当代新历史小说的“革命性”及现实问题重估

Re-introspection on “The Revolutionary Character” and the Problems of Reality of Contemporary Chinese New Historical Novels

当代新历史小说以"革命性"的立场和形式创新切入了传统历史小说中文本叙事和话语权力等问题,并以文化批判的视角提出了人的生存问题和历史对话问题。但是,这场"文学革命"表现得并不彻底,它所遗留的问题如文学形象与文本叙述的关系问题、历史题材的边界问题、人文主义精神的传承问题等,都没有从根本上加以解决。为此,有必要从审美重构这一新历史化倾向入手,以诗性维度和形式创新作为分析重点,重新评估其创新价值及未来走向。

The new historical novel cuts in the narrative text and the discourse power of the traditional historical novel with the standpoint and form of ＂revolutionary innovation＂, and proposes the questions of the human existence and historical dialogue from the perspective of cultural criticism. However, this ＂Literary Revolution＂ was not complete, with its remaining problems such as the relationship problem between literature image and text narration. The boundary problem of historical themes, the inheritance problem of humanistic spirit, are still not fundamentally solved. Therefore,it is necessary to start from the aesthetic reconstruction of this new historical tendency, take the poetic dimension and form innovation as the key points of the analysis, re-evaluate the value and the direction in the future.
