论20世纪90年代初神话与历史题材的科幻小说创作

The Mythical and Historical Chinese Science Fiction in the Early 1990s

本文以20世纪90年代初中国科幻文坛出现的一批神话、历史题材科幻小说为研究对象,考察了时间旅行式的历史重述、外星创世的神话再阐释及时空本体的科普思考三种创作模式,认为用科幻手法重建民族文化历史,折射出知识分子对全球化进程中中国面临的民族身份认同危机的焦虑,将人文精神与技术理性、智性与诗性交融一体,对于开阔科幻美学空间有一定的价值意义。

The paper takes a number of mythical and historical science fiction novels pub- lished in the early 1990s as the object of the research, exploring three modes of writing： rewriting history in the form of time travel, re-interpretation of the mythology about the ex- traterrestrial creation, and the popular scientific thinking about time and space. The paper argues that the writers＇ reconstruction of the cultural history through science fiction reflects the intellectuals＇ anxiety about the crisis of national identity faced by China in the process of globalization. The technique that combines humanities, technical rationalism, and intel- .ligence and poetry has contributed to the broadening of the aesthetic dimensions of science fiction.
