疯癫叙事:20世纪中国文学历史意识的标本

Insane Narrative:Specimen of Historical Consciousness of Chinese Literature in the 20th Century

20世纪中国小说的"疯癫叙事"历经从萌生、演变、沉寂到兴盛的曲折发展过程。缘于作为叙事视角兼叙事声音的"疯癫者"驳杂多面的文化形象及不同于常人的言语、思维与情感体验特征,从"五四"到新时期再到世纪之交,中国20世纪小说疯癫叙事文本在不同历史阶段皆隐秘漫溢出特殊的历史意识。20世纪中国文学疯癫叙事踯躅于对历史的建构、置疑与重构之间,某种意义上,疯癫叙事是窥探20世纪中国文学历史意识的标本与参照。90年代以前,疯癫叙事致力于挑战同时期文学实践赋予历史话语的崇高与宏大;世纪之交,疯癫叙事在浓郁的历史虚无主义氛围中,展现出对虚无主义历史意识的审视与过往历史话语价值的重新确立。

As a remarkable scene in Chinese novels in the 20th century,insane narrative had a tortuous trip from emergence,evolution,dreariness to prosperity.Because of complicated cultural images and special experience characteristics in narrative voice,insane narrative in Chinese literature in the 20th century has conveyed special historical consciousness which is different from that of other literatures at the same time.From this perspective,insane narrative is the specimen of historical consciousness in Chinese literature in the 20th century.Insane narrative challenged the lofty of historical consciousness before the 1990s;and it reconstructed the value of historical discourse under the background of historical nihilism at the turn of the new century.
