论“70后”作家的历史叙事及历史感

The Post-1970s Writers' Historical Narrative and Historical Sense

当前评论界对"70后"作家批评的一个基本共识是历史感的匮乏,其实"70后"作家的历史感知受制于一个历史与文化上的"流动的缺口",它对"70后"作家的写作形成了一种"表述遏制"。"70后"作家在利用各种方式填补这个缺口。在填补的过程中,"70后"作家自觉地遗忘了当下,他们的文本呈现为"活着的过去"与"死了的现在"的对峙。"70后"作家不是靠着由过去激起的情感进入了历史写作,而是因为当下的困惑进入了历史,而且在这个过程中他们以自身献祭的方式成为了历史的被驱逐者和被吞没者。人们对"70后"作家历史感匮乏的指责主要是受制于既定叙事模式的影响,我们不能盲目地判定"70后"作家是没有历史感的,他们只是喜欢把过去私有化,而不是像前辈一样公共化,他们的历史感会以其他的方式展现出来。

Many people agree that the post-1970 s writers lack a sense of history which hinders their writing. In order to fill up this ＂gap＂,the post-1970 s writers focus on the past things and neglect the present.In their writing,the contemporary is unimportant,while the past is very meaningful. They try to present history,motivated by the force of reality rather than by the emotion. While they are presenting the history,they are rejected by it too. Due to differences in thinking patterns,the post-1970 s writing may have special expressions about history,which embody some ＂private nature＂in descriptions of their lives.
