义文学与自由主义文学呈现出多种形态。

Chinese modem literature orientates its complaint and criticism of violence not only to the direct violence in disasters generally caused by corrupted officials, bandits, and soldiers but also to such sorts of soft violence as Confucianism, and superstition and their upgraded form bare ruthless violence. While justifying resistance against violence, Chinese modem literature takes an analytic attitude by inquiring into blind and uncontrolled use of violence. As a result, left-wing, democratic, and liberalist literatures in China take different shapes in their analytic descriptions of violence.
