有关成长的记忆痛史——评苏童《河岸》和陈家桥《少年王》

Painful Memories about the History of Growth:Talking about Su Tong's "Riverbank" and Chen Jiaqiao's "Young King"

自从20世纪50年代以来公共性的集体生活便开始干预我们的个体记忆,而有关传统生活话语的记忆并未隐退,三者一直存在着一种复杂纠缠关系。《河岸》与《少年王》都是不久前文坛关于"文革"历史或者后"文革"历史书写的新作,两部作品都突破了先前文坛的"文革"叙事范式,更侧重于对历史掩映下的个体记忆、传统记忆以及集体记忆三者之间的关系的梳理,并以个体记忆为主导反映了历史对个体成长、个体记忆的建构意义。

Since the 1950s,the public collective life began to interpose our individual memory,but the memory about the traditional life discourse did not retreat, and the three have been in a complex entangled relationship. The ＂Riverbank＂ and ＂Young King＂ is the new works on the history of ＂Cultural Revolution＂ or ＂After Cultural Revo- lution＂. The two works break the narrative paradigm of ＂Cultural Revolution＂ of the previous literary world, focus on the relations between individual memory, traditional memory and collective memory under the shade of history, and reflect the constructive significance of history on the individual growth and individual memory.
