新世纪知识分子小说历史叙事的方式与向度

Way and Dimension of Historical Narrative in Novels of Intellectuals in the New Century

面对20世纪历史的创伤记忆,新世纪知识分子小说以一种非亲历性叙事的他者视角,重新审视了知识分子与20世纪中国革命和政治之间的复杂关系,探寻了知识分子在20世纪的精神流变,也反思了知识分子在革命与政治的规约下被同构的命运悲剧。对知识分子复杂而深邃的人性的深入揭示是新世纪知识分子小说对20世纪80年代这些知识分子苦难书写与情感书写的超越,作家们也由此对20世纪历史的沉重与混沌进行了新时代语境下的体认与重构,新世纪知识分子小说的理性书写特征因而更加突显。

Facing traumatic memories of history in the 20th century, the novels of intellectuals in the new century reexamine the complex relationships between intellectuals and Chinese revolutions and politics in the 20th century from an ＂other＂ perspective of non-personal experience narrative. While exploring the spiritual evolution of intellectuals in the 20th century, these novels also reflect on the tragic fate of intellectuals＇ homogeneity under the restraint of revolution and politics. A thorough revelation of complex and profound human nature of intellectuals show that the novels of intellectuals in the new century have transcended the writings of tribulation and emotion of those intellectuals in the 1980s. The writers hence start to recognize and reconstruct the chaos and heaviness of the history in the 20th century under the context of a new age, further highlighting the characteristics of rational writing in the novels of intellectuals in the new century.
