理解“中国当代文学”概念的三个维度

Understanding "Chinese Contemporary Literature" from Three Dimensions

"中国当代文学"概念辨析引发无数讨论,但讨论大体上是从"中国"、"当代"、"文学"三方面展开:1."中国文学"概念并不具有自足性,在传统意义上的"中国文学"甚至并不包括"现代文学"和"当代文学"。台港澳文学怎样入史,华文文学能否入史,少数民族文学是否入史等,这些都是史编撰的话题。2."当代文学"起点时间存在不确定性,学者们根据特定时间概念或者特定文学形态标准,提出了不同的"当代文学"时间起点,从最早的"革命文学"(1928)至最晚的"新世纪"(2000),这些起点以1949年为界不断地"前行"或"后移"。3.在文学书写、传播、阅读方式发生深刻变革之后,人们对"文学"概念的认识也变得日益丰富,因而不仅出现了"通俗文学"、"非虚构作品"、"网络文学"是否入史的争议,而且出现了中国当代文学"通史"与"分类史"关系的探讨。

The numerous discussion of ＂Chinese contemporary literature＂ mainly focus on the three aspects： ＂ Chinese＂, ＂contemporary＂,and ＂literature＂ ：1）The concept of ＂ Chinese literature＂ is not self-sufficient.In traditional sense,it does not include ＂ modern literature＂ and ＂contemporary literature＂.Whether literature of Taiwan,Hong Kong,and Macao,Chinese literature and minority literature can be recorded in the history,is still the topic of history compilation.2）The starting point of ＂contemporary literature＂ remains uncertain.Scholars put forward different starting point of ＂contemporary literature＂ based on specific time concept or literature form.From the earliest ＂revolutionary literature＂（1928）to the latest ＂ new century＂（2000）,the starting points are ＂forward＂ or ＂ backward＂,with 1949 as threshold.3）After profound reform in literary writing,communicating,and reading,the awareness of ＂literature＂ has become increasingly rich.As a result,there are controversy that whether ＂popular literature＂, ＂ nonfiction literature＂,and ＂ network literature＂ should be recorded in the history.The discussion about the relationship between ＂general history＂ and ＂classification history＂ has become a hot topic at the same time.
