文化诗学的实践之路——以80年代以来的小说创作为视域

Practice of Cultural Poetics——From Perspective of Novel Creation Since 1980s

"新历史主义"并非西方的专用词,它在我国当代文学创作实践中就可究其源、探其本。作为一种文学思潮,它与整个当代文学紧密相融,它随伤痕文学、反思文学、寻根文学一起萌芽于80年代初中期,并以先锋文学、新写实文学的样式成为90年代文坛一股扑面而来的历史新风。它是中国作家结合中国的历史、文化和当下现实不断自我反思、自我调整、自我超越的实践累积而成的,具有明显区别于西方后现代主义的"中国特色"。从当代文学创作的实践中我们不仅可以分析归纳出中国文化诗学与西方新历史主义从产生到建构其内涵的独立性及其特征的部分相似性,还可以窥探到文化诗学理论的发展走向。

＂New Historicism＂ is not a special word of the West.Its source and roots also can be traced back to the practice of contemporary Chinese literature.As a literary trend,it closely combines with the new literature,sprouting in the middle of 1980s,with the scar literature,reflecting literature,root-seeking literature,and becoming a pioneering literature,new realistic literature in 1990s.It is embedded in China＇s history,culture and current realities,with the practice of Chinese writers in self-reflection,self-adjusting,and self-transcendence.It has ＂Chinese characteristics＂,different from western post-modernism.From the current literary practice,we can not only analyze and summarize the independence of its connotation and some similarities of characteristics from its generation to its building of the Chinese cultural poetics and western historicism,but also aet a glimpse of the development trend of cultural poetics.
