政治化的民间书写——关于赵树理创作的一种思考

Politicized Popular Writing——An Reflection into Zhao Shuli's Literary Creation

对于赵树理,研究者常喜欢从政治与民间的维度展开评价,要么将其视为民间文化的代表,要么将其视为意识形态的同谋。事实上,并不存在一个原生态的民间。是"政治化的民间"而非其他形态的民间,才是赵树理的民间的本质。这种"政治化民间"的叙事伦理,虽也与民间休戚与共,却又将政治视为幽灵,让它以无处不在、无所不能的方式影响、统领、支配、掌控着民间的一切。形成这种现象的原因,与时代语境、受众心理、作家身份等因素有关。对于这种写作得失成败,应该给予一种"同情的理解"。

In respect of Zhao Shuli, researchers often like to evaluate him from the political-popular dual dimensions, regarding him as either a representative of popular culture or an ideological accomplice. In fact, there is no such thing as primitive ‘popular world’. It is “politicized popular world” rather than other forms of popular world that is the essence of Zhao Shuli’s popular writing. Although this narrative ethic of “politicized popular world” is also closely related to the popular world, it regards politics as a ghost, so that it influences, commands, dominates and controls everything in the popular world in an omnipresent and omnipotent way. The reasons for this phenomenon are related to the context of the times, the psyche of the audience and the identity of the writer. Toward the success or failure of this kind of writing, we should extend a sympathetic understanding.
