论新写实主义小说“审丑”的美学价值

On the Aesthetic Value of "Appreciating Ugliness" in New Realism Novels

新写实小说的诞生敞开了中国文学审美的新领域,这种新领域也可以被称为暂时的审丑。这种审丑体现了对前代审美原则的超越,它主要表现在三个方面:一是对典型的破坏,此乃西方文艺审美合法化的根基;二是对伟大的屏蔽,亦是文艺审美的重要原则;三是对激烈情感的遏制,无论中西方都视其为文艺的本质特征之一。不过,新写实这些看似石破天惊的审丑原则早融入当下文艺创作的血脉之中,成为当下文学创作中的经典审美原则。

The birth of the new realistic novels opened the new field of aesthetics of Chinese literature. This new field can be called temporary appreciation of ugliness. This appreciation of ugliness embodies the transcendence of the aesthetic principles of previous generations, which is mainly manifested in three aspects:First is the destruction of classics,which is the foundation of the legalization of the aesthetics of western literature and art. Second is the shielding of the great,which is also a crucial principal of literature and art appreciation. Third is the suppression of violent emotions,which is regarded as one of the essential characteristics of literature and art no matter in the East or the West. However,new realistic novels and these seemingly astonishing principles of ugliness appreciation have been integrated into the blood of contemporary literary creation and become the classical aesthetic principles in contemporary literary creation.
