审美想象的媒介转折与文学独立性复归--从地方“文艺”期刊改名说起

The Media Transition of Aesthetic Imagination and the Restoration of Literary Independence:On the Renaming of Regional Journals of“Literature and Art”

1978年前后,新中国文学期刊经历了第三次改名热潮。这次改名潮是“新时期”文学转向的一个重要表征。它昭示着“十年浩劫”后百废待兴的渴望,且与“十七年”文艺主潮有着密不可分的关系。同时,它也深刻地体现了期刊办刊理念及审美想象的转折。此后,文学渐渐从“文艺”中独立出来,逐渐淡化工具性,洞悉“改革”难题,关注知识分子。文学界对于民族性的理解,也渐渐由利用民族形式转化为剖析民族伦理。在从动员功能慢慢到启蒙面向的转化之中,以文学期刊为主要媒介的“新时期”文学得以复苏并转型。

Around 1978,literary journals of China were renamed for the third time.This trend of renaming manifested a turn of the new-period literature.It demonstrated the public yearning for reconstruction after a decade of disaster and the inextricable connection between the mainstream literature and art in the seventeen-year period.Meanwhile,it also reflected the transition in the journals’operational principles and aesthetic imaginations.From then on,literature has become independent from the fixed models of arts and literature,with instrumental functions downplayed.Literature starts to address the issues of“reform”and intellectuals.The understanding of national character by the literary circle has also shifted from utilizing national form to analyzing national ethic.Using literary journals as media,the new-period literature has revived and transformed by turning from the function of mobilization to that of enlightenment.
