论“个人化写作”叙事立场及其审美风格

A Talk on "Personal Writing" Narrative Stance and Its Aesthetic Style

伴随着商品经济的骤然兴起,一种面对个体生命自身的意义和价值的"个人化写作"在90年代成为突出的文学现象,它对当时的文学秩序和平庸的写作予以激烈的抨击,表达了自身的文学理想和纯粹的创作理念:拒绝普遍意义的话语实践,疏离意识形态化的重大题材和时代的共同主题,更重视个体感受力和想象力,以个人性、主观性、内在性为表现特征,以自言人身份进行书写的个人化叙事。"个人化写作"的创作实践试图通过对日常生活还原式的客观呈现来刺穿"常人"的坚硬外壳,表达了对经验遮蔽下人类生存的哲理化追问。但是在日渐强势的消费文化影响下,标榜"忠于自我"的"个人化写作"为我们呈现出的却是一种几乎无可避免的欲望化奇观。

Along with the rise of commodity economy, personalized writing--a new kind of narration, has become a marked phenomenon in contemporary Chinese literature since the 1990s. By lashing at the then literary order and the mediocre writing, personal writing expressed its literary ideal and pure notion of creation： i.e. being resistant to the universal discourse practice and isolated from ideologicalized topics and common motifs of the epoch, with much importance attached to individual feeling and imagination as well as to personalized writing marked by individualization, subjectivity, intrinsic attributes and peronal monologue. Through its creation practice, ＂personal writing＂ tries to penetrate the hard cover of ＂common people＂ by presenting an objective picture of daily life, thus expressing a philosophical inquiry into human existence concealed by experience. However, under the imapct of the increasingly distinctive consumption culture, ＂personal writing＂ advertising ＂self-loyalty＂ has presented to readers an inevitable desire-dominated scene.
