沈从文忧郁审美论

On Shen Cong-wen’s Melancholy Aesthetics

沈从文创作整体上呈现出忧郁审美的特色。早期(1924-1932)普遍书写形而下的个人忧郁,并以直白和诙谐的方式呈现,叙事中融入议论和抒情;中期(1933-1938)侧重借助小说、散文等形式表达对社会、人事、文化、历史凝重抑郁的主体性思考。忧郁审美成全了他也限制了他,其四十年代的某些创作已经流露出这种迹象。某种程度上说,1949年后,沈从文被迫放弃创作其实并不是一件可惜的事。

On the whole, Shen Cong-wen＇s works present a melancholy aesthetic characteristic. In the early period from 1924 to1933, his works were filled with personal melancholy, presented in a straightforward and humorous manner, integrating discussion and lyrical into a narrative. In the middle period from 1933 to 1938, mainly by means of the novel, prose and other forms, he expressed his subjectivity thought of society, personnel, culture and history dignified depression. Melancholy aesthetics perfected him but it also limited him, because some of his works in the 1940s revealed this sign. To some extent, Shen Cong-wen was forced to give up writing after 1949, which was actually not a regrettable thing.
