论鸡汤文的情感叙事及现实困境

On Emotional Narration and Realistic Predicament of Inspirational Articles

鸡汤文本质上是一种情感叙事的文本类型,其内容指向可以分为个人、家庭、民族与国家三个维度。鸡汤文以平民化、悲情化、激励性的叙事策略,实现对特定情感主题的生产,在文本形式上呈现出鲜明的类型化特征。从效用的角度来看,鸡汤文的价值主要有两个方面:一是社会层面的情感动员,二是个人层面的心理慰藉。鸡汤文再现了现代个体在世俗社会的真实处境,但忽略了人们接纳与认同社会的多元立场。随着社会竞争日趋激烈、社会阶层加速分化,鸡汤文需要直面个体与社会的紧张关系,在新的历史条件下重新寻找社会认同的契机。

In essence,the inspirational article is a type of text of emotional narrative whose content can be divided into three dimensions:individual,family,nation and country.Inspirational Articles achieve the production of specific emotional theme through three strategies of popularization,pathos and inspiration and present some vivid traits of categorization in the presentation of textual form.From the perspective of utility,the value of inspirational articles mainly reflects in two aspects:one is the emotional mobilization at the social level,and the other is the psychological comfort at the personal level.The inspirational article represents the real situation of modern individuals in the secular society,but ignores the pluralistic standpoint of people's acceptance and recognition of the society.With the increasingly fierce social competition and accelerated differentiation of social strata,inspirational articles need to face up to the tension between individuals and the society and look for the opportunity of social identification under the new historical conditions.
