农民国民性的想象与塑造——重读高晓声的《李顺大造屋》

The Imagination and Molding of Farmers’ National Character——Gao Xiaosheng’s The House Building by Li Shunda Reinterpreted

高晓声的《李顺大造屋》是当代文学中批判农民国民性的典范性文本。李顺大的“国民性”在某种意义上成为一个开放性的场域，封建传统文化的沉积和延伸、政治意识形态的强行塑造和规训，以及知识分子的集体想象和文学讲述共同编织了李顺大的“国民性”。这种“国民性”的意义之网，在李顺大“游民——农民——臣民——弃民”的身份转换中留下了清晰的痕迹。

Gao Xiaosheng＇ s The House Building by Li Shunda is a canonical text for criticizing farmers＂ national character in contemporary Chinese literature. Li Shunda＇ s ＂national character＂, which is an open field in a sense, has been jointly formed by the deposition and extension of the feudalistic traditional culture, the forced molding and regulation of the political ideology, and by the collective imagination and literary narration of intellectuals. The net- work of significane of such a ＂national character＂ has !eft an explicit trace in the identity transition of Li Shunda from ＂a vagrant＂ through ＂a farmer＂ and ＂a subject＂ to ＂a rejected citizen＂.
