文艺与政治的撞击(下)

The Collision Between Literature and Politics

改革开放之后,对于"胡风反革命小集团"案的冤案性质,大家比较容易取得共识。但由于某种习惯性思维作怪,有些人总觉得胡风的文艺思想与主流意识不合,因而还是错误的。但是,判断一种思想的正误,不应以另一种思想作为标准来衡量,而应该用实践来加以检验。几十年来文艺实践检验的结果,证明当时所谓的主流文艺思想是不利于文艺发展的,而胡风的文艺理论倒比较符合文艺规律。他坚持着鲁迅文学道路,发扬着五四文化精神,对中国新文学起着推动作用。后来的作家们针对现实情况所提出的种种文艺理论观点,大都是胡风理论的再版和发挥,这也可见胡风理论的现实意义。由此文艺实践出发,需要重新评价胡风的文艺思想。

The injustice in the case of ＂Hu Feng＇s counterrevolutionary cliques＂ has been commonly ac knowledged since China＇s reform and opening up, but, due to some deepseated prejudices, Hu Feng＇s literary theory is still considered as deviating from the dominant ideology and therefore faulty. However, the only way to judge a theory is through practice rather than by the standards of another theory. Artistic practice over the past decades has fully demonstrated that Hu＇s theory sheds more light on the principles of art than the mainstream ideology, which has actually hindered the free development of art. Hu Feng, as a faithful follower of Lu Xun＇s literary views, fully embodies the cultural ideal of the May Fourth Movement and has greatly contributed to the development of new Chinese literature. Although Hu Feng was discredited, his theory survives since the artistic views developed by many later writers are either a reworking or elaboration of Hu＇s theory. Hence, it is highly necessary to reevaluate Hu Feng＇s literary theory in terms of its practical significance.
