社会转型视野下中国当代文学史(1976—)撰写的一种可能性

A Possibility of Writing the History of Chinese Contemporary Literature From the Perspective of Social Transformation(1976—)

对1976年以来当代文学发展的论述,现有当代文学史著述基本依循了一种普泛的社会历史发展框架,未能追寻“时间”背后更丰富的历史实体内容,这造成了现有文学史对该阶段文学发展叙述的僵化和空心化。这种僵化和空心化的文学史叙述,不仅无法还原文学史发展的真实面目,也进一步影响了接受者对于当代文学的兴趣和理解。通过对现有文学史著述在这一方面的弊病的批评,进一步提出:在当代文学史撰述中,引入一种宏观的“社会转型”视野,代替原有的僵化和空心化的文学史叙述方式,则能对现有文学史著述形成有效的补正。同时,“社会转型”视野的引入,也有助于增强当代文学史与当代社会生活的关联,从而激发读者对当代文学史阅读和学习的兴趣。

As for the discussion on the development of Chinese Contemporary Literature since 1976, the existing works on the History of Contemporary Literature basically following a general framework of social and historical development and fail to pursue the richer historical substance behind "time", which results in the rigidity and hollowing out of the narrative of the history of contemporary literature about the literature development at this stage. This rigid and hollowingout narration of literary history not only fails to restore the true of the development of literary history, but also further affects the recipient's interest in and understanding of contemporary literature. By criticizing the shortcomings of the existing literary history writing in this aspect, this paper further puts forward that the introduction of a macroscopic " social transformation" vision in the contemporary literary history writing, instead of the original rigid and hollowed -out narrative mode which can form an effective complement to the existing literary history writing. Meanwhile, introducing the vision of ''social transformation" is also helpful to strengthen the connection between contemporary literary history and contemporary social life, so as to stimulate readers' interest in reading and learning contemporary literary history.
