方志小说:一种值得关注的文化现象

Local Records Fictions:A Cultural Phenomenon Worthy of Attention

方志小说是指那些在创作中借鉴了志书框架以及编纂理念的文学作品。这类作品是方志和小说联姻的结果,无论对于文学界,还是对于方志界,都是一个新生事物。虽然这类小说的创作还处在探索阶段,但至目前,已经出版《庸国》《地方性知识》《炸裂志》等多部有较大影响力的方志小说,引起了文学评论界和社会各界的广泛关注。对这一现象进行深入研究,将有助于推动方志应用理论、方志编纂理论等多个方志学领域的研究。然而,方志小说现象尚未引起方志界的注意。方志小说的作品特征、创作现状以及对于地方志工作的启示等问题都非常值得探讨。

Local records fictions refer to those literary works that borrowed local records structure and compilation concepts during creation.These works are results of integration between local records and fictions,which is new for both the local records and literary circle.Although the creation of such fictions are still at the stage of explorations until most recently,a number of local records fictions with fairly great influences such as Yong Kingdom,Local Knowledge,and Zhalie Records have already been published,and attracted considerable attention from the literary commentators circle and a wide cross-sector of the society.Deeper research into this phenomenon would be useful in pushing forward research in various local records studies sectors such as local records application theories and local records compilation theories.However,the local records fictions has not attracted enough attention within the local records circle.Many issues such as the characteristics and creative status of local records fictions,and their revelations for local records work are all very much worthy of further exploration.
