左翼乡土小说人物形象塑造的局限

On the Limitation of Characterization in Left-wing Local Novels

左翼乡土小说家除了少数人之外,大部分都没有农村革命或者苏区生活的经历体验,他们只能根据自己以往的革命体验和耳食到的一些材料对农村革命进行文学想象。无论作家的想象能力多么强大,作为想象性活动的文学艺术毕竟同现实隔着一定的距离,也就是说,左翼乡土小说家在小说文本中所作的革命想象毕竟不能完全等同于现实世界,而是一个想象中的革命世界,由此使得左翼乡土小说家在想象革命时难免会存在一些局限和不足,集中表现在人物想象塑造方面。

Except a few of them, most Left-wing local novelists did not have any life experience of rural revolution or Soviet regions. They could only make a literary imagination to the rural revolution based on their previous revolutionary experience and some data they heard about. No matter how pow- erful imagination a writer has, literary art, as an imaginative activity, still has a certain distance from reality. That is, the revolutionary imagination made by those Left-wing Local novelists in their novels can not completely equate to the realistic world. That is only a revolutionary world in imagination. Therefore, in their imaginative revolution, those writers have unavoidably some limitations and defi- ciencies, especially in characterization.
