试论“寻根文学”的发生与1980年代的知识场域

Discussion on Occurrence of “Root-Seeking Literature” and Knowledge Field of 1980s

在当代文学史上,"寻根文学"作为一个重要的历史"关节点",有重要的文学史和思想史的意义。本文以知识社会学的方式,勾勒了1980年代"文化寻根"前后的知识谱系和历史语境,并试图把问题历史化,在"清理"中寻求"寻根"的"自我批判",在历史反思和批判中,考量"寻根"的历史轮廓和意识形态诉求的复杂性。本文要讨论的重要问题是:在1980年代复杂的历史场域中,"寻根文学"是如何发生的?它的历史出场携带着怎样的问题史?这些问题对当下文学、文化、思想有怎样的启示或借鉴意义?
