世俗精神与生活美学——论阿城的小说学兼及寻根文学的“歧路”

The Secular Spirit and the Performing Live Aesthetics——On A Cheng's Novel Aesthetics and the “Crossroads”of Root-seeking Literature

从"推动当代文学经典化"的角度"重返80年代",会发现阿城小说在立场与观念、题旨与人物、语体与文体方面都具有实质的创造性:他为文学寻根,疏离宏大叙事,回归世俗精神和生活美学;他的小说"三王"复调多义,塑造的人物具有原型意义,留下了巨大的阐释空间;他进行语体试验和跨文体写作,创作出了具有文章之美的诗化小说和新笔记小说。以阿城为"文化起义发动者"的寻根文学疏离了批判现实主义传统而走向了文化保守主义,标志着80年代"新启蒙"运动的终结。

From the viewpoint of “Return to the 1980s” and “Promoting Classification of Contemporary Literature”, we can find that root-seeking literature resists cultural nihilism and marks the awakening of human being and literature in the new period. This paper takes A Cheng as an example, intends to explore root-seeking novel’s aesthetics: firstly, the secular spirit and performing live aesthetics;secondly, cleaning up the thought methods of “Great Cultural Revolution” with “common sense”, inheritances the tradition of neoclassicism;Thirdly, exploring the cross-stylistic writing. At the same time, root-seeking literature moved towards cultural conservatism because of its alienation from critical realism, and in a way it marks the end of the “new enlightenment” movement.
