孤独中的上升与下沉——常新港与苏童小说中少年成长之异质探析

Sublimation and Depression in Loneliness——Analysis of the Heterogeneity of Juvenile Growth in Novels by Chang Xingang and Su Tong

在常新港和苏童以少年为主人公的成长叙事中,少年始终处于"孤独"的精神境遇,但两位作家在表现孤独少年的成长目标和成长走向上,显示出了鲜明的差异。常新港的少年小说更多地展现了少年所受的自然教育,以及在此过程中得到的情感与意志的自我修炼和自我提升;而苏童的成长叙事则展示了本真的少年个体如何在混沌失序的世界中茫然前行,缺失正向的引领,不断受到外部世界的侵蚀,最终走向自我毁灭的过程。

In the growing narratives of Chang Xingang and Su Tong with juveniles as heroes, the juveniles have always been in the ＂lonely＂ spiritual situation, and the distinct differences are found for the expressions of the juveniles＇ growth aims and trends from the two authors. The natural education for juveniles is showed in the novels by Chang and emotions and volitions need self-exercise and self- promotion; however, the growth narratives by Su are about the young individuals＇ aimless growth in the chaotic world without positive guidance to the final self-destruction due to the constant erosion from the outside world.
