新世纪中原作家的老龄化书写

The Research on Aging writing of Central Plains Writers in the 21st Century

中原作家有关注现实的优良文学传统,近年来涌现了阎连科《我的父辈》、乔叶《最慢的是活着》、梁鸿《梁光正的光》、周大新《天黑得很慢》等文学创作,文字节制却涉笔情深,浮动着中原作家对老龄化这一时代议题的积极响应与深刻思索。中原作家的老龄化书写,以中老年群体或个体为主角,关注老年人的社会生活与生命状态。这一书写趋势与中原地区的乡土经验、文化积淀一脉相承,同时具有新的时代特点和新的社会价值。中原作家的老龄化写作对文学作品中的"青年/老年"的二元写作模式有所反思,在面对日益严重的老龄化问题时,尝试从文学层面反映当代中国城乡的老龄化现象和深层次的社会问题和心灵危机。中原作家对老龄化的探讨往往隐含着不同代际之间的文化省思,在现实主义创作传统的影响下,这种真实而沉重的思考所具有的普遍意义不应低估。
