欲望表演与诗意回望——论“新写实”之后日常叙事的两种路径

A Display of Desire and a Poetic Retrospect——On Two Trends of Daily Narration after “New Realism”

由"新写实小说"重新开启的日常生活叙事,对1990年代之后的中国文学产生了深远影响。其中,"新生代"作家和以王安忆等人为代表的女性作家的作品大致表征了日常叙事的两种不同路向。"新生代"作家在肯定人的欲望合理性的同时,也把日常生活简化为"原欲"或"物欲",以至于沉溺在欲望的表演中无力自拔。王安忆则对日常生活采取了一种回望的姿态,着力于在历史的幽深处打捞出日常人生的点滴诗意与优雅。这两种不同路向的创作都为当代中国文学提供了某种有益的经验和借鉴。

＂ New Realism＂ inspired daily narration and had great and profound influence on Chinese literature after 1900. The ＂New Generation＂ writers and Wang An-yi are the representatives of the two trends of daily narration. The ＂New Generation＂ writers confirm the rationality of desire, simple daily life as ＂ original desire＂ and ＂material desire＂ , and indulge themselves in a display of desire in their writing. On the contrary, Wang An-yi takes a retrospect on the daily lives and works to dig up the poetic essence and elegance of daily lives. The two different writing trends are both valuable for modem Chinese literature.
